At the end of the Retreat, participants joined together to contribute to Fr. Mauricio over $1,000 to use for defraying the cost to assist many Catholic youngsters of Danville to attend.

Corpus ChristiWe, as Catholics, believe The Eucharist is the center of our Catholic faith.  Therefore, we honor and worship The Eucharist as the Divinity and Presence of Jesus Christ.

On this feast day of Corpus Christi each year we avail ourselves of the opportunity to accompany Jesus Christ through Hot Springs and be a witness to our belief.  You are encouraged to be a part of this proclamation beginning at St. John's Church at 3:30 p.m. on Sunday, June 23, 2019.  We will open with Benediction in church, then process to St. Mary's Church where we will finish the Benediction.  The procession is about a mile and a half and takes about an hour.  Water is provided along the way.  Refreshments will be served at St. Mary's after the conclusion of the service.  A bus will be waiting to transport people back to their cars at St. John's.  Any questions, call Wally at 501-318-9480.
