The bishops of the Province of Mobile, together with our Presbyteral Councils, have declared this year to be The Year of the Eucharist and the Parish in all our dioceses.  I am asking all the faithful, our parishes, schools and ministries to observe 2021 as The Year of the Eucharist and the Parish.

Thursday, January 7^th 

During Hour of Grace, we adore His presence and open ourselves to His Graces which flow from the Eucharist.  Abandon yourself to Jesus in this “Sacrament of Love.”  He will refresh you!  The more time you spend with Jesus, the more you will come away feeling renewed and healed. Come join us for an Hour of Grace on Thursday, January 7^th at 6:00 pm at Blessed Seelos Church.

  Dear Jesus, as You led the Three Kings to You by the light of a star, please draw us ever closer to You by the light of Faith.  Help us to desire You as ardently as they did.  Give us the grace to overcome all the obstacles that keep us far from You.  May we, like them, have something to give You when we appear before You.  Mary, Our Mother, help us to know your Son.

  Amen.
