 FORTY
HOURS DEVOTIONAs Catholic Christians we believe that Jesus is uniquely present to us in the Eucharist, the actual Body and Blood of Christ. This is our Faith; it goes back to apostolic times. During the Eucharistic prayer at Mass, we believe that the bread and wine become the Real Presence of Christ. Outside of Mass, the consecrated Host is known as the Abiding Presence. The Blessed Sacrament, as the Abiding Presence, is placed in a monstrance during extended exposition such as during our Forty Hours Devotion. |
| THE EDUCATIONAL TASK FORCE will again sponsor a spring plant and flower sale. Watch future bulletins for more information and an order form. |
