Eucharistic Quote of the Week (April 8)



FOOD for THOUGHT

Lord Jesus, in the sacrament of the Eucharist you give your body as my food and your blood as my drink. Deepen my awareness of your living presence as I share in the Eucharist, and help me to use every opportunity to draw closer to you.

Stephen J. Binz, author of "Eucharist" (Threshold Bible Study series)

Spaghetti Supper




Our communion class celebrated their last lesson on Monday April 2nd -- a prayer service followed by a pasta supper. Parents and teens helped decorate, prepare and serve the supper. Many thanks to them.




A special thanks to all our teachers who spent the year sharing their faith and love of the Eucharist with our children.

Eucharistic Quote of the Week (April 1)



FOOD for THOUGHT

For just as the bread which comes from the earth, having received the invocation of God, is no longer ordinary bread, but the Eucharist, consisting of two realities, earthly and heavenly, so our bodies, having received the Eucharist, are no longer corruptible, because they have the hope of resurrection.

St. Irenaeus of Lyons circa 180 AD
