The Mass: When Heaven Touches Earth
"What you see is the bread and the chalice; that is what your own eyes report to you. But what your faith obliges you to accept is that the bread is the body of Christ and the chalice is the blood of Christ. This has been said very briefly, which may perhaps be sufficient for faith; yet faith does not desire instruction."
~ Saint Augustine, A.D. 411
Events this week
Confessions and Eucharistic Adoration
Adoration is the worship of the Eucharist outside of the Mass. The Eucharistic Host is displayed in a monstrance on the altar so that all can see and pray in the presence of Christ.
Parish Bulletin
When God “opens our eyes, that we may consider the wonders of the law,” we begin to see its interior dimensions, the “mysterious, hidden, wisdom of God” a gift!
