CATHOLIC COMMUNICATION CAMPAIGN Today, we will take up the Collection for the Catholic Communication Campaign (CCC). This Collection communicates the Gospel through Catholic social media activities and enriches our faith through Internet, television, radio, and print media. Please be generous in this week s Collection and support this important work. Remember, half of your donation stays in our diocese to support our communication needs. The CCC equips us to share our experience of faith, worship, and witness with the world. To learn more about the important work supported by the Collection for CCC, please visit Immediately after the noon mass on June 22, the Corpus Christi procession with the Blessed Sacrament will stop for adoration at the home of two parishioners on Beech street before ending at the grotto with solemn benediction. Everyone is invited to participate. We are extending a special invitation to all children who received their First Holy Communion on May 3. This is an excellent occasion for them to recall this great mystery of faith. They will walk immediately before the Blessed Sacrament since a special function is reserved for them during the procession. The Feast of Corpus Christi, or the Feast of the Body and Blood of Christ (as it is often called today), goes back to the 13th century, but it celebrates something far older: the institution of the Sacrament of Holy Communion at the Last Supper. PLEASE NOTE: THERE WILL BE NO LIFE TEEN MASS ON JUNE 22. SUMMER OFFICE HOURS for July and August Monday -Friday 8-12 AM & 1-4 PM There will be no evening hours. They will resume in September.
