April is the month of the Blessed Sacrament
Even as the Easter Cycle of the Church’s Year has now begun with today’s Septuagesima Sunday we are still not yet finished with the Christmas Cycle. The Christmas Cycle will conclude this week with the celebration of Candlemas. The Christmas Cycle is marked by several major Feasts: the Nativity of Our Lord (December 25th), the Octave Day of the Nativity (January 1st), the Epiphany of Our Lord (January 6th), the Baptism of Our Lord (January 13th) and Candlemas (February 2nd).

"O GOD, Protector and Lover of the Humble, who hast bestowed upon Thy handmaid
Marie Bernarde the favor of beholding the Immaculate Virgin Mary, and of conversing
with her; grant, we beseech Thee, that walking through the simple paths of faith,
we may in the end behold Thee in Heaven." |
Parish Mission Statement
"What then is a parish? It is the smallest section of the one universal flock which has been entrusted to Peter by the Lord. Under the authority of a responsible priest who has received the care of souls from his bishop, the parish is, within the Church of Jesus Christ, the first community of Christian life; it is a community cut to human dimensions, in which the shepherd can know his flock and the flock can know their shepherd. At the heart of this area, we find the parish church with its bell-tower, its baptistery, its confessional, its altar and tabernacle, a symbol of unity and the centre of community life." - Blessed Pope Paul VI, reigned 1964-1978
