Dear Parishioners and Friends,

June is busting out all over.  As a Church, we just completed the Easter Season.  Our Parish School graduated our wonderful 8th Grade and the remaining students and staff have gone for vacation.  The sounds and smells of summer came last week as we celebrated our Parish Carnival. To everyone who was brought us to this point, we are most appreciative.  Parish LIfe is never dull and needs the minds, hands and hearts of everyone to accomplish the task at hand...that of bringing the Kingdom of God to fulfillment. 

June is traditionally the month dedicated to the Sacred Heart because the feast is celebrated the Friday after the feast of Corpus Christi....this year, June 23rd.  The Heart of Jesus is a symbol of Divine Love.  This heavenly grace can warm the coldest heart and burst open the most obstinate character.  Like the beauty of this season, opening up the senses with life, the Heart of Jesus can remedy any dysfunction and create life anew.  That is the reason behind the prayer:   "Sacred Heart of Jesus, Thy Kingdom Come."  

Allow yourself to be engulfed by the powerful heart....love....of Jesus.  Miracles await those who trust in Him.
