Brett Judkins, Seminarian
To those of you who are disabled and regularly take advantage
of the west side handicapped entrance you will notice
that there cannot be access to this entrance during the
roof construction. We ask you and those who assist you to
please make use of the ramps located at the main (south)
entrance of the church. To the able-bodied parishioners I
would ask that you please consider making a sacrifice and
leaving the parking spaces in front of the Church open for
the benefit of those who may need easier access to the
ramps. Thank you all for your cooperation and we apologize
for the inconvenience.
This weekend I will be in Red Bud celebrating the wedding of
a cousin. To make things easier for me, Fr. Clyde Grogan
and I are having a pulpit exchange, meaning he is celebrating
the Masses at Sacred Heart and I am celebrating the
Masses at his parish this weekend. Please welcome Fr.
Clyde.

Our quarterly Anointing of the Sick Mass for our cluster is
coming up. The date will be Tuesday, June 25th and it is St.
Mary's turn to host at Todd's Mill. The Mass will begin at
7pm.
My apologies to Mr. Wilbur Hemmer, whom I incorrectly
identified in last week's bulletin. Mr. Wilbur Hemmer (not Ralph Hemmer) was the winner
of the Youth Group Raffle on Memorial Day.
Again, please take note of the new weekly Mass schedule that will be in effect through July:
Mondays - 5:30pm Communion Service in the church with
Seminarian Brett Judkins (adult education afterwards every
other week beginning June 17)
Tuesdays - 5:30pm Mass in the church
Wednesdays - 5:30pm Mass in the church
Thursdays - Prison/Nursing Home Masses as regularly
scheduled
Fridays - 8:30am Mass in Haffner Hall
-Fr. Nick
Since the end of the Second Vatican Council in 1965, many
changes have been made in the Church in the name of Vatican
II or the "spirit of Vatican II." The most noticeable of
these changes can be seen in the Mass and the Church's
liturgical rites which have raised many questions and have
very often caused confusion amongst the faithful. So, if you
have ever wanted to know more about what Vatican II actually
said regarding liturgy and the Mass please join us for a
four part series on:
The Theology and Vision of Vatican II's Constitution on the
Sacred Liturgy: Sacrosanctum Concilium.
The series begins this Monday, June 27th at 6:00pm in
Haffner Hall after the 5:30pm Communion Service. All are
welcome.
In Christ,
Brett Judkins

Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church
150th Anniversary Mass

What a wonderful celebration! As someone told
me, the planning that went into the celebration was
thorough, organized, beautiful and delicious. I agree!
There is a video of the day’s events which may be purchased
for $5. Thank you to Al & Jean Mercier for making
the video and for the many hours of scanning, setting, and putting together the picture video. Those also may be
purchased. Thank you to everyone who took the time to
give pictures for everyone to enjoy. Thank you to Ms.
Dana Prusacki for revising the church window history
pamphlet, which she originally designed in 1994. Thank
you to Mr. Tom Keller for all the work you did and then
had to redo again because of the lack of communication.
Your work is appreciated. I realize this was a stressful /
crazy past two weeks, but in all we pulled it all together
and the outcome of this special day made us proud to be
members of Sacred Heart’s beautiful parish. The many,
many compliments from all the parishioner’s who were
amazed at how nice everything looked. It gives me great
satisfaction to know that so many of you appreciate all that
I (we) have done and I couldn’t do it without all the help
everyone was willing to do for me and with me, especially,
Rita Harsy and Gina Cushman who spent as many
hours as I, if not more; they need applauded. Job well
done ladies! I also want to thank Lindon Paxton for donating
the ice, Sam’s Material Yard for donating rock,
which was used to re-rock around the rectory, City of Du
Quoin and Donnie Kunkel for hanging the banners and the
Holly tree removal, Ruth Opp who catered a delicious
meal and excellent service, John Croessman from the Du
Quoin Evening Call and Liz Quinn from the Messenger for
taking photo’s and writing articles published, our choir
led by Aaron Atkins and Stephen Piotrowski and all the
choir members who sang and played music, Amanda
Chastain and all the servers who served at Mass. Thank
you to the committee for the planning and research of our

Kelly Paxton, Rose Alongi, Marlene Kellerman, Carolyn & Shannon Williams, Doris & Rich Rottschalk, Patty & Allen Reaves, Michelle & Pam Lioacono, Marie Dimeny,

Weekend Warrior/ Children's Fund Collection
Although the school year is over, we ask you to continue
your monthly donations to the Weekend Warrior children’s
fund so the cabinets can be restocked when we begin
packing bags of food in August. As the economy suffers, so
do families. Sacred Heart has gone from packing 13 bags a
week to 21 bags. From August through May the committee
packed and distributed 721 bags. We can do this because of
your generosity. Thank You!

Thank You to all the wonderful Parishioners of Sacred Heart for all you do! Our Liturgies & Parish functions are a success because of the way we pull together as a Parish Family. Our Lenten Fish Fry or Chicken and Dumpling Dinner would not be the success they are without the volunteers of our parish and all our famous pies/desserts! May God continue to bless all of you!
