THE MOST HOLY BODY AND BLOOD OF CHRIST ~ June 22, 2014
Sunday Scripture Meditation: Deuteronomy 8:2-3, 14b-16a; 1 Corinthians 10:16-17; John 6:51-58
At the Last Supper Jesus first instituted the Eucharist, telling us, “Do this in memory of me”. When we receive Communion today, let’s remember who we are receiving, and what He did for us. Remembering will help us stay focused on our eternal heritage. It will help us obey God’s commands. And most important, it will convince us that nothing can separate us from the love of God!

Faith and Your Family: Great Catholic Families #3
Great Catholic families simply give. Part of being grateful for what we have is sharing it with others. Catholic families remember that God does not grant us gifts so we can hoard them greedily. Catholic families blessed with resources are called to use them to ensure that those who have little have a chance at a better life. Children who see their parents giving of their gifts will follow suit. After all, we learn from our families what is important, and we imitate those behaviors when we have families of our own.
THE LORD’S KITCHEN: Holy Name of Jesus Parish is scheduled to provide the Wednesday meal at Christ Church, Stratford on JULY 16th. Monetary donations or gift cards should be sent to our Parish Office or placed in the collection basket during Mass. Please be sure to mark the envelope LORD’S KITCHEN. Checks should be made payable toHoly Name of Jesus Church. Volunteers please contact Armand Majewski, 203-521-5915 or Toni Majewski, 203-520-5117. We Thank you for your support!
Defending Our Religious Liberty #118
For the first time in our nation’s history, the federal government through the federal health care mandate is forcing religious institutions to facilitate drugs and procedures contrary to the moral convictions of the Catholic Church. It’s important that we continue to speak out against it. If you haven’t done so already, please voice your opposition to the mandate by calling President Obama at the White House at 202-456-1111 or the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services at 202-205-5445. Let them know that the mandate is in violation of our First Amendment right to religious freedom.
