COVID-19 Update

There is currently a global surge of COVID-19 infections.  The dominate variant, named "Eris", is spreading much faster than originally anticipated.  In the U.S., COVID-19 is still the fifth highest cause of death.  New Mexico has the fourth highest number of infections, per capita, in the U.S. Hospitalizations for COVID-19 in New Mexico have doubled in the last three months, and there has been a 19% increase in deaths due to COVID-19 in New Mexico during that time period.

Those attending religious services are now considered to be at significant risk of contracting COVID-19 infections, and houses of worship are ranked as the third most likely place to become infected with the COVID-19 virus.  As a matter of fact, some of our parishioners and staff members have recently tested positive for COVID-19 infections.

Please do your part to limit the spread of this virus:

• Wash your hands frequently, and utilize hand-sanitizer throughout the day.
• If you have symptoms of a COVID-19 infection, stay home and get tested as soon as possible.
• Stay up-to-date with your COVID-19 vaccine boosters.

Everyone is responsible for ensuring that COVID-19 infections remain in check!  None of us want to have to return to the pandemic restrictions again!

Knights of Columbus Council 14999 is having a "Spread The Love" Peanut Butter Drive starting July 15th. Peanut butter can make a meal for anyone no matter what age and it's the simplest meal that kids can make for themselves.

Bring jars of peanut butter to bingo nights! 

The peanut butter will be delivered by the Knights to the Good Shepherd Center in Albuquerque. 
The Center provides meals to poor & homeless families. The peanut butter is especially useful for families with young children.

Thank you in advance for your help!

"Make this experiment whether you believe in God or not. At your first opportunity, stop in a Catholic Church for a visit. You need not believe, as we Catholics do, that Our Lord is really and truly present in the tabernacle. But just sit there for an hour, and within that hour you will experience a surpassing peace the like of which you never before enjoyed in your life.  You will ask yourself as a sensationalist once asked me when we made an all-night vigil of adoration in the Basilica of Sacre Coeur in Paris: "What is it that is in that church?" Without voice or argument or thundering demands, you will have an awareness of something before which your spirit trembles --a sense of the Divine.``

Come spend a holy hour in Eucharistic Adoration on Friday between 8 AM and 4 PM.  Benediction will follow at 4 PM. Contact Dolores at 505-702-7587 if you wish to schedule a particular hour.

On the Eucharist  7 
by Deacon Burns

Let me continue about having life in Him (our Lord Jesus Christ). He says in the Gospel of John 6:57, “Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me.”

I want to immediately direct your attention to segments appearing on The Bustedhalo.com by various presenters and the Augustine Institute with Father Robert Spitzer about Eucharistic miracles that will blow your minds. On the Bustedhalo there are many such programs that detail miracles from the 8th, 13th, and 21st centuries noting consecrated “bread” bleeding and becoming human tissue, still viable and lasting for hundreds of years.

In a 34-minute program by the host Chris Stephanic and his discussion with Fr. Spitzer, scientific details were presented on examinations in 2006 and 2012 on a host that still bleeds from a hole in it. Tissue that has grown from this host is proven to be cardiac tissue from the left ventricle of a man who has suffered poly-trauma (as we know Christ has endured). Further, the blood typing done discloses living red and white blood cells from blood group AB. Samples studied from Lucianno, Italy of the miracle in the 13th century, the Shroud of Turin, and the 21stcentury are all AB blood type. This is the universal blood type.All are from one man.

In my introduction, Christ means (read: present tense) what he says, “…so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me.” How can anyone not recognize the importance of the reception of the Eucharist at Mass?
