Eucharist (How to Receive)


This short informational video could be used with a high school or junior high audience as a thorough reminder of how we appropriately approach and receive the Blessed Sacrament during Holy Communion. It's a good review at the beginning of the school year, during a retreat, or before receiving Confirmation or participating in the celebration of another Sacrament.

Ubi Caritas

Ubi Caritas, Durufle
In honor of the Feast of St. Gregory the Great, here is a bit a Gregorian chant. The Latin words of the refrain translate as "where charity and love prevail, God is there." This song is traditionally an antiphon for the washing of the feet at the Mass of the Lord's Supper on Holy Thursday, the beginning of the Easter Triduum.
