Let our love go beyond our home into the world so that we may do our part to win other families to your Sacred Heart, thus helping us form a real community among the families of this parish and of the whole world. AMEN

CTK ORGANIZATIONAL HIGHLIGHT OF THE WEEK

Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration is the exposed presence of Jesus in the Eucharist 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In the Blessed Sacrament, the Eucharist, Christ is FULLY PRESENT to us in both DIVINITY and HUMANITY. No appointments needed. ALL may come to be with Our Lord ANYTIME. Many graces, blessings and miracles flow form Our Lord to our parish and to the world because of Eucharistic Adoration.
Jesus in the Chapel can NEVER be left alone. Our Eucharistic Adoration Chapel is able to remain open because there are scheduled adorers who choose a specific hours that they will come to pray. Adorers may choose to be scheduled:

1) Weekly,
2) On an individual basis such as:
- "share a square" with a friend
- for "snow birds" we have summer hours,
- novena of 9 weeks;

If a scheduled adorer is unable to come (ex. doctor's appointment, vacation, etc.) and
are unable to find someone to take their place, we have a list of "substitutes" for them.

"St. John Vianney saw with his very own eyes Jesus cup the face of each person who visited Him in the blessed Sacrament and give each one a tender kiss of gratitude." Excerpts from "Letters to a Brother Priest", by Rev. Fr. Vincent Martin Lucia and Rev. Msgr. Josefino Ramirez.

PIPE ORGAN PORTRAITS
We have been learning about the compound stops called "mixtures." These stops are custom-designed to offer as much variety in sound color as possible. The importance of getting the right tone quality to the ears of the listener is of prime importance to the designer and builder of organs. The Moller pipe organ at CTK will be enhanced with the addition of a 61 note, 3 rank (row of pipes). Mixture to complement the Great Chorus (used to accompany congregational singing). Next Time: The Next Step.

Please pick up your new schedule in the Ushers Room today after Mass.

MISSION CO-OP
Next Sunday a special collection will be taken for the Mission Co-Op. This year, Fr. Philip Pitya, will be speaking for the Sacred Heart Sisters of Sudan.
The Sudan is one of the African nations being devastated by a vicious civil war, between the arabicized Northern Sudanese Moslems against the Christians, and is being fought mainly in Southern Sudan. Juba, the location of the mission, is at the center of the war, with many catastrophic consequences on the communities. The communities are bombarded repeatedly, villages burned to the ground, men are killed, while young women and children are abducted and deported to face enslavement.
The people are desperate. They have lost everything, and are unable to help themselves. Humanitarian organizations are prevented from giving assistance, and the Moslem army have bombarded international relief workers as they deliver food and medicine to the starving, displaced communities. Help your brother's and sisters in faith as they struggle for survival.

A "BRAIN-STOMING" SESSION
The date for the next "Brain-Storming" meeting has been changed to Monday, June 24th at 7:00 p.m. in the Chapel Meeting Room.

1) Thank you for all those who extended help and kindness during the power outage this
spring.
2) Thank you for a beautiful healthy baby boy.

ANOTHER REASON FOR WANTING TO SPEND
1-HOUR EACH WEEK WITH JESUS IN THE BLESSED SACRAMENT:
Be a "Prayer Warrior for Peace!" Countless men throughout the ages have made many sacrifices to go to war. How few men are willing to make even a small sacrifice in order to bring about peace. There has never been a weak army that has ever won a battle against a stronger one. Evil prevails throughout the world today because those who are against God are willing to make more sacrifices than those who are for God. There is a spiritual warfare going on today between good an evil. … Who will awake from the complacency of indifference and become a soldier for Christ, a prayer warrior for peace? Who will be a man of God and take up the spiritual arms of prayer and sacrifice? "Stir into flame the gift God has bestowed upon you. The spirit God has given us is no cowardly spirit but rather one that makes us strong." (1Tim 1:6-7). Who will answer the appeal of Christ who calls out in the middle of the night. "Could you not watch one hour with me?"

CTK ORGANIZATION OF THE WEEK
RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIAION OF ADULTS (RCIA)
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is the process by which adults become members of the Roman Catholic Church. The process is concerned with the total formation of the person into believing with the Parish Community (doctrinal formation), living with the Parish Community (practical formation), praying with the Parish Community (liturgical formation) and serving with the Parish Community (apostolic formation).
RCIA is a process of welcoming adult newcomers (inquirers) into the Roman Catholic Church. It is a community journey that leads to a transformation of mind and spirit. It is a personal journey in which church members re-examine their own relationship with God.
Inquirers come with their own life experience: their parents and siblings, their education and work and their present family and relationships. They bring their own particular story - their concerns, hurts, struggles, hopes and dreams.
Inquirers come from a variety of backgrounds. The process of full initiation is adapted to meet the needs of men and women who are (1) not baptized; (2) baptized in another Christian Church but in need of further instruction and initiation; (3) baptized in the Roman Catholic Church but not evangelized or completely initiated. Full initiation is when a person has received Baptism, Confirmation and Holy Eucharist.
The RCIA sessions are currently held on Thursday evenings, during the school year. The RCIA team helps to guide, instruct and support the newcomers through their journey.
We also invite all parishioners who are interested in updating their Catholic Education to join us. For further information call Fr. David at 839-1430.

The monthly calendars are listed there, along with a number of additional attractions, including A Tour of the Church, Parish Organizations, Youth Ministry, a Memoriam to Msgr. Henry Gugino, and additional Christian Websites. Our thanks to Jim Valone who originally created our website, and has weekly maintained it to help make it as informative as it is. We thank Jim for his dedication to this ministry.

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
Registration for the Religious Education program will CLOSE on AUGUST 1ST. A $20 late fee will be incurred for any registrations received after June 17th.
Registration Letters have been mailed to families who HAVE A CHILD WHO:
Ø Is in the Grade 1 - 8 program this year and is returning to the Program next year;
Ø Is entering Grade 1 or are New to the Parish;
Ø Is attending Catholic, private or public High School, will be in Grade 9 in the fall & would like to receive Sacrament of Confirmation.
If you did not receive this mailing, contact the Rectory at 839-1430.

JUST BECAUSE SCHOOL'S OVER …
Now that the School has come to an end, and formal Religious Education is over until the fall, it is your responsibility, as a parent, to encourage and provide spiritual growth to your child during the summer months. This can be done by attending weekly Mass, receiving the sacrament of reconciliation at least once during the summer, praying before meals, praying the rosary with your family, praying morning and evening prayers, and by encouraging your child to read the Bible and reading Bible stories to your younger children. Remember: the best way to teach your children is by example. See you in Church!

A VOCATION VIEW
Let no one intimidate you. If you are being called to the priesthood or religious life have courage. The Lord is with you! If God is calling you, call Father Leon Biernat at 847-5535.

YOUTH NEWS

APPROPRIATE DRESS FOR CHURCH
Most people have good common sense about what is appropriate dress for various occasions. For example, they wouldn't wear shorts or a T-shirt to a wedding or funeral, or suit and tie to a beach party; they would dress differently if they were going to eat at McDonald's than if they were dining at the Ritz Carlton. Our sense of what is appropriate dress for different occasions, stems from our appreciation of the meaning of the event and of our respect for the persons with whom and the place where it is celebrated. When we gather together with our parish family to celebrate Sunday Eucharist, let us realize that we come together to worship our God by celebrating His presence in Word, in Sacrament and in each other, and let us dress appropriately.

FAVORS GRANTED THROUGH PERPETUAL EUCHARISTIC ADORATION
The Adorers of the Perpetual Adoration wish to thank Jesus for the following favors:
1) Thank you for helping make my marriage sweet again. My husband is no longer
drinking;
2) Thank you for answering my prayers to be able to use my career for God's will.

ANOTHER REASON FOR WANTING TO SPEND
1-HOUR EACH WEEK WITH JESUS IN THE BLESSED SACRAMENT:
Would You Consider Nighttime Adoration? Our Lady of Fatima said that there are more souls going to hell because there is no one to pray and make sacrifices for them. The sacrifice you make by spending an hour with Jesus in the middle of the night will save many souls from hell and bring many souls to heaven. The love you give to Jesus in this special sacrifice will win pardon and forgiveness for those who do not love Him at all. The value of your sacrifice is expressed in the Reparation Prayer of Fatima: "My God, I believe, I adore, I trust, I hope and I love thee. I beg pardon for all those who do not believe, do not adore, do not trust, do not hope and do not love Thee."

WHEN YOU SPEAK, WE LISTEN!
We are anxious to hear your voice to tell us of the needs of our neighbors. We will try to alleviate this immediate need for food, medicine, etc. Almsgiving is but one of many expressions of charity; informing the St. Vincent de Paul Society of another's needs to another expression of love. Call the Rectory at 839-1430 and leave a message for the St. Vincent de Paul Society if you need help.

HOLY NAME SOCIETY
A group of men in our parish gather together whenever a loved one is taken from our midst. These men will recite the rosary at the wake of male members of the family. If your family would like to receive the blessings connected with this ministry please consider it a part of your future plans. Upon the death of a male member of your family, if you would like the rosary recited at their wake, kindly alert one of the parish priests, the Rectory Office, or the funeral director who will in turn notify our group. Past experiences have proven most comforting for the family.

FAVORS GRANTED THROUGH PERPETUAL EUCHARISTIC ADORATION
The Adorers of the Perpetual Adoration wish to thank Jesus for the following favors:
1) Thank you for delivering me from a dangerous situation.
2) Thank you for a successful year in school.

ANOTHER REASON FOR WANTING TO SPEND
1-HOUR EACH WEEK WITH JESUS IN THE BLESSED SACRAMENT:
Is Jesus important enough to you to set aside one special hour each week to be with Him? Just one hour, once a week, is all that He is asking. This is a simple matter of putting first things first. "In everything you do, put God first, and He will direct you and crown your efforts with success." (Proverb 3:6)
Because people can't see Jesus, they take His love and Presence in the Blessed Sacrament for granted. People are hesitant in making a commitment for a specific hour because they let everything else come before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.
Your faith will make this commitment easy! "Faith is confident assurance concerning what we hope for, and conviction about things we do not see." (Hebrew 11:11)

A VOCATION VIEW
Anyone who does not accept the cross is not worthy of Jesus. Are we willing to embrace the cross and follow after him? If God is calling you, call Father Leon Biernat at 847-5535.

CTK SCHOOL
· We have a few openings in our Pre-School Program for 3 and 4 year olds and various grades for September, 2002. If interested call the Rectory at 839-1430, and we will forward your message to the school administrators.
