Prayer 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.

Homily for NOVEMber 12, 2023

News and Events

Being Disciples and Making Disciples
The 2024 Annual Stewardship. Being disciples of Christ carries with it responsibility, for disciple does not merely describe who we are, it describes what we do. Discipleship, therefore, engenders a response. One critical response is to spread the Good News of Christ: making disciples. And the bridge between being disciples and making disciples is stewardship.
