A MESSAGE
FROM FR. RICH
Today’s special feast of Corpus Christi is one of the
most special “Catholic” Feast Days celebrating and thanking God for ‘source and
summit’ of our faith: the Eucharist! Amen!
we say to the actual Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus - may we never take for
granted this gift of our faith but grow in the richness of who we are as
Catholics and becoming Eucharist in our daily lives. It doesn’t seem I could
emphasize more how special this gift is and what it truly means, but I pray all
Catholics revere the awesome presence of Christ and grow in the holiness of our
faith. Enjoy your week! Fr. Rich
WE WELCOME
NEWCOMERS TO PARISHES!! | Check the New
Parishioners Page

having an abortion, said they wish they would have been given more information,
90% of post-abortive women said knowing what they know now, they would not have
had an abortion?” Our 2nd

$687.00 for this worthwhile cause. We will continue this collection on each
month’s first Sunday. Thank you for your care and support!

Do It Anyway
People are often unreasonable, illogical
and self-centered; forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; be kind
anyway
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; be honest and frank anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; give the world the
best you have anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; it was never between
you and them anyway.
- Mother Teresa
