Page 3 Reflections, Announcements, News, Thoughts The Pastor s RANT More than Just the Unofficial Kickoff to Summer Memorial Day, Lest We Forget As the BBQs get fired up and the beaches get crowded, I hope we do not fail to remember what this day commemorates those who gave their lives to defend our nation. As the saying goes freedom is not free. We salute those who have honorably served and sacrificed. We honor their families and loved ones. May our fallen heroes rest in the peace of eternal life. Solemnity of the Body & Blood of Christ We often take for granted the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. This is the central sacrament of our faith and yet, we often fail to really appreciate this, greatest of gifts from God the Father? These next two weekends, we will see several of our young people receive the Eucharist for the first time. The eagerness, excitement, and enthusiasm of these young children to receive Jesus should remind us of how we should feel each and every time we are privileged to receive Jesus. CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OUR CHILDREN RECEIVING EUCHA- RIST FOR THE FIRST TIME! The children will receive their First Holy Communion at the following masses Sunday May 29 1:30pm Spanish Mass Sunday June 5 10:30am English Mass Congratulations (soon to be) Deacon Federico and family! Diaconate Ordination Friday June 3 rd at 4:00 pm Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church, Rancho Penasquitos With great joy, we will celebrate the ordination of Federico Drachenberg to the Diaconate. He and his wife Claudia have prepared faithfully over these past years for this special church ministry here at St. Joseph Cathedral. We look forward to their ministry, which will be at Sacred Heart Church in Coronado. Felicidades Federico y Claudia! FYI The parish office will be closed in remembrance of Memorial Day. In addition, there will only be ONE MASS on Memorial Day at 9:00am (No and 12:07 pm masses). We wish you a blessed Memorial Day. Don t Forget Our Dads! Father s Day Novena begins June 19th! Cards Available in the Vestibule We remember our Moms on Mother s Day. We remember our Dads on Father s Day. Both are important days to recognize the love and sacrifices of both Mom and Dad. Yet, in the world in which we live, fathers sometimes get ignored for the role they play in creating healthy, holy families. We need to pray for our Dads! You are invited to remember a special father, stepfather, grandfather, uncle, brother, any man who has accepted the vocation to fatherhood. We will also remember our Dads who have died and need our prayers. We will offer our special novena for the intentions of all our Dads. These nine days of prayer begin on Father s Day. If you would like to remember a Dad, living or deceased, in this novena, please get a card and envelope from the vestibule and return the envelope to the parish as soon as possible. Have a blessed Memorial Day weekend! God bless our Veterans and those who paid the ultimate sacrifice. In Christ s love, Fr. Pat

No hay costo. Ministerio Hispano ALIMENTADOS POR EL SEÑOR Las palabras de Jesús Esto es mi cuerpo y Este cáliz es la nueva alianza que se sella con mi sangre fueron sólo parte de su consagración. Jesús dijo dos veces: Hagan esto en memoria mía (1 Corintios 11:24, 25). Esta es la buena nueva de la solemnidad de hoy. Como las cinco mil almas hambrientas, somos alimentados por nuestro Señor. Este alimento no satisface sólo por un corto período de tiempo, hasta la próxima comida. Es un alimento que dura y nos cambia. Es un alimento para compartir de la misma forma que lo hizo Melquisedec cuando presentó pan y vino a Abram a su regreso. Como hijos del reino de Dios, tenemos la dicha de poder recibir y compartir el regalo de Dios. Y lo hacemos de la manera más apropiada a nuestra circunstancia en la vida como padres, hijos, esposos, esposas o religiosos. Lecturas de Hoy Primera lectura Melquisedec, el rey de Salem y sacerdote del Dios Altísimo, sacó pan y vino y bendijo a Abram (Génesis 14:18-20). Salmo Tú eres sacerdote para siempre (Salmo 110 [109]). Segunda lectura Pablo da su descripción de la institución de la Eucaristía (1 Corintios 11:23-26). Evangelio Jesús habla a la multitud sobre el reino de Dios y luego la alimenta con cinco panes y dos pescados (Lucas 9:11b-17).
Page 6 Jubilee Year of Mercy Resources are available at www.usccb.org Faith Formation Faith Formation is a vital element of every Catholic parish. The role of parish faith formation is to provide organized and systematic approach to the instruction and practice of the faith for everyone in the parish community. The goal of this formation is to give each member an understanding of their faith so they can evangelize and witness to the faith in the greater secular community. The programs offered at Saint Joseph s Cathedral parish reflect the diversity of an urban Southern California parish. In addition to the weekly catechetical program special events and speakers are presented throughout the parish s pastoral year. RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) RCIA an Invitation for everyone to Community in Christ. At St. Joseph Cathedral s parish community we believe that everyone has an invitation to join the RCIA process. The RCIA s invitation is for those individuals who have not been baptized and wish to enter into a relationship with Jesus Christ in the Roman Catholic Faith Community. The invitation is for those from other Christian Faith communities who wish to become members of the Roman Catholic Church. Catholics who have not completed the sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist will find the invitation is for them to complete those sacraments. Catholics who have not been active in their faith and wish to return to an active sacramental relationship with the faith community will find the RCIA a place to have that journey. Also, Catholics who wish to renew their faith by refreshing their knowledge of the church s teaching are most welcome. Evangelization and Catechesis are the hallmarks of the RCIA at St. Joseph Cathedral. For more information write Bill Bischoff at RCIA@sdcathedral.org or call the Parish Office.
