MARIAN CONSECRATION On June 17, the parish of Sts. Simon & Jude, and the clergy and
parishioners will be invited to make a public consecration or

cession of our Lady. Many parishes, including Most Precious
Blood, have done this, as have a growing number of dioceses
around the country.
We are happy to welcome Bishop Frank Caggiano who will offi-
cially Consecrate the Parish of Sts. Simon & Jude to the Immacu-
late Heart of Mary this Sunday. Join us at the 10:15am Mass fol-
lowed by a reception in the Lower Church for this special cele-
bration.

FUNERAL SEMINAR All are invited to a free pizza and pre-planning Funeral Seminar
on Tuesday, June 19th at 6pm at Cusimano & Russo Funeral
Home. As we all know, making funeral arrangements after a
loved one’s passing can be one of the most difficult experience in
life. However, there is another way. By pre-arranging your own
funeral or a loved one’s, in advance has tremendous emotional,
financial and long term benefits. Join us for a complimentary
pizza and a “light” yet informative 30 minute presentation that
affects us all. This seminar is hosted by Manager, Michael Riz-
zotto at Cusimano & Russo Funeral Home on 2005 West 6th
Street.

WE WALK BY FAITH Today St. Paul tells the Church of Corinth that we walk by faith and not by sight. What exactly does
he mean? We usually say that seeing is believing, but St Paul is telling us that our faith is what
should guide us along in our life. We know the promises of God. No matter how dreary a situation
may look or how hopeless things seem, when we have real faith we know that it all will work out
for the good.
DO YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE RIGHT?
Vacation season is upon us. Often as people start taking vacations, they also take vacation from God. Getting up to go to Mass is replaced
by getting up for the beach or park. You can find Catholic churches anywhere in the world. A simple phone call or visit to a website can
help you find a Mass close by and convenient – all it takes is a little planning. This summer make an effort to work God into your vaca-
tion schedule. After all you wouldn’t want him taking a vacation from you!
ST. PAULINUS OF NOLA June 22 we celebrate the feast day of St Paulinus of Nola. He was born to a wealthy family who was married and have a noble lifestyle.
After his son died he and his wife converted and gave away their money to the poor. They lived a life of prayer and austerity. He was
forced into becoming a Bishop of Nola, in Italy. He dedicated himself to helping the sick and the poor. In Williamsburg during the Feast
of Our Lady of Mt Carmel, there is a celebration commemorating when Paulinus offered himself to pirates in exchange for a grieving
woman’s son. His charity and self-sacrifice is an example to all of us.
DEDICATED TO OUR BLESSED MOTHER At the 10:15 Mass this weekend our parish is being consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Bishop Frank Caggiano, who is a son
of our parish, will be celebrating the special Mass. Let’s pray that the hearts of our parishioners become like the heart of our Blessed
Mother.
REGISTRATION It’s never too early to plan ahead. Registration for the 2018/19 school year will be on-going throughout the summer. We will be complet-
ing registration on Wednesdays from 3-8 PM. Please contact the office for information

THE CHURCH, MOTHER AND TEACHER
One of the greatest struggles we have as Catholics (and really
just as people/human beings in general) is submitting to a
higher authority. It’s easy to make Jesus the Lord of our Sun-
day mornings. It’s a lot harder to make him the Lord of our
life. Or, for many of us it may not be difficult to make Jesus
the Lord of our life, but we struggle when it comes to submit-
ting to the teachings of the Church.
I think the root of this struggle comes from focusing too much
on the human dimension of the Church and not enough on the
spiritual dimension. The Church is the body of Jesus here on
Earth, and speaks with the authority of God. Do we believe
that in our hearts? It can be hard, especially when we see the
brokenness in the people leading us. Because of the human
dimension of the church, she is filled with scandal. But if we
look at our history, even when we had the most corrupt and
broken people leading her, the teachings of the Church re-
mained true and God raised great saints to help guide her
through those moments.
In today’s world we see great waves of people rebel against
the Church. Some Catholics blame the Enlightenment, where
we saw a number of philosophers take a stand against the
church. Others, the Protestant Reformation, saying that it was
a slippery slope. Still others blame the cultural revolutions of
the 60s and 70s. Though these all certainly had their part to
play in the breakdown of our faith in church authority, I think
it boils down to something simpler: human nature. And people
have been rebelling against the church since it’s very founda-
tion.
None of us like being told what we can and can’t do. If given
an excuse (it’s a human institution, it’s outdated, etc.) we’ll
take it if it means we can do what we want, when we want.
The truth is that these excuses simply don’t hold up. We act
like we’re in this great age of freedom from church authority,
but the fact is people have always been making these excuses.
It’s nothing new, or “enlightened”. And through every attack
both internal and external the Church has survived, for not
even the “gates of hell” shall prevail against it.
At the end of the day, we either have to accept the Church is a
divine institution as much as it is human, and accept it’s teach-
ings which have been passed down for nearly two thousand
years, or we don’t. If we accept that Jesus Christ started the
Church and promised the Holy Spirit to guide it, then we have
to follow what the Church teaches. Even though this is diffi-
cult, we should rejoice in it. As I wrote a few weeks ago, G.K.
Chesterton once said that he didn’t need a religion to tell him
he was right and wrong where he already knew he was right
and wrong. He needed a religion to tell him where he was
wrong where he thought he was right. If only all of us could
have that level of humility and faith! And this isn’t a blind
acceptance of everything the Church teaches, but rather taking
it into ourselves and wrestling with it, seeking to understand
why the Church teaches what she does.
The Catechism speaks of adopting a filial spirit towards the
Church. This means that we ought to see ourselves as sons
and daughters of the Church. We look to the Church as we
would to a loving mother, at times maybe disappointed be-
cause we see her as an authoritarian figure telling us what we
can and can’t do, yet with the understanding that she is telling
it to us out of a deep love for us. When we approach the
church’s teachings with that understanding, it becomes easier
for us to accept. Though there is much brokenness to be found
at times within the hierarchy of the church, we are not obedi-
ent to the individual leaders but to the fullest aspect of the
church, trusting that at times there may be individuals who
lead us astray or fail in their call to love, when we look at the
whole picture we are given a full expression of love and the
life we are called to lead.
