“The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few,” Jesus laments in today’s Gospel. Indeed, the kingdom of God is full of plenty, but always there are opportunities to build it up in the way we bring God’s love to others. Nourished in the Word and the Eucharist, we go forth to labor for the kingdom. This weekend, we also celebrate the anniversary of our country’s founding, appreciative of what we have while we labor to build a more perfect union. May our labors on behalf of God and country be blessed and fruitful.

Weekly News:

MASS INTENTIONS

When a priest celebrates Mass each day, he offers each celebration of the Eucharist for a particular person, or intention. By doing so he applies special graces from God upon that person or intention.

Would you like to offer a mass for someone special? If so, please contact Kelly at the office (Thursday 496-5867 or any other day 542-3423). Mass intentions are $10 per person.

PARISH REGISTRATION

It is important to be registered in a parish so sacrament information can be logged and available for reference for any life event that occurs. Please pardon the oversight if you have not been receiving envelopes, or if there has been a life event (new to the parish, marriage, births, new addresses etc.) that we are unaware of. Give the office a call at 542-3423 and we will get you back on the registry and will answer any questions you may have

DIOCESAN YEAR OF EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL TO BEGIN WITH JUNE 19 MASS

BELLEVILLE – A three-year Eucharistic revival in the diocese will begin with a 10:30 a.m. Mass June 19 at the Cathedral of St. Peter in Belleville, followed by an outdoor Eucharistic procession around the block of the Cathedral.

Catholics in dioceses across the country will begin the revival on the same weekend on which this year is celebrated the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, or Corpus Christi.

Bishop Michael McGovern will be the principal celebrant at the Mass at the cathedral that will begin the revival. The Diocesan Year of Eucharistic Revival begins June 19 and runs to June 11 of next year.

The Bishops of the United States are calling for a three-year grassroots revival of devotion and belief in the Real

Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist.

When the Church speaks of the “Real Presence” she means “the whole Christ is truly present, body, blood, soul, and divinity, under the appearances of bread and wine – the glorified Christ who rose from the dead after dying for our sins. (The Real Presence of Jesus Christ is the Sacrament of the Eucharist, USCCB, 2020). The Bishops believe that God wants to see a movement of Catholics across the United States, healed, converted, formed, and unified by an encounter with Jesus in the Eucharist – and sent out in mission “for the life of the world.”

These three years will culminate in the first National Eucharistic Congress the United States in almost 50 years. Almost 100,000 Catholics will join together in Indianapolis for a once-in-a-lifetime pilgrimage toward the “sources and summit” of our Catholic Faith.

The hope is that through the three-year Eucharistic Revival there will be a ripple effect that lukewarm Catholics will become on fire and fervent Catholics will become even stronger disciples.

To experience the Real Presence at our parish, we have Eucharistic Adoration every other Wednesday (watch the bulletin for dates), and the church handicap door is open weekdays until 4 pm for anyone who would like to visit the Real Presence of Christ in the Tabernacle.
