What a beautiful blessing it was to welcome the International Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Our Lady of Fatima.
Our Lady revitalized our reverence and awareness of her presence with us as our parish patroness. I
want to thank all those who worked so hard on all the details to make our parish hospitable for this visit.
Your service at all levels was a beautiful testimony of faith and a cooperation with Our Lady’s message

FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK
Dear Parishioners,
We celebrate today the Solemnity of Corpus Cristi or the Body and Blood
of Christ. We celebrate Jesus’ priceless gift of himself to us in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Each Mass, Jesus
invites us to his table and feeds us with his Body and Blood which nourishes us spiritually, physically and in ways
that is redemptive beyond our comprehension.
Jesus gives us his Body and Blood in order to strengthen us as members of his Holy People, the Church. We
read in the Catechism #1323 a description of the Body and Blood of Christ, called the Eucharist which means
thanksgiving and good gift. The gift of the Body and Blood of Christ is described as, “…, a memorial of his death
and resurrection: a sacrament of love, a sign of unity, a bond of charity, a Paschal banquet 'in which Christ is consu
med, the mind is filled with grace, and a pledge of future glory is given to us.”
Again what a wonderful evidence of God’s continuous love for us. Last Sunday we contemplated the awesome
revelation of the Trinity and this Sunday the church invites us to be conscious that God places his awesome,
limitless self before us to be consumed in Holy Communion. Thanks be to God.
Rev. Darrell Da Costa
Queridos Feligreses:
Hoy celebramos la solemnidad del Corpus Cristi o el Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo. Celebramos el regalo inestimable
de Jesús de sí mismo hacia nosotros en el Santo Sacrificio de la Misa. En cada misa, Jesús nos invita a su mesa y nos
alimenta con su Cuerpo y su Sangre, espiritualmente, físicamente y de maneras que son redentores y están mas allá de
nuestra comprensión.
Jesús nos da su Cuerpo y Sangre con el fin de fortalecernos como miembros de su Santo Pueblo, la Iglesia. Leemos en
el Catecismo # 1323 una descripción del Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo, llamado la Eucaristía, que significa acción de
gracias y buen regalo. El Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo se describe como "..., el memorial de su muerte y resurrección:
sacramento de piedad, signo de unidad, vínculos de amor, banquete pascual en el que se recibe a Cristo, el alma se llena
de gracia y se nos da una prenda de la gloria futura. "
Una vez más cuán maravillosa la prueba de amor continuo de Dios por nosotros. El domingo pasado contemplamos
la revelación increíble de la Trinidad, y este domingo la iglesia nos invita a ser conscientes de que Dios coloca su impresionante, ser ilimíta entre nosotros, para consumo en la Santa Comunión. Demos gracias a Dios.
Padre Darrell Da Costa
Reflexionando sobre la Imagen Peregrina de Nuestra Señora de Fátima - del Padre Darrell
Qué hermosa bendición fue dar la bienvenida a la Virgen Internacional Peregrina de la Virgen de Fátima.
Nuestra Señora revítalizo nuestra reverencia y el conocimiento de su presencia con nosotros como nuestra
patrona de la parroquia. Quiero agradecerles a todos los que trabajaron en todos los detalles para nuestra
parroquia fuese más hospitalaria para esta visita. Sus servicios en todos los niveles fueron hermosos testimonios de fé y gran cooperación con el mensaje de la Virgen que sigamos a su Hijo.
