from the voices <strong>of</strong> the children<br />
The children have shared these “Good Deeds for God”, and they<br />
are exactly as the children presented them. Regrettably, space<br />
does not permit us to share all <strong>of</strong> the “deeds” submitted.<br />
Loving, caring, giving and forgiving.<br />
I made a healthy choice at school lunch<br />

FROM THE PASTOR ...<br />
My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,<br />
Each year through her <strong>Sacred</strong> Liturgy, holy Mother Church commemorates the mystery <strong>of</strong> our Lord’s redemptive Incarnation from<br />
beginning to end. From Advent to Easter we celebrate the mysteries in the life <strong>of</strong> our Sovereign Lord as He dwelt among us, submitting<br />
His divine and eternal self to the frailty <strong>of</strong> our human flesh; and from Pentecost to the Feast <strong>of</strong> Christ the King, we begin the yearly celebration<br />
<strong>of</strong> the life <strong>of</strong> the Church, the Spouse <strong>of</strong> Christ who has received the fullness <strong>of</strong> His merits and graces to <strong>of</strong>fer them to her children<br />
in every age.<br />
Therefore we see that from December to <strong>June</strong> we reflect upon the Life <strong>of</strong> our Lord and from <strong>June</strong> to December we reflect upon the Life<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Church. At the very center <strong>of</strong> this, or cor, is the heart <strong>of</strong> the Liturgical Year. The month <strong>of</strong> <strong>June</strong> is most fittingly consecrated to the<br />
<strong>Sacred</strong> <strong>Heart</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Jesus</strong>. This <strong>Heart</strong> is the object <strong>of</strong> divine charity, containing within It the infinite love <strong>of</strong> God for fallen mankind. This love<br />
created us, this love merited us salvation, and this love redeems us by the Church.<br />
This <strong>June</strong> marks the one year anniversary <strong>of</strong> our new parish dedicated to the <strong>Sacred</strong> <strong>Heart</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Jesus</strong>. In this short time we have received<br />
so many blessings from the infinite treasury <strong>of</strong> our Lord’s divine <strong>Heart</strong>. In thanksgiving for these bountiful blessings and to give glory to<br />
Almighty God, our parish began a Novena to the <strong>Sacred</strong> <strong>Heart</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Jesus</strong> this past Friday. Following a custom established at St. Margaret<br />
Mary <strong>Parish</strong>, we will have the Novena following our Friday 12:10 Mass. We invite you to participate in this beautiful prayer. We will also<br />
begin home Consecration to the <strong>Sacred</strong> <strong>Heart</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Jesus</strong>. You will find more information about this religious ceremony on page 6 <strong>of</strong> this<br />
bulletin.<br />
To conclude this month, we will have a Solemn Celebration <strong>of</strong> the Feast <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Sacred</strong> <strong>Heart</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Jesus</strong>, the Patronal Feast <strong>of</strong> our <strong>Parish</strong>.<br />
This celebration will be at all <strong>of</strong> the Masses the weekend <strong>of</strong> July second and third, culminating with a Solemn High Mass in the Extraordinary<br />
Form at five o’clock in the evening on Sunday the third followed by a procession and benediction <strong>of</strong> the Most Blessed Sacrament.<br />
Let us rejoice in the Bountiful Love found in His Most <strong>Sacred</strong> <strong>Heart</strong><br />
and be thankful for His many blessing to our parish and to each and every one <strong>of</strong> us.<br />
I would like to take this opportunity to remind you <strong>of</strong> the Solemn Procession <strong>of</strong> the Blessed Sacrament following our Mass at eleven thirty<br />
on the Feast <strong>of</strong> Corpus Christi (<strong>June</strong> twenty-sixth). This was a wonderful custom <strong>of</strong> St. Gregory the Great brought to our new parish.<br />
We hope that many <strong>of</strong> our children <strong>of</strong> this year’s First Communion and Confirmation Classes, our Altar Servers, Knights <strong>of</strong> Columbus,<br />
Women’s Guild and the many other groups <strong>of</strong> our parish will be able to participate.<br />
I would like to congratulate our young people who received the Sacrament <strong>of</strong> Confirmation from Bishop Lennon last Sunday. Let us<br />
remember them in our prayers as they strive to live out the Faith in their daily lives.<br />
Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to ask all <strong>of</strong> you to remember Father Winkel in your prayers. Father is celebrating forty years<br />
<strong>of</strong> Priestly Service to the Church. It is a blessing to have him at our parish.<br />
May God’s blessings be yours this Easter Season.<br />
Father Ireland<br />
Children’s Scripture Corner<br />
Before <strong>Jesus</strong> went back to heaven, he gave his friends a very special job - to share the good news! <strong>Jesus</strong> came so that the whole world<br />
could be saved, and He did not want anyone to be left out. Now it's your turn to tell your friends about <strong>Jesus</strong>, so they can go to heaven,<br />
too.<br />
Prayer: “<strong>Jesus</strong>, show me how to tell my friends about you.”<br />
Something to Draw: Draw a picture <strong>of</strong> yourself telling a friend about <strong>Jesus</strong>.<br />
Mission for the Week: Invite a friend over to play. Ask your friend if she or he would like to come to church with you.<br />

ASCENSION OF THE LORD<br />
MASS INTENTIONS ... REFLECTION ON THE SCRIPTURES ...<br />
THIS WEEK’S READINGS ...<br />
The Broadway musical, Spider-Man, Turn Off the Dark, is<br />
filled with high-flying aerial stunts that astounded audiences when<br />
they worked correctly. A significant part <strong>of</strong> the buzz surrounding<br />
the production, with its music by Bono and Edge, comes from the<br />
fact that the spectacular aerial displays don't always work. Actors<br />
have ended up being suspended in midair while stage crews hastened<br />
to untangle cables and pulleys. Sometimes, instead <strong>of</strong> Spiderman<br />
flying through the air with the greatest <strong>of</strong> ease, he ends<br />
up hanging helplessly above the stage.<br />
From Icarus to NASA, people have imagined ways <strong>of</strong> leaving<br />
the earth. Watching birds soar al<strong>of</strong>t has provoked our imaginations<br />
into thinking that we too could one day lift ourselves to the<br />
heavens. The Scriptures for the feast <strong>of</strong> the Ascension leave us<br />
with the same vision as <strong>Jesus</strong> was lifted up in a cloud. Two men<br />
in white ask the apostles, "Men <strong>of</strong> Galilee, why are you standing<br />
there looking at the sky?"<br />
As the Gospel for today reminds us, we are given a great<br />
commission: to make disciples <strong>of</strong> all nations, baptizing people and<br />
teaching them to observe what <strong>Jesus</strong> has commanded. We are<br />
not spectators like the audience at a Broadway musical, looking<br />
up to see what might happen. We are, instead, actors, taking our<br />
roles in the great story <strong>of</strong> salvation history. The commission <strong>Jesus</strong><br />
gives in the Gospel is not only addressed to the eleven disciples<br />
who gathered with him on a mountain in Galilee. That commission<br />
is given to all <strong>of</strong> us, to go out into the world and to make disciples.<br />
Much <strong>of</strong> the language during this Easter season has an upward<br />
movement. Now Christ has commanded us to lift up others so<br />
they may be raised to new life in him.<br />

Ascension <strong>of</strong> the Lord<br />
ADORATION CORNER ...<br />
Worthy reception <strong>of</strong> the Body and Blood <strong>of</strong> our<br />
Lord is a foretaste and pledge <strong>of</strong> Heaven. We<br />
should joyfully and fervently advance in awe towards<br />
the altar when we receive our Lord and<br />
Savior. The Eucharist is continuously adorable—during Mass and<br />
outside <strong>of</strong> Mass in the Adoration Chapel through Spiritual Communion.<br />
We are drawn closer to <strong>Jesus</strong> by spending time with Him as we<br />
sincerely seek to be changed into His image and likeness. The<br />
cherished practice <strong>of</strong> Spiritual Communion invites the Lord into<br />
our souls.<br />
Let us participate in our Corpus Christi Procession on <strong>June</strong> 26<br />
following the 11:30 a.m. Mass.

SACRED HEART OF JESUS<br />
HOME ENTHRONEMENT AND<br />
ATHLETIC CLUB NEWS ...<br />
FAMILY CONSECRATION<br />
What is the Enthronement Ceremony?<br />
The Enthronement ceremony is fittingly led by a priest. Having<br />
blessed the image <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Sacred</strong> <strong>Heart</strong>, he carries it to the place<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Enthronement, accompanied by all the members <strong>of</strong> the<br />
household, carrying lighted candles. He places the image in its<br />
place <strong>of</strong> honor, while the whole household then recites the Litany<br />
<strong>of</strong> the most <strong>Sacred</strong> <strong>Heart</strong> and the Act <strong>of</strong> Consecration as a family.<br />
The intercession <strong>of</strong> the Immaculate <strong>Heart</strong> <strong>of</strong> Mary, Queen <strong>of</strong> the<br />
family, is then invoked. Afterwards, the priest blesses the family.<br />
How to prepare for the Enthronement<br />
The day <strong>of</strong> the Enthronement should be one <strong>of</strong> the outstanding<br />
events <strong>of</strong> the family life. The better and more serious the<br />
preparation for the Enthronement, the greater will be the<br />
blessings on the family coming from this important occasion.<br />
The spiritual preparation may consist in making a novena by reciting<br />
together a a family the Litany <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Sacred</strong> <strong>Heart</strong> and a beautiful<br />
preparatory prayer. It is also highly recommended that each<br />
member <strong>of</strong> the family receive the Sacraments <strong>of</strong> Penance and the<br />
Holy Eucharist during the novena.<br />
The family should try to obtain as beautiful a picture, an icon, or<br />
a statue <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Sacred</strong> <strong>Heart</strong> as possible. The place <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Enthronement should be a central place in the home, a<br />
permanent place <strong>of</strong> beauty and dignity which should reflect<br />
the great reverence and love which we have for Our Lord.<br />
Below the place <strong>of</strong> honor reserved for the statue or picture, a<br />
“throne” or “altar”, that is to say, a table (or perhaps the mantelpiece)<br />
covered with a white cloth, should be beautifully decorated<br />
with candles and flowers. The greater the solemnity, the<br />
better. It is good to invite relatives and friends to participate in<br />
the ceremony, which may be followed by some refreshments and<br />
social time allowing others to learn more about the importance <strong>of</strong><br />
this devotion for a holy, happy family life.<br />
The <strong>Sacred</strong> <strong>Heart</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Jesus</strong> Athletic Club will hold an open meeting<br />
on Tuesday, <strong>June</strong> 7, at 7:30 p.m. in the PFC. All parents <strong>of</strong><br />
athletes and other parishioners are welcome to attend.<br />
Topics for discussion will include a wrap up <strong>of</strong> this school year's<br />
athletic activities and planning for the <strong>2011</strong> Fall Sports season.<br />
We are also looking for any interested parents and/or parishioners<br />
who may want to get involved with the Athletic Club and <strong>of</strong>fer their<br />
support to our athletes.<br />
