Dear NLRCA and St. Mary’s Family,
It is with deep sadness and hope in eternal life that I share the passing of one of our cherished 8th grade students. Our hearts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time, and I kindly ask for your respect for their privacy.

Virtual gatherings cannot replace the celebration of the Eucharist!

VATICAN CITY — Pope Leo XIV has urged Catholics to prioritize attending Sunday Mass, warning that active participation in the Eucharist cannot be replaced by virtual gatherings.

“I urge everyone to seek the best possible conditions so that even those who are unable to take time off work on Sundays may take part in holy Mass,” Leo said.

In his address during his general audience at the Vatican on Aug. 12, the pontiff continued his catechesis on the Second Vatican Council’s constitution on the liturgy, Sacrosanctum Concilium.
