NO LATIN MASS THIS WEEK

Mass on June 22nd (the External Solemnity of Corpus Christi) will begin at 1:30pm followed by a procession with the Blessed Sacrament. Confessions will not be heard this day. You are invited to Join His Excellency, Bishop James Johnston for Mass and the procession. There will be a reception at the Catholic Center immediately following the procession.

Friday, June 27, 2014 is the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Mass will be followed by adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and benediction. A plenary indulgence may be gained by saying the Act of Reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus publicly in front of the Blessed Sacrament on this day.

The Blessed Sacrament offers us intimate union with Jesus Christ. Our becoming one with Christ is fostered by the grace we receive through all the sacraments, but especially through the sacrament of the Eucharist. In the Eucharist we receive not just grace, but the very Author of grace. We receive the very Body and Blood of Jesus Christ! Through this reception we share in the divine life of Jesus Christ. We must communicate in a state of grace and desire to advance in His love.

In Christ,

Father Jeffery A. Fasching

The Feast of the Sacred Heart is an invitation for us to honor the infinite love Jesus Christ shows us in the Blessed Sacrament of the Altar. His Sacred Heart symbolizes the immense love He has for each one of us. Christ’s love induced Him not only to suffer and die for our redemption, but to also institute the Sacrament of His Body and Blood.

“Behold this Heart, which, notwithstanding the burning love for man with which it is consumed and exhausted, meets with no other return from the generality of Christians than sacrilege, contempt, indifference, and ingratitude.”

We must repent from our past indifference and sins. Let us begin today by honoring Christ’s Sacred Heart. Let us make reparation for all the insults He suffers in the Sacrament of His love. Let us make ourselves among His adorers and renew our devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

In Christ,

Father Jeffery Fasching

June 2, 2013 External Solemnity of Corpus Christi

Epistle: I Cor. 11: 23-29—Gospel: Jn. 6: 56-59

“May our Lord Jesus Christ in the Most Blessed Sacrament be praised, adored, and loved, with grateful affection, at every moment, in all the tabernacles of the world, even to the end of time!”
“O Sacrament most holy! O Sacrament divine! All praise and all thanksgiving be every moment Thine!”

On the Feast of Corpus Christi we are reminded of our duty to worship and glorify Jesus Christ and His true presence in the Blessed Sacrament. Our lives must be such as to bring other souls to Jesus Christ! We must take advantage of every available opportunity to adore Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Blessed Sacrament of the Altar.

Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament will take place from 12:30pm until 1:30pm at Saint Agnes Cathedral on Sunday, June 2. Confessions will be heard from 1:45pm until 2:15pm and immediately following Mass and Benediction until all confession are heard.

Friday, June 7, 2013 is the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. A plenary indulgence may be gained by saying the Act of Reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus publicly in front of the Blessed Sacrament on this day.

March 3rd, 2013 Third Sunday of Lent

Epistle: Eph. 5: 1-9; Gospel: Lk. 11: 14-28

Mass schedule March 4th through March 8th

Monday—Feria of Lent-NO LATIN MASS

Tuesday—Feria of Lent

Wednesday—Feria of Lent

Thursday—Feria of Lent

Friday—Feria of Lent

During the Fridays of Lent following the 12:15pm Mass, there will be Stations of the Cross with Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament and Benediction.

On each of the Fridays of Lent, a plenary indulgence is granted to the faithful who, after Communion, recite the “Prayer before a Crucifix.”

Christ gave His life of His own free will. He died out of love for you and me. He came to show His infinite love and He thus gave His all. He submitted to His Passion and lived a life of self-denial to give us an example of how we are to live. Despite His sufferings, He must have experienced joy in knowing He was saving mankind.

If we embrace Christ’s lifestyle we will be able to resist the corruption of a paganized society. Immorality, fornication and impurity run rampant all around us. No matter what the world succumbs to we should always resist these evils because we are called to holiness of life. We are temples of the Holy Ghost. We have been purchased at a great price!

We must therefore strive to live with modesty and refinement. We must keep watch over our senses and hearts. We must avoid all occasions of sin. We should frequent the sacraments, especially Confession and Holy Communion. We should foster a tender devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary and beg for contrition and reparation.

In Christ,
Father Jeff Fasching
