A beautiful ending to a wonderful week! 💛

Today we celebrated Mass together as we concluded VBS 2026: God Is Calling Me.
Fr. John wore a special chasuble and Deacon Gelasio, a stole, decorated with the handprints of our VBS children. A beautiful reminder that each child is a unique and beloved part of God’s family.
Throughout the week, we learned that God calls each of us in different ways… to holiness, service, marriage, priesthood, religious life, and faithful discipleship.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this week possible. May these children always listen for God’s voice and respond with joyful hearts.
“I have called you by name, you are mine.” Isaiah 43:1

VBS Day 2 – God Is Calling Me! ☀️🙏
Today at Vacation Bible School, our children learned that God calls each of us in a special way. We explored vocations and talked about those who answer God’s call through religious life and the priesthood. Through stories, activities, and prayer, the children discovered that listening to God’s voice begins with a willing heart.
“Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.” — 1 Samuel 3:10

✨ Vacation Bible School 2026 ✨

Here are a few pictures from our first day of VBS! Our theme this year is “God Is Calling Me.” Monday’s lesson focused on “Let Your Light Shine” as we learned that God calls each of us to share His love and be a light in the world.
The children had a wonderful morning learning about their faith, meeting new friends, and discovering how God has a special purpose for each of them.
“Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” — Matthew 5:16

✨ Corpus Christi Procession ✨

Corpus Christi, meaning "Body of Christ," is a special feast dedicated to honoring the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist.

As Catholics, we believe the Eucharist is the source and summit of our faith. Corpus Christi gives us the opportunity not only to profess that belief with our words, but to proclaim it publicly through our witness, reverence, and presence.

This year marks our third annual Corpus Christi Procession, and we invite our entire parish family to join us as we come together in thanksgiving for this incredible gift.

📅 Sunday, June 7
⛪ Immediately following Holy Communion at the 8:15 AM Mass

We would especially like to invite:
🤍 First Holy Communion children to wear their First Communion attire (no veil necessary)
❤️ Confirmation students to wear their Confirmation shirts

Join us as we honor, adore, and proclaim the True Presence of Christ in the Eucharist.
