Don't Forget - Wear RED this Sunday for Pentecost!


CORPUS CHRISTI ~ Feast of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Jesus
Sunday, June 2

Picture
      Mark your calendar now for the Feast of Corpus Christi as we honor the Body and Blood of Jesus.  This year our Corpus Christi Procession will take place at the conclusion of the 11:15 am Mass.  We will process outside with the Eucharist with brief stops for prayer at the front of the Little Church, at the OLPH Shrine, and also in the Prayer Garden.  The procession will conclude with benediction in the Church.  Plan on attending and being part of this very special procession honoring and praising the Lord in the great gift of the Eucharist. 

    All of our First Communion students are invited to the 11:15 am mass and to be part of the procession dressed in their First Communion outfits.
