Archbishop Hebda’s Letter to Families Is Here! 
Read, or listen to, Archbishop Hebda’s pastoral letter to families, “Only One Thing is Necessary,” available now at archspm.org/familyletter. It is Archbishop’s deep desire that, in it,every individual in this Archdiocese will see his or her role in the great task at hand, what’s at stake, and how we can all strive to be united with our families and with each other, in this life and the next. We encourage you to read the letter online, or listen to the audio podcast, if you are able.  If that is not a good option for you, printed copies are available in the narthex.  

Reclaiming Sundays:  June – Screen-Free Sundays and Prayer
The final Reclaiming Sundays theme (for June) is “Screen-Free Sundays.” One activity that is part of a liturgical celebration is to participate in the Corpus Christi procession on June 7th (after both the 8:30 and 10:30 a.m. Masses). Last year, the parishes restarted a long-standing Church tradition of doing an outdoor Eucharistic procession at the end of Corpus Christi Mass. Please pray for good weather! In the event of bad weather, the procession will either be shortened or canceled (due to the fact that the new liturgical rites require that a procession at this celebration goes outside).
