The Most Holy Body & Blood of Christ
As our world faces so
much turmoil and change,
it is now more important
than ever to remember
who God is, who we are
and where we are going.
It is easy to get distracted
and lose focus, especially
when we are being pulled
in so many directions.
We can not only lose
sight of God but one
another. Maintaining our
well developed and
mature relationships with God and one another is
essential to continuing to live healthy, happy, and focused
lives. In a message to young people, Pope Benedict XVI
said, “the happiness you are seeking, the happiness you
have a right to enjoy has a name and a face: it is Jesus of
Nazareth, hidden in the Eucharist.” Regardless of how the
particulars of life change over time, human beings are still
hard-wired to seek the fullness of life and happiness. How
we embark on this journey and what we choose along the
way will indicate whether we meet success.
We will begin in the Church at 3:00 pm,

Interested in becoming
Catholic?
WELCOME TO THE FAMILY!
Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, is the
RCIA for me? It is if you are a person who
has never been Baptized, Confirmed, or
received First Eucharist;
if you are a person who was Baptized,
but not Confirmed and/or did not
receive First Eucharist;
if you have been a member of another
faith community and now wish to
discern your call to the Catholic faith
Parishioners: Perhaps you or someone you
know is considering becoming Catholic,
but is unsure how to get started. Or,
perhaps you feel God is calling you to help
someone else consider Catholicism by
being sponsor.
For more information, please contact
Deacon Kevin & Rhonda Heim at 274-4321

OUR PARISH COMMUNITY
IS IN NEED OF LECTORS
Lectors bring the living Word of God to the liturgical
assembly, and through them God speaks to the
gathered faithful. The Word of God is not merely read
during the liturgy, it is proclaimed. Proclamation is a
special ministry which presupposes faith and also rouses
faith in those who hear the Word proclaimed. When the
word is proclaimed in the Church and put into living
practice, it enlightens the faithful through the working
of the Holy Spirit and draws them into the entire
mystery of the Lord as a reality to be lived.
We are looking for volunteers to serve as Lectors. We
are especially in need at the 5:00 pm Saturday evening
Mass and at the 12:00 pm Mass on Sunday.
If you are discerning a call to Lector or have any
questions, please contact Deacon Kevin & Rhonda Heim
at rsheim@prodigy.net or at (515) 274-4321.
