Compare this image with that of the Pastoral Associate first reading, from the Prophet Ezekiel. Ezekiel tells us that God can [email protected] take life from anywhere and transplant it and it can grow into Eileen Lancos something mighty. The image that Ezekiel uses is taking the top of a Sacristan cedar tree and transplanting it and watching that top grow into a Jean Malek complete tree, even a mighty and enormous tree. Parish Secretary [email protected] Saint Paul in the second reading today, from the Second Letter to the Christina McCann Corinthians, reminds us that our hope is really in the life to come and Wedding Coordinator not in this life.

If we walk by faith, then God can do mighty things in us. God Sacristan can let the Spirit change us from within so that our life of faith becomes the center of our life and we begin to walk only in the way of the Lord.

[email protected] Sometimes we do not enough time with the Lord and so we forget his daily invitation to live with Him and to receive His Spirit and to live for the Father.

travel was difficult, especially in the winter. He died of pneumonia at the age of forty-three on December 31, 1640, at Lalouvesc. John Francis Regis was beatified by Pope Clement XI on May 18, 1716, and canonized by Pope Clement XII on April 5, 1737. John Francis Regis is the patron saint of lacemakers, medical social workers, and illegitimate children. He is the patron saint of Saint Regis parish in honor of Bishop Regis Canevin who was Bishop of Pittsburgh at the time of the parish’s founding. SALE OF SAINT ROSALIA SCHOOL BUILDINGS. I am pleased to announce that we have found a buyer for the old and new school buildings at our Saint Rosalia site. As you know these are two buildings that have significant costs and are no longer needed for our new parish. This past fall, the Facilities Task Force, along with the parish finance council, recommended that we market and sell these buildings which we did. Over the past months, several interested parties toured the facilities, but one group expressed a real interest in the buildings that made sense for our parish. We had to work out agreements regarding shared access and egress, as well as parking. I am excited that the new school building will continue to be used for educational purposes as a school and that we will be collaborating with good neighbors as we move forward. The sales agreement was signed just last week, and we are working on a closing date for the properties.

To that end, I would invite interested members of our parish family to a meeting scheduled on Monday, June 21 at 6:30 pm in the Social Hall at our Saint Rosalia site. We will have a chance to meet the buyers – our new neighbors – and hear their plans for the buildings. I will be happy to share what I can on the details of our agreement and use of shared space and answer any questions that you may have. This will be a tremendous help to our parish viability moving forward. There is always sadness in closing one chapter of parish life as I know those schools were an important part of Saint Rosalia parish and the life of many people for a long time. But there is always optimism and hope in moving forward to another chapter in the life of our parish as we seek to focus on the ministry and mission of the Church today in service to God’s people. CONGRATULATIONS TO PATRICK AND KAREN MCDERMOTT who are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. Our prayers and blessings to them and to their family on this special and happy occasion. CONGRATULATIONS TO ANTOINETTE CARCIA who recently celebrated her 94th birthday. We extend our prayers and blessings to Antoinette on this special occasion. We are so very grateful for her long-standing service as sacristan at Saint Regis Church. Happy Birthday and God bless you, Antoinette! CONGRATULATIONS TO THE TWO DEACONS who will be ordained for service in the Diocese of Pittsburgh this month:

On Saturday, June 12, MR. DAVID C. SCHMIDT, JR. will be ordained to the transitional diaconate at Saint Fidelis of Sigmaringen Parish in Butler, PA.

On Saturday, June 19, MR. JEFFREY MCLAUGHLIN will be ordained to the permanent diaconate at Saint Joseph the Worker Parish (at St. Maurice Church), Forest Hills.

We offer our prayers and support to both men as they are ordained to service in the Church. May God bless them.

LECTORS AND EXTRAORDINARY MINISTERS OF HOLY COMMUNION. We are grateful to the many men and women of our parish who serve faithfully in the ministries of lector and extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion. These are important ministries of proclaiming the Word and helping to distribute Holy Communion to the faithful. But we do not have enough ministers to serve at all the Masses, both during the week and on the weekends. Please consider becoming involved in those ministries. Training is provided and with more ministers on hand the commitment of those serving will not be overly demanding. If you are interested, please contact Father Stubna at [email protected] or contact the rectory. PRAYERS FOR THE . We remember all the sick of our parish, the homebound and those recently hospitalized. Please remember in your prayers especially NANCY D’ANDREA and REBECCA CASSERIO. May God bring them healing and strength.

PRO-LIFE CORNER

“We urge those Catholic officials who choose to depart from Church teaching on the inviolability of human life in their public life to consider the consequences for their own spiritual well-being, as well as the scandal they risk by leading others into serious sin. We call on them to reflect on the grave contradiction of assuming public roles and presenting themselves as credible Catholics when their actions on fundamental issues of human life are not in agreement with Church teaching. No public official, especially one claiming to be a faithful and serious Catholic, can responsibly advocate for or actively support direct attacks on innocent human life. [N]o appeal to policy, procedure, majority rule or pluralism ever excuses a public official from defending life to the greatest extent possible. As is true of leaders in all walks of life, no political leader can evade accountability for his or her exercise of power (Evangelium Vitae, 73-4). Those who justify their inaction on the grounds that abortion is the law of the land need to recognize that there is a higher law, the law of God. No human law can validly contradict the Commandment: ‘Thou shalt not kill.’” ~ United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, Living the Gospel of Life: A Challenge to American Catholics

THE CHURCH HAS PROVIDED A NUMBER OF EUCHARISTIC PRAYERS that can be used at Mass. There are four options that the Roman Missal provides for regular use (Eucharistic Prayers I through IV). These are the ones most widely used and recognized by the faithful. But the new Roman Missal has provided two Eucharistic Prayers for Reconciliation and four Eucharistic Prayers for Various Needs. Each of the Eucharistic Prayers contain the same main elements: (1) the thanksgiving in which the priest in the name of the whole people gives thanks to God for the work of salvation. This is what takes place in the preface; (2) the acclamation by which the whole congregation sings the Sanctus in concert with the angels and saints; (3) the epiclesis in which the Church implores the power of the Holy Spirit that the gifts being offered will be consecrated; (4) the institution narrative and consecration by which, through the words and actions of the priest, the bread and wine become the Body and Blood of Jesus; (5) the anamnesis in which we recall the Paschal Mystery of Christ; His death, resurrection and ascension; (6) the oblation by which the Church offers the unblemished sacrificial Victim in the Holy Spirit to the Father, but also by which each person present is asked to offer their very selves to God in prayer; (7) the intercessions in which the Church prays for the living and the dead and calls upon the Blessed Mother and the saints; (8) the doxology by which the glorification of God is expressed by the priest and affirmed by the people in their Great Amen.

Some people have expressed their frustration that they do not know which Eucharistic Prayer will be used and that they cannot read along in the missalette. It is interesting to note that the General Instructions for the Roman Missal clearly states that “THE EUCHARISTIC PRAYER REQUIRES THAT EVERYBODY LISTENS TO IT WITH REVERENCE AND IN SILENCE.” It is the option of the priest celebrant to choose whichever Eucharistic Prayer he deems appropriate for that particular Mass. It is not proper that these be “announced” as the great prayer of the Church cannot be broken up by announcements and instructions. I would encourage everyone to take the general instruction to heart and make the Eucharistic Prayer an opportunity to listen intently with your heart, to join your prayer to the prayer of the Church and watch in silence so that you can be caught up in the majesty of that great prayer of the Church and be led more deeply into the heart of the Paschal Mystery. Sometimes if you are flipping around in the missalette you will miss out on what the Church is doing. Let the words of the Eucharistic Prayer touch you heart and lead you more deeply into the intimate relationship of grace, love and faith to which Jesus invites you at every Mass.

PART-TIME WEDDING COORDINATORS NEEDED FOR SAINT PAUL CATHEDRAL. We are seeking one or two people who might be interested in serving as part-time wedding coordinators for Saint Paul Cathedral. This would involve one or two weekends a month. This person would be responsible for coordinating Friday afternoon weddings at 2:30 pm (along with a Thursday evening rehearsal at 4:30 pm) and the wedding rehearsals on Friday (typically from 4:00 pm through 7:00 pm) and the weddings on Saturday afternoon (typically from 1:00 pm until 6:00 pm). Training would be provided. Must be a practicing Catholic and have some organizational skills. We currently have several people who are helping with this ministry, but we need to find one or two more. Compensation is provided per wedding. Please contact Father Stubna if you are interested ([email protected]) or call the Cathedral rectory.

SAINT OF THE WEEK. June 19 marks the feast day of SAINT ROMUALD. After witnessing his father murder a relative over a property dispute, Romuald in horror fled to a monastery in Ravenna, Italy. After three years, the monks asked him to leave as they were not certain of his vocation. He spent the next 30 years travelling around Italy establishing monasteries and hermitages. He was given permission by the Pope to preach in Hungary but was suddenly struck by illness, an illness that re-occurred every time he set out for missionary work. He suffered false accusations by his enemies, an unjust sentence of excommunication for six months, and other trials – all of which he bore with patience, love, and humility. The most famous of the monasteries he founded was that of the Camaldoli in Tuscany. Here he founded the order of the Camaldolese Benedictines, a group of hermits engaged in contemplative prayer, silence, solitude, and fasting for the good of the Church. Today they number about 100 members. St. Romuald calls us to continue to journey to holiness and service, facing the difficulties in life with trust in God’s grace and embracing the crosses that come to us with humility and love.

CATHEDRAL LANDSCAPING. Many thanks to the great group of young adults and adults who gathered with Father Stubna on Saturday, June 5 for our spring landscaping day. Everyone worked hard and we accomplished a great deal – weeding, planting flowers, moving shrubs, and cleaning up the grounds. You really did a magnificent job in helping us to beautify the parish grounds and we are deeply grateful. God bless you.

CONGRATULATIONS TO KATHLEEN W. BUECHEL on the recent publication of her book, The Gift of Belief, published by the University of Pittsburgh Press. The Gift of Belief reveals how Pittsburghers from every strata, creed, and circumstance organized their private resources for the public good. The industrialists and their foundations are here but stand alongside lesser-known philanthropists equally involved in institution building, civic reform, and community empowerment. Kathy, and her husband Fred Egler, are long time members of Saint Paul Cathedral parish.

WINE, CHEESE, AND THE GOSPEL: SPRING 2021. Father Stubna will continue to host the Spring 2021 session of Wine, Cheese, and the Gospel on Monday, June 28. Our topic will be “The Post-Nicene Fathers of the Church.” Join us in person beginning at 7:00 pm in the Cathedral Social Hall for a presentation followed by time for questions and answers until about 8:00 pm. The presentation will also be livestreamed on our parish Facebook page with a link to the livestream on our parish website. It is open to all young adults and adults and all are welcome to attend. Each session has a different topic and is an informal gathering of fellowship and faith as we seek to learn more about what we believe as Catholics. Please mark your calendars and plan to join us for Wine, Cheese, and the Gospel this spring.

CONGRATULATIONS TO: NINA MARIA FILIPPONE, daughter of Adam and Linda (Ferraro) Filippone who was baptized recently at Saint Paul Cathedral Parish.

Todavía con sabor a Fiesta del Cuerpo y Sangre de Cristo del pasado domingo en nuestros corazones. Ahora, debemos de preparar la mente y corazón para iniciar el Tiempo Ordinario. Esto significa que, el Evangelio de Marcos, nuevamente nos lleva por el camino del Reino, a preparar la tierra para que la semilla crezca por si sola y de fruto. “Jesús dijo además: ‘Escuchen esta comparación del Reino de Dios. Un hombre esparce la semilla en la tierra, y ya duerma o esté despierto, sea de noche o de día, la semilla brota y crece, sin que él sepa cómo’” (Marcos 4:26-27). Aquí, claramente se trata de ver la confianza que Dios ha depositado en el crecimiento de cada uno. Dios comienza, poniendo su semilla, y la persona responde. Todo, despacio, llegará a su tiempo. Sin quemar etapas, los resultados aparecen cuando el Espíritu de Dios está listo en la persona. “La tierra da fruto por si misma: primero la hierba, luego la espiga, y por último la espiga se llena de granos. Y cuando el grano está maduro, se le mete la hoz, pues ha llegado el tiempo de la cosecha” (Marcos 4:28- 29). Muchas veces hay desesperanza por no ver resultados rápidos y convincentes. Tal pareciera que el mal vence en el mundo. Sin embargo, no es así; Dios, da comienzo a su obra de santidad con humildad. Saber esperar con paciencia, pero en actividad, es de sabios y de santos. La semilla crece, y la persona lo sabe al sentirse segura y lista para andar por los caminos de Dios. Reto de este domingo: Dejar que el grano de mostaza crezca en mi vida y de fruto en abundancia. ©LPi
