May Crowning at the Shrine 2016
May 1, 2016May is the month of Mary, and one way to celebrate it is with the Procession and Crowning of the Image of the Virgin Mary. This was held Sunday, May 1, after the 10 a.m. Mass. Fr. Tom Eichenberger, along with First Communicants, their families and other parishioners, processed from the plaza bell tower to the Shrine to Mary on the parish grounds. At the shrine, they sang the litany of Mary. Two children – one from Catholic school and one from Christian Formation – crowned the statue of Mary. Click to view gallery.
Eucharistic Procession

June 14, 2020
On June 14, the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ (Corpus Christi), our
pastor Father Patrick Burns, preceded by servers and Fr. John Burns, led parishioners in a Eucharistic Procession at the end of the 10 a.m. Mass. Many participated on this beautiful day, following Fr. Patrick with the monstrance from the church across and around our parish grounds. They paused to kneel and pray in a grassy area along Hwy NN. The procession continued back into the church where the Eucharist was then reposed. Having a Eucharistic Procession is a beautiful tradition of the Catholic Church, which deepens our devotion to the Eucharist and is a public witness to our faith in the Real Presence.

Holy Thursday 2019

April 18, 2019

Holy Thursday is the day that Catholics commemorate the three pillars of their faith: the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist, the priesthood, and the Mass. Father Patrick Burns presided at the Holy Thursday Mass of the Last Supper, held at 7 p.m. This was the beginning of the Easter Triduum celebration. The washing of the feet, symbolic of Jesus washing the feet of the apostles, is an important element of Holy Thursday. At the conclusion of the liturgy, the congregation processed to the lower church for prayer and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.
