​An Act of Spiritual Communion


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.

​200 Years of Catholic Presence in Wilmington,  Delaware**
"​Most histories tell us that the first Masses in Wilmington were celebrated in the 1790/s when French refugees arrived from Haiti.  But Catholicism had made its appearance a decade earlier than that during the Revolutionary War.   French Soldiers in 1782 were billeted in the Wilmington Academy, roughly where the Grand Opera House now is.  Catholic army chaplains said Mass there.

“Mission is never the fruit of a perfectly planned program or a well-organized manual. Mission is always the fruit of a life which knows what it is to be found and healed, encountered and forgiven. Mission is born of a constant experience of God’s merciful anointing.”​  Pope Francis
