 PREPARING FOR EUCHARISTIC CONGRESS: All parishioners are asked to spend some time this week
meditating on the following passage: Saint Paul
Tells Us How to Receive the Gift of God
For I received from the Lord the teaching that I passed on to you: that the Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took a
piece of bread, gave thanks to God, broke it, and said, “This is my body,
which is for you . Do this in
memory of me.” In the same way,
after the supper he took the cup and said, “This cup is God’s new
covenant, sealed with my blood. Whenever
you drink it, do so in memory of me.”
This means that every time you eat this bread and drink from this cup
you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.
It follows that if one of you eats the Lord’s bread or drinks from
his cup in a way that dishonors him, you are guilty of sin against the
Lord’s body and blood. So then,
you should each examine yourself first, and then eat the bread and drink from
the cup. For if you do not recognize the meaning of the Lord’s body
when you eat the bread and drink from the cup, you bring judgment on yourself
as you eat and drink. 1 Corinthians 11.23-29 Invitation to ALL LADIES
PRIEST RETREAT: The Priests of the Diocese are on retreat in Cache Creek this
week. Please pray for them. KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS BREAKFAST:
The monthly
breakfast for the St. Pius X Knights will be held on 15 June 2008. (Note the
date change) Please come one come all, as this is the last breakfast by us
until September. May you all have
a safe enjoyable summer. Thank
you for your support over the past year.
SPECIAL EUCHARISTIC ADORATION AT ST. PIUS X PARISH:
During the week of June 16th to the June 20th from 9:30 a.m. to 5
p.m. (between the two weekday masses). Our
Bishop has asked that we celebrate the week of the Eucharistic Congress in
Quebec with our own activities to mark this momentous coming together of the
Catholic world in Canada. Please
sign up at the main entrance of the Church. ST. PIUS X 32ND ANNUAL BAZAAR: We had “six” people at our Bazaar meeting on May
29th. I am “personally”
inviting you to come and participate in the Bazaar.
The majority of our regular workers have been involved every year
since our first Bazaar in 1976. We
work together, laugh, together and enjoy a wonderful sense of achievement.
I am especially inviting the younger families in our parish and your
children to phone me and offer to help.
I have opening in many areas and would be happy to hear from you.
God Bless, Sharon Schwab 861-2945. HOMELESSNESS

the weekend Masses, launder the altar cloths and arrange flowers. Not
all people would have to do all things and we would rotate weekends

ministry. Please contact Meg at 762-8274 or meg@greenwoodtechnology.com
