Spiritual Communion
My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the Most Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things and I desire to receive You into my soul.

Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.

Browse a Vintage Village of antiques and collectibles, library, Dama Boutique, Dollar store, and play area surrounding the vignette of Mother Mary during the "month of the rosary". Receive a rosary in charity or for a good-will donation to the church. Every parishioner is invited to volunteer for this event.
