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.

Tuesdays Reflections
by Deacon TranWeekly Reflections from Deacon Tran
5/13/25 -Hello everyone,May is the Month of Mary. For centuries, the Catholic Church has dedicated the entire month of Mary to honor Mary, Mother of God.
One of the most popular ways to honor our Blessed Mother is by praying the Rosary. Pope Leo XIII is often referred to as the Rosary Pope because he dedicated his pontificate to promote the Rosary, issuing twelve encyclicals on its importance.
In the Adiutricem – On the Rosary (1895), Pope Leo XIII wrote about Mary:
“The mightiest helper of the Christian people, and the most merciful, is the Virgin Mother of God. How fitting it is to accord her honors ever increasing in splendor and call upon her aid with a confidence daily growing more ardent. The abundant blessings, infinitely varied and constantly multiplying, which flow from her all over the whole world for the common benefit of mankind, add fresh motives for invoking and honoring her.”
And he wrote about the Rosary:
“It is specially deserving of notice, and it gives Us the greatest pleasure to recall, that of all the forms of devotion to the Blessed Virgin, that most excellent method of prayer, Mary’s Rosary, is establishing itself most widely in popular esteem and practice. This, We repeat, is a source of great joy to Us. If We have spent so large a share of our activities, in promoting the Rosary devotion, We can easily see with what benevolence the Queen of Heaven has come to Our aid when We prayed to her; and We express the confident conviction that she will continue to stand at Our side to lighten the burdens and the afflictions which the days to come will bring.”
I encourage everyone to spend some time this month to pray with our Blessed Virgin Mary, especially by praying the Rosary.
4/29/25 - My dear friends,
The conclave to elect the new pope will begin on May 7th.
So, from now until the cardinals elect the new pope, I would like to invite you to pray this prayer for the Election of a New Pope. It is excerpted from the Roman Missal.
"O God, eternal shepherd,
who govern your flock with unfailing care,
grant in your boundless fatherly love
a pastor for your Church
who will please you by his holiness
and to us show watchful care.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever. Amen."
Thank you,
Deacon Luan Tran

Deacon Luan Tran2/18/25 - WELCOME DEACON TRAN!
Hello, Dear Friends,
This is Deacon Luan Tran. I’m thrilled to announce that starting next week, I’ll be sharing a weekly reflection every Tuesday on our parish website and parish Facebook page. These reflections will cover a variety of topics, including Liturgical seasons, notable Saints, theological and moral themes, insightful books and articles, and special events within our community.
My hope is that this initiative will offer us a chance to stay connected, deepen our understanding, and support one another as we grow in our prayer life together.
Stay tuned, and I look forward to this journey with you all!
