SPIRITUAL COMMUNION

PRAYER

My Jesus, I believe that you are present

in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love you

above all things and I desire to receive

you in 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.

RESPONSE TO COVID-19 PANDEMIC

Archbishop Vigneron has announced the gradual re-

turn to Mass for all Parishes beginning May 19th.

All other events have been suspended at the directive

of the Archdiocese of Detroit and the Governor’s

“Shelter in Place.”

The parish office is closed until further notice. How-

ever, the voicemail and the email are checked on a reg-

ular basis so please feel free to leave a message.

The church is open for personal prayer every Tuesday

and Thursday from 10:00 am until 3:00 pm and every

Sunday from 10:00 am until 4:00 pm. Please remem-

ber to practice social distancing.

Our parish continues to need your support in order to

pay our bills and maintain the parish buildings. We

ask that, to the best of your ability, you continue to

make your weekly offertory donations, either by mail

or, if you are coming to church for private prayer or

for Mass, you can drop your envelope in the basket

that is provided for this purpose in the church.

FROM THE DESK OF FR. STEVE

Today we celebrate the glorious feast of Corpus Christi. Corpus Christi literally translated means

Body of Christ. Here in the United States we even

have a city in Texas named after the Body of Christ,

i.e. the Eucharist. What a blessed feast for us to mark

as Catholics.

Many of us made our first communion long ago as

children, and then watched our own kids and grand-children celebrate their “big day” of receiving Jesus’

Flesh for the first time. I often marvel on those days

of First Communion; I love the expression on the

children’s faces. They are in awe; they approach with

trepidation and some are even trembling. It is often

apropos, and somewhat cliché, for the priest in his

homily on that day to challenge the kids and their parents to bring them back to church the following

week to make their “second communion.”

But this idea of “second communion” got me think-

ing this week as I prepared for this Solemn Feast

Day. There is this old adage that is often posted in

Church Sacristies (where the priest vests for Holy Mass). There often is a sign up on the wall that says:

“Priest of God: celebrate this Mass as if it were your

first Mass, your only Mass, your last Mass!”

Today as we approach the Sacred Altar of God,

where Calvary is made present before us, where God

Himself becomes present and wishes for us to feed

on Him, let’s approach like little children making our first communion. “Oh children of God: receive this

Holy Eucharist as if it were for the first time, your

only time, for the final time!”

Happy Corpus Christi! May Our Lord dispense many

Graces upon you this day!

In the Heart of Jesus and Mary,

Fr. Steve

S t e w a r d s h i p — F a i t h F o r m a t i o n Congratulations to the Class of 2020!!!

We are so proud of you!

My name is Alaina Carroll and I am proudly a graduate of the Armada High School class of 2020. Throughout my high school years cross country and track became my passion. Another huge portion of my time was put towards the Junior Leadership Macomb program I was selected for. I participated in a lot of community service events and activities and dedicated a lot of my time to this service organization. This upcoming fall I am attending Saginaw Valley State University. I will be majoring in early childhood education to get my bachelors degree. I will also be running on the cross country and track teams at Sagi-naw Valley. After college my goal is to become a teacher and hopefully have the opportunity to become a high school cross country and track coach.
