May God bless you! Gracias por su generosidad. Dios los bendiga! Retired Religious Sunday June 17, 2012 At present, there is a special need of our local diocesan retired priests. The Diocese of San Bernardino has 45 retired priests; 18 of them are over 80 years of age and of these, 10 are more than 85 years old. Another 6 will join the ranks of the retired within 3 years. All of these priests have served in our parishes. Many are known to you and some still help by celebrating Mass on the weekends. Unfortunately, Social Security and the monthly pension often do not satisfy fully these priests financial needs. These men worked in years of very low salaries and were not able to build up sufficient Social Security for present day needs such as longevity, ongoing health care, aging needs, housing and inflationary costs. The growing demands are stretching our resources to the limits. The purpose of this special collection for Retired Diocesan Priests is to both directly assist Retired Diocesan Priests in need and to continue building our endowments to provide for future needs of the retired priests. Thank you for your generosity in this important appeal for help.

St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church Page 6 June 10, 2012 TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION A new name for this feast, long known as Corpus Christi or "Body of Christ," points to an important recovery of Communion from the shared chalice, the Precious Blood, in the Roman Catholic liturgy. For many centuries, only the priest received from the chalice. Now, over the last forty years, the cup has been offered more frequently to the faithful. Sadly, perhaps because it is not offered at all Masses, or because people are free to pass by the offered cup, it can be seen by some as a "take it or leave it" option. Some important meanings surface, however, when we drink from the common cup, such as our desire to participate in the pouring out of Christ's love. Bread is the staff of life, eaten by necessity even in times of pain. Wine, on the other hand, is the mark of festivity, a pledge of joy, a sign of unity between our altar table and the banquet feast of heaven. The center of the Gospel today is Jesus speaking of the pouring out of his blood and his offer of a cup of blessing to be shared as a sign of his love. There is no better response than to take and drink and no better way to mark this feast. James Field, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.

Just a friendly reminder that we are beginning the Summer Mass Schedule. The change of Masses will be only on Sundays: 8:00am & 10:00am. We will resume our regular Mass schedule in the Fall. Have a great Summer! SACRIFICE Today the Church focuses on the Eucharist. Today's readings remind us how connected to ancient blood sacrifices we are when offering our unbloody sacrifice. The reading from Exodus describes a solemn ritual designed so the Israelites would never forget their covenant with God. The reading from the Letter to the Hebrews turns us from those ancient animal sacrifices, the first efforts to worship the living God. Our sacrifice is the body and blood of the Son of God. Because of Christ we have a new covenant. The Gospel from Mark retells the establishment of that covenant, the familiar story of the Last Supper. Juxtaposed with the story of animal sacrifice as it is here, we are challenged to listen with new attention, to remember the great price paid for our salvation. Jesus gave his body and every drop of his blood for us. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.
