Dear Parishioners,
Summer is here! For many reasons during the summer—the weather, an opportunity for vacation, summer work
schedules—the pace of life slows just a bit. So, maybe this
summer is the season to do something additional to enrich our
spiritual lives. I encourage you to consider coming to daily
Mass, spending some time in adoration of the Most Blessed
Sacrament, finding some quiet time for prayer at home, reading
a good spiritual book, especially the Bible. I would recommend any of Jacques Philippe’s recent publications, especially
Time for God.
A farewell for Father Angelo Hernandez will take
place next Sunday, June 12, 2016, after the 12:30 PM Mass in
Spanish. Everyone is invited to a reception in Sister Cities
Park, directly across the street from the front entrance to the
Cathedral Basilica. We again extend to Father Hernandez our
prayers and gratitude for his priestly ministry here at the Cathedral Parish over the last three years. We assure him of our
prayers as he assumes a new assignment at the Holy Innocents
Parish in Philadelphia. I hope you can join us at this reception.
June is the month for Baccalaureate Masses at the Cathedral Basilica. More than half of our Archdiocesan High
Schools and some of our private Catholic High Schools come
to the Cathedral Basilica for the celebration of Mass for graduating seniors. These are festive occasions for students, faculty
and families of each of the High Schools. Let us keep our
graduates in our prayers during these days as they mark this
milestone in their young lives. Let us ask the Lord to keep
them faithful to him and bless them as they take their next steps
into their futures.
This year we will observe our parish feast day on Sunday, June 26, 2016. This is the Sunday closest to the Solemnity
of Saints Peter and Paul which is observed on June 29. Once
again, we will have the Mass of Saints Peter and Paul on Sunday with a reception for our parishioners and visitors afterward
in Sister Cities Park. Please mark your calendars. More information will be in the Parish Bulletin next Sunday.
The second collection at Mass next Sunday will be to
assist the poor and homeless in the neighborhood of the Cathedral Parish. Thank you so very much for all of your goodness
and generosity to the Cathedral Parish in so many ways and to
the Catholic Charities Appeal.
God bless you,
Father Dennis Gill

REFLEXION
¡Levántate!
Damos gracias a Dios si en momentos de angustia y aflicción hay alguien a nuestro lado que nos susurra: “¡Arriba,
levántate! Hay tantas cosas por las que vale la pena vivir…” Damos también gracias a Dios, si nosotros mismos podemos decir a alguien que se siente derrotado en
la vida: “¡Aúpa, arriba! ¡A vivir de nuevo!” --- Aquí
está ahora Jesús con nosotros, en la eucaristía, y nos dice: “¡A ustedes se lo digo, levántense! ¡Vivan! ¡Vivan mi
vida, para Dios y los unos para los otros!” --- Abramos
nuestro corazón a su palabra de vida.

Grieving Children. Thursday, June 9, 2016,
Evangelization Training Camp Coming in August!
10:00-11:30 AM and 7:00-8:30 PM at 2 locations.
Want to learn more about how to talk about your faith with
family members, co-workers, friends, and fellow parishioners? Want to deepen your own prayer life and learn
how to pray so that it truly changes your life?
Come to the Evangelization Training Camp this summer at
Malvern Retreat House on August 8-12. The ETC is hosted by our friends at The Evangelical Catholic and is 5 days
of spiritual growth accompanied by the best and most practical evangelization training tailored to your unique ministry or apostolate.
Children who have lost a grandparent, parent or sibling
certainly grieve, but their grief often looks different than
adult grief. They may say that they feel fine, but their
schoolwork might suffer, or they may regress in behavior,
or even start having physical symptoms such as stomach
aches. Come and hear how caring adults can help children
cope with grief.
Location 1: Mary, Mother of the Redeemer, North Wales,
PA, Parish Center Conference Room 10:00-11:30 AM.
Location 2: St. Stanislaus Parish Center, Lansdale 7:008:30 pm. No Fee, no registration necessary.

The celebration of the Sacrament of Baptism is the doorway to the Christian life and to all the
other Sacraments. As such, preparation of the parents and for the Baptism itself deserve very
special attention. The celebration of Baptism at the Cathedral Parish takes place on the first
Sunday of each month at 12:30 PM after the 11:00 AM Solemn Mass. Everyone is welcome.
The celebration will be carried out with liturgical music and with a great sense of hospitality.
A Baptism Preparation Session takes place on the third Sunday of each month in anticipation of the celebration of the Sacrament. Parents in the Cathedral Parish are obligated to participate. The session is open to all of our neighbor parishes and
to godparents as well. Parents are encouraged to participate during pregnancy, if at all possible. Please call the Parish Office - 215–561-1313 - to register for the Baptism Preparation Session.
The next Baptism Preparation Class will be Sunday June 12th following the 11 AM Mass. There will not be a class on June 19th or in the month of July. The regular schedule will re-4- 062 cathd

Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul
Confessions beginning at 5:30 pm
Sunday Mass at 6:30 pm
Five Ways to Observe the Fortnight
for Freedom
Pray
Hold a prayer vigil for religious freedom. Eucharistic adoration, the Rosary, and the Divine Mercy
Chaplet are all forms of intercession for our country
and our first freedom. The U.S. bishops have made
prayer resources available at:
www.fortnightforfreedom.org
Learn
Catholic teaching on religious freedom is rich and
has much to offer our culture today. Consider getting a study group together to read and discuss what
religious freedom is really all about. Resources are
available at: www.fortnightforfreedom.org
Gather
Get together and celebrate religious freedom with a
parish picnic or barbeque. Hand out religious freedom conversation starters as a way to spur discussion about our first, most precious liberty
Pilgrimage
Join Catholics from all over the country in the nation’s capital on July 4 at the Basilica of the National Shrine
of the Immaculate Conception to pray for our country and for our Church.
Share!
We want to hear from you! Share pictures of Fortnight celebrations in your area on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram using the hashtag
#Fortnight4Freedom. Your picture might make it to

Today’s Gospel reading offers what seems to
be a simple story of loss, grief, and a miracle. A
woman in the town of Nain has suffered the death of
her husband and now her son, her only child, has
died. Approaching the town with the usual crowd of
people in tow, Jesus sees the funeral procession and
is moved to deep pity for the death of a young man
and for his mother, a woman bereft of family. Yet
Jesus not only has compassion, he also has the power to restore and make things whole again, and so he
does. Telling the woman not to weep any more, Jesus approaches the bier and tells the young man to
get up. He brings him back to life and to the arms of
his mother. The crowd following Jesus gasps in real
fear and amazement, while praising God. As believing Jews, they must have immediately recalled how
the great prophet Elijah brought another widow’s
son back to life (1 Kings 17:17–24). When that boy
returned to life his mother said to Elijah, “Now indeed I know that you are a man of God. The word of
the Lord comes truly from your mouth” (17:24). Jesus is revealed in this account not only as a miracle
worker—a wonder in itself—but he is, like Elijah, a
sign of God visiting the chosen people.
God walks among us now. Distracted as we
are by the almost unending stream of bad news that
we hear in the media, we might not recognize God.
And if we are too busy looking for the “big miracles”—the quick fix to our problems, the answer to
our every prayer, the granting of extraordinary favors—we might miss God’s miracles right there in
the ordinary, everyday things right under our noses.
Living Stewardship Now
Make a conscious decision today to see Christ in
those around you and respond to them accordingly.
