The Children’s Liturgy of the Word is an invitation for all children ages 5-8 years old to gather together to hear and learn about
God’s Word during our 9:30am Mass. We are now taking a Summer Break. Format when it resumes: Leaders will read the
Sunday Gospel and discuss its meaning and provide a handout from Holy Heroes to take home—check out their website for
free Mass prep info this summer, that is ready to look at on Fridays before the upcoming Sunday Mass. It’s sent to your email. (www.holyheroes.com) When CLOW resumes, the Presider will call forth the 2 leaders and the children before the Liturgy of the Word begins and the children will return to Mass during the Profession of Faith. A parent may accompany your child if they are a bit shy about attending.

A new documentary feature film JESUS THIRSTS: THE MIRACLE OF THE EUCHARIST is coming to U.S. movie theaters nationwide June 4, 5, and 6. The film, co-sponsored by the Diocese of Orange, is a project led by executive producer Deacon Steve Greco and producers James Wahlberg and Tim Moriarty. In Jesus Thirsts: The Miracle of the Eucharist, we embark on a global journey to rediscover and revive the transformative power of the Eucharist. Engaging in dialogue with notable Catholic figures as Dr. Scott Hahn, Fr. Robert Spitzer, The Marian Fathers, Curtis Martin, the Sisters of Life, Chris Stefanick, Sr. Briege McKenna and Dan DeMatte, the film explores the biblical origins of the Eucharist and shares personal stories of individuals whose lives have been transformed by the Blessed Sacrament. This exploration makes it unmistakably clear that the Eucharist is not merely a symbol, but is indeed Jesus Christ Himself — fervently desiring to quench our spiritual thirst with His boundless love. The universality of our faith as One Body of Christ is very much reflected with the many diverse storylines from Poland, Italy, Africa, Bosnia, and Vietnam. The film includes prominent Spanish voices including Mexican actor and pro-life activist Eduardo Verástegui; Cuban-American filmmaker and philanthropist Oscar Delgado; and Noel Díaz, the founder of El Sembrador Ministries.
