All are invited to this Holy Hour which will include Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, prayer before our Blessed Lord and a talk by Seminarian Intern Luke Danis.

Two people are needed on Friday, February 7, and the first Friday of every month,  to be committed to each hour of adoration from 7:30pm through the night to Saturday morning 7:30am. This is for the security of our parishioners and the Blessed Sacrament. Choose the hour that is best for you and sign up below  .

Our monthly "Emmaus Evening" is an opportunity to be with Christ together, like the disciples on the road to Emmaus, and to build our community on this foundation. Our evening will begin at 6:00pm with Eucharistic Adoration in the church. Food may be brought to the cafeteria a little earlier. We will conclude our time of prayer with Vespers and Benediction. Afterwards, we will move into the cafeteria for a potluck meal and time to be in community. Water and lemonade will be provided, but you may bring your own adult beverages and/or kids’ drinks. If you’re able to bring food, please consider bringing a recommended item in order to have a good balance (by last name): A-H: side dish, I-R: dessert, S-Z: main dish. Hope to see you there! This event is open to everybody. Please extend the invitation. 

At the 9:00am Mass at Our Lady of the Valley on Sunday, February 9 we will welcome new inquirers into the catechumenate. Over the coming months, they will prepare for their initiation into the Christian faith by baptism, confirmation, and Eucharist. Please keep all those preparing for the sacraments in your prayers.

Our Lady of the Valley has a critical need for volunteers for this year's fish fries. If you are able to help, please contact Angie Touvelle as soon as possible at atouvelle@qoacincy.org or 513-795-0530.

We will be introducing a new Mass setting this weekend - Mass of the Immaculate Conception, which is in our Source & Summit hymnals. If you would like to get a sneak peek of the music and hear what it sounds like, please use the following links:
