Divine Liturgy

Feast of Saint Thomas the Apostle

Weekday Divine Liturgy is served at 7 PM.

Visitors are welcomed and encouraged to come! Don't worry about anything. We look forward to meeting you!

Guidelines for the reception of Holy Communion:

All practicing Catholics (Eastern, Roman, and Oriental) who have received their First Communion according to the standards of their particular Church and who are in good standing with their Church may receive the Holy Mysteries (including Holy Communion).

All practicing members of the Eastern or Oriental Orthodox Churches, the Assyrian Church of the East, or the Polish National Church who are in good standing with their Church and who spontaneously request it may receive the Holy Mysteries of Repentance and Holy Communion; but they are counseled to follow the guidelines their own Churches have set.

In order to receive the Body and Blood of our Savior in Holy Communion, just tell the priest your Christian name (the name you were baptized with) when you approach, then open your mouth wide with your tongue in. Father will take care of the rest!

All other guests are welcome to approach for a blessing. To do so, simply bow your head forward when you approach Father. He will say a prayer over you (or your child), asking for God to bless you.

All the following may avail themselves of this opportunity for a blessing:

• Those who have not kept the fast
• Those who have not recently been to confession
• Those who have not been practicing their faith
• Those who have not yet come to faith in Christ
• Those who are Christians of another denomination
• Those who arrived after the reading of the Gospel
• Those who have not yet received their First Communion according to the standards of their particular Church
• Those who refrain from partaking of the Eucharist for other reasons
