Daily Reflection
Saint of the Day
St. Frances Xavier Cabrini
Frail and once refused by religious orders, Mother Cabrini founded her own and crossed the ocean to serve poor Italian immigrants in America. She built hospitals, schools, and orphanages city after city, undaunted by obstacles. She became the first United States citizen to be canonized. She is patron of immigrants.
“I will go anywhere and do anything in order to communicate the love of Jesus.”
Bible Verse of the Day
“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment. A second likewise is this, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."”
Matthew 22:37-39
III.
First Time?
You're welcome here.
Here are a few things we tell everyone before their first Sunday, so nothing feels unfamiliar.
- Can I receive Communion?
- Holy Communion is for Catholics in a state of grace who are prepared to receive it, but you are welcome to come forward with your arms crossed for a blessing, or simply stay in your pew and pray with us.
- How do I become Catholic?
- The first step towards becoming a Catholic starts with a meeting with our priest. Please call the front office or go in person to schedule a meeting.
- What should I wear?
- There is no strict dress code for attending Mass, but we encourage you to dress respectfully, as the Holy Mass is a time of sacred worship.
- I'm bringing kids.
- Please do. Little ones are always welcome. The Kenny Room, located to the right of the main entrance, is available if you fear that they will be disruptive.
