MASSES AND OTHER DEVOTIONS
The most important thing we do as Catholics is gather for the celebration of Sunday Mass. We come together on Sunday. Sunday was the first day of creation, the day on which God created the light that broke the darkness. Easter Sunday was the day when Jesus, the Light of the World, shattered the darkness of the tomb and rose to life. Pentecost Sunday was the day the Spirit rushed upon the Apostles and drove them beyond their fears to proclaim the Good News. Each Sunday that same Spirit assembles us as God’s Church to hear the Word and to share the Bread and Cup of Life. That same Spirit sends us out from Mass to continue the mission of Jesus Christ by loving and serving the Lord and our neighbor. We invite you to join us as we come together for Sunday Mass. By doing so, you will grow in your relationship with Christ and His Church and we will benefit by having you with us!

As a parish community we mourn the death of Pope Francis together with the Universal Church and pray for the repose of his soul and consolation of his family, friends, and indeed us, the faithful. We give thanks for his steadfast witness to God’s love and mercy in the world. May he be welcomed into the everlasting joy of Heaven with the Risen Jesus.
All are invited to our Divine Mercy Holy Hour this Sunday (4/27) at 2pm in Mary’s Chapel where we will pray the Rosary for Pope Francis as we mourn his passing. Please also join us for a Mass for the repose of the soul of Pope Francis on Monday, April 28th at 7pm in the Upper Church.
BLESSED EASTER SEASON TO YOU!
BULLETIN
To advertise in the bulletin, reach out to Jay Schwarz at LPi:
MASS INTENTIONS
The 2026 Mass book will open on Thursday, January 23rd at 9am. This past year, our Mass book filled up quickly, and we were not able to accept any more Mass intentions at a relatively early time. In order to mitigate this and allow people to request specific Masses even throughout the year, we have reduced the number of Masses to request when the Mass book opens to 3 per family for the first 6 months. We will then look at the availability of masses and possibly reopen the book. Thank you for your understanding as we strive to keep Mass times available to everyone throughout the year. Mass intentions forms will be available in the church or in the Rectory Office.
Prayer of Spiritual Communion:
My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the most Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there, and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.
