It is a generally accepted belief that God, because He is a Spirit, cannot be seen by people. Yet, one of the Doctors of our Church says that because God cannot be seen, He allows Himself to be seen, and through that sight, He gives life. Is this a contradiction? Can you see God? Are you dead without seeing Him? To answer these questions, the Parish is having a series of mini-workshops/retreats on August 7, 14, 21 from 10-12 and August 28th time TBD. Registration is open and you can register on our website in the News & Events Tab, in the Atrium of the Parish Life Center or call the Parish Office. We hope you can join us!Read More

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. -
