Joyful Mysteries patch

The First Saturday Devotion was requested by Our Lady of Fatima in reparation to her Immaculate Heart for the salvation of souls and peace in the world.

To fulfill Our Lady's request on the first Saturday of 5 consecutive months, one must receive Communion, pray the Rosary, keep Our Lady company for 15 minutes, and go to confession.

 Our Lady of Guadalupe patch

We will begin in the Mary Chapel which is north of the Main Sanctuary. We will check in from 7:45 - 8:15 am or you can check in after starting at 10:15 am in the St. Andrew Discipleship Center.

PLEASE STAY IN THE MARY CHAPEL UNTIL AFTER THE MEDITATION. DO NOT LEAVE THE CHAPEL UNTIL THE ENTIRE COMMUNAL FIRST SATURDAY IS FINISHED.

YOUTH - All Youth wishing to pursue an award must work with an adult that is registered and trained by GHACCYO as a Mentor. Use the Mentor Directory to find a Mentor (if you don't have one already). Youth in high school must attend an orientation prior to starting an award.

ADULTS - Any adult planning to work with youth must register, have current Safe Environment status, and attend our award training classes to become a Mentor. See complete details on the What is a Mentor page.

MENTORS - In addition to working with youth on awards, Mentors are responsible for registering youth and submitting award applications.
