Holy Family had a Children's Mass yesterday. The children sang a song called "Jerusalem Is My Home". It reminds us that we are journeying towards our eternal home with God. On this Feast of Corpus Christi, we celebrate that Jesus walks with us on that journey. In the Eucharist, He gives us His very self—His Body and Blood—to strengthen, guide, and sustain us. Each time we receive Holy Communion, we are given a glimpse of the heavenly feast that awaits us in the New Jerusalem. As we sing of our heavenly home, let us remember that Christ is already among us, feeding us and leading us there.

The Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion (EMHCs) of our Parish were commissioned at Holy Mass today.

We ask God to bless them with reverence, humility, and a deep awareness of their sacred mission. 🙏

Lord Jesus,
with your instructions to follow the man with the pitcher of water,
you make me understand that I am to follow in the footsteps of those who seriously live their baptism:
help me imitate those who aim high in life.

Lord Jesus,
by inviting me to the upper room,
you ask me to abandon a flat way of life:
help me be carried away with the desires you place in my heart.

Lord Jesus,
by giving me bread and wine, Your Body and Your Blood,
you teach me that life is either a gift, or it is not life:
nourished by You, help me to make my life an offering pleasing to the Father.

Lord Jesus,
in gathering your disciples around the table,
you teach me that there is no Eucharist without the community,
and there is no community without service.
Help me to make my life a Eucharistic life.
(Prayer by Father Andrea Vena) from VaticanNews.va

Prayer for the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ, Corpus Christi🙏

Holy Family Church's Garden of Remembrance was blessed today by Father Nkululeko after the 10h00 Mass. Uncle Leon Erntzen and John Graayenstein's ashes were interred there as well.

May their souls and the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace 🙏.

The Most Holy Trinity is the central mystery of our faith: one God existing in three coeternal, consubstantial, and distinct divine persons:
God the Father,
God the Son (Jesus Christ),
and God the Holy Spirit.

Wishing all a blessed Trinity Sunday 🙏
