Our Corpus Christi Procession Around the Parish Block starts after the Post Communion Prayer at the June 7th 10:30 Mass, when we will process out of the church, singing Eucharistic hymns as we Walk with Christ in the City. We conclude with Solemn Benediction & the Blessing of Lexington on the piazza &, following Simple Reposition of the Blessed Sacrament in the church, the Rosary will be prayed there. A light luncheon reception in the parish house awaits those who remain to pray the Rosary.

Magnifica Humanitas'
Pope Leo XIV released a sweeping statement on artificial intelligence yesterday, warning the technology could deepen inequality, erode trust, and concentrate power without clearer guardrails. The 83-page encyclical—the US-born pope's first—is one of the most authoritative forms of guidance in Catholic doctrine. Read it here: https:/www.vaticanva.com

The document, titled "Magnifica Humanitas" (Magnificent Humanity), was presented at the Vatican alongside remarks from Anthropic cofounder Christopher Olah, who stressed the need for independent oversight and broader public participation in AI governance.
