Cross indicates the person is deceased. No cross the person is alive.
All Scheduled Mass Intentions are being said at the Rectory Chapel by our Redemptorist Priests.
Reflection When Jesus proclaimed the kingdom of God he met opposition and hostility from those who refused to believe in him. He tells his
disciples that they must expect the same treatment if they are to live and to proclaim the reign of God. There is both a warning and a privilege in his statement. Just as Jesus had to carry his cross, so the disciples must carry their cross and not try to evade it. To suf-fer for the faith is to share in the work of Christ. As one hymn states: Lift high the Cross of Christ! Tread where his feet have trod.
The Holy Spirit gives us power and grace to live as disciples of Jesus Christ. Do you trust in God’s grace to carry your cross for Jesus' sake?
"Lord Jesus, it is my joy and privilege to be your disciple. Give me strength and courage to bear any hardship and suffering which may come my way in your service. May I witness to others the new life, joy and victory you have won for us through
your cross and resurrection."

The Nativity of John the Baptist on June 24 comes three months after the celebration on March 25 of the Annunciation, when the angel Gabriel old
Mary hat her cousin Elizabeth was in her sixth month of pregnancy, and six months before the Christmas celebration of the birth of Jesus. The purpose of these festivals is not to celebrate the
exact dates of these events, but simply to commemorate them in an interlinking way.
The Nativity of John the Baptist anticipates the feast of Christmas.
The Nativity of John the Baptist is one of the oldest festivals of the Christian church, being listed by the
Council of Agde in 506 as one of that region's principal festivals, where it was a day of rest and,
like Christmas,
was celebrated with three Masses: a vigil, at dawn, and
at midday.
