At St. Gregory the Great, we don’t just enshrine the Apostles of many years ago. We know we have a mission to accomplish here and now. Our prayer ministries provide a space for us to actively participate in the spiritual growth of our community. Through prayer, we have communion with the living presence of Christ and contribute to the forward momentum of the Church.
Explore our prayer ministries below and join us in being active and involved in the movement of the Church today.
We pray for priests, peace, and personal petitions. Monthly meetings consist of praying five decades of the Rosary, one Divine Mercy Chaplet, and reading from St. Faustina’s Diary, the Bible, and the Catechism, followed by discussion, sharing, witnessing and fellowship, as well as occasional guest speakers.
LADIES OF THE LORD – DIVINE MERCY FOR THE DYING
This dedicated group within Ladies of the Lord prays the Chaplet of Divine Mercy for the dying, for special graces for the moment of death. If you know of someone who is dying, please email your Divine Mercy request to divinemercyforthedying@gmail.com.
All meetings begin with optional fellowship (sheet pizza is supplied, while members bring beverages, snacks, and desserts), followed by Rosary, prayer, works opportunities, and Scripture discussion group. More optional fellowship/cleanup afterwards. Every meeting is a different topic, so you can come any time. This ministry is a great way to meet other God-centered men in a structured but informal setting and grow your spirituality.

Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration is the continuous adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, in the Eucharistic Adoration Chapel located on the Grotto side of St. Gregory’s Church. Parishioners are invited to stop in anytime to spend time with our Lord. Closed daily 8:00 pm – 8:30 pm for cleaning.
Our traveling Pilgrim Virgin Statue fosters family prayer in our homes. Since most of us are unable to make a pilgrimage to Fatima, Our Lady makes the pilgrimage to our homes. The statue is brought to your home by 12:00 noon on Saturday and remains there until the following Saturday at 11:00 am.
