Turning Together Towards the Lord
Conversi ad Dominum - Turn to the Lord - Towards the Crucified
For information on why the Eucharistic Prayer is sometimes prayed with the priest facing the altar and crucifix instead of the congregation, please Click Here to go to our Liturgy information webpage.
Fr. Eric prayed the Eucharistic Prayer ad Dominum during Mass at St. Benedict's during Advent and Christmas 2009. Starting January 9,2010 Fr. Eric returned to praying the Eucharistic Prayer facing the congregation for the 8:00am Sunday Masses.
Fr. Eric plans to continue praying ad Dominum (toward the altar and the crucix) for the 5:00pm Saturday Masses, 10:30am Sunday Masses, and weekday Masses. Click Here for more information on our Liturgy page.

We support one another in our human faith walk to attain eternal life with God in Heaven.
