“Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them and they all drank from it.” – MARK 14:23
Jesus, the perfect steward, gave thanks, just before He gave Himself up for us, completely for our salvation. He offers us the same chance to drink from His cup. In the bread and wine, we meet Christ personally. If we follow Him, drinking from His cup means our own self-sacrifice, using all of our gifts for the benefit of others and to do His work on earth.

BIBLE STUDY – THE CATHOLIC LETTERS
Tuesday evenings June 8 – July 6, 7 – 8:30 PM
The majority of the New Testament is made up of the Gospels and the Letters of St. Paul. Most of the rest are called the “Catholic Letters” because unlike Paul’s letters that were written to small communities, they were written to the Universal Church. Join us as we explore these first messages from the Apostles to the early Church!

“The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ…” – ROMANS 8:16-17
If we are heirs to the kingdom of God, shouldn’t we work to build up His kingdom? Shouldn’t we be good stewards of our inheritance, using our time in prayer, our talent in charitable works and our treasure to care for the Church that God has left to us? Our Church is a treasured heirloom from God. Do we treat it that way?

Please join us for the Eucharistic procession following
all Masses on June 5 and 6, 2021.
We will have our first ever Eucharistic Procession following each of the masses on the weekend of June 5 and 6, the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ. The Corpus Christi procession is “a public witness of faith and worship of the Most Blessed Sacrament.” The bishops in the US have recognized that we need to reconnect to our faith, especially to the gift of the Most Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist. Our young people will be making their First Holy Communion at these Masses as well. Please keep them in your prayers.
“There are different kinds of spiritual gifts but the same Spirit; there are different forms of service but the same Lord; there are different workings but the same God who produces all of them in everyone.” – 1 CORINTHIANS 12:4-6
All of us are blessed, regardless of our own individual circumstances. God has given each of us many gifts. How we use those gifts is our gift back to God. For God’s plan to work, each must do what we are called to do. Guess what? We are not all called to do the same thing! For God’s plan to work you have to do what God is calling you to do and I have to do what God is calling me to do.
Support the Catholic Communication Campaign at Mass and help our local communications projects! Fifty percent of funds raised stay here in the diocese. The other fifty percent support projects across the US and in developing countries. #1church1mission www.usccb.org/ccc
