Dear Brothers and Sisters:
Earlier this month, the Bishops of the United States held
their Spring General Assembly meeting, and one issue
on their agenda captured the majority of the media cov-
erage. The Bishops voted to proceed in drafting a docu-
ment addressing what they are calling “Eucharistic Co-
herence.” I wanted to briefly touch on what they mean by
this phrase.
In a recent article in the National Catholic Register, publisher Michael
Warsaw explained it very succinctly: “Eucharistic coherence doesn’t
apply only in the case of abortion, even though it’s especially salient in
the context of this preeminent moral issue of our time. Eucharistic co-
herence is not primarily a question of whether…any politician should
receive Holy Communion. It poses a question of truth and fidelity each
and every communicant needs to ask themselves, each and every time
they present themselves to receive the Sacred Host.” Warsaw goes on
to quote Mother Angelica, the founder of EWTN, who wrote the follow-
ing in a meditation during a Holy Hour: “Lord God, if I truly appreciated
the majestic humility of the Eucharist, if I fully grasped the opportunity
to participate in Your very nature, it would change my life forever.”
The bottom line is that receiving Communion is not only a recognition of
the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist, but also a desire to em-
brace and live the whole of Christ’s teachings handed down through
the Church. Any other argument, from the Bishops or anyone else,
would be dishonest.
God Bless You!

St. Mary’s Parish Office will be closed
Monday, July 5th for the 4th of
July holiday.
Last weekend, Saturday, June 19th and Sunday, June 20th was St. Mary’s
Food Offering Weekend, 945 pounds of food was donated by St. Mary’s Par-
ish Family. Thank you to all who were part of this sharing.
Our Hospitality Campaign is ongoing. We are halfway to our goal of
$60,000. The new downstairs restroom that will be located in the
social hall is for the convenience of those participating in events
downstairs such as funeral and wedding receptions and other parish
gatherings. It is also for the security of our little ones attending our
daycare. Our tile in some areas downstairs is just plain worn out and
needs to be replaced. If you have not yet given to this campaign we
ask that you would prayerfully consider a donation today. To those of
you that have already donated, we thank you for your generosity.
Summer is here, It’s warm/hot. Our children are out biking, walking, skate
boarding and all. Please be aware of them and drive safely for them and
for you. Be Alert!

One of the tenants of living a grateful and generous lifestyle is
giving without expecting anything in return. It is important that
we not only grow, nurture and share our gifts; but that we also
teach our children and encourage others to do the same. This is
the communal aspect.�

Attention Catholic Women! Take a little time away for yourself, to
nourish your faith life and enjoy fellowship with other women of faith!

“A Schoolteacher injured his back and
had to wear a plaster cast around his
upper body. It fit under his shirt and
was not noticeable. On the first day of
the semester, still with the cast under
his shirt, he found himself assigned to
the toughest students in school.
Walking confidently into the rowdy
classroom, the teacher opened the
window as wide as possible and bus-
ied himself at his desk.
When a strong breeze made his tie
flap, he took a stapler and stapled the
tie to his chest. Discipline was not a
problem from that day on.”

Lincoln Hoaglund
A favorite memory of mine was playing Star Wars with my
friends every day at recess on the playground.
What I am most grateful for at Holy Family-St. Mary’s Catholic
School is my friends and teachers because they help me when
I most need it.
Something that makes my class special is getting into off topic
conversations in the middle of class, which is always awe-
some, but sometimes drives our teachers crazy!!
Holy Family-St. Mary’s School is a good school. My advice for everyone in this
school is you shouldn’t want school to be canceled because of a snowstorm. En-
joy everyday, because pretty soon you will be graduating and moving on. I’m going
to miss this school, and I’d like to say a goodbye to the best school ever! �
I am a Disciple of Christ�
Those who hate me for no reason �
are more numerous than the hairs of my head. �
My enemies tell lies against me; �
they are strong and want to kill me. �
� � They made me give back things I did not steal.
� � I am Lincoln Hoagland, and I am a Disciple of Christ.
This verse tells me that I should keep my faith in God no ma�er what people do to
me. It says that life will have many obstacles in my way. Some of the obstacles will
not be fair. This is when I need to ask God for help. He will help me get through hard
�mes. He will also help me help others. I try to stand up and help other people who
are ge ng picked on whenever I can. That's because God gave me that courage. If
people are mean to me, I should go to God and ask for help.
One �me, I saw a young boy ge ng picked on. I thought to myself, I don't like it
when people pick on me, so I should help other people that are ge ng picked on. I
wanted to help, but I was scared to. I prayed for God to give me courage to stand up
for him. I did stand up for the boy, and it felt good a$er I helped him.
Standing up ma�ers, and we should try to do it whenever we can. I try to help when
I can, because it ma�ers to me.
� � I am Lincoln Hoagland, and I am a Disciple of Christ. �
