Dear Friends,
Today’s Feast of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ gives us an opportunity to
reflect on the celebration of the Eucharist in a way that we may not have time for on Holy
Thursday. The scripture readings recounted for us three different sacred meals: the
sacrifice offered by Melchizedek, Saint Paul’s description of the Last Supper, and Saint Luke’s
account of the multiplication of the loaves and fish. This Feast allows us to recall God’s many
gifts to us, most especially the gift of the Eucharist that we celebrate at the altar every Sunday.
Through this Feast may we come to a greater appreciation and love for the Body and Blood of
Christ, the ultimate gift of our loving Savior!
This week our parish community bid a prayerful farewell to our beloved Pastor Emeritus,
Monsignor Joseph T. Kane. His funeral on Wednesday was a tribute to a priestly life, well lived
in service to the People of God. His 19 years as our pastor and his 11 years as pastor emeritus
were filled with opportunities of grace and special love and concern for the people of this parish.
His interest never diminished for the events and growth of his beloved community. I was just sad
that in his last few years he was not able to be as present to the community as I know he would
have wished to be. For all those who participated in the Funeral Liturgy and who worked in the
various preparations for the Mass, a profound thank you and God bless you!
This Monday is Memorial Day. Mass will be celebrated in church at 9AM. Please
consider beginning this national holiday in a prayerful expression of gratitude for the men and women
who have served our country and made the ultimate sacrifice to preserve its freedoms. We are the
beneficiaries of their heroism, let us be forever grateful!
In last week’s bulletin I made an omission in expressing gratitude to a member of our Parish
Pastoral Council. I wish to acknowledge DOTTIE PRIOR who served as an Appointed Member to the
Council for the past nine years! Thank you Dottie for your willingness to serve so generously as a
member of the council!
This time of year we welcome home many members of our parish who have been away at different
universities and colleges. We want to also express our congratulations to all of our parish students who
have or will graduate this spring. We are proud of your accomplishments and wish all of you success in
your future endeavors and plans!
May Saint Robert Bellarmine, our patron and intercessor, bless all of us on our journey to the
Lord!
With prayers,
The Most Holy Body an

Divine Mercy Chaplet - Every Monday at 3pm, during adoration, a small group gets together to recite the Divine Mercy Chaplet. In this Year of Mercy, as declared by our Holy Father, this is a great opportunity to ask for God’s Mercy and pray for mercy for those that have passed before us. The chaplet was given to us from Jesus to Saint Faustina, it is easily said with a
rosary. Beryl Stine has gratuitously volunteered to provide pamphlets describing the prayers for those not familiar with the chaplet.
Thanks to all who contributed to this year's Pro-Life rose sale. We raised $1048 to help our local crisis pregnancy centers! As always, all of this money goes directly to help provide housing, counseling, medical care, education and supplies to women and children in need until they are able to meet their own needs. Your help is invaluable and very much appreciated.
The parish office will
be closed on Monday,
May 30 in observance
of Memorial Day.

our students, faculty, alumni, and SJR families. Please
go to the school website to view the race results and
fantastic pictures posted on our Facebook page.

JUST A THOUGHT: If anyone came to
the SJR campus last Friday they would
have the opportunity to see our SJR
community in action. For Field Day and
the Family BBQ, we had parents, students,
and faculty working and enjoying themselves together.
The weather was perfect.
That evening, the community reconvened for the
annual 5K RACE. Once again, it was a joy to see so
many parents, students, faculty, and staff work together
for the good of the school. What a powerful life lesson
for our children!
Thank you to everyone who helped at either/both
event(s). Your presence made a special day even nicer!!

FOCUS ON FAITH THE MOST HOLY BODY AND BLOOD OF CHRIST . Luke 9:11b-17 Pointing to the Living Bread
Jesus provides a miraculous feeding of over five thousand with only five loaves and two fish. From
our scarcity, the Lord lavishly provides abundance. This sign points to the saving reality that we eat
and drink in the Eucharist: Jesus himself is the living bread come down from Heaven, the manna
given for our Salvation. When we receive and become the Body of Christ we are nourished to
share God’s lavish love with others!

Friday June 3 — THE MOST SACRED HEART OF JESUS
Sometimes we meet that rare person who is overflowing with goodness. He or she exudes such a genuine
love that we almost can’t believe it but do because we have been the recipient of their authentic kindness.
We long to be in their presence. How much more so with the person of Jesus. Can we ever fully realize how
immense the love of Christ is for us? In the heart of Christ we find complete mercy and total
forgiveness, immense depths of compassion for our greatest sorrow and smallest ache, careful guidance for
our spiritual path, understanding for our confusions, patience with our questions, unwavering peace for our
tense and anxious spirits, and joy-filled beauty to draw us into the consolation and assurance of God’s love.
Heart of Jesus, what a treasure I have in the riches of your unconditional love.
May my heart resound with your goodness.
