The following is the prayer for making spiritual communion:

My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things and I desire to receive you into my soul. Since I cannot now 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.

5/10/22 - Mark you calendars JUNE 24th!!
The Diocese of Burlington will once again be participating in a worldwide Rosary Relay led by Bishop Coyne at the Cathedral of St. Joseph in Burlington on June 24th at 4:00pm.  
 
In 2002 Pope John Paul II announced the Annual World Day of Prayer for the Sanctification of Priests to be held on the Feast of the Sacred Heart. The first global Rosary relay was launched in 2009 and has been an annual event since. This relay serves as a gift from the laity to our wonderful priests to show our love and appreciation.
 
Beginning at midnight on Friday, June 24th, various locations from over 100 different countries will start praying the Rosary at every half hour, passing it along to the next location until finally the entire world will be encircled in the Rosary just before midnight of the next day.



5/9/22 -TIME CHANGE - Bible Study for this Thursday (5/12) is at 3:30PM.

4/26/22 - Online Survey - Reminder - Bishop Coyne has posted a survey on the Diocesan website so that Catholics throughout the State can give their experience and ideas on how the Church communicates the Gospel message.  Visit www.vermontcatholic.org

The survey results will be tallied and sent to the Pope.

4/18/22 - Thank you to all those parishioners who supported the CARENET Pregnancy Care Center during Lent by taking home baby bottles and filling with spare change, dollars and even checks.  The parish is now collecting the filled bottles to return to CARENET.  Please return your bottles to the Rectory.

3/12/22 - Father Jude Project- Thank You!
Fr. Jude is most appreciative to everyone who participated in his project last year.  There were 126 students sponsored for tuition, school supplies, and lunch.  The extra money received was used to build new desks for the students.

This year, we hope to continue to have all of the 126 students sponsored.  Any extra money will be used to buy pigs and chickens.  These animals are raised and sold to help finance school activities.  There is also a need to purchase water collection tanks to catch rainwater for drinking.
