FOLLOW IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF CHRIST
The great fifty-day celebration of Easter has concluded, as
have the feasts honoring the Holy Trinity and the Body and
Blood of Christ. Last week we began a long stretch of
Ordinary Time that will bring us to late November. Saint
Paul tells us today that those who are baptized “have
clothed ourselves with Christ” (Galatians 3:27). This
scripture is echoed in the Church’s baptism ritual when we
sing, “You have put on Christ, in him you have been
baptized.” This message is inspiring and sobering at the
same time, for in today’s Gospel, we get to the heart of
what it means to be clothed in Christ. The Lord tells us, “If
anyone wishes to come after me, he must deny himself and
take up his cross daily and follow me, (Luke 9:23). For the
next twenty-two weeks we are called to take up the cross
and, with Saint Luke as our guide, follow in the footsteps
of Christ.

Offertory Collection June 4/5: $18,170.97
Parish Life Center: $5,361.69
There will be two special collections next
week, one for Peter’s Pence and one for
the renovation of the church restrooms.
“Who do you say that I am?” Jesus asks Peter in today’s
Gospel. Does my use of the gifts and talents entrusted to me
accurately reflect my answer to the same question? How willing
am I to deny myself, take up my cross, and follow in His steps?

MINISTRY OF THE WEEK
SICK AND SHUT-IN
MINISTRY
This ministry brings the Blessed
Sacrament to those who are sick
or unable to attend Mass. They
make weekly visits to the
homebound; they visit nursing
homes and assisted living facilities weekly; and visit
the hospital twice weekly. This is a very rewarding
ministry that spiritually enriches those they visit
and the volunteers who serve. To serve in this
ministry, we ask that members are practicing
Catholics who desire to bring the Blessed
Sacrament to those who are unable to attend Mass.
They also should be willing and able to follow a
regular schedule, are able to meet the standards
of our Diocesan Safe Environment program and are
willing to be fingerprinted and undergo a
background check by law enforcement. There are
home routes, nursing home routes, and assisted
living facility routes. Volunteers are assigned to a
route, and usually visit the same people. If you feel
the calling to be part of this essential ministry, call
the parish office at 243-3742.
