Matthew Mitas: REMEMBER THAT JUNE IS THE MONTH OF THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS! CORPUS CHRISTI This is the feast of the mystery of the Real Presence of Christ in the sacrament of His Body and Blood. In observing it, we are celebrating nothing less than this: that the only living and true God condescended to be- come one of His own creatures, and then lowered Himself even further to become their slave, and then degrad- ed Himself even more so to become our food. When we gaze upon the Sacred Host, and fortified with super- natural faith, we are able to perceive with our senses the Master of the Universe and Lord of All. We will ob- serve this great feast today with greatest solemnity, and adore Him with the traditional procession with the Blessed Sacrament here at our parish, starting at 1:30PM. I hope you are able to come (and be sure you keep masked and socially distant when entering and leaving the church for the parade). THE CORPUS CHRISTI PROCESSION THAT SAVED ST. LOUIS? On the day of Corpus Christi, May 25, 1780, a great military force comprising British regulars and warriors from several Indian tribes massed around the new French colony (now under Spanish control) of St. Louis. The 1,600 or so belligerents were poised to strike, but, seeing the townsfolk who left the safety of their walled city and were “frolicking” in the field picking strawberries, they held their ground, not striking until the following day. That would have been the perfect time to strike and pick them off piecemeal. So why didn’t they? The good Catholics of St. Louis were definitely picking strawberries (and flowers, too), but they weren’t “frolicking”. The strawberries were to hand to the priest as he carried the Blessed Sacrament in the procession. It is averred that these Indians knew enough of Catholic practice that they didn’t dare disrupt this great devotion, as the Lord Himself was carried by. When they did attack the next day, the city defended itself very well. The attack was dis- organized and the resistance scattered the Indians with cannon fire and pushed back the British. It was the only attempt on the City of St. Louis in the Revolutionary War; the Redcoats stopped coming! MOST REV. MITCHELL ROZANSKI, ARCHBISHOP OF ST. LOUIS I’m writing this on Wednesday, June 10, and the word just came out that Archbishop Carlson’s term as our archbishop has come to and end, and that Baltimore native, Bp. Mitchell Rozanski, the former Bishop of Springfield, Mass. will become the 11 th bishop (and 10 th archbishop) of St. Louis. All I know right now is that he’s 61 years old and his installation as new archbishop is tentatively set for the feast of St. Louis, Aug. 25. Let us welcome him and pray for him! (On a personal note: I guess it had to happen sooner or later, but we finally have an archbishop who’s younger than I am! Makes one feel old…) QUIZ -A-CATHOLIC With the coming of our new archbishop, let’s make this quiz on his predecessors in office who served here in the Archdiocese. See whether or not you can answer these queries: 1. Name the previous ordinaries, i.e., the bishops-in-charge, of our Archdiocese. 2.

Which bishop built the New Cathedral? 10. The title “archbishop” has a synonym in canon law; what is it? ANSWERS: 1.
