✨ High Above the Sanctuary, the Eucharistic Mystery Shines ✨
The Feast of Corpus Christi ❤️‍🔥✝️

✨High above the sanctuary is a stained-glass window portraying Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, consecrating His Body and Blood. Today, on this Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, it serves as a reminder of the gift of the real presence of Christ in The Holy Eucharist and His promise: "Whoever eats this bread will live forever."

❤️‍🔥At our last mass, on May 11th, Holly Hayes spoke after mass to announce “The June Challenge”. Just for the month of June, we are asking that Parishioners please try to offer an additional $20.00 per month. We also welcome any offering, no matter how large or small for this special month dedicated to The Sacred Heart of Jesus. Ten months without the collection plate income makes every gift deeply appreciated as we continue onward.

With grateful hearts, we thank you for your kindness, support, and love for our parish family. 🙏❤️
