Prayer of Spiritual Communion: My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.Given the threat to Catholic Churches over the last month and in recognition of our continued exposure to vandalism we will be returning to our pre-covid policy of locking the main church except for scheduled Masses and events.

NAMED 14TH BI SHOP OF CHARLESTONBishop Fabre-Jeune
NEW BISHOP ~ SAME MESSAGE
The Bishop’s Annual Appeal supports many diocesan programs and ministries that accomplish critically important work throughout our state. Much of the support is also carried out here locally in our own region. If you have not yet made a gift to the BAA, I encourage you to do so today or as soon as possible. Remember, our challenge this year is to once again surpass 25% parish and diocesan participation. When we surpass our goal, we then receive back 50% of funds raised beyond our goal.Thank you & God Bless!
