Father Chris and the Parish Staff of St. Matthias wish all Fathers a

Happy and Blessed Day! Happy Father’s Day

God our Father, in your wisdom and love you made all things. Bless these men, that they may be strengthened as Christian fathers. Let the example of their faith and love shine forth. Guide them to be good role models and loving to all their children. Help them to be a father like You are. Give them grace and patience to handle situations in a loving way. Grant that we, their sons and daughters, may honor them always with a spirit of profound respect. We ask this prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen

TODAY’S READINGS

First Reading — The Lord has rescued the poor from the clutches of the wicked (Jeremiah 20:10-13). Psalm — Lord, in your great love, answer me (Psalm 69). Second Reading — The grace of God overflows for all (Romans 5:12-15). Gospel — All who acknowledge Jesus before others will likewise be acknowledged by Jesus before the Father (Matthew 10:26-33).

ENTHUSIASM AND GRAMMAR

There is a good reason that the writings of St. Paul don’t show up as examples in grammar textbooks. Today’s reading is a case in point. It begins with one of those long Pauline run on sentences that leave lectors gasping for breath. So what? Take a closer look at how Paul’s fervor for his subject matter derails the grammar. There is something admirable about being so caught up in his convictions that the words cannot come fast enough to express them, much less in an orderly fashion. Scripture scholars usually take this grammatical inept-ness as a sign of a passage’s early importance in the Christian commu-nity, something they were so ardent about that their language never got refined.

What leaves us in this condition? Re-telling the plot line of an action movie or the play-by-play of a sporting event? When was the last time any of us was so excited by our faith in Christ that we were left grasping for words, stumbling over our own errors in speech? It may be bad grammar, but it is an excellent way to inspire others with the message of Christ!

Our deep gratitude to parishioners and visitors for

your continue support to the ongoing work of Christ at St. Matthias.

OUR NEW CHURCH The work on our new church is progressing according to the schedule set by our general contractor, Westfall. The

clearing work is complete, all the excess dirt has been removed, and the underground stormwater drainage system installed including excavation of the retention pond. The pad for the church has been completed and the foundation piers have been drilled and filled with concrete. Underground plumbing has been installed under the pad and the electrical conduits are being put in place now. The new parking lot is being prepared with lime and a layer of gravel will be spread soon. The new parking area will be used for contractor parking and to store materials during construction as required. It will not be finished until near the end of the project (after all the heavy equipment leaves the site). The sewer line that was discovered serving the homes on Sanders and the apartments on Purvis has been relocated with approval by the city. Our title company is reimbursing us for the cost of this additional work. We continue to be very active with our general contractor and architect. They have been conducting detailed reviews of the electrical systems and lighting, plumbing and fixtures, the heating and cooling systems, and attending to the many details of a new construction project. We are also attending status meetings with Westfall every two weeks. Over the next few weeks, piers will be drilled for the SVdP building and pavilion, the church foundation will start to take shape as reinforcing beams and framing are placed, and concrete will start to be poured for the foundation. Your support to help KEEP EVERYONE SAFE during construction is very important and much appreciated. DO NOT ENTER THE CONSTRUCTION AREA including any of the cleared areas of our site. This is for your safety!! While we did meet our financial goals for our campaign, thanks to the generous support of many parishioners, our parish will be taking on a sizable monthly payment. If you are still making payments on a pledge, please continue to do so until fulfilled. Any additional gifts to our campaign will also be appreciated. If you would like to sponsor an element of our new church, we have an updated list of items that are available in the narthex. The requested donations for items range from $2,500 to $100,000. Please contact the parish office for more information. Please pray for the safe construction of our new church and for minimal weather delays. Contact our campaign team through Tom Condon at 281-382- 8097 for more information about the campaign or Jerry Strenk at 936-449-6686 with Building Committee questions.

DIOCESAN SERVICES FUND 2020 The 2020 Archdiocesan DSF campaign is

underway in the Archdiocese with this year’s

theme of "Bring Your Greatest Gifts to the

Lord". The Cardinal has set our parishes goal for this year at

$65,000. As of June 15, our parish has contributed

$40,438.99 toward pledges of $53,361.99. Your pledge can

be dropped in the collection box, inside the church office or

mailed directly to the Archdiocese. Please confirm that your

pledge card indicates our parish name. Please pray about how

you can support this important campaign that benefits so

many needy in the Galveston - Houston area.

Today we hear Jesus say, “Everyone who acknowledges me before others I will acknowledge before My heavenly Father.” This week, know that you will be bringing hope to the poor by your gift to the Society of

St. Vincent de Paul. Monthly needed items: dry pinto beans, spam, canned chick-en, tuna, soup, Vienna sausage, jelly The Society of St. Vincent de Paul is still using the “drive through” model to comply with Social Distancing. During the month of May, we were able to serve 365 families in this manner and will continue to practice this method during this pandemic. We thank St. Matthias for their continued support and prayers without whom we could not operate.

We are now offering Seniors-Only

Masses!!! On Thursdays and Fridays,

the daily Mass at 10:30 a.m. is open to

those who are aged 65 and older and

who are healthy. Please practice good

hygiene prior to coming to church.

When you come to church, please follow the social distancing

guidelines of 6ft and wear a face mask that covers your nose

and mouth. Please use your hand sanitizer when entering the

church and prior to taking Holy Communion.

For those with underlying health issues, Father Chris would

like for you to come up to the church around 11am and he will

come out to the front parking lot and offer you Holy

Communion, while you remain inside your vehicle.

CONGRATULATIONS CLASS OF 2020!!

We are so proud of all of our recent high school graduates; what a year it has been! The future is wide open, with many

opportunities now waiting for you. Congratulations on your great success. May God's love and guidance be with you. We would like to honor you in a Mass and need to a few things first. Please reach out to Chasity Nigliazzo at 281-356-2000.

Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time The psalmist cries out to God, “Lord, in your great love, answer me.” In each of our readings today, there is movement from darkness and despair to trusting in God as our source of salvation. Jeremiah sounds almost a madman as he describes the evil and vileness that sur-rounds him. In the midst of that terror, he professes his faith in God. Similarly, in Saint Paul’s letter to the Ro-mans, we are reminded that one man, Jesus Christ, came into the world for the sake of many, to overcome the evil and sin that have been prevalent since Adam. In Mark, Jesus calls us from fear, sin, and darkness to live in the light. He reminds us that we are not alone and how very precious each of us is in the eyes of God. Indeed, God hears our cries! DO NOT BE AFRAID In our world today, it seems there are many things to make us fearful. We can become distraught over personal finances, relationships, poor choices our children are making, issues with jobs, the changing climate, the way our parish is being run, or a zillion other things. The problems may not even be evil but may be simply life and all its challenges. But these struggles are real, and some-times we seek unhealthy solutions. Many people suffer with issues of anxiety and depression, and fear leads oth-ers to addiction as a means of coping. In our Gospel to-day, God lovingly calls us beyond that darkness to light. YOU ARE WORTH MORE THAN MANY SPARROWS Sometimes we look for very complex answers when a simple promise or solution is right in front of us. As I am writing and looking out the window, I see half a dozen little birds sitting in a bush. Their presence is a re-minder to me of God’s love and care for each and every one of us. If something that seems so insignificant or inci-dental is known by God, how much more are we loved and cared for! Take a moment, look at the world around you, breathe, take it in, and ask God for the help you need. Turn matters over and place your trust in a loving God. Remember, though, Jesus seldom heals without some sort of action on our part. When you have given your concern over to God, other concrete steps may be necessary. Is it time to schedule an appointment with a professional? Time to name an issue? Or time for the sac-rament of reconciliation? Evil’s power comes from re-maining in the darkness. When we no longer close our-selves off or suffer alone but share our concerns with someone, we can begin to grow and heal and move past them. It is seldom magical or instantaneous. It is a long arduous process. But we hold on to the simple reminder, “You are worth more than many sparrows!”

-operation we will help you make this a special time for

your family.

PRAYER FOR HEALTH CARE WORKERS

God of everlasting goodness, you sent your Son among us to bring healing, peace, and reconciliation to our weary world. Be with all health care workers and their assistants in this time of the Coronavirus pandemic.

As they continue Jesus’ ministry of care, renew them in mind, body, and spirit. Keep them safe from infection and illness, and may Christ’s healing presence flow through them as they serve those entrusted to their care. We ask this in his name, Christ the healer, who is Lord forever and ever. Amen. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

Act of Spiritual Communion

My Jesus, I believe that You are present in

the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above

all things, and I desire to receive You into

my soul. Since I cannot at this moment re-

ceive You sacramentally, come at least spir-

itually into my heart. I embrace You as if

You were already there and unite myself

wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You.

Amen.

COMUNIDAD HISPANA Declaración de la Misión Parroquial

“Una comunidad acogedora, comprometida a fomentar un amor más profundo por Jesús, por medio de la Fe, la familia y el servicio a los demás.”

ENTUSIASMO Y GRAMÁTICA

Hay una buena razón para que los escritos de Pablo no se usen

como modelos de gramática correcta hoy. La lectura de hoy nos ofrece

un buen ejemplo de que para Pablo el mensaje tenía precedencia sobre

la gramática. La primera oración es bastante larga y deja a los lectores

sin aire; luego hay una serie de declaraciones que están hilvanadas

sólo en la mente de Pablo. Pero, ¿qué importa? El fervor de Pablo es

tan evidente que las palabras no le salen lo suficientemente rápidas

para expresar sus ideas de manera ordenada. Los estudiosos de la

Escritura regularmente interpretan su falta de sentido gramático como

señal de la importancia de un pasaje en la Iglesia joven; como algo tan

importante para ellos que el lenguaje que usaron nunca fue refinado.

¿Qué puede causar tal estado? ¿Contar la trama de una película de

acción o describir jugada por jugada de un juego de fútbol? ¿Cuándo

fue la última vez que estuvimos tan excitados por nuestra fe en Cristo

que nos faltaba el aire al contarlo, o cometíamos errores gramaticales

por hablar con tanto entusiasmo? ¡Puede que sea ejemplo de mala

gramática, pero es una manera excelente de inspirar a otros con el

mensaje de Cristo! Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

NUESTRA NUEVA IGLESIA

El trabajo en nuestra nueva iglesia está progre-sando de acuerdo con el cronograma estableci-do por nuestro contratista general, Westfall. El trabajo de limpieza está completo, se ha elimi-

nado todo el exceso de suciedad y se instaló el sistema de dre-naje subterráneo de aguas pluviales, incluyendo la excavación del estanque de retención. La plataforma para la Iglesia se ha completado y los pilares de la fundación se han perforado y rellenado con cemento.

Se instalaron tuberías subterráneas debajo de la plataforma y ahora se están instalando los conductos eléctricos. El nuevo estacionamiento se está preparando con cal y pronto se exten-derá una capa de grava. La nueva área de estacionamiento se utilizará para el estacionamiento del contratista y para almacenar materiales durante la construcción, según sea nece-sario. No estará terminado hasta cerca del final del proyecto (después de que todo el equipo pesado abandone el sitio).

La línea de alcantarillado que se descubrió sirviendo a las casas en Sanders y los apartamentos en Purvis ha sido reubicada con la aprobación de la ciudad. Nuestra compañía de títulos nos reembolsará el costo de este trabajo adicional. Seguimos siendo muy activos con nuestro contratista general y arquitecto. Se han llevado a cabo revisiones detalladas de los sistemas eléctricos y de iluminación, tuberías y accesorios, sistemas de calefacción y refrigeración, y han atendido los numerosos detalles de un nuevo proyecto de construcción. También asistimos a reuniones de Estado con Westfall cada dos semanas. Durante las próximas semanas, se perforarán muelles para el edificio de San Vicente de Paúl y el pabellón, la fundación de la iglesia comenzarán a tomar forma a medida que se coloquen las vigas de refuerzo y el marco, y se comenzará a verter concreto para la fundación. Su apoyo para ayudar a MANTENER LA SEGURIDA DE TODOS durante la construcción es muy importante y muy apreciado. ¡¡NO ENTRE AL ÁREA DE CONSTRUCCIÓN que incluye y las áreas despejadas de nuestro sitio. ¡¡Esto es por su seguridad!!

A pesar de que cumplimos con nuestras metas financieras para nuestra campaña, gracias al generoso apoyo de muchos feligre-ses, nuestra parroquia tendrá un pago mensual considerable. Si todavía está haciendo pagos de su promesa, continúe haciéndo-lo hasta que se cumpla. Cualquier obsequio adicional a nuestra campaña también será apreciado. Si desea patrocinar un elemento de nuestra nueva iglesia, tenemos una lista actualiza-da de los artículos que están disponible en el nártex. Las dona-ciones solicitadas para artículos varían de $2500 a $100,000. Por favor, llame a la oficina parroquial para más información.

Por favor, oren por la seguridad de la construcción de nuestra nueva iglesia y para retrasos climáticos mínimos.

Póngase en contacto con nuestro equipo de campana a través de Tom Condon al 281-382-8097 para obtener más información sobre la campana o con Jerry Strenk al 936-449-6686 con preguntas del Comité de Construcción.

DIOCESAN SERVICES FUND 2020 La campaña de Fondo de Servicios Diocesanos esta en

marcha en la Arquidiócesis con el tema de este año de

"Ofrezcamos Nuestros Mejores Dones al Señor”. El

Cardenal ha establecido nuestra meta parroquial para este

año en $65,000. A partir del 8 de junio, nuestra parroquia ha

contribuido $39,349.99 hacia promesas de $53,261.99. Su promesa

puede colocar su promesa en la canasta de colecta, o en la oficina

parroquial. Confirme que su tarjeta de compromiso indique el nombre

de nuestra parroquia. Ore acerca de como puede apoyar esta

importante compaña que beneficia a tantos necesitados en el área de

Galveston-Houston.

boca. Use su desinfectante de manos cuando ingrese a la iglesia

y antes de tomar la Sagrada Comunión.

Para aquellos con problemas de salud, al Padre Chris le gustaría

que viniera a la iglesia alrededor de las 11 a.m. y el saldrá al

estacionamiento delantero y le ofrecerá la Sagrada Comunión,

mientras permanecen dentro de su vehículo.

Una vez que los niños hayan completado su Primera

Reconciliación, los procedimientos y tiempos de la

Primera Comunión se celebrarán asegurando que se

tomen todas las precauciones de seguridad.

Este momento especial en el viaje de fe de su hijo ha

tenido algunos desafíos con COVID 19, sin embargo, con su

cooperación, lo ayudaremos a que sea un momento especial

para su familia.

RECORDATORIO

Todavía me faltan certificados de bautismo. Su hijo NO hará

sus sacramentos a menos que sean recibidos.
