Join us Fridays during Lent for Stations of the Cross at 5:30PM in the Church.
The Knights of Columbus will host a Fish Fry in Camerman Hall (church basement) following the stations.

The Stations of the Cross began as a practice of pious pilgrims to Jerusalem who would retrace the final journey of Christ to Calvary. Later, for the many who couldn’t make the trip to Jerusalem, a practice developed that eventually took the form of the fourteen stations currently found in most Catholic churches.
Our Lady Star of the Sea uses the prayers and meditations from St. Alphonsus Liguori’s “The Way of the Cross”.

Solemnity of Mary, The Holy Mother of God
2026-01-01 | Our Lady Star of the Sea Church, 500 Veneta Ave., Bremerton, WA, 98337, United States
Mass Schedule:9:00am | 12:00pm (noon) | 7:00pm

Mass Schedule:9:00am | 7:00pm (Español)

From Franciscan Media:Mary’s divine motherhood broadens the Christmas spotlight. Mary has an important role to play in the Incarnation of the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity. She consents to God’s invitation conveyed by the angel (Luke 1:26-38). Elizabeth proclaims: “Most blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb. And how does this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?” (Luke 1:42-43, emphasis added). Mary’s role as mother of God places her in a unique position in God’s redemptive plan.Without naming Mary, Paul asserts that “God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law” (Galatians 4:4). Paul’s further statement that “God sent the spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying out ‘Abba, Father!’” helps us realize that Mary is mother to all the brothers and sisters of Jesus.
