On June 27th, or the Friday after the Corpus Christi Sunday, we celebrate the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus.

The Ascension of the Lord
by Fr. Jess Ty | 06/01/2025 | Weekly ReflectionDear Family of God,
Here in our Diocese, we move Ascension into the Seventh Sunday of Easter, instead of Thursday. So, we don’t usually hear these readings, but today I want to share a reflection for that day.
“So that they may all be one, as you, Father, are in me and I in you, that they also may be in us, that the world may believe that you sent me.” (John 17:21)
