Congratulations
Congratulations to the Class of 2018! On behalf of the school and rectory staffs, I would like to wish our graduates the best of everything as they move on to high school. May all the faith, knowledge, and experience you have gained at St. Eugene’s serve you well in the future. You will always be in our prayers.
The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ
Corpus Christi, the Body and Blood of Christ, is a feast day that honors God’s greatest gift to us. This
is the universal feast that began in the year 1624, in the city of Liege in northern France, when a priest of that diocese was elected and became Pope Urban IV.
Throughout the Church’s history, there’s always been a devotion to the Blessed Sacrament. The feast day the Body and Blood of Christ may have started officially in 1624, but the reality of the bread and wine being substantially changed into the body and blood of Jesus, comes directly from our Lord’s command, “This is my Body, this is my Blood, do this in memory of me.” In the Eucharist, Jesus is really, truly, substantially, and abidingly present together with His Soul and Divinity for the nourishment of the faithful. Our belief in the Real Presence is the reason we had a procession last Sunday around the church after the 11:30 a.m. Mass. Normally, the procession would have taken place today, but our eighth graders are graduating at 2:00 p.m. and I wanted to make sure the school faculty had time to set up the church.
Our belief in the Real Presence is also the reason we genuflect in front of the tabernacle. Of course, because of health reasons, it may be physically impossible for some people to genuflect. In these instances, a bow of reverence should be done in place of genuflection. What we must not do is ignore the tabernacle which contains the Real Presence of Christ. We must not walk right by the tabernacle without showing any reverence or acknowledgment. Often, at a wedding or a funeral, I see this take place. I believe the reason some catholics fail to acknowledge Our Lord in the tabernacle could be a result of poor spiritual formation, a lack of weekly Sunday worship, or even a lack of faith. We must pray for these brothers and sisters who have neglected their faith. Through our example, through catechesis, and through prayer, may those who question their faith be strengthened.
The feast of Corpus Christi is a feast of respect and love for the Body of Christ in the Eucharist, in ourselves, and in our brothers and sisters. Yours in Christ,

Prayer with Scripture
We invite you to an encounter of prayer where you can stop from the hurry of the moment and listen to God through God’s Word, in silence, meditation, ad-oration and contemplation. In this short but intense time, we listen to a talk that introduces us into the understanding of the Word of God, which later, we reflect on and meditate in an attitude of faith, discov-ering what God is trying to reveal to us. The prayer is accompanied by the exposition of the Blessed Sacrament with songs to help the faithful enter more into prayer.

ADORATION of the BLESSED SACRAMENT
Mondays in church 12:00 NOON - 8:00 pm
with Benediction at 7:45 pm
By His Eucharistic presence, Christ dwells in our mist.
Out of love He has enriched the Church with His unceasing presence. As God in former days dwelt in the temple
of Jerusalem, He now lives in our churches and chapels. He invites us to remain in close contact with Him. Through Eucharistic
Adoration we concentrate our attention on Him as we yield to the fascination of
His invisible gaze. Opening our hearts, we entrust all our petitions to Him.
Jean Galot, S.J.

The Eucharist gives us strength to produce the fruits
of good works, and to live true Christian lives.
SCHEDULING THE USE OF PARISH FACILITIES AUGUST 2018 THRU JUNE 30, 2019 The calendar year for the use of parish facil-ities by parish ministries is from August 1st through June 30th. During the month of July no events are scheduled. This allows time for the extensive summer cleaning and repairs in the buildings. When summer maintenance projects require Au-gust scheduling, part or all of August may also be unavailable for use by parish and other organiza-tions. The calendar committee will meet after July 1, 2018 to approve the scheduling of events for the months through June 2019. All organizations re-questing space must submit the official scheduling forms (available in the rectory). Forms must be completed in full and returned to the rectory no later than June 30, 2018 No organization should assume that the space and meeting times available in past years will continue to be available during the 2018-19 school year. All groups and parish organizations are, therefore, reminded to await the confirmation of available space for dates submitted before final-izing plans for events.

OUR PATRON, POPE ST. EUGENE I
HIS FEAST DAY IS JUNE 2
Pope St. Eugene I
The feast day of our Patron Saint is commemorated in the Roman martyrology on June 2, the day of
his burial at St. Peter’s. It is good to honor St. Eugene. His pontificate was very brief, from August 10, 654 to June 2, 657, but he accomplished a lot during that short time. He was a gentle and holy man who showed great charity to the poor. He was a great defender of the theological truth that Christ is one person with two complete and distinct natures: a divine nature consubstantial with the Father, and a human nature consubstantial with us. Pope St. Eugene I is a great Saint to call upon for intercession if you find yourself confronted with heresy.

DRESS APPROPRIATELY FOR MASS As warm weather is here, we would like to remind everyone that Sunday Mass is the most im-portant and solemn event of the week. It is not an “informal occasion.” As a consequence, the appro-priate attire for Mass should be characterized by modesty, dignity, and elegance. Clothing suitable for a picnic, or for the beach, can indicate a lack of respect for the Eucharistic Sacrifice.

OUR MISSION STATEMENT
Our mission as Catholics united in faith at St. Eugene Parish is to help bring God to people and people to God. Through evangelization, education and being of service to each other, we strive to make our parish community a holistic community in body, mind and spirit.

We are enthused about the future of St. Eugene and the whole Catholic Church and we pledge our participation in that future. We seek dialogue and open communication with all parishioners in fulfilling the needs of our parish. While recognizing the cultural diversities in our community, we will strive to bring all people together in Christ under a common bond of faith, hope and love.
