Rolla Catholic Newman Center

Today, as we celebrate the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, the gospel reminds us that the Eucharist is not just a symbol, but the true Body and Blood of Jesus, given so that we may have eternal life and remain united with Him. Receiving Christ in the Eucharist calls us to become more like Him.

Spend a few extra minutes in prayer before or after Mass this week, thanking Jesus for the gift of the Eucharist and asking Him to help you reflect His love to others.

We join the Universal Church in praying for the intentions of the Holy Father for the month of June: For the values of sports 🙏

Let us pray that sports be an instrument of peace, encounter, and dialogue among cultures and nations, and that they promote values such as respect, solidarity, and personal growth.

The Rolla Catholic Newman Center is closed for the summer, but if you are in town, join us for sacraments at St. Patrick Catholic Church! ☀

Today we celebrate the Solemnity of the Trinity, which reminds us that God is a perfect communion of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, united in love and inviting us into that relationship!

May our lives should reflect unity, selfless love, and faithfulness in our relationships with others and with God 🙏

As you make the Sign of the Cross today, reflect on how each member of the Trinity is present in your life.

Happy Birthday! 🎂

Today we celebrate Pentecost, the birth of the Church! The Holy Spirit gives ordinary people the courage and wisdom to share God’s love with the world. Just as the apostles were transformed and sent out in faith, we are also called to use our gifts to bring hope, unity, and truth to others. Come Holy Spirit! 🔥
