POST COVID, “NEW NORMAL”, AND HOMEBOUND MINISTRY
Dear brothers and sisters, as we are ending the year of our Eucharistic Renewal we focus on the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist and in the Church that is His body. He makes Himself present in our midst when we gather and invoke is name. The Church is a sacramental reality, and the Sacraments are His visible and tangible pres- ence among us. Therefore, watching Mass online does not in any way come close to celebrating it, let alone participat- ing in it. Hence, in this post COVID “new normal”, beginning July 4th, we will no longer livestream our masses, and we will rebuild our homebound ministry, in order to be able to be truly present to those who for reasons of age or health (or other serious reasons) are unable to attend Mass. Hence, we ask that anyone who is unable to attend Mass in person please contact the office. We have a team of Eucharistic ministers who visit parishioners weekly. If you would like to see a priest, please let us know and we will come.
In this post COVID “new normal”, we will no longer have the 1 pm Mass, the last one will be July 3rd and afterwards invite you to attend the Saturday 5 pm, or the 8:30 am Sunday, which are less crowded than 10 or 11:30 am Masses.

June 30Blessed Carlo Acutis liked to repeat those seven words: "THE EUCHARIST IS MY HIGHWAY TO HEAVEN". From an early age, Blessed Carlo put the Eucharist at the center of his life. Since his First Communion at the age of seven, he went to Mass every day to encounter Jesus in the Eucharist. This was his rich, daily spiritual nourishment. As he died at the young age of 15, Blessed Carlo has had a great influence on the youth of our times. He has been called the first Saint of the "Millennium" Generation (1991-2006). It was fitting that following our "little" Eucharistic Miracle (April 2021) our parish would hold an exhibit of Blessed Carlo "Miracles of the Eucharist" (a display of 140 miracles throughout the entire world and put together on the Internet by young Carlo). I did not know what to expect. I had little...Read More

“Alain, I want to have pictures of your Corpus Christi Eucharistic Procession in the Catholic Standard!" Our Cardinal addresses all the priests of the Archdiocese by their first name. As we are over 200, I am always surprised that he remembers all our names. My surprise last Saturday was the Cardinal’s last-minute simple but unusual request to me as he was leaving the Sacristy of the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception on the joyful morning he had just ordained 10 new young priests. We had only a few hours before our Corpus Christi Procession. My first reaction was...Read More
