In preparation for Mass, you can find the daily readings at www.usccb.org/bible/readings .

 

We are blessed to see so many of you return to Mass. This has been also reflected in our progressively declining numbers in our online viewership.  With that in mind, we will no longer record our Masses to post online.  

Since Bishop Noonan’s dispensation has been lifted effective Palm Sunday, April 10, 2022, we look forward to seeing you back at Mass celebrating in fellowship with us.

If you do not feel well or are taking care of a loved one and are unable to attend Mass at the parish, here are some resources to help you celebrate Mass. 

Catholics can make an Act of Spiritual Communion It has long been a Catholic understanding that when circumstances prevent one from receiving Holy Communion, it is possible to make an Act of Spiritual Communion which is a source of grace. Spiritual Communion means uniting one’s self in prayer with Christ’s sacrifice and worshiping Him in His Body and Blood.
The most common reason for making an Act of Spiritual Communion is when a person cannot attend Mass. Acts of Spiritual Communion increase our desire to receive sacramental Communion and help us avoid the sins that would make us unable to receive Holy Communion worthily.

An Act of Spiritual Communion
My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment 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.


Resources are available to help the faithful remain in prayer and draw near to God.
