Olivia made friends with the Messenger a couple of years ago. “Every day I read parts of it; I let myself have 30 minutes every day just to read a section so that next week when it comes, I will be done with that and I can start over. My favorite part is what the kids talk about.”
Boy and Girl Scouts from across the diocese gathered Feb. 26 at St. Augustine of Canterbury in Belleville to receive their religious awards.
Every weekend parishioners gather at the Lord’s table at their parishes to receive the Body of Christ. While this is the way many receive Communion, a good number of people — and the number seems to be growing — are no longer able to leave their homes to attend parish liturgies as they once did.
They rely on clergy and other volunteers to bring them the Eucharist.
