The Ascension of the Lord
Dear Parishioners,
A heartfelt thank you; I would personally like to thank each and every one of
our students, parents and teachers! We did it! We celebrated our last day of
school and more importantly we celebrated you for overcoming adversity!
Please be assured that we shared many of the same feelings. We shared many
tears, frustrations, concerns, anxiety, sometimes pure exhaustion and many
other negative feelings in the privacy of our own home.
However, we also relied on each other for strength, guidance, mediation, a
listening ear, flexibility and understanding.
We also experienced many smiles, a lot of creative teaching, creative learning,
staying connected in new ways and our positive drive to stay focused and
make the best of a situation none of us signed up for.
All of us experienced firsthand how much we rely on each other. We are fami-
ly ❤. As family we work together! We help each other when we encounter
struggles. We celebrate the joyous moments. We celebrate each other!
As a family also be celebrated our Sacred Heart School Eighth Grade Graduates
on June 2nd at our 6:30pm Mass. All of our Sacred Heart School eighth graders
along with our Sacred Heart School high school, college alumni and their fami-
lies were invited to celebrate with us. The majority of our 8th grade graduates
have attended Sacred Heart School since preschool. Thank you to these fami-
lies for their strong commitment to Sacred Heart School.
Our First Communicants have been patiently waiting to receive the Eucharist
for the first time. We will be celebrating our Frist Communists and the Sacra-
ment of First Communion on June 6th @ 4:30pm and June 7th @ 8:30am. Even
though these Masses are only open to our First Communicants and their fami-
lies we invite you to remember our First Communicants in prayers.
Thank you for being part of our family! Thank you for keeping our Graduates
Congratulations ! The Festival committee is working hard to ensure that we are able to host our 127th Parish Festival on July 26th, although it will be quite scaled back from the big event that we’re used to. This year we’ll be focusing on the basics - our delicious chicken dinners will be available for carry out and drive through pick up. The usual school “carry out” set up will be used for serving the drive through, while the Hall will serve carry out meals to anyone who would like to enjoy their dinner on church grounds. There will be no inside dining this year, but we will have covered picnic tables outside. We will also have the Homecraft booth, as well as Mega Raffle and Reverse Raffle tents. The worklist will be mailed in June, if you were left off it but wish to work, please contact one of the Festival committee members. Thank you so much for your support - this will be “different” but we will still have a great Festival! Watch for festival packets to be in the back of church the 21st.
GIVE ONLINE! Online giving is now available at the Sacred Heart website. Check it out! Go to SacredHeartBethlehem.org and select the donate button. If you have any questions, contact Joann Palm at [email protected]
Sacred Heart of Jesus
Parish Feast Day
There will be a special mass to celebrate our Parish Feast Day, the Sacred Heart of Jesus, on Friday, June 19th. at 6:30 p.m. Immediately after Mass, we will continue the cele-
bration (with appropriate social distancing) and a free ice
cream sponsored by the Altar & Rosary Society. The Feast of the Most Sacred Heart (properly the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus) falls 19 days after Pentecost, on a Friday. The devotion to the Sacred Heart is one of the most widely practiced and well-known Roman Catholic devotions,
taking Jesus Christ's physical heart as the representation of His divine love for humanity.
Reconnect Campaign & Website
The Diocese of Toledo is launching a campaign called Reconnect to assist parishes and the faithful as we continue
to navigate Catholic life during COVID-19 and through the next phases of re-opening. One part of the campaign is a
website with resources for parishes and the public. ReconnectToledo.org has resources to help the faithful, including
spiritual resources and good news stories. Another portion of the website is resources for parishes. These will
continue to be populated with information in the upcoming week.
Fr. James E. Steinle, 94, a senior status priest of the Diocese of Toledo, died on May 23, 2020. Please pray for his family and the repose of his soul. Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Discovering hope and joy in the Catholic faith. June 2020
In the late seventeenth-century France, Jesus appeared to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque and revealed the in�nite love of his heart, wounded by sins. He urged her to spread this devotion, back when people were so afraid of God, they
neglected his love. On this feast, Jesus addresses each of us: “Behold this Heart which has so loved you, yet is so little loved.” When we consider the many proofs of his love, we can’t help
but love him in return.
When the world around us looks very different from what we expect, we lose the calming, soothing peace Christ wants to give us. The best chance we have for achieving peace in the midst of chaos is to move in harmony with God’s will. Try these tips for a more peaceful life.
1. Don’t fearwhat is coming next. Fearing consequences of the pandemic, worrying about �nances, feeling anxious about our health or the health of our loved ones can lead to frustration and dismay. There’s no peace in trying to go it alone. Instead, be open and place all your hopes, plans, and efforts at God’s feet. Let him handle your concerns for you.
2. Be kind and gentle. Resentment,anger, and frustration rob you of peace. Be gentle and considerate of your neighbor. Remember, Jesus was
“meek and humble of heart” (Matthew 11:29).
3. Learn to livewith what you
cannot control. When you
let God help you rise above
such things, you’ll have the
peace acceptance brings.4. Consult the Church for
answers. It isn’t always easy for us to discern God’s will, so Jesus created the Catholic Church. When it doubt, turn to Scripture, the Catechism, or a trusted priest or religious for advice. After all, helping us to achieve Heaven is what they’re here for!
St. Francis CaraccioloOriginally named
Ascanio, Francis was born in the
Abruzzi region of Italy to a noble Neopolitan family. Even as a child, he was noted for his gentleness and virtue. Upon recovering from a life-threatening illness, he became a priest. With a holy nobleman, Adorno, he co-founded the Minor Clerks Regular. St. Francis served reluctantly but effectively as the superior of the order. He was known for his love for the poor and devotion to the Blessed Sacrament.
Alone with God We live our lives in God’s presence whether we are aware of him or not. Take advantage of it and be alone with him as often as possible. Soon you will see him everywhere you are.
“... And in the wilderness, where you have seen how the Lord your God bore you, as a man bears his son, in all the way that you went until you came to this place” (Deuteronomy
1:31).

Cardinals are bishops who elect the Pope. Traditionally, only the Roman clergy did this. Now that the Church is
global, cardinals are chosen from dioceses around the world to represent the Church in the election. They live in their own dioceses but are given titles to
Roman parishes. This way, they are like U.S. Senators. There are different kinds or “levels” of cardinals. The cardinal bishops are the bishops with dioceses in Rome. This group also includes the patriarchs of Eastern Catholic Churches. Cardinal priests have dioceses outside Rome but are nominal pastors of Roman parishes. Cardinal deacons work in the Curia (papal court) full-time. Only the Pope can choose cardinals from the bishops, priests, or deacons, but they must become consecrated bishops �rst. In a special ceremony, the new cardinal receives a scarlet skullcap, a four-cornered hat, and a ring that symbolizes his union with Rome. The cardinals also wear scarlet to symbolize their dedication to spreading the Faith, even to the point of shedding their blood, if necessary.
June 1 – The Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church (2018). On the Cross, Jesus gave us his mother to be our mother (John 19:27). Even in Heaven, she continues to pray and care for us as our spiritual mother. June 11 - St. Barnabas (1st Century). A contemporary of the Apostles, his name means “son of encouragement.” He was a sponsor for St. Paul and accompanied him on his �rst evangelical journey. June 13 – St. Anthony of Padua (1231). St. Anthony gave up a life of
comfort and wealth to become a Franciscan friar. After spending many years in prayer and study, St. Anthony was asked to preach to the heretics, and used his knowledge of Scripture and theology to help convert them. June 24 – The Nativity of St. John the Baptist (1st century). Before St. John was born, his father, Zechariah received a message from the angel Gabriel foretelling his birth. His doubt was punished by his being struck speechless until John’s birth.
Imagine the arms that held Jesus as a child, the hands that guided his first steps, the lips that pressed his forehead. During the month of June when we reflect on fatherhood, St. Joseph can be an inspiration and role model for great fathers. Great fathers give their children a healthy childhood. St. Joseph showed Jesus love, ensured he got an education in carpentry, was kept out of danger and taught him to love God. Great fathers serve a purpose greater than
themselves. St. Joseph knew he had a special role in salvation history, raising Jesus, and protecting his
family. He faithfully ful�lled his role rather than serve his own needs. Great fathers don’t give up. Considering his wife was born without original sin and his son was God, St. Joseph could have given up, knowing he could never match their holiness. Instead, he
used his own gifts to care for his family. These included his skills as a worker, his humility,
and his deep love for Jesus and Mary.
Matthew 10:37-42, Discipleship: challenging but rewarding
St. Joseph, a model for great fathers
In this Gospel passage, Jesus outlines the demands of discipleship in stark terms. First, there’s the question of priorities. For the early Christians, it was illegal to be Christian and the penalty was prison, or worse. To be a follower of Jesus literally meant risking everything. Since he is God, only he is worthy to have �rst claim on our hearts and lives.
Being a faithful Catholic today has itschallenges, too. Much of what Christ and the Church ask of us goes against much of what secular culture approves. Even
without worldly temptations, we have crosses to carry. Following Christ includes taking up our crosses – never
alone, but always with him. The good news is
that Jesus did what he did so
we can do it too. He passed through
death to eternal life, from suffering to
glory, from sorrow to joy. We will too, if we stay
close to him. Each day, with his grace, we can choose to keep his commandments and remain in his love. In Heaven, we’ll see clearly that it was all worth it.
