The Feast of Corpus Christi (Feast of the Body and Blood of Our Lord) will be celebrated on June 11, 2023. After the noon Mass our parish family, with the First Communicants, will join together in solemn procession.

All First Communicants are asked to wear their First Holy Communion attire to Mass on this day and participate in the solemn procession. 

This is an optional ceremony, but we highly encourage all the First Communicants to participate in this celebration of our Lord’s Body and Blood. More details will follow as the date gets closer.

The Parish office will be closed Friday, June 9th.  We will reopen at the usual time of 9:30 am on Monday, June 12th.

Reason without the Search for Faith is Insanity [10.04.22] Faith is reasonable but ultimately beyond the reach of human reason. Faith is a supernatural virtue helping us by grace to accept Revelation because of the authority of God Himself, Who can neither deceive nor be deceived (cf. Vatican I, 3.2) Many suggest that the elimination of faith liberates human reason to overcome personal and social problems, unencumbered by religious superstition. [Read more]
