Our faith community also gathers at St. Philip the Apostle on

From the Oblates of the Virgin Mary:
“What is Eucharistic Adoration?” That’s a question we often
hear from those new to the faith or searching for ways to
deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ. Adoration is a way
to be present with the Lord and focus on actively listening to His
word through prayer.
During Eucharistic Adoration, the faithful pray to Jesus Christ,
who is present in the Eucharist. The Eucharist, also referred to
as the Blessed Sacrament, is typically kept in a tabernacle at
your parish church.
While it is true that you can pray to God anywhere and that He
is always within you, it is especially powerful to adore Jesus in
the Eucharist. In the presence of the Eucharist, we pray to the
power and sacrifice that it represents — the body of Jesus, who
gave His life so that we may live.
It is His body, blood, soul and divinity that is really, truly, and
substantially present in the Eucharist.
We adore and receive the Eucharist in communion at Mass,
which is the most beautiful act of worship that we have as
Catholics. We have Jesus truly present in all of the tabernacles
around the world. We can continue to adore Him in the
Eucharist after Mass in a quiet time of prayer and
contemplation on Who we have just received . Being in the

YOUR help!
TO HAVE A CHURCH
Jesus’ final command before ascending to heaven, is to “Go therefore and make
disciples of all nations…” (Matthew 28:19). It’s known as the Great Commission,
not “the really good suggestion”. Why? Because Jesus entrusted his disciples with a
partnership in the salvation of the world. The transmission of the Gospel message
depends on US. Jesus is counting on us to reach a particular person or persons with
the message of His love and redemption. But how do we go about it?
JUST INVITE SOMEONE.
Inviting someone to come to Mass might be a little too intimidating for someone
who is unfamiliar with liturgy, or for someone who has fallen away from the Church.
But inviting them to dinner? Or one Zoom session to simply check Alpha out?
That’s easy. Non-threatening. At Alpha you can bring your friend, co-worker,
colleague, hairstylist, daughter’s boyfriend, any family member or the UPS driver
for a meal! You’ll be greeted by really friendly people and, if you’re in person, have
a great (free) meal-or conversation if they join our online Alpha!
As you know, they’ll watch a video on the very basics of the Christian faith, then
have a chance to discuss it with a small group. And any and all questions and
comments are allowed! Seriously. At Alpha, everyone gets a chance to voice their
thoughts and be heard, without judgement. Alpha is a place to have a meaningful
conversation, and to explore the biggest questions of faith and life. It’s a
welcoming place to begin a journey that will change a life forever.
We know personal invitations to participate in Alpha work best. Your word is
better than anything an “ad” may share. So we ask you,
WHO WILL YOU INVITE?

LOOK WHAT’S HAPPENING AT
SACRED HEART SCHOOL!
8th Grade has been
hard at work learning
about World War I in a
cross-curricular unit
between ELA and
social studies. This
week, the students
had to work together
to analyze quotes
from All Quiet on the
Western Front.
Looking at the quotes,
they had to determine
whether the quote
represents the theme
of brotherhood,
sacrifice, or loss
of innocence. This is a
great practice to get
the students ready for
analyzing quotes in
high school!
