THE HOLY EUCHARIST: “HIGHWAY TO HEAVEN”: Get Ready for a Day of Miracles, Prayer, and Hope!
Register Now for this Free Event
April 26, 2025 9 a.m. - 3 p.m.
***Come for part of the day or spend the whole day!***
St. Agnes Church and School, Lake Placid
On April 26 (the Saturday after Easter and the eve of Bl. Carlo Acutis’s canonization), you are invited to pray with our Eucharistic Lord with Catholics from around our diocese, explore the exhibit of Eucharistic miracles that Bl. Carlo created, and join Bishop LaValley for a special Holy Hour of Hope, including a procession with Jesus among the faithful and consecration of the Diocese of Ogdensburg to the Eucharist.
Bl. Carlo said, “The Eucharist is my highway to heaven.” Called “Apostle of the Eucharist,” “God’s Influencer,” and “the Patron Saint of the Internet,” Carlo is the first millennial saint. His devotion to the Eucharist led him to create a website to track Eucharistic Miracles. You are invited to behold this exhibit which has travelled around the globe.
There will also be opportunities for attending Holy Mass, inspiring talks, and all day Adoration and Confession. This event is for whole families and includes an interactive exhibit, prayer, fellowship, and an opportunity to serve.
The event schedule, prayer resources, and more information may be found on the Jubilee page of the Diocesan website at https://www.rcdony.org/jubileeh2h.

JESUS WAITS FOR YOU!: Next Friendship Group Meeting: April 24, 2025
The Eucharist is the “sacrament of love.” Jesus Christ is the true Bridegroom of our hearts, and it is He whom we receive in Holy Communion. Even if you have received our Lord thousands of times in the Eucharist, the book "Consuming Love" invites you to experience afresh the intensity of the intimacy Christ offers us.
Join us on Thursday, April 24 at 7 p.m. via Zoom as best selling author Fr. Gregory Cleveland, OMV opens new horizons in our understanding of the Eucharist and offers a language of love to express our relationship with Jesus as a divine romance. We will discuss chapters 1 - 6 of his new book. Through His Incarnation, death, and Resurrection, Jesus Christ wedded human nature to Himself, making a marvelous marriage of God and man. Jesus remains wed to His Church through the gift of Himself to us in the Blessed Sacrament. We enter this union of Christ with our hearts as we receive Him in Holy Communion, giving ourselves completely to Him in return.
The book may be ordered at omvusa.org. To sign-up for the Friendship Group, receive the meeting link, and discussion questions, go to https://mailchi.mp/sophiainstitute/friendship-groups
