“Drive By” First Communion Candidates Blessing

On SUNDAY, MAY 31, from 10:30am – 11:30am, Fr. Brian will be outside the MAIN ENTRANCE of the Church for a “Drive-By” First Communion Candidates Blessing with the Blessed Sacrament.

In compliance with the Directives from Bishop Barres, please DO NOT exit your vehicle as you receive your blessing. As you approach the main entrance of the Church, simply stop and Fr. Brian will bless our Pep 2 students and their families with the Body and Blood of Christ in the Eucharist. Please enter by the Hunter Avenue entrance; this way everyone will be going in the same direction!

As you know we cannot receive the Eucharist as of yet, but to be blessed by the Eucharist is a powerful blessing for all of us, especially for our Pep 2 students who are anxiously awaiting the celebration of their First Communion.

Thought of the Day – May 27, 2020

United States Naval Officer, Lieutenant Gerald L. Coffee was shot down over the China Sea on February 3, 1966.  He spent seven years in various North Vietnamese prison camps, often being subjected to torture.

Every Sunday, the senior officer in each cell block would pass a secret signal for “Church Call.”  Every man would stand up in his cell and recite Psalm 23.  Coffee noted: “I realized that despite being incarcerated in this terrible place, it was my ‘cup that runneth over’ because one day, I knew I would return to a beautiful and free country.”

I am sure many of us remember watching on T.V. when our POW’s returned home from Vietnam.  After he returned home, now Commander (he had been promoted twice while imprisoned) Gerald Coffee went to Mass with his family and was warmly welcomed by the Parish priest and the parishioners.

The Pastor asked Commander Coffee to say a few words to the parishioners.  Here is what he said:

Faith was key to my survival all those
years… of course, faith in God – truly
as you know, the foundation for it all…
Our lives are a continuing journey –
and we must learn and grow at
every bend as we make our way,
sometimes stumbling, but always
moving, toward the finest within us. 

Let’s just say “AMEN” to that!
