It is time to look forward to the Feb 11 Communion Breakfast. This is the first time we have run this wonderful and specifically Catholic event in 5 years, so it must be reintroduced to the parish. During this year of Eucharistic Revival, this particular Communion Breakfast is particularly special as it will be conducted along with the display of the 100 Eucharistic Miracles. Those attending the Communion Breakfast will have the additional opportunity to view the posters that are so popular that they had to be reserved way back in July to make sure they would be available for the Communion Breakfast date.
|
After the welcoming, a short speech on the Eucharistic Miracles posters will be given followed by a hot breakfast of French Toast, eggs, and sausage. Then the first of the speakers for the event will be Deacon John Scansaroli , who will speak on the following topic: “The Eucharist, the Living Person of Christ Changes Lives”. Following Deacon John, the awards for service to the parish and community will be presented. The event wraps up with Monsignor and Pastor Emeritus, Father Eugene Prus sharing his thoughts on the Eucharist.
|
|
All in all, the Knights are delighted to bring this event back to the parish calendar where we can all come together to celebrate our Catholic faith, publicly recognize the service of select parishioners, and affirm ourselves in our Catholic identity.
