We listen to the story of the renewal of the old covenant, which Moses sealed by splashing the blood of animals on the altar of sacrifice, as well as on the people. Jesus, whose blood is the blood of the new covenant, shed that precious blood on the cross, saving us from sin and promising us everlasting life. Blood is the life source that courses through our bodies. The precious blood of Christ is the life source for our spirits. Today may we, like the psalmist, offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the Lord, whose Body and Blood strengthen us to bring the Good News to everyone we meet. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

4 First The Most Sunday Holy of Body Advent and - December Blood of Christ 3, 2017 June 3, 2018 Cheers! As you read this on this first Sunday of June, we are down to just 19 days until we move into the new church building -- and only two more weekends here in the Bishop Gorman cafeteria! This has been a long time coming, but we are finally almost here! Here s some information about the Dedication Mass: We are in need of additional liturgical ministers as we move into our new church: The Mass is scheduled for Friday night, June 22, at 6:00 p.m. Bishop George Leo Thomas will be the presider at the Mass. Since the Mass will be about two hours long, it might not be the best event for little children. They are welcome, of course, but just a word to the wise. We have invited different groups of people who will have reserved seating: all the priests of the Diocese of Las Vegas (and a few from California); all the deacons and wives from the Diocese of Las Vegas; all the religious sisters and brothers from the Diocese; personnel from our architectural firm, JVC Architects; personnel from our construction firm, Bentar Development; major donors from outside the parish, including some of the suppliers who have donated materials and/or labor to our construction; our staff and families, and others. Those groups listed above might account for several hundred persons, but the church will seat 1650! However, I still advise that you arrive early so that you can have a decent parking space and a good seat in the church. Door will open at 5:00 p.m. Parking will be in three locations: our new parking lot with driveway access from Russell (NO left turn when travelling west on Russell; you must make a U-turn at Mesa Park!) and the old driveway from Mesa Park; there will also be parking in the Gorman Faculty parking lot (adjacent to our new parking lot with auto and pedestrian access to our new parking lot); and finally, there will be parking in the Gorman Tennis Court parking lot with entrance on Mesa Park. Page 4 BAPTISM COORDINATORS A Baptism Coordinator arrives 30 minutes before Mass on an assigned day to meet the family, check their documents and briefly cover what will happen during the baptism (a refresher). HOSPITALITY MINISTERS We are looking for friendly volunteers of all ages to welcome and direct parishioners and visitors as they arrive for weekend Masses. EUCHARISTIC MINISTERS Confirmed Catholics in good standing are welcome to be a part of this ministry. ALTAR LINENS We will need additional people to launder and iron our Mass linens on a rotating basis. Upcoming Training Sessions (Only required to attend one) If you would like to join one of the below ministries, you are also welcome to attend one of the training sessions: READERS June 9th 1pm-2pm or June 19th -7pm EUCHARISTIC MINISTERS June 12th -8pm or June 16th 8:30am- 10:30am HOSPITALITY June 13th -7pm or June 16th 11am-12pm BAPTISM COORDINATORS June 11th 6:00-7:30 PM or June 16th 1:00-2:30 PM ALTAR SERVERS June 10th 11am- 12pm, June 12th 3pm-4pm, June 14th 10am-11am, or June 16th 9am-10am
