Happy June! I hope you had
a blessed week.
The season of Easter is over
but the commission of evan-
gelization continues on as we
live out the Paschal Mystery
(dying and rising). We return
to Ordinary Time – although
nothing is ordinary anymore. We see and experi-
ence the pandemic and its fallout; demonstra-
tions and rioting in our cities
stuns us; Pentecost Sunday
the Archbishop’s an-
nouncement challenges us
to go deeper in our under-
standing of the Church
and its role in today’s soci-
ety. In all of this we are in-
vited to look for and see
the big picture of the pub-
lic life and ministry of Christ
given to us by the evange-
list rather than seeing only
one aspect of His life (birth,
suffering, death and resur-
rection). We will use the
Gospel of Matthew to
guide us, and we will fol-
low.
Protocols
We will continue to monitor
the news and adjust ac-
cordingly using the guid-
ance of the governor, the CDC and Archdio-
cese. Please be patient and kind to each other
as we strive to keep our campus and people
safe and comfortable. See our parish website for
some photos of our church and be sure to listen
to Dr. Valentini’s short video presentation on our
protocols.
Archbishop Announces Family of Parishes Plan

to form new groupings of parishes called
“families of parishes.” This will be put into prac-

Prayer to St. Michael
Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle. Be our de-
fense against the wickedness
and snares of the devil. May
God rebuke him, we humbly
pray. And do thou, O Prince of
the Heavenly Host, by the pow-
er of God, cast into hell Satan
and all evil spirits who prowl
around the world seeking the
ruin of souls. Amen.
Faith Formation
Happy Ordinary time. Well, liturgical-
ly it might be Ordinary, but I do not
think it is “ordinary” in our every day
living. One theme we need to make
“ordinary” is “Jesus is my Savior, Jesus
I trust in you, Jesus I believe in you.”
Adult Faith formation: We will be
starting a Summer Adult Faith Formation program
on June 17. See the announcement below and
please join us..
First Holy Communion: We would like to have a
ZOOM meeting with children and parents on two
Mondays in June. June 22 at 7:00; June 29 at 7:00.
