END OF SCHOOL YEAR - The end of the academic year 2023-24 came to an end this week so now is the time to register your children for the next academic year. Please check the Parish School website: www.olhrschool.org for information. Remember that a Catholic education is an "advantage for life."
It is with great excitement that we announce the 2024 Annual Raffle! This is a Parish fundraiser. Thank you in advance for your great generosity and efforts in making this year’s raffle a great success for the whole Shrine community!
The Holy Spirit’s call to renewal can be broken down into four invitations based on the pillars of the Revival: reinvigorate worship, create moments of personal encounter, engage in robust formation, and send Catholics forth as missionaries.
Hello OLHR Families, We hope this finds you and your family well! We will be registering for all Religious Education Programs. See below for registration Schedules.
Corpus Christi is Latin for the “Body of Christ.” In the Catholic Church in the West, Corpus Christi is celebrated as a solemnity on the Sunday following the Most Holy Trinity Sunday since the liturgical reforms of Vatican II. At its core the solemnity is a celebration of the Tradition and belief in the Eucharist as the Real Presence of the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. For millennia, such a theme was part of the celebration of Holy Thursday, but then there are other important themes that are part of that celebration. And, all this occurs in the shadow of Good Friday. The placement of the celebration is not one that necessarily lends itself to a joyful celebration. But looked at from another perspective, every Sunday is a feast of the Eucharist, because by participating in the Mass, and in receiving Communion, we are honoring and celebrating the Eucharist. Still, the Feast of Corpus Christi has its own history.
