Longest Marian Pilgrimage in the United States!

In commemoration of the bicentennial, our Archdiocese is doing a 33 day walking Marian pilgrimage which began up north at Russells Point on May 16. It will crisscross its way throughout the entire archdiocese, and will finish at the Cathedral on June 19. Along the way, pilgrims are carrying a statute of Our Lady of Fatima over 300 miles and stoping at more than 36 parishes. For more information about the pilgrimage go to https://200.catholicaoc.org/marian-pilgrimage

Our tabernacle has been beautifully restored. The doors on the tabernacle were repaired and the whole tabernacle was cleaned and refurbished. The word “tabernacle” means dwelling place. Just as God dwelt with the Israelites in the desert, so too in the Eucharist, God dwells with His people and remains waiting for us to visit Him and to adore Him. Recognizing His Presence is also important. It is for this reason, that a candle is kept burning, acknowledging His Presence. For this reason, we should always, if we are physically able, genuflect in the Presence of our King whenever we pass in front of the tabernacle or enter into or exit from our pew. For this same reason, we maintain a reverential silence in church, acknowledging that God is with us.

Fruits of the #igivecatholic Campaign

You will notice upon entering church that a new tabernacle (temporary) is on the altar! Thanks to the gifts given for the #igivecatholic campaign in December, St. Ignatius of Loyola’s tabernacle is in the process of being restored! It was removed this past week, and will return in 4-8 weeks. Thank you for giving so generously to the #igivecatholic campaign on Giving Tuesday.
