Today is the Peter’s Pence Collection, a worldwide collection that supports the work of the Universal Church, including the work of the Holy See and the charitable works of Pope Francis. Take this opportunity to join with Pope Francis and be a sign of mercy to our suffering brothers and sisters.

As we continue in this year of Eucharistic Revival I wanted to share with you a prayer that was composed in & for our Diocese this year. I would invite you to cut this out of the bulletin & keep it on...

Greetings, parish family! I wanted to discuss today a question that comes up a lot, “How long do we need to fast before receiving the Eucharist?” The Eucharisitc fast is designed to help us remember the deep hunger that should lie within each of us for the great gift that we receive in the Eucharistic Lord Jesus, the Bread of Life.

This weekend we celebrate the Solemnity of Corpus Christi Sunday, the Body & Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. We celebrate this Solemnity every year, but in this year it takes on an even more special meaning as we kick off our year-long Eucharistic Revival. This revival is an invitation, an opportunity, for us, to reflect on what the Eucharist means to us.

Last weekend, we celebrated the great Feast of Pentecost as we concluded our Easter season. Over the next 2 weeks we’ll celebrate the Most Holy Trinity & the Body & Blood of Christ as we prepare to enter back into Ordinary Time.
