Perpetual adoration of the Blessed Sacrament is kept at the church.

Confession is available during most weekday Masses and for several hours on Saturday afternoon. Daily Mass and weekly devotions, including a Tuesday St. Anthony novena and a priest-led Holy Hour, are livestreamed on Facebook and YouTube. Religious education meets once a week from fall through spring for children and youth, with separate first communion, confirmation and continuing education classes, and the parish also lists adult formation, an inquiry program for those exploring the Catholic faith, marriage preparation, choirs and parish groups. A gift shop and a library offering free books and media are on the grounds. Times can change, so confirm on the website before visiting.
