Dear Friends
We're Glad You've Found Us

St. Elizabeth of Hungary Parish is deep-rooted in our faith in Jesus Christ and in our devotion to his Church. As Catholics we are part of the profound and rich Christian tradition that unites us with all our brothers and sisters around the world in “one Lord, one faith, and one baptism…” (Eph. 4,5) The Eucharist is at the center of all we do because Jesus is at the center of all we do. We faithfully serve Him and as His disciples reach out to all people with the Good News that Jesus is risen!

We welcome you and as you explore our webpage we hope you are able to find the information you seek. But the One you seek, that we all seek, is Jesus! Come and join us for Mass sometime and experience His loving and merciful presence.

Rev. John S. Pendzick
Pastor

The Feast of Corpus Christi – Procession and Benediction

The Feast of Corpus Christi is a Solemn Feast of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ. It celebrates the Real Presence of the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ in the elements of the Eucharist. The Eucharist is the “source and summit of the Christian life” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, No. 1324). Central to the feast is the call to Catholics to express love of the Eucharist to the world, to “proclaim on the housetops” (Mt 10:27) what the apostles came to know at the Last Supper. The Real Presence means that we wholehearted believe that Jesus is present, not a sign or symbol, but truly is there! This is why the Eucharistic procession is the hallmark of celebrating the feast of Corpus Christi.

St. Elizabeth’s will celebrate this Solemnity in the traditional way by having a Eucharistic procession at each Mass over the weekend of June 5 & 6. All of our First Holy Communicants and their families, altar servers and Extra-Ordinary Ministers or the Eucharist are invited to join the procession. The 4:30 PM and 8:00 AM Masses will process within the Church. The 10:00 AM Mass will process around the parish grounds (weather permitting). Otherwise we will stay in the church for the procession. All those processing are reminded about social distancing. At the end of the procession we will celebrate benediction with a Blessing from Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, the Divine Praises and dismissal. We look forward to celebrating this traditional, 700+ year feast with the people of our parish.
