We may pray this Act of Spiritual Communion when we are not able

to be physically present at Mass:

My Jesus, I believe that you are 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 if you were already there and unite myself.

If wholly to you. Never permit me to be separated from you. Amen

A message to parents whose children were prepared to celebrate First Communion or Confirmation in the Spring of 2020:

Thank you for your patience as we continue to wait for an appropriate time to celebrate the Sacraments of Eucharist and Confirmation with your children in a manner that ensures the safety of everyone. You will receive timely instructions once we are able to do so through the contact information we have on file. If your contact information changes, please be sure to notify Gregory Beath of any updates.

In the meantime, continue to keep the Lord’s Day by using the online “Worship @ Home” resource from Growing Up Catholic. Here is the link to each Sunday’s family prayer:

 Worship@Home (pastoral.center)

Greg will continue to stay in contact with you from time to time with resources to support your family’s faith. If you have any questions, please contact him directly via e-mail.
