All are invited to join a Eucharistic Procession for the Feast of

the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ (Corpus Christi) on

Jesus said to them, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent

me, so I send you.” John 20:21.

Just as Jesus chose his apostles to carry on his work with the

help of the Holy Spirit, so we have been chosen to continue

God’s work through the love and help we give to those in

need. The Ames Catholic Community Stephen Ministry team

would like to remind you that we have trained Stephen

Ministers available to provide one-to-one, confidential,

compassionate care to those experiencing life’s difficulties

such as struggling with grief, stress and anxiety, loneliness,

health problems, and many other situations.

If you or someone you know would benefit from this ministry

or would like additional information, call Anne Schmitt

(515-291-8257).

2020/2021 Fund-A-Need:

Security System Upgrade for School and Church

In 2019, members of the Saint Cecilia Catholic School Board

and Faith Formation Commission voted to upgrade the

security features for the building. The security system cost

over $80,000 and was installed in the summer of 2019. The

Gala Committee kindly requests your financial support to this

year's Fund-a-Need to help defray the cost of this essential

upgrade to the school and church. Please visit our website

www.stcamesgala.org to learn more about this project.

Saint Cecilia Students and Administrators describe the value

of the security system in this fun video: https://youtu.be/

May 30, 2021— The Most Holy Trinity

A prayer for everyone: For those who are particularly vulnerable, we pray for safety

and protection.

For all those who experience fear or anxiety, we pray for

peace of mind and spirit.

For our brothers and sisters around the world, we pray for

shared solidarity.

For Government, Diocese and School officials and decision

makers, we pray for wisdom and guidance.

Father, during this time may your Church be a sign of hope,

comfort and love to all.

Grant peace. Grant comfort. Grant healing. Be with us, Lord.

Amen

Hospitalized Catholics—Hospital visits are

resuming. If you are hospitalized and wish to

be visited as a patient at Mary Greeley Medical

Center in Ames, you can make sure you are

entered on the list of Catholics to be visited

daily, by calling the switchboard operator at

239-2011 or asking your nurse to help you call. St. Cecilia and

St. Thomas share hospital visits and therefore visits are made

every day. If have any questions, please call Julie Haas at

232-7138, Janine Greenwood at (515)520-7725 or

jcrgreenwood@gmail.com. You may also contact the Parish

Office at 233-3092.

Marriage Corner

“Go therefore, and make disciples of all nations,

baptizing in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the

Holy Spirit.” (Mt 28:19) We are called to lead others to Christ.

Reflect on how you and your family are living out this call. Be

witnesses to the love of Christ.

Today’s second reading reminds us that we

are the adopted sons and daughters - heirs

- of God. We are good stewards of our in-

heritance when we share our faith and ful-

fill Our Lord’s command to “go . . .and

make disciples of all the nations.”

Reminder: On June 9, Wednesday Mass

schedule moves from 9am to 6:30pm.

The June edition of The Word Among Us

is now available. Booklets are available by the

bulletin board outside the parish office.
