Thank you for your generosity!

Corpus Christi

We as a people have made a new covenant with God to do His will and God has promised to be with us in and through Christ. It is this real presence among us that we celebrate today. We are made one with Christ and God in the Eucharist. As we commemorate this feast, let us not forget our part in making God present. We are part of the Body of Christ, too.

Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital

There will be a second collection today for Cardinal Glennon Hospital. This hospital no longer belongs to the diocese but the needs of the children have not stopped. The Sisters of Mercy have purchased the hospital and need our help to continue the work. Please be generous to the little ones.

MS. BURGOON CELEBRATION

Our parish school principal, Ms. Roseanne Burgoon will be honored at the 9:30 am mass today. She has completed her doctoral work in educational administration and her dissertation is now accepted. We congratulate her and are proud of her accomplishment. Please join her family, the parish and student body at the reception to follow in the cafeteria.

DIACONATE ASSIGNMENT

Mr. Allen Boedeker from our parish will be ordained on June 7 at the St. Louis Cathedral and will assist at a mass of thanksgiving on June 8 at MPB at 11:00 am. We will formally welcome him to the parish staff at a reception after the 11:00 am mass on June 8. Please join us and welcome Mr. Boedeker.

BOARD OF EDUCATION

The regular monthly meeting has been canceled for the month. Please make a note of this change.

LAST DAY OF SCHOOL

Friday, June 6, will be the last day of school for MPB students. The closing mass will be at 8:00 am. Parents are invited to join the children as we pray for a safe and relaxing summer. We wish them the best.

LEAVING EARLY

It is becoming more and more of a problem to see so many leave mass early. This is not respectful of the liturgy and certainly not respectful of the Lord's presence. To eat and run may be something you do at McDonalds but God deserves better. Please correct this behavior.

QUOTE FROM THE CHURCH'S SOCIAL TEACHINGS

...it belongs to the laity, without waiting passively for orders and directives, to take the initiative freely and to infuse a Christian spirit into the mentality, customs, laws and structures of their communities. Populorum Progressio #381

PROUD OF OUR STUDENTS ONGOING SERVICE

The students from Grade 6 of the day school and Grade 5 PSR have been making monthly visits to Green Park Resident Center. They've shared in activities such as bingo, beach ball, washers, and parties. They've shared conversation and earned mutual respect. The residents have always appreciated the kindness and respect of the MPB students. Green Park Resident Center gave the students a barbecue to say "thank you" in May. They all enjoyed the great time, great weather, and great food together. The "generation gap" is decreasing due to open communication and shared respect for one another.
We thank Mrs. Kathy Harangozo who teaches the sixth grade in our school and the fifth grade students in PSR. She goes to Green Park with her students every year. Some of the students continue visiting the nursing home during the summer.

50+ NEWS
