Saint Bonaventure Church SAINT BONAVENTURE CHURCH THE MOST HOLY BODY AND BLOOD OF CHRIST | JUNE 6, 2021 As Christian stewards, our mission is to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ to all people through word, sacrament, service and community life. Page two The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ Pastor's corner Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, How shall I make a return to the Lord for all the good he has done for me? The cup of salvation I will take up, and I will call upon the name of the Lord. These verses are found in Psalm 116, which is today’s Responsorial Psalm. These are the verses I had on the holy card I gave out on June 14, 1980, the day of my ordination to the Priesthood. The next verses of the Psalm say it well: My vows to the Lord I will pay in the presence of all his people. The following day, June 15, I celebrated my First Mass here at St. Bonaventure. Again, the verses of this Psalm cry out: To you will I offer sacrifice of thanksgiving, and I will call upon the name of the Lord. After forty-one years, the verses of Psalm 116 are still at the heart of my vocation to the Priesthood. Today is the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ (traditionally called Corpus Christi). Today we celebrate the greatest gift our Lord Jesus Christ gave us—the gift of himself. At the Last Supper, taking unleavened bread, Jesus pronounced the words, “Take this, all of you, and eat of it, for this is my Body, which will be given up for you.” Then taking the chalice of wine, he said, “Take this, all of you, and drink from it, for this is the chalice of my Blood, the Blood of the new and eternal covenant, which will be poured out for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Do this in memory of me.” At the words and actions of Jesus Christ, the Son of God who became man, these simple gifts of bread and wine become the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, to nourish and strengthen us. May the Preface at the beginning of today’s Eucharistic Prayer help us to enter into this most precious gift that our Lord has given us: It is truly right and just, our duty and our salvation, always and everywhere to give you thanks, Lord, holy Father, almighty and eternal God, through Christ our Lord. For at the Last Supper with his Apostles, establishing for the ages to come the saving memorial of the Cross, he offered himself to you as the unblemished Lamb, the acceptable gift of perfect praise. Nourishing your faithful by this sacred mystery, you make them holy, so that the human race, bounded by one world, may be enlightened by one faith and united by one bond of charity. And so, we approach the table of this wondrous sacrament, so that, bathed in the sweetness of your grace, we may pass over to the heavenly realities here foreshadowed. Therefore, all creatures of heaven and earth sing a new song in adoration, and we, with all the host of Angels, cry out, and without end we acclaim: Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of hosts … June 6, 2021 Page three Parish Manager's update MONTHLY ADORATION Please pray for our diocesan priests this coming week as they attend Monday, June 7 a diocese-wide retreat.

  • Pope Names Bishop Kevin Vann to Orange, California; Accepts Resignations of Bishops of Orange, Rochester, N.Y.; Names Apostolic Administrator for Rochester
    POPE NAMES BISHOP KEVIN VANN TO ORANGE, CALIFORNIA; ACCEPTS RESIGNATIONS OF BISHOPS OF ORANGE, ROCHESTER, N.Y.; NAMES APOSTOLIC ADMINISTRATOR FOR ROCHESTER WASHINGTON—Pope Benedict XVI has named Bishop Kevin W. Vann of Fort Worth, Texas, 61, to be bishop of Orange, California, and accepted the resignation of Bishop Tod D. Brown, 75, from the pastoral government of the diocese. The pope also accepted the resignation of Bishop Matthew H. Clark of Rochester, New York, 75, from the pastoral governance of the Rochester diocese and named Bishop Robert J. Cunningham of Syracuse, New York, 69, as apostolic administrator of the Rochester diocese until the appointment and installation of a new bishop there. The appointments were publicized in Washington September 21, by Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, apostolic nuncio to the United States. Kevin Vann was born May 10, 1951, in Springfield, Illinois and was ordained a priest for the diocese of Springfield in 1981. He earned a doctorate in canon law in 1985 from the Pontifical University of St. Thomas (Angelicum) in Rome. In the Springfield Diocese he served as associate pastor, pastor, and on the staff of the diocesan tribunal. In 2005, he was named coadjutor bishop of Fort Worth, Texas, to succeed Bishop Joseph Delaney, who died one day before Bishop-designate Vann was ordained bishop. Bishop Brown, a native of San Francisco, was ordained priest of the Diocese of Monterey-Fresno, California, in 1962. He was named bishop of Boise, Idaho in 1988, and Bishop of Orange in 1998. Bishop Clark, a native of Troy, New York, was ordained a priest of the Diocese of Albany, New York, in 1962.

The most significant of its restrictions is that “Places of worship must limit attendance to 25% of building capacity or a maximum of 100 attendees, whichever is lower. This limitation will be in effect for the first 21-days of a county public health department’s approval of religious services … at places of worship within their jurisdictions.”.” In subsequent weekly meetings with the Pastors and Business Managers of the Parishes of the Diocese, our Bishop, Most Rev. Kevin Vann, has made it abundantly clear that his over-riding interest is in protecting the Common Good, that is, in the health and welfare of our parishioners, especially “the weakest among us,” our Seniors and those with underlying health conditions. Further, Bishop Vann has made it clear that he is not being guided by politics of any kind, but rather and above all by the medical experts at the world-class St.

Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father knowing ... fear not, you are more valuable than many sparrows. – Matthew 29:31 Page two 12th Sunday in Ordinary Time PPastor’sastor’s CCornerorner Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Today I want to offer a prayer for all the Dads on this Father’s Day: God our Father, in your wisdom and love you made all things. Bless these men, that they may be strengthened as Christian fathers. Let the example of their faith and love shine forth. Grant that we, their sons and daughters, may honor them always with a spirit of profound respect. Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen. Today is the Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time. The response to today’s Psalm is, “Lord, in your great love, answer me.” I find this very appropriate. I have been doing a lot of praying during the “lock down time” of the last three months. We were ready to celebrate the opening of our church in March, only to be told to stay home. We have all been through so much. I was so happy when the Bishop offered to bless our newly retrofitted and renovated church on June 14. Originally this was going to be just a livestream Mass. Then with the help of the Bishops of California, including Bishop Vann, as well as Bishop Jaime Soto, a native son of Orange County and Bishop of Sacramento, we were allowed by the Governor to open our churches on June 14.

Little girl, I say to you, arise! Mark 5:41 Page two 13th Sunday in Ordinary Time Pastor's corner Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, On this 13th Sunday in Ordinary Time, the Gospel Reading contains the cure of two seriously ill individuals. The daughter of Jairus, the synagogue official, was at the point of death and a woman had been afflicted with hemorrhages for twelve years. Can you imagine how frantic and anxious this father felt? His beloved daughter was dying and everyone around him was telling him to get ready for her death. Was this the same synagogue official who had scolded Jesus for curing on the sabbath? (See Luke 13:10-17) If so, did he remember that Jesus had cured the woman who had been unable to stand erect for eighteen years? The synagogue official searched for Jesus, and when he found him, begged him to come cure his dying daughter. While on his way, a woman who had been hemorrhaging for twelve years pushed through the crowd around Jesus and touched his cloak. Her flow of blood dried up and she felt cured. Has that ever happened to you? You were sick for a long time but finally started feeling better? Did you feel relief, joy, and many other emotions? This woman, who was now cured, heard Jesus say, “Who touched my clothes?” She became fearful.

He studied and received a master's degree in chemistry at the University of Buenos Aires, but later decided to become a Jesuit priest and studied at the Jesuit seminary of Villa Devoto. He studied liberal arts in Santiago, Chile, and in 1960 earned a degree in philosophy from the Catholic University of Buenos Aires. Between 1964 and 1965 he was a teacher of literature and psychology at Inmaculada High School in the province of Santa Fe, and in 1966 he taught the same courses at the prestigious Colegio del Salvador in Buenos Aires. In 1967, he returned to his theological studies and was ordained a priest on December 13, 1969. After his perpetual profession as a Jesuit in 1973, he became master of novices at the Seminary of Villa Barilari in San Miguel. Later that same year, he was elected superior of the Jesuit province of Argentina and Uruguay. In 1980, he returned to San Miguel as a teacher at the Jesuit school, a job rarely taken by a former provincial superior.
