Yesterday for the Feast of Corpus Christi, we joined the Eucharistic procession with Fr. Roman and Holy Childhood Parish through the streets of Harbor Springs. What a beautiful testament to our Eucharistic Lord.

Jesus is truly present, body, blood, soul and divinity in the Eucharist.

Ánima Christi

Soul of Christ, sanctify me.
Body of Christ, save me.
Blood of Christ, inebriate me.
Water from the side of Christ, wash me.
Passion of Christ, strengthen me.
O good Jesus, hear me.
Within Thy wounds, hide me.
Permit me not to be separated from Thee.
Defend me from the wicked enemy.
In the hour of my death, call me,
and bid me come to Thee,
that with Thy saints I may praise Thee,
forever and ever. Amen

Happy New Year and Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God!!!

After Mass this morning at Holy Childhood of Jesus Parish in Harbor Springs, our beautiful statue of the Immaculate Heart of Mary was processed around the church in honor of this great feast day of Our Lady.

We feel so very blessed that Fr. Roman asked to use our carrier and statue for such a wonderful procession.

May you and your family receive all the blessings and graces that Our Lord and Our Lady have for you this year and always.

This is such a beautiful tribuye to Our Lady of Guadalupe!

¡Viva la Virgen de Guadalupe! ❤️

Every year on December 11, volunteers in Mexico City create a massive alfombra floral—a floral carpet made of tens of thousands of roses, carnations, chrysanthemums, and marigolds—forming a giant image of Our Lady of Guadalupe in the basilica plaza.

It’s displayed through the night as millions of pilgrims arrive to celebrate her feast.
