Thursday, June 19, 2025

This Sunday, we celebrate the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ Corpus Christi. It is a feast that calls us to pause and stand in awe of the mystery at the heart of our Catholic faith: that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, gives Himself to us body, blood, soul, and divinity in the Holy Eucharist.

Communion to the Sick & Homebound
Thursday, June 5, 2025

Eucharistic Ministers Training: Father Pawel and Deacon Stan will be holding a special training on Monday, June 23rd at 6:15pm at the Seton Center for anyone interested in bringing Holy Communion to the Sick & Homebound in our parish.
Our parish goal is to arrange for monthly visits to parishioners who are Sick and/or Homebound. We can do this with the help of generous volunteers who would like to serve as Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion. This training will focus on two categories of visitations: one group will be trained on how to bring Holy Communion to those at home; another group will be trained on how to bring Holy Communion to those in assisted living facilities. Anyone interested in serving as Extraordinary Eucharistic Ministers at Mass would be welcome to attend this training as well.
