June 17th Youth Center Watch for details
The other day, my sister was telling me about a conversation she had with the vicar at her parish, a young priest who is assigned to work with the youth. Don Alessandro told her that he is known by the nickname of “Fr. Bread and Water,” and this is why.
Today we celebrate the Solemnity of the Ascension of our Lord into Heaven. It is one of the earliest feasts of Christianity, and the date of the first celebration is uncertain. We know with certainty that it was officially celebrated in the fourth century. Why is this Feast so important? This is what the Catechism of the Catholic Church tells us:
- Christ’s Ascension marks the definitive entrance of Jesus’ humanity into God’s heavenly domain, whence He will come again (acts 1:11); His humanity rests with God, and in the meantime is hidden from the eyes of man (Col.3:3). (CCC paragraph 665)
- Jesus Christ, the head of the Church, precedes us into the Father’s glorious kingdom so that we, the members of His Body, may live in the hope of one day being with Him forever, (CCC paragraph 666)
- Jesus Christ, having entered the sanctuary of Heaven once and for all, intercedes constantly for us as the Mediator who assures us of the permanent outpouring of the Holy Spirit. (CCC, paragraph 667).
You are invited to the special Masses here on Memorial Day, May 25th, at 6:30 am and 8:00 am. We will be celebrating the Holy Mass in memory of all the deceased of our parish and your families. You are encouraged to make this holiday special by lifting up to our Lord’s loving mercy your loved ones who’ve died in Christ.
You’ve noticed that the bell tower is back on the cover of this week’s bulletin! Although we still have a few steps to go through with the City of Westminster, I am 90% sure that we will have our bells. The final step is a City Council meeting at the beginning of June, with their approval we will be able to build our bell tower! Please keep this in your prayers.
Our last Masses in the church are next weekend! For the weekend of June 6-7, Masses will be in the Fr. Puhl Center . These are exciting times for us!

Years ago, at my “day job,” I parked next to the car of a co-worker. The bumper proudly displayed a brand-new sticker: “Methodists: preaching the Gospel for 200 years.” I grinned, walked into the office, shook the owner’s hand and said: “Catholics: preaching the Gospel for 2000 years.” I can’t understand why she removed the bumper sticker from her car.
Catholics, by the grace of God and through no merit of their own, can rely on two thousand years of Tradition and tradition; it is a shame and a great loss that more of us do not bother to discover our deep, healthy and awesome roots. I did not realize what a blessing it was to grow up in a Country that was almost 100% Catholic, in a family that was 100% faithful. In those years, we breathed a deeply Catholic air. One could almost say that those of my generation and before, picked up the Faith by osmosis.
Mostly a behind the scenes maintenance release with a few minor touch ups here and there. You can expect the pace of releases to slow going forward as I am mostly fixing minor issues.
If you see any problems or find bugs please leave a comment so I can log it and fix.
