My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

On behalf of myself and the staff here at Most Blessed Sacrament Parish, I want to wish you and your family a blessed and holy Easter. Our Lenten observances of prayer, fasting and almsgiving have been preparing us to encounter the Risen Lord. In the many encounters of the risen Lord in the Gospels, people struggle to identify Jesus. Today, many Catholics do not believe in the real presence.  I invite you to participate in the following to help you encounter the Risen presence of Jesus in the Eucharist.

This Easter, you will be invited to take a book entitled “33 Days to Eucharistic Glory” by Matthew Kelly. It will provide us a 33 day spiritual pilgrimage and help us to fall more deeply in love with Jesus present in the Eucharist.  At the end, you will be invited to make a Eucharistic Consecration. 

Each day there will be a theme, a reflection on that theme, a brief lesson, virtue of the day, and conclude with spiritual communion. We will be invited to journey with Mother Teresa, John Paul II, Therese of Lisieux, Maximilian Kolbe, Thomas Aquinas, Sister Faustina, the Children of Gatima and Mary the Mother of God to discover Jesus in the Eucharist. Join with me and your brothers and sisters in discovering the beauty and power of the Eucharist.

This spiritual pilgrimage will get us ready for the Oshkosh Area Eucharistic Congress on June 20-22. There will be Mass, speakers, confession, Eucharistic Adoration. Speakers would include Fr. Michael Thiel, Fr. John Giotti, Sarah Scheunemann, Fr. Ben Pribbenow. It will conclude on Corpus Christi Sunday, with a Eucharistic procession from each parish site to Lourdes Academy. This will end with a celebration cookout at Lourdes Academy. For further information and to register go to mbsoshkosh.com/congress. Come and find the Risen Lord. Come and be renewed, encouraged, and be found by the one seeking you. Hope to see you there.

Peace,

Fr. Jerry
