Jesus has given us the greatest gift, Himself. He is the Bread of Life and He wants to fill our lives with His Eucharistic presence as we journey to be with Him in heaven. In the Catholic faith, we believe that Jesus makes himself truly, personally, and tangibly present in the Eucharist. May we always avail ourselves of this great gift by our participation in Mass and time in prayer at Eucharistic Adoration.

On Sunday, we marked the Feast of Corpus Christi—a special feast day dedicated to honoring and celebrating the presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. At the same Mass, we also honored the Feast of the Ugandan Martyrs, a day that remembers a group of Christians from Uganda who courageously stood up for their faith.

We were so blessed to have our P.E.A.C.E. group (a group of African immigrants and people of African descent within our parish) participate in many liturgical roles on this day. Such as the Presentation of the Gifts—the moment in Mass in which the bread and wine are brought to the altar. Along with these gifts, they also brought forward generous donations for our local food shelf to help neighbors in need.

June 3 marks the feast day of the Martyrs of Uganda, honoring the memory of Saint Charles Lwanga and his companions who were martyred in the Kingdom of Buganda (now part of modern-day Uganda) between 1885 and 1887.

On their feast day, the P.E.A.C.E. group of Mary, Mother of the Church—a group of African immigrants and people of African descent—reflect on the enduring witness of the Ugandan Martyrs.

They celebrate this feast day on the first Sunday of June with prayer and fellowship, asking for peace and justice in their communities and throughout the world. In 2026, the 1st Sunday is June 7, the Solemnity of Corpus Christi.

The P.E.A.C.E group will be participating in many liturgical roles at our
11:00 AM Mass and Eucharistic Procession, as they both serve our Worship, and remember the Ugandan Martyrs.

Progress report! Prayers are welcome as Fr. Jim hopes to have the new icon completed by the Feast of St. James on July 25 (also his birthday!)

The icon draws inspiration from both Eastern and Western Christianity through the artistic influences of Andrei Rublev's icon of The Holy Trinity and the Mater Ecclesia, displayed both inside and outside St. Peters Basilica in Rome.

The name of the new icon comes from Pope Leo IX's motto: "In the One, we are one". The writing that will surround The Holy Trinity and Mater Ecclesia is "And God put all things beneath His feet" and "The One who fills all things."
