St. Faustina Weekly Update
Happy Friday! This weekend, we are celebrating over 50 First Communions throughout the weekend Masses and are excited for these children and their families. We have put a limit on the amount of guests they can bring so that we can maintain our 25% limit at the Masses, but we are live streaming each of the Masses so those who cannot attend can watch their loved one receive this great sacrament. For those who wish to join us this weekend, please make sure you click our Eventbrite link to make your reservation. We continue to see more of our parishioners coming back to Mass, and expect to hit our 25% limit at a few of the Masses this weekend. Please don't delay with your reservation. For your convenience, we have included an electronic version of our Bulletin, along with a link to download a worship aid with lyrics for the weekend.

Reflection on Sunday's Readings
When we receive Holy Communion, we hear the words, “This is my Body” and “This is my Blood,” to which we dutifully answer, “Amen.” But have you ever considered exactly what those words mean? Enjoy this reflection through our free account with Formed.org.
1st Reading - Deuteronomy 8:2-3, 14-16
2nd Reading - 1 Corinthians 10:16-17
Gospel - John 6:51-58
Parish Survey
We are inviting our parish community to take two minutes and fill out a new parish survey that will help our task force, especially as we continue our reopening process. Please click the link above to take this brief survey, and offer your honest feedback.

VBS 2020
July 6-10
Friends, while we would love to offer Vacation Bible School on campus this summer, the current pandemic and present conditions will prevent us from offering this great event at the parish. Our team has been working on alternatives for the last few months that will allow you to host VBS in your own home, while still experiencing some of the best parts about the VBS program (and its great volunteers and clergy!)
The options for registration are:
- Access to all the online videos and resources for FREE
- Access to all of the videos PLUS all the great VBS items that you are familiar with, such as Saint Cards, a Tracking With Jesus Bible Book, Bible Buddies, Imagination Station activity materials, stickers and a Power Band which will be $10.00 per child. (this option is limited, so please reserve this sooner than later.)
