Fr. Brown continues this series again this week which focuses on the four primary Eucharistic Prayers used at Mass. The talks will be fairly reflective and lead the audience into some reflection on the meaning of various parts of the prayers.

The next three meetings are in the PLC at 6 p.m. on June 13th, 20th, and 27th.

The year 2025 will be a special year in the Catholic Church. Every 25 years we have a jubilee year with special indulgences, prayers, and graces. Its roots are ultimately in the Old Testament Torah and it developed as a specifically Catholic practice in the later Middle Ages. Also, it is the 75th anniversary of the founding of our parish. Interestingly enough, the parish was founded on 1 July 1950, but dedicated in November of 1962. We will be celebrating a very special year indeed. To that end, we would like to create a Jubilee Committee to help plan and execute Jubilee events which will be liturgical and social. If you are interested, please email Fr. Brown at mbrown@srdiocese.org

In the Gospel, Jesus says that He has come to set fire to the earth—the fire, that He longs to set, is the fire of divine love, the fire of the Holy Spirit, in each human heart. One prayer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus says, “Oh Heart of Jesus, burning with love for us, inflame our hearts with love for You.” The Sacred Heart of Jesus is aflame with love for you and for me, and in this month, He wants to set our hearts on fire with His love, to consume all that is not His love, and for this fire of His love to spread to others who so need to know God’s love for them.

This month we celebrate two Ordinations to the Priesthood at St Eugene’s. Do you ever wonder if there are some things that you can do to help promote vocations to the priesthood? Well, it turns out that there are some practices that do seem to help. It's helpful to remember that the number one most important practice is our active practice of the faith that includes an active prayer life and support for vocational discernment in general. Looking at data from men getting ordained over the last decade, there do seem to be some common threads. They are much more likely to come from larger families where they attended Mass every Sunday and occasionally daily Mass also. Additionally, families that partook of regular confession, the recitation of the Rosary, Eucharistic Adoration, altar serving, and regular prayer were more likely to produce a vocation. Other practices that appear to help produce vocations are home schooling, attending a Catholic grade school, attending a Catholic high school or college, and having a relative who is a priest. Let's all keep our youth in prayer as they discern their calling.
