Welcome to all parishioners and guests who are returning to celebrate Mass with us since the pandemic began. Your presence was missed, and we are glad that you have returned to be part of our faith community on this Feast of the Body and Blood of Christ, also known as Corpus Christi. Every time we gather for the Eucharist, we offer simple gifts of bread and wine that become Christ’s Body and Blood for all to share. These basic staples of food and drink that we bring to the altar become the flesh and blood of our Savior. His Body and Blood nourish us as we carry out His mission.
Also, this weekend if you had not noticed, we once again have Holy Water in the fonts.
Beginning this weekend, too, we will pass the baskets for the collection. Of course, you still have the option of dropping your contributions in the basket or the offertory slots in the sanctuary before or after Mass. The offertory gifts of bread and wine will once again be brought up in procession at the Offertory time of the Mass.
I will be on retreat this week, Monday, June 7 th through Friday, June 11th . Deacon Richard will have a Liturgy of the Word Prayer Service with Holy Communion in place of the 6:30 A.M. Mass.
