Sacramental Preparation
2017-2018
June 3, 2018 - Feast of Corpus Christi “Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them and
they all drank from it.” – MARK 14:23
Jesus, the perfect steward, gave thanks,
just before He gave Himself to us com-
pletely for our salvation. He offers us the
chance to drink from His cup. In the Eu-
charist, we meet Christ personally and, if
we listen to Him, we know what drinking
from His cup means our own sacrifice –
giving up some of our time, talent and
treasure to do His work on earth.
Stewardship Reflection
* Fr. Luciano will be away on vacation June 4th – July 9th. * We pray for safe travels! Please contact the Parish Office directly while he is away.
