Food For Life

To survive through life on earth, we need to nourish our bodies constantly with food.
 
To ensure that we earn life everlasting in the presence of God, we need to constantly nourish the soul with our belief in the Eucharist.

Today we can show our devotion to the Eucharist by supporting the Corpus Christi Procession.
