TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION The reign of God comes about
because people commit to reversing their lives completely, to
embracing new vision, new values. Many popular television shows
exploit an unattractive side of human nature by pitting contestants
against one another, even to the point of performing dangerous
stunts or devious schemes, to gain money or favor. At the liturgy,
we counter that impulse by committing ourselves to live generously.
In response to Christs total gift, we offer bread and wine as the
emblems of our lives, our hopes, our joys and sorrows. The bread
and wine carried to the altar contain our lives, and by offering
our lives to God, we prepare to receive the gift of Gods own life.
We are to become what we receive: the body of Christ.

HUMAN CONCERNS COMMISSION
Dear Lord, Hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as
they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless
acts they perform for us in our time of need.
Remember Those Far From Home LCpl. Elijah Burgins Po3. John
Castro
Pvt. Peter Eck Pvt. Zachary Flick Lt. Eric Infante
Sgt. Scott Majewski Kevin Moon Mullins
Afc. Jeremy McNeel Pfc. Joseph Pusateri Theodore Soupart
Let us remember and pray for those who are always in our hearts.
If you have loved ones who are currently serving in the Armed
Forces, please call the rectory at 847-437-6208 and we will add
their names to our bulletin list. When your loved one has returned
home, please let us know so we can remove their name from the list.
Thank you.
End Domestic Violence NOW! Domestic Violence Hotline
1-800-799-SAFE Domestic Violence incidents rise during difficult
financial times. If you see a family in trouble, please call the
hotline.
MY BROTHERS KEEPER MINISTRY Seniors, do you need a ride to the
doctor or grocery store? Please give us at least 3 days notice.
This is a free service to all our senior pa-rishioners. We are not
able to drive for surgery or if anesthesia is involved. Call Linda
at 847-439-5372. Need for drivers If you have an hour or two to
spare once a month and would like to drive seniors to the doctor or
grocery store, contact Linda at 847-439-5372
St.Vincent de Paul is an emergency source for food and
short-term financial help for parishioners and those living within
the parish boundaries. Please call 847-437-6208. Requests will be
handled with care and confidentiality.
In the Gospel, Jesus says: This is how it is with the reign of
God. A man scatters seed on the ground. He goes to bed and gets up
day after day. Through it all the seed sprouts and grows without
his knowing how it happens.
Through your almsgiving you are sowing seeds that grow far
greater than you know. Your gift to St. Vincent de Paul brings
Christs love and
compassion to the poor.
A WAY TO ADVOCATE FOR IMMIGRANTS Every threat to the family is a
threat to society itself. The future of humanity, as Saint John
Paul II often said, passes through the family (cf.Familiaris
Consortio, 85). So protect your families! See in them your countrys
greatest treasure and nourish them always by prayer and the grace
of the sacraments. -Pope Francis
Migrant families who are escaping various forms of violence and
persecution in their homeland are being routinely separated at the
boarder. Since October 2017, over 700 children have been separated
from their parents, including over 100 children under the age of
four. On May 4, 2018, DHS stated that it wll refer all individuals
who cross the border without authorization for criminal
prosecution, including adult members of family units. If
implemented, this pol-icy will undoubtedly lead to a drastic
increase in incidences of family separation.
ACTION: Ask Congress to protect immigrant families seeking
safety and shelter from violence. Visit
www.justiceforimmigrants.org/take-action/action-alerts/for ways to
contact your officials.

June Activities for Catholic Families
Here are some activities taken from RealLifeAtHome.com
Have prayer time near a fountain or body of water and talk about
the gift God has given us in the Sac-rament of Baptism (the feast
of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist is June 24th).
Have a snack with honey (such as bread and honey) and talk about
honey being part of St. John the Baptist's diet. If possible, use
locally produced honey available at many Farmers' Markets.
Share a story about Jesus with others, just like Sts. Peter and
Paul did. Their feast day is June 29.
Lord, Teach Us to Pray: Exploring the Lord's Prayer All adults
and high school teens are invited to this presentation on the
Lord's Prayer.
Participants will investigate the seven petitions found in the
Lord's Prayer,
allowing for a more in-depth understanding of what we are
praying and why.
Please join us on
Tuesday, July 10 at 6:45 p.m.
in the Parish Center.

HAPPY FATHERS DAY
Daily Mass in June
On June 19, June 20, and June 21, the priests of the Archdiocese
will convene for a priests' convocation, which is a retreat
experience. Priests will gather to build community to-gether and
all are hoping to grow in their own discipleship and inspire each
other to greater witness for the Lord. We pray for the success of
this convocation!
Because most priests will be attending the convocation in June,
the Cardinal has asked that there be NO WEEKDAY MASSES ON JUNE 19,
JUNE 20, OR JUNE 21. St. Cecilia will offer Word and Communion
services on those dates lead by lay women. The Word and Communion
services will be held at the usual Mass time, 8 a.m. The Rosary
will be prayed afterward, as it would be during the week after
Daily Mass. The Daily Mass schedule will be the same on June 18 and
June 22, as it will be the rest of the month. If you have any
questions or concerns, please contact Lisa Mersereau at the parish
office 847-437-6208.

Prayer For Fr. Mike Gracious and loving God, We lift our voices
with gratitude and praise. We thank you and praise you for the

carry out the work you called him to. Most especially, we thank you

our ministries these past 13 years. As Fr. Mike now enters this new
season of life, we pray your loving kindness may keep him from all
harm and bless him with every good gift for a full and fruitful
