On June 11, 2026, as part of the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. bishops will consecrate the United States of America to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Our parish, Holy Comforter Saint Cyprian, will join in celebrating the consecration of our nation to the Sacred Heart.

We will participate by praying a Novena to the Sacred Heart from June 3 – 11.  On the feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, June 12, we will have All-Day Eucharistic Adoration in the parish beginning at 8:00 AM until 7:00 PM (confessions 6pm-7pm). At 8:00 PM, we will celebrate Mass and the consecration. You, your family and friends are invited to participate.

ALL-DAY EUCHARISTIC ADORATION

If you would like to sign-up for an hour of adoration on Friday, June 12th (Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus), click the following button.

The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ is also known as the Solemnity of Corpus Christi, which translates from Latin to “Body of Christ.” This feast originated in France in the mid-thirteenth century and was extended to the whole Church by Pope Urban IV in 1264. In the United States, this feast is celebrated on the Sunday following Trinity Sunday.

The Feast of Corpus Christi is commonly used as an opportunity for public Eucharistic processions, which serves as a sign of common faith and adoration. Our worship of Jesus in His Body and Blood calls us to offer to God our Father a pledge of undivided love and an offering of ourselves the service of others.

Our parish will host a Corpus Christi Procession on Sunday, June 7th following the 11AM Mass. We will depart from the sanctuary with the Holy Eucharist and proceed up to and around Lincoln Park and then return to the church sanctuary for benediction. All are invited to process with us as we bring the ‘True’ presence of the Eucharist to the community. If you are unable to walk, you are welcome to remain in the sanctuary and pray the rosary with others.

 

On Sunday, June 28th at the 11:00AM Mass,  the Holy Comforter-Saint Cyprian Catholic Church community will Acknowledge and Congratulate parishioners graduating from middle school, high school and college for their academic achievements!

Graduates along with their family and friends are invited to the Mass for special recognition and blessing. If you like, please wear your graduate regalia (robe, hat/mortarboard, etc.). We ask you to register using the form below to participate in the recognition. Please print, complete and return the form via email or drop in the collection basket or at the rectory office by the deadline.

• Are you or a family member or friend interested in becoming Catholic?
• Did you or a family member or friend miss receiving the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation or Holy Communion?
• Are you searching for a greater knowledge and appreciation of your Catholic faith?
• Are you a returning Catholic who has been away from the church and would like to re-establish your knowledge of the faith?

Then, consider attending our adult faith formation classes (also called OCIA which stands for the Order of Christian Initiation for Adults) which begins in the Fall!

Our parish offers these weekly classes on the fundamental teachings of the Catholic faith on Sunday’s at 9:30am in the rectory beginning in September 2025. These classes are especially designed for non-Catholics who are considering becoming Catholic. But, they are also a wonderful opportunity for adult Catholics who have missed receiving one of the sacraments or who may be returning to the Church after a long absence. These classes are also open to adult Catholics who are looking for a way to enrich their faith.

If you are interested, or you know of someone who is, contact us at rciahcsc@gmail.com or call the rectory office at 202-546-1885. Let us know if you have questions or are not certain how this will work for you. There is no commitment for seeking information. We are available to help you in your journey.
