Happy Father’s Day to all. Today is the Feast of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, which is the patronal feast of the parish, now named Precious Blood Parish. The Body and Blood of Christ is the central focus of our worship, and the source and summit of our parish life. This coming year there will be renewed focus on the meaning and importance of Eucharist in our lives. May we all strive to become persons who act because the Eucharist is the center of our lives. Please make every effort to join us in person, our worship is enhanced by your presence, our worship is best expressed when we are together.
