We are using an important communication tool in order to connect with our Parishioners. In signing up you will receive reminders of Masses, special events or important communications from the Parish. Over these past several weeks we have wished our parishioners a Happy Saint Patrick’s Day and a Happy Saint Joseph’s Day and even a Happy Easter. We have reminded everyone of the times for our Masses and services during this past Holy Week and even we reminded everyone to put their clock ahead one hour when we had to spring ahead. Some people have said to us that they don't mind getting communications from Blessed Sacrament but they don't want anything coming from anyone else. When you sign up you can exclude any other group from sending you a message by delisting them so that you will only get messages from us. Sometimes we need reminders of what is taking place and the time it is taking place.

The “El Divino Níño” Procession and Mass will take place on Thursday, July 12th. The Procession starts at 6:00pm and the Mass at 7:30pm. The Divino Niño, is a 20th-century religious wooden statue of the child Jesus originating from Bogota, Colombia. The statue with arms stretched out wide and wearing a traditional pink robe or tunic has an inscription "Yo reinaré" ("I will reign") at its base. The statue's image and religious devotion began with a Salesian priest named Father Giovanni Rizzo, from Arenzano, Italy. His bishop once assigned him to an impoverished parish in Bogotá, Colombia. In 1914, Father Rizzo and his Salesian priestly companions began to build a church in Barranquilla, Colombia. Father Rizzo is believed to have had a mystical vision of the child Jesus in a standing posture while beckoning out his arms. The boy in the vision spoke "Take me with you, I want to accompany you." In 1942, Father Rizzo discovered a child Jesus statue in a nearby shop. In the shop, was the statue by an anonymous Italian sculptor, who fashioned a likeness of the child Jesus, as in Father Rizzo's vision. He brought it to his new parish, where he began to preach about the favors the Christ Child does for those who have faith and who help the poor. Mother Angelica also had a great devotion to this image and she is reported to have had a mystical experience of the Child Jesus. Even though this Mass will be in Spanish, all are invited to attend.
