Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
I am happy to announce that we are now entering Phase 2 of the plan to bring us safely back to communion and community! Public Masses with Moderate Limits on Public Gatherings and Moderate Social Distancing, will begin Corpus Christi weekend, June 13-14, 2020.
The Feast of Corpus Christi - also known as the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ - celebrates the Real Presence of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist. Our identity as Catholics and our identity as a parish, are wrapped up in the truth of the Most Blessed Sacrament - that the Bread and Wine becomes Jesus’ Body and Blood and is given to us to consume so that Jesus may dwell in us and we in Him. This year our parish feast day will be a source of double blessing as we begin our return to the Eucharist - the source and summit of our Christian life - to worship as the Body of Christ.

Please review the “Phase 2: Re-Connecting to Inspire" flyer for more detailed information.
