Mark Your Calendar for the Feast Day Celebration of Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament – Friday, May 13, 2022, immediately after the 5:30 pm Mass
May 13 is a very special day indeed! It coincides with Our Lady’s first appearance to the visionaries of Fatima (1917), the assassination attempt on Saint Pope John Paul II (1981), and it also marks the Feast Day of Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament, a title given to Mary by St. Peter Julian Eymard in 1868. Many may not be aware that the statue of Mary in the right alcove of our church depicts the Blessed Mother in this special role!
The May 13 celebration in the Parish Center will immediately follow the 5:30 pm Mass, with a talk by Discalced Carmelite Friar Fr. Eugene “Gene” Wehner, O.C.D. who will further explain the significance of this Marian title, its connection to Fatima, and much more!
This Feast Day presents a great opportunity to consecrate yourself to Jesus through Mary. You may wish to prepare for this day by ordering this book by Laura Catherine Worhacz: Consecration to Jesus through Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament: 33 Days with Saint Peter Julian Eymard, Apostle of the Eucharist. ($14.95 on Amazon.) You can prepare on your own or, if interested in joining others online in the parish, please contact Monica Ludwig at monicaludwig@verizon.net. In order to complete the 33-day consecration by May 13, we will begin on April 10.
