On Sunday, May 31, the Church celebrates the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity, the mystery of one God in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

As we gather in worship, may we be reminded we are called into the very life of God - a communion of perfect love. Let us share that love with our families, neighbors and communities.

Blessed Trinity Sunday!

Today we celebrate the Feast of Saint Dymphna, patron saint of mental and emotional health. May her example remind us to turn to Christ in times of anxiety, grief and struggle, trusting in His peace and healing.

Come spend time with Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament at Eucharistic Adoration this Thursday, May 14, at St. Philomena Catholic Church in Monticello!

In Eucharistic Adoration, we sit in the real presence of Jesus Christ - listening, praying, resting and allowing Him to strengthen our hearts. In a busy world filled with noise and distraction, Adoration gives us sacred time to be still with the Lord who waits for us with love.

Whether you come for a few minutes or an hour, Jesus invites you! ✨ Sign up for a time slot (8 a.m.-5 p.m.): stphilomenaonline.org/adoration ✨ or 📞 call the parish office: (217) 762-2566 📞.

Also, join us for 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family Hour Adoration from 5 - 6 p.m. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 with a potluck immediately following in the Parish Hall.

Let us come before the Lord together in prayer, silence, gratitude and worship!

There is no greater gift than the Holy Eucharist 🙏.

At Daily Mass, we encounter Jesus Christ in Scripture, prayer and the Blessed Sacrament - receiving the grace, peace and strength we need for everyday life.

While Sunday Mass is our sacred obligation, Daily Mass is a beautiful opportunity to deepen our relationship with the Lord and remain rooted in His presence throughout the week.

In a busy and often stressful world, Daily Mass offers us time to pause, pray and be renewed by Christ’s love. Even one weekday Mass can transform your week.

Join us this week at St. Philomena Catholic Church:
🕊 Tuesday, May 12: 5:30 p.m.
🕊 Wednesday, May 13: 7:30 a.m.
🕊 Thursday, May 14: 7:30 a.m.
🕊 Friday, May 15: 7:30 a.m.
🕊 Saturday, May 16: 8:30 a.m.

Come spend time with the Lord and be nourished by the Eucharist.

We honor Saint Damien of Molokai, whose Feast Day was Sunday, a priest who gave his life in service to people abandoned by society.

When leprosy patients on the Hawaiian island of Molokai were isolated and forgotten, Fr. Damien chose to live among them - building homes, churches, schools and bringing the love of Christ to those who suffered most. Eventually, he contracted the disease himself and continued serving until his death.

Saint Damien reminds us holiness is found in compassion, courage and seeing the dignity of every person.

St. Damien of Molokai, pray for us 🙏💙!

📣 Please note Daily Mass on Saturday, May 2 will be at 6:30 a.m. 📣

Due to the Kirby Derby, our parking lot will be used for overflow, so Mass time has been moved earlier that morning.

Thank you for your understanding, and we hope to see you there!

Today at St. Philomena, we celebrated a beautiful Mass for the Feast of St. Joseph the Worker.

Parishioners brought forward the tools of their daily work - reminders of how God is present in every vocation and task. We also had a special blessing of vehicles and drivers, asking for safety and protection for all who travel.

Through the example of St. Joseph, we are reminded that all honest work is holy and can be offered to God.

🙏 St. Joseph the Worker, pray for us 🙏!

After Mass, we’ll also have a blessing of cars, so be sure to stand by your vehicle if you’d like it blessed.

Let’s come - together - to celebrate faith, work, and community. All are welcome!
