  • Corpus Christi Procession
    Related imageAs Catholics we believe the Eucharist is the source and the summit of our faith. Jesus present to us in the Holy Eucharist is one of the greatest gifts of our faith. The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ (Corpus Christi) is an opportunity for us to share that belief with the world.

    So join us on Sunday, June 23, 2019 at the 1:00pm to celebrate this most solemn mass. Immediately following the mass, led by our first communicants, we will process with Jesus from the church to the chapel. Those of us who can stay, will spend an hour with Christ in adoration, reflection and benediction by Deacon Rich. 

    If you will be attending an earlier or later mass that day, no problem, come for the procession, which should start around 1:50pm following the mass. Come and share your faith with the world.

Grieving Parents Retreat May 18, 2019

Of all the pains that life can hand us, arguably one of the most searing is the death of a child. As Jesus joined his distraught disciples on the road to Emmaus after his crucifixion, we ask him to join each of us in this ministry as we continue on our difficult journeys from grief to the healing peace that we, like Jesus’ disciples, can find in the Eucharistic community.

To meet the spiritual needs of parents whose children of any age have died by any cause—no matter how long ago—the Family Life Office offers the Emmaus Ministry for Grieving Parents. A unique, faith-based program providing spiritual retreats for grieving parents offered by grieving parents, the Emmaus Ministry offers a safe place where you can find peace, comfort, and hope, at least for a time. The entire retreat focuses on the parents’ personal spiritual journey, where one can engage as much or as little as one wants.
