Please say the Act of Spiritual Communion after the priest has received Holy Communion. “My Jesus, I believe that You Are truly 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 being already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.”
Mass Offerings
All intentions will be said by Fr David or another priest who may be covering on his behalf, at the public celebration of Mass. If you would like to offer a Mass please contact the Parish Office.
