NOTE: Fr. Terry will be out of town next week. We will have communion services on May 17th, 18th, 24th & 25th.

Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament

First Friday of every month: 9 am – 6pm. Church will be open for private prayer during this time.

Adoration for April will be on April 13th.

The common theme of today’s readings is building up the Church through Christ and love for one another. In St. John’s Gospel, Jesus states, I am the vine, you are the branches. In this imagery, Jesus is the vine giving the gifts of life and salvation to His disciples, the branches. In turn, we are encouraged to follow His commands and to live in Him. We do this through regular participation in His Eucharistic banquet. As faithful stewards in Christ, we will bear “good fruit” for God’s kingdom.
