News & Events
Stewardship Reflection “Blessed are those who know how to detach themselves from their possessions and their power so as to put them at the service of the needy.” Pope John Paul II LITURGICAL REFLECTION …..In the celebration of the Mass the chief ways in which Christ is present in his Church emerge clearly one after the other. First, Christ is present in the very assembly of the faithful who has gathered in his name. Next, he is present in his word, sacred scripture, proclaimed and broken open. Also, he is present in the person of the ordained minister. Finally, and above all, Christ is present in the Eucharistic elements of his very Body and Blood. In a way that is completely unique, the whole and entire Christ, God and man, is substantially and permanently present in the Blessed Sacrament.
Holy Communion and Worship of the Eucharist Outside Mass, 1975, Numbers 1 and 2. 
Almighty God, our Rock and our Salvation, we beg you to pour out your Holy Spirit upon our nation. Heal the divisions that separate us and remove all obstacles to authentic unity.
May you guide this great country of ours and lead our citizens to embrace one another as neighbors and fellow countrymen, created in your own image and likeness. Give us a fresh opportunity for renewal and true solidarity for the common good of our homeland. May we return to our true identity as people of faith and charity. Help us to always remain One Nation, Under God, Indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all. Amen. EUCHARISTIC ADORATION is held on the first Friday of every month, from 6:30 PM until 7:30 PM in the Church. Holy Hour will consist of Exposition, proclamation of a Gospel reading, short homily, and silent prayer. At 7:00 PM the Litany of the Holy Eucharist will be chanted and followed by silent prayer. The Holy Hour will conclude with Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament. Please join us on Fri., March 1 at 6:30 PM for the next Eucharistic Adoration.
PRECIOUS BLOOD DISTRIBUTION: Because of the seriousness of this flu season, Bishop Bartchak has asked that the Precious Blood of the Lord not be offered at Mass temporarily. It is the belief of the Catholic Church that the whole Body of Christ is present under either form of consecrated bread and wine. Also, the exchange of the sign of peace should avoid bodily contact. A reverent nod with eye contact and a smile will be the temporary practice. Reception of Holy Communion on the hand is encouraged; however, reception on the tongue may not be denied. These norms are in effect throughout the winter months or until the flu season is over.
BLANKET BLESSING: Father George will be blessing handmade prayer blankets, made by the members of the Sewing Ministry, at all Masses on March 2 and 3. Please feel free to take them for anyone needing some love and prayers! After these Masses (Mar. 2 and 3) the blessed blankets will be available at the Parish Office.
