Someone said to me that this year‘s celebration of
Holy Week was that much better because we
weren’t able to be together for it last year. I would
certainly agree. Yes, we did have some concerns
about the logistics of how things would work out,
but everything seemed to come off without a hitch.
We found new ways to do things and may keep
some of them in the future because they worked so
well.
Thank you to everyone who helped in any way: our
music ministry, those who decorated the church,
our lectors and greeters, the volunteers who clean
the church, our technical team who provides the
live stream for those at home, those who came out
to pray and celebrate with us in person, particularly
those who might have done so for the first time
since this all started and those who joined us from
home, as well.
And thank you for your continued prayerful and
financial support of St. Denis. It is a testament to
just how much our parish community means to you.
As we continue through this Easter season let us do
so mindful of how the Resurrection of Jesus calls
each of us to be grateful and to serve one another in
whatever way that we can.

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.
We are an open Church in the Roman Catholic tradition: Opening our hearts in worship, opening our minds for discipleship, opening our eyes, ears, and hands in service and fellowship, and reaching out to all.
Fulfilling the Great Commission:
"...Go, make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and teach them to carry out everything I have commanded you...."
By living the Great Commandment:
"...Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind and strength, and love your neighbor as yourself...."
