Dear Parishioners, As we celebrate this Feast of Corpus Christi, we hear the Gospel proclaimed of the loaves and the fishes. This parable gives us the reminder that Jesus in the Eucharist can address the hungers and needs of our daily lives. Though we receive Jesus here in Church this weekend, His presence is with us strengthening and guiding us throughout the week. Fr. Brandt

The beginning of Christianity is the giving. God so loves us that He gave His own Son. Jesus took bread, the simplest of foods, and He made that bread into His body. He made Himself the living Bread to satisfy our hunger for God. Mother Teresa
