Please join us in welcoming Deacon Gabriel Nugent to the Basilica Shrine of Saint Mary for his summer internship!

We are grateful for the opportunity to accompany Deacon Gabriel during this important time of formation as he prepares for priestly ministry. Throughout the summer, he will be serving alongside our parish community in prayer, worship, pastoral care, and parish life.

We invite you to introduce yourself, make him feel at home, and keep him in your prayers as he continues his journey toward the priesthood.

Welcome, Deacon Gabriel! We are blessed to have you with us this summer.

Today we celebrate the Solemnity of Corpus Christi, the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ.

In the Blessed Sacrament, Christ remains truly present with His Church, nourishing us with His Body and Blood and drawing us deeper into communion with Him.

For this most blessed Feast Day, at the 1pm Spanish Mass, we will have a Eucharistic Procession followed by adoration.

Join us today as we give thanks to God for his most precious gifts.

June is dedicated in a special way to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, a powerful devotion that invites us to draw closer to the boundless love, mercy, and compassion of Christ.

Beginning today, the Catholic Church in the United States joins in a nine-day Novena to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, culminating on June 11, 2026, when the U.S. bishops will consecrate our nation to the Heart of Christ as part of the commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

On this Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity, we adore the mystery at the heart of our faith. One God, eternally revealed as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.

Help Preserve St. Mary School History

Sixth grader Trace Tyson researched and documented the history of the St. Mary School Tileston Gym as part of an effort to secure a historic plaque recognizing this important part of our school’s heritage.

We are raising the final $500 needed to complete the plaque process. Every contribution—large or small—helps preserve this story for future students and families.

Thank you for supporting St. Mary School commitment to preserving local history.
