All Registered Parishioners: God has blessed our parish with

continual growth and as we plan for the future, it is apparent that we need

to consider some short-term solutions to accommodate this. We are

considering shifting the Sunday Mass times to distribute the attendance

more evenly between the three Masses thus making room for new

parishioners and the future growth of our parish. The 9am Mass and the

11:30am Mass are crowded and well attended, but there is always more

than enough room at the 7:15am Mass. We understand that attending the

7:15am Mass can be difficult for many, especially those driving from a

great distance and families with small children. It is our hope that by

changing the first Mass on Sunday to 8am more parishioners would be

able to attend this Mass to alleviate overcrowding at the other Masses and

in the confession lines. The next Mass would be at 10am and the third at

noon. We are going to be conducting a poll over the next few weeks for

registered parishioners, as we would like your input as to which of the

two masses (10am or noon) you would prefer to be the high Mass. This

opinion poll will assist the pastor in making his final decision on this

matter. Sunday Mass times will shift to 8am, 10am, and 12 noon in the

month of July, during which the choir will be on vacation and it will be

all low Masses. High Mass will resume in the month of August. Please

fill out the sheet designated for this purpose located in the narthex and

place it in the box labeled “Opinion Poll” (also located in the narthex)

by June 30th. Thank you for your most gracious support of the parish and

of her priests!

God bless and reward you,

Casti Connubii- On Christian Marriage (cont. from 5/26/19 bulletin)

Encyclical of Pope Pius XI December 31, 1930 Wherefore, let the faithful also be on their guard against the overrated independence

of private judgment and that false autonomy of human reason. For it is quite foreign to everyone

bearing the name of a Christian to trust his own mental powers with such pride as to agree only

with those things which he can examine from their inner nature, and to imagine that the Church,

sent by God to teach and guide all nations, is not conversant with present affairs and

circumstances; or even that they must obey only in those matters which she has decreed by

solemn definition as though her other decisions might be presumed to be false or putting

forward insufficient motive for truth and honesty. Quite to the contrary, a characteristic of all

true followers of Christ, lettered or unlettered, is to suffer themselves to be guided and led in all

things that touch upon faith or morals by the Holy Church of God through its Supreme Pastor

the Roman Pontiff, who is himself guided by Jesus Christ Our Lord. Consequently, since

everything must be referred to the law and mind of God, in order to bring about the universal

and permanent restoration of marriage, it is indeed of the utmost importance that the faithful

should be well instructed concerning matrimony; both by word of mouth and by the written

word, not cursorily but often and fully, by means of plain and weighty arguments, so that these

truths will strike the intellect and will be deeply engraved on their hearts. Let them realize and

diligently reflect upon the great wisdom, kindness and bounty God has shown towards the

human race, not only by the institution of marriage, but also, and quite as much, by upholding it

with sacred laws; still more, in wonderfully raising it to the dignity of a Sacrament by which

such an abundant fountain of graces has been opened to those joined in Christian wedlock, that

these may be able to serve the noble purposes of wedlock for their own welfare and for that of

their children, of the community and also for that of human relationship. Certainly, if the latter

day subverters of marriage are entirely devoted to misleading the minds of men and corrupting

their hearts, to making a mockery of matrimonial purity and extolling the filthiest of vices by

means of books and pamphlets and other innumerable methods, much more ought you,

Venerable Brethren, whom “the Holy Ghost has placed as bishops, to rule the Church of God,

which He hath purchased with His own blood,” to give yourselves wholly to this, that through

yourselves and through the priests subject to you, and, moreover, through the laity welded

together by Catholic Action, so much desired and recommended by Us into a power of

hierarchical apostolate, you may, by every fitting means, oppose error by truth, vice by the

excellent dignity of chastity, the slavery of covetousness by the liberty of the sons of God, that

disastrous ease in obtaining divorce by an enduring love in the bond of marriage and by the

inviolate pledge of fidelity given even to death. Thus will it come to pass that the faithful will

wholeheartedly thank God that they are bound together by His command and led by gentle

compulsion to fly as far as possible from every kind of idolatry of the flesh and from the base

slavery of the passions. They will, in a great measure, turn and be turned away from these

abominable opinions which to the dishonor of man’s dignity are now spread about in speech and

in writing and collected under the title of “perfect marriage” and which indeed would make that

perfect marriage nothing better than “depraved marriage,” as it has been rightly and truly called.

Such wholesome instruction and religious training in regard to Christian marriage will be quite

different from that exaggerated physiological education by means of which, in these times of

ours, some reformers of married life make pretense of helping those joined in wedlock, laying

much stress on these physiological matters, in which is learned rather the art of sinning in a

subtle way than the virtue of living chastely.

WHIT SUNDAY, THE DAY OF PENTECOST An excerpt from The Liturgical Year by Dom Prosper Gueranger

The mystery of Pentecost holds so important a place in the Christian dispensation, that

we cannot be surprised at the Church’s ranking it, in her liturgy, on an equality with her paschal

solemnity. The Pasch is the redemption of man by the victory of Christ; Pentecost is the Holy

Ghost taking possession of man redeemed. The Ascension is the intermediate mystery; it

consummates the Pasch, by placing the Man-God, the Conqueror of death, and our Head, at the

right hand of the Father; it prepares the mission of the Holy Ghost to our earth. This mission

could not take place until Jesus had been glorified, as St. John tells us; and several reasons are

assigned for this fact by the holy fathers. It was necessary that the Son of God, who, together

with the Father, is the principle of the procession of the Holy Ghost in the divine essence,

should also personally send this divine Spirit upon the earth. The exterior mission of one of the

Three Persons is but the sequel and manifestation of the mysterious and eternal production

which is ever going on within the Divinity. Thus the Father is not sent, either by the Son or by

the Holy Ghost, because He does not proceed from them. The Son is sent to men by the Father,

of whom He is eternally begotten. The Holy Ghost is sent by the Father and the Son, because He

proceeds from both. But, in order that the mission of the Holy Ghost might give greater glory to

the Son, there was a congruity in its not taking place until such time as the Incarnate Word

should be enthroned at the right hand of the Father. How immense the glory of human nature,

that it was hypostatically united to the Person of the Son of God when this mission of the Holy

Ghost was achieved! And that we can say, in strict truth, the Holy Ghost was sent by the Man-

God! This divine mission was not to be given to the Third Person, until men were deprived of

the visible presence of Jesus. As we have already said, the hearts of the faithful were

henceforward to follow their absent Redeemer by a purer and wholly spiritual love. Now, who

was to bring us this new love, if not He who is the link of the eternal love of the Father and the

Son? This holy Spirit of love and union is called, in the sacred Scriptures, the ‘Gift of God’;

and it is on the day of Pentecost that the Father and Son send us this ineffable Gift. Let us call to

mind the words spoken by our Emmanuel to the Samaritan woman at the well of Sichar: ‘If thou

didst know the Gift of God!’ He had not yet been given, He had not yet been manifested,

otherwise than in a partial way. From this day forward, He inundates the whole earth with His

fire, He gives spiritual life to all, He makes His influence felt in every place. We know the Gift

of God; so that we have but to open our hearts to receive Him, as did the three thousand who

listened to St. Peter’s sermon. Observe, too, the season of the year, in which the Holy Ghost

comes to take possession of His earthly kingdom. Our Jesus, the Sun of justice, arose in

Bethlehem in the very depth of winter; humble and gradual was His ascent to the zenith of His

glory. But the Spirit of the Father and the Son came in the season that harmonizes with His own

divine characteristic. He is a consuming Fire. He comes into the world when summer is in its

pride, and sunshine decks our earth with loveliest flowers. Let us welcome the life-giving heat

of the Holy Ghost, and earnestly beseech Him that it may ever abide within us. The liturgical

year has brought us to the full possession of truth by the Incarnate Word; let us carefully cherish

the love, which the Holy Ghost has now enkindled within our hearts.

Today: 2nd collection for Catholic Communications. Please make checks

payable to St. Francis de Sales, thank you! Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament: We are pleased to announce that

we will have Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament from 10am-3pm every

Thursday. Continuation of this most praiseworthy devotion is dependent upon

consistent and continual fulfillment of at least two persons per hour of

exposition. If you could spend an hour with Our Lord, then please do sign up on

the designated sheet located in the narthex. It is our hope and prayer that many

will seize this opportunity to make reparation to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus

and pray for our priests, families, and parish.

Items left on cart by social hall kitchen: Please pick up any items

(coolers, serving platters, food storage containers, bags, etc.) that belong to you

that are on the cart by the kitchen in the social hall. Items remaining after today

will be disposed of.

Ushers Needed: Ushers are needed for the 9am Mass. Please contact the

parish office if you are able to assist in this important ministry.

Cry Room Overcrowding: Parents with small children, please feel free

to bring your children into the social hall during Mass when the cry room is

over-crowded. You can follow along with the Mass on the monitor located in

the back corner of the social hall.

All Registered Parishioners: God has blessed our parish

with continual growth and as we plan for the future, it is

apparent that we need to consider some short-term solutions to

accommodate this. We are considering shifting the Sunday

Mass times to distribute the attendance more evenly between

the three Masses thus making room for new parishioners and

the future growth of our parish. The 9am Mass and the

11:30am Mass are crowded and well attended, but there is

always more than enough room at the 7:15am Mass. We

understand that attending the 7:15am Mass can be difficult for

many, especially those driving from a great distance and

families with small children. It is our hope that by changing

the first Mass on Sunday to 8am more parishioners would be

able to attend this Mass to alleviate overcrowding at the other

Masses and in the confession lines. The next Mass would be

at 10am and the third at noon. We are going to be conducting

a poll over the next few weeks for registered parishioners, as

we would like your input as to which of the two masses (10am

or noon) you would prefer to be the high Mass. This opinion

poll will assist the pastor in making his final decision on this

matter. Sunday Mass times will shift to 8am, 10am, and 12

noon in the month of July, during which the choir will be on

vacation and it will be all low Masses. High Mass will resume

in the month of August. Please fill out the sheet designated for

this purpose located in the narthex and place it in the box

labeled “Opinion Poll” (also located in the narthex) by June

30th. Thank you for your most gracious support of the parish

and of her priests!
