MAY THEY REST IN PEACE

Cardinal Seán O’Malley has announced a Year of the Eucharist, starting this Corpus Christi Sunday until Corpus Christi in 2021, to bolster the faith of those who already believe in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist and to encourage those who struggle with this belief. Over the course of the next year, the Cardinal invites all Catholics in the Archdiocese of Boston to learn more about the Eucharist and to spend more time before the Eucharistic Lord, asking Him to reveal Himself to you. Our parishes will offer special events in celebration of this year and will be asking parishioners to consider becoming a "Year of the Eucharist Missionary" to help us celebrate this special year in the life of our Church. For more information about this celebration please visit the Archdiocese of Boston website at www.BostonCatholic.org
