O.L.P.H. Junior Legion of Mary

• To teach the gospel message revealed by Jesus and proclaimed by the Church.
• To build a community where Christian values are modeled and developed.
• To pray and worship together in order to foster a deep, personal relationship with Jesus.
• To practice the Christian call to service by meeting the direct needs of the global community and by promoting principles of peace and justice.

We are grateful to two Sisters of Saint Joseph of St. Augustine, Sr. Kathleen Power and Sr. Josephine Marie Melican, who have accepted our invitation to speak at all Masses for the weekend to explain the lay Associates of the SSJ ; who we are, what we do, who can join and what is the process.

Sister Kathleen will present a basic understanding of the call to religious life in the light of Pope Francis’ dedication of this year to the Consecrated Life.

She will issue an invitation to prayerfully consider becoming a lay associate of the Sisters’ of St. Joseph to all men and women of our parish.

And, finally, she will invite all parishioners to gather with them after Mass in our social hall for questions/answers and discussion.

These two Sisters are very near and dear to us at Sacred Heart as they facilitate our Girls Vocation Club monthly.

We hope that everyone will consider joining the Sisters after each Mass to gain knowledge of the Associate program and visit with Sr. Kathleen and Sr. Josephine Marie.

These are weekly grouping for parish members who meet in a home setting to share & discuss the following Sunday’s Gospel readings.

On Sunday, June 14th, we celebrated a beautiful solemn Mass in honor of our patron, the Sacred Heart of Jesus. After Communion, Catherine Krzeminski was honored with a gift (crucifix) by Fr. Murray, as an outstanding example of a Sacred Heart parishioner who by her example ‘builds up the Body of Christ.’ After the Mass the statue of the Sacred Heart was carried ever so devoutly by the Knights of Columbus. The procession was led by Deacon Darrell Cervasco, C.Ss.R., followed by altar servers, Fr. Murray, C.Ss.R., and then the parishioners. Upon returning inside the church with the statue of the Sacred Heart, the faithful were invited to continue the celebration with International foods, such as foods from the Filipino, Italian, and American communities. We even had a real Italian ice maker from Brooklyn, N.Y. The faithful were also invited to take part in all the many games and activities for family members and children. It seems like the tradition of our Parish Feast is catching on, more and more people are starting to become involved and to show up at the feast day activities. We had more people at this year’s Parish Feast than any of the previous years, thank you everyone for your participation, we had a great celebration, I want to also thank Mark Steighner for taking a movie and photos of the celebration and placing them on keystoourcity.com.  God bless you – Fr. Murray
