Celebrating the Year of Faith

On Thursday, October 11, Catholics throughout the world began to celebrate the "Year of Faith" - it's an opportunity for Catholics to experience a conversion – to turn back to Jesus and enter into a deeper relationship with him.

The Year of Faith (that concludes on November 24, 2013) also calls Catholic to encounter Jesus in the Sacraments, especially the Eucharist and rediscover the Faith and Church.

Many of you readers are aware that Catholics believe that Jesus Christ is literally, not symbolically, truly present in the Holy Eucharist – body, blood, soul and divinity -  and that we are truly consuming Jesus’ body and blood at Mass.  

So for this week I'd like to share with you a video that we did for my son Jacob's First Communion back in February 2011.  Enjoy!
