June 7:
Corpus Christi
⁣..He took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them, and said,
“Take it; this is my body.”
Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them...
He said to them,
“This is my blood of the covenant,
which will be shed for many.”

Archbishop’s Day for Educators⁣
Reclaiming in Christ: our Hope, our Light, and our Joy⁣
Theme 2026: WITNESS⁣
Each year, this special gathering unites Catholic school administrators, principals, teachers, and Directors and Coordinators of Religious Education for a day of faith, fellowship, and renewal.⁣
In 2026, we are invited to reflect on what it means to witness—to live our faith with authenticity, to share Christ’s light with others, and to be renewed in our mission as educators and catechetical leaders.⁣
Through prayer, shared worship, meaningful conversations, and inspired action, this day offers a powerful opportunity to reconnect with our purpose and one another.⁣
Come be renewed. Come be inspired. Come be a witness.⁣

Overnight Retreat Opportunity ⁣
Satisfying the Hungers of Our Hearts⁣
📅 May 27–28, 2026⁣
In the midst of the demands of parish ministry, it’s easy to feel spiritually drained. This overnight retreat is an invitation to step away, rest, and be renewed in Christ.⁣
✨ Led by Rev. Thomas Viviano⁣
Together, we will reflect on the deepest longings of the human heart:⁣
• The hunger for God⁣
• The hunger for Truth⁣
• The hunger for Love⁣
• The hunger to be challenged⁣
Come and rediscover how these profound hungers are truly satisfied in Christ, and return to your ministry refreshed and strengthened.⁣
Take this time for prayer, reflection, and renewal.⁣

Jesus promised St. Margaret Mary Alacoque that those who complete the 9 First Fridays (Confession, Eucharist, acts of reparation for offenses against the Sacred Heart) would receive the grace of final perseverance—not dying in His disgrace nor without receiving the sacraments.
