🙏 We Need Altar Servers! 🙏

Do you have a child in 3rd grade or older looking for a meaningful way to serve at Mass? We are in serious need of altar servers — especially for our 4:00pm and 5:00pm Masses.

Serving at the altar is a beautiful opportunity for young people to grow in confidence, responsibility, and faith while taking an active role in the liturgy. No experience is necessary — training will be provided!

If your child is interested in becoming an altar server, please contact the parish office or speak with us after Mass. We would love to welcome new servers to this important ministry! ✨

Today's Gospel, according to John:

Jesus said to the Jewish crowds:
"I am the living bread that came down from heaven;
whoever eats this bread will live forever;
and the bread that I will give
is my flesh for the life of the world."

The Jews quarreled among themselves, saying,
"How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"
Jesus said to them,
"Amen, amen, I say to you,
unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood,
you do not have life within you.
Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood
has eternal life,
and I will raise him on the last day.
For my flesh is true food,
and my blood is true drink.
Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood
remains in me and I in him.
Just as the living Father sent me
and I have life because of the Father,
so also the one who feeds on me
will have life because of me.
This is the bread that came down from heaven.
Unlike your ancestors who ate and still died,
whoever eats this bread will live forever."
