We find ourselves physically separated but thanks to technology, we are able to celebrate Mass and more as a community. We have partnered with a site called Vimeo to house our Mass and other liturgical celebrations.
Check back often to our parish website for bulletins, information, and details as we approach Holy Week.
Simply click on a listing to view and participate with St. Julie's. Make sure your speakers are turned on, not muted. Currently, the March 28/29 Mass, and the Stations of the Cross are available. See below.

To make a spiritual communion, pray this prayer at the Holy Communion time of Mass:
Click here for a printable copy of this prayer.
My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen.

A Note from Fr. George
Lent – For You and For Me
This Holy Season always invokes memories of my growing up. Back then, every Friday was a day of abstinence and going to confession on Saturday was a natural part of receiving Holy Communion on Sunday… after having fasted since midnight. During lent we would attend Stations of the Cross and we looked forward to the covering of all church statues in the weeks leading up to Holy Week. And then, during Holy week, nearly everyone attended all the services, especially Good Friday when it was so still you could hear a pin drop. That meant no television, no playing, and most especially no playing outside in the dirt as a reminder that Jesus had died and was buried.
Today, dietary laws have changed, confessions have lessened, and attendance at church rituals has declined. While many things have changed in our world over the past 50 years, Christ is still our Savior. Our call to the disciplines and opportunities of Lent are just as important, and maybe even more so today. We need Lent and Lent needs you.
