On the Feast of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, we will pray a rosary and offer a brown scapular enrollment ceremony. Tradition has it that in 1251, Mary appeared to Saint Simon Stock. She gave him the Brown Scapular and told him, "Whosoever dies wearing this scapular shall not suffer eternal fire. It is a sign of salvation, a sure safeguard in danger, and a pledge of peace and my special protection until the end of the ages."
After all Masses, June 28-29. We are very grateful for Fr. Gustavo’s service to St. John’s the past 4 1/2 years. Please come and thank Father Gustavo and keep him in your prayers.
There will be cake after the Saturday Mass, free breakfast after 7am and 9am Sunday Masses, sandwiches after the 11am Mass, and a reception after the 1pm Spanish Mass.
Sunday, June 22. Starts at 2:15pm (after 1pm Mass). Meet in the Sanctuary. Then we will process around the block and back to the church, with Adoration along the way.
The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ (Corpus Christi in Latin), celebrates the real presence of Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist—Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity.
