Holy Day of the ASCENSION
THURSDAY May 13:
We will celebrate Mass for the Ascension on Wednesday, May 12 at 5:30pm (the normal Wednesday Mass time) and on Thursday, May 13 at 9am (with our school students), 12 noon and 7pm.
MAIN ALTAR CANDLES:
You might have noticed that the 4 candles at the altar and the 2 near the high altar look a little different than they used to. Recently we transitioned from plastic candles with an oil-based liner to real beeswax candles.
Read the Bulletin for for the rest of the story of the “why"!
"THE VEIL REMOVED"
Our Dear Friends, As the Gifts are brought up and placed on the Altar, view how our gifts are transformed into the very Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Christ!
When this video was shown in a recent parish study there was not a dry eye after viewing.
The Veil Removed is a 5 min video that reveals the coming together of heaven and earth at Mass.
Please view it, it will impact you deeply!
