DEAR PARISHIONERS

June brings us a beautiful blend of solemn feasts, devotions, and community life as we continue celebrating the Jubilee Year of Hope.

We begin with the Ascension of the Lord, marking Jesus’ return to the Father and His commissioning of the Church. A week later, on June 8, we celebrate Pentecost, the coming of the Holy Spirit and the birth of the Church’s mission in the world. Pentecost also closes the Easter season and begins Ordinary Time, where we live out our faith in daily life.

On June 13, join us at Our Lady of Humility Church for the Fatima Devotion, continuing each 13th of the month through October. Let us honor Our Lady and entrust our hearts to her during this special year.

The following Sunday, we celebrate the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity, followed by a special Jubilee pilgrimage to Holy Name Cathedral on Wednesday, June 19. Participating in this pilgrimage offers a unique opportunity to receive a plenary indulgence by visiting the Cathedral, praying for the Holy Father, and fulfilling the usual conditions (Confession, Eucharist, and detachment from sin).

On June 22, we will celebrate Corpus Christi with a Eucharistic procession from St. Patrick’s Main Church to the Historic Church following the 11 a.m. Mass (weather permitting). This is a powerful expression of our belief in the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist.

We conclude the month with the Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul on the last Sunday of June—two pillars of the Church remind us of the strength of faith and the call to evangelize. The month of June is also dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, a reminder of Christ’s boundless love for us.

Finally, do not miss our annual Parish Rummage Sale from June 26–28. It is a wonderful way to support the parish and connect with others in a fun and meaningful way. Please consider volunteering for an hour or two.

Let us walk through this rich month in hope, prayer, and community.

In Christ,
Fr. Wojciech Oleksy
