During the Covid-19 pandemic, please
check our parish Bulletin (link at left) and the parish Facebook page
(link at left) for the latest information.
Reminder: Mask
wearing is expected at all masses. Families may sit together
however; non-family members are requested to remain 6 feet apart from
one’s nearest neighbor. This is why every other pew has been
blocked off since public masses returned at our parish. Cooperation in
this matter has kept our parish free from any outbreak. Please continue
respecting our safety measures.
Receiving the Eucharist:
Unfortunately, there have been a few instances of individuals receiving
the Holy Eucharist in the hand, and turning and walking away. Please
do not ever do this. When receiving the host, consume the host
immediately before turning one’s back. Every minister of the Holy
Eucharist must ensure that the host has been consumed. Turning and
walking away with the host is never permissible. When receiving in the
hand, self-communicate before turning away. Remember, we are receiving
Our Lord, Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity. The Eucharist is the “Source
and Summit” of our faith. Communion is always to be received with
reverence, attention and love. Thank you for your cooperation.

An Act of Spiritual Communion
My Jesus,
I believe that You
are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things,
and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment
receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly
to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen. |

In his
Motu Proprio, Pope Francis
institutes a Sunday of the Word of God. "Devoting a specific Sunday
of the liturgical year to the word of God can enable the Church to
experience anew how the risen Lord opens up for us the treasure of
his word and enables us to proclaim its unfathomable riches before
the world." (Aperuit
Illis 2)
Click HERE for a Lectio Divina passage from
the Diocese. |
The practice of lectio divina as
a way of praying the Scriptures has been a very powerful way to grow
in relationship with Christ for many centuries and is strongly
recommended by the Church. The Word of God is alive and active and
will transform each of us if we open ourselves to receive what God
wants to give us through the Scriptures.

Vocations
Discernment:
"To know your vocation: ask God in

inclinations."

"Quo Vadis" means "Where
are you going?"
and its members are young men in high
school who desire to grow in faithful discipleship and personal
holiness to be better able to discover their own vocation invitation
from our Lord, whatever that might be.
''FIAT'' is a Latin word for 'Let it
be done'.
It was Mary's response to the angel
Gabriel when she was asked to become the mother of Jesus. 'Let it be
done unto me according to Your Will' refers to Mary's 'Yes' to God.
The members of FIAT are young women in high school who desire to
grow in faithful discipleship by modeling their personal holiness on
that of our Lady. By doing so they hope to be better able to
discover their own vocation invitation from our Lord, whatever that
might be and make their own "fiat" or "yes" to Him.
