Tonight and tomorrow night is the OLVCS production of the Wizard of Oz. As you know, we had a sneak peak yesterday afternoon, and it is fabulous! If time allows, please come and see for yourself.

Looking ahead to next week, we will have a regular schedule. Mass on Thursday, and no changes to the schedule. Whew!

The Saint Joseph’s Catholic Academy (SJCA) Administration and Board of Trustees recently announced the hiring of Coach Tod McPherson as the new Head Coach of the SJCA Girls Volleyball Team. McPherson brings over 15 years of high school volleyball coaching experience to SJCA. “I believe there was some Divine Intervention that brought me to St. Joe's in the summer of 2023,” Tod McPherson said. “God has presented me with another opportunity to use my talents to try and help the students.” For more information about the SJCA Athletic Program, go to www.stjoeacad.org.

There will be a Eucharistic Procession on the feast of Corpus Christi.

• Directly following the Saturday, June 1st anticipated 5:00pm mass.
• All first communicants are invited to wear their First Communion Attire and march with the procession.

What is Corpus Christi?

Also known as the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, this feast honors Jesus Christ, Really, Truly and Substantially Present under the appearances of bread and wine. This Presence happens through the change which the Church calls transubstantiation (“change of substance”), when at the Consecration of the Mass, the priest says the words which Christ Himself pronounced over bread and wine, “This is My Body,” “This is the chalice of My Blood,” “Do this in remembrance of Me.”
