THE MOST HOLY BODY AND BLOOD OF CHRIST

...also, First Holy Communion

VI-22-14

See last year's post on the evolution of this Solemnity's nomenclature.

Other notes:
- At the 11:15 Mass, three young children will receive our Lord Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament for the very first time.
- The brass trio will be on hand to enhance our music at all Masses this weekend, except 7:30 AM.
- Benediction will take place at the end of the 5 PM (Saturday) and 11:15 AM, and most likely at the end of the 9 AM Mass as well.
