Dear Parishioners, 

     This weekend is the beautiful feast of Corpus Christi, the Most Holy Body and Blood of our Lord.  I love this feast because it is the time when we can focus on the real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist.  It is a great time to renew our commitment to Adoration and our Adoration Chapel, and to remind ourselves of how holy our Mass is and the act of receiving Communion. Hopefully, we as a parish can increase our devotion and reverence to the Sunday Eucharistic celebration and the reception of Holy Communion.  Please come and join us as we walk the streets of Lewiston in procession, singing and praying as a public expression of our faith in this Most Holy Sacrament.

    It is a great honor to have a seminarian with us for the summer.  Nick finished Second Theology at St. John’s Seminary in Boston.  He will hopefully be a deacon next year and a priest the following year.  Feel free to invite him to anything that is happening so that he gets a good taste of the beautiful parish we have at Prince of Peace.  His time is short, as the summer always is, so please do not be shy to give him the best experience of being in a parish.

    Finally, our goal in the parish is to use the field in the back of Holy Family for family activities such as soccer.  It would be great for parishioners to have organized games and other activities on our lawn as a way to bring families together.  We now have a few parish picnic events on the lawn, most especially the Prince-A-Palooza.  I dream that parishioners are here all night long enjoying the company of fellow Catholics.  Watch out in the bulletin as things become clearer of our future plans to build community in our parish.  

Peace, Fr. Daniel
