Act of Spiritual Communion
I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my
soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at
least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself
wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from you. Amen.

Thanks to all for everything that you did to make dedication
so beautiful. From your prayers and donations over the past
several months, to helping us move items from church to
church, we could not have done it without everyone’s help.
We hope that you will come to Mass, either on the week-
ends or during the week, and worship with us - please invite
your family and friends. The new church will be open
7:00am to 4:00pm, Monday thru Friday (accept July 6, the
parish office will be closed). The lower level/office area is
still being worked on, so that area is not open to the public
at this time.
We have DVD’s of the dedication on sale for $10 that you
can pick up at the parish office. On Sunday, July 5, at
2:00pm, the dedication will be televised on Channel 18
(which they told us is the same as Spectrum 7).
Besides the beauty of the new church, we now have the
capability to help the hard of hearing hear the Mass more
clearly. We have a “listening system” that you are welcome
to use. Bring your own headphones/earbuds and we will
supply the receivers. They can be found on the table under
the stain glass window by the restrooms in the gathering
area. Pick one up when you
come to Mass and return the
receiver when Mass is over.
Thank you all for everything
that you have done. We have a
beautiful church and a great
parish. We should be proud!
