Stewardship Message When we look at the Tabernacle which is in every Catholic Church throughout the world, we know that Christ is present, but the Father and the Holy Spirit are as well. They all dwell in heaven which means that our Tabernacle might be called a “gateway to heaven.” Do we think of all this when we come into the church, when we attend Mass? We should. The Holy Trinity is present there every hour of every day and every day of every month and every year. That is one of the reasons we need to attend Mass — to understand and celebrate the Holy Trinity.

Reflec"on of the Week

Can you iden!fy the presence of

God in the course of your life?

Please Reflect and Pray the June 3 Collect

for the upcoming week’s Liturgy prior to

a#ending Mass.

O God, who in this wonderful Sacrament have left us a memorial of your Passion, grant us, we pray, so to revere the sacred mysteries of your Body and Blood that we may always experience in ourselves the fruits of your redemption. Who live and reign with God the Father in the unity of the Holy spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
