Adoration Society
“Would you not spend one hour
with Me?”
Eucharistic Adoration is adoring the
Eucharistic Presence of Christ
Our Perpetual Adoration Chapel gives us an
opportunity to spend an hour of prayer and give thanks
for the many blessings we have received. This hour in
peace and meditation with the Blessed Sacrament can
also be an opportunity to pray for our friends and family
who are sick or just need our prayers. Christ instituted
this Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist in order to remain
with mankind until the end of time (Jn. 14:18).
Our wish is to have someone present for each of the
24 hours throughout the day in silent contemplation
and reflection. We can use more adorers for this
ministry. Please be generous with your time and sign
up for one hour of adoration.
If you have any questions or feel you can sign up for
just one hour per week please call John Klinger 7577454 or send an email to [email protected].
Mass Schedule Change
for the Summer
Beginning June 8 to August 14 there will
not be a 6:45 a.m. Mass.
Please join us at the
8:30 a.m. or 12:15 p.m. Masses.
I used to dream about the kind of house I would live
in when I grew up. I wanted gracious rooms, a large
kitchen, a family room and—for reasons passing
understanding—I wanted a stream running through the
house with a waterfall somewhere in it. The house I
actually live in was more than 100
years old when we bought it. It
needed a boiler, a roof, and a new
bathroom within the first year.
The rooms were small; the
kitchen had no drawers. There were
no closets on the first floor. But it was
ours and we raised our family in it.
The smallness of the house did not
seem to matter to our children’s
school friends who regularly visited, knew they could
call us if there was an emergency, and could count on
a full bowl of fruit salad (strawberries, blueberries, kiwi,
and grapes) in the refrigerator.
It would have been easy to have complained about
the difference between the dream and the reality. My
husband and I might have argued about getting a
bigger home. But we realized that “home” was not
about the building; it was—and is—about the
community and relationships inside.
Had the love not been there, we might have even
become divided over the flaws. I like to think that our
marriage and family were blessed with the grace to see
what was important. I know that in a world of poverty,
we were privileged. But I believe that having each
other and sharing our faith was our strength and our
foundation, and would have been even if we had lost
everything.

ADORACIÓN
EL CUERPO Y LA SANGRE DE CRISTO
(CORPUS CHRISTI)
ACCIÓN DE GRACIAS
El Día de Acción de Gracias que celebramos en el otoño a veces
se ve marcado por una especie de orgullo y autofelicitación por
parte de nuestra sociedad, por no hablar de comilonas que nos
llevan hasta el estupor. Pero la “acción de gracias” que en griego se
llama “Eucaristía” es al revés: lo que nos lleva a ella es el
reconocimiento de nuestras faltas; recordamos nuestra posición
humilde en el universo alabando a Dios, y a nadie más que a Dios.
Es verdad que el alimento del Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo sacia
el hambre de nuestro espíritu, pero también es verdad que ese
alimento crea en nosotros un hambre más intensa aun. Al terminar
la Misa no nos envían a un sofá espiritual a sentarnos en lo que la
Cena del Señor se nos asienta en el estómago; más bien, nos
envían al mundo a ser signos vivientes de esa Acción de Gracias, ayudando a los pobres y desvalidos,
alimentando a los hambrientos, cuidando a los enfermos, protestando contra las actitudes farisaicas. En fin, el
hambre producida en nosotros al hacer el Memorial de Jesús nos tiene que impulsar a vivir “en memoria de él”.

In the Beginning ...
Greetings from Father Gray
Dear Parishioners of St. Gregory the Great,
I would just like to write you a brief note to tell you how
excited I am to be coming into the Parish and to tell you a
little about myself. My name is Fr. Gray, I was ordained in
2011 and have enjoyed every minute of my Priesthood! I
never know what to expect as each day presents new
opportunities to minister to God’s people.

a Priest and am so happy to be beginning my ministry as
a Parochial Vicar at St. Gregory the Great. While here, I
will also get to be the Chaplain to JPII Catholic School!
I’ve heard great things about you and I am honored to be
at your service. It is an exciting time of growth in our
Parish and I am very much looking forward to being a part
of it.
Thank you for your warm welcome and please let me
know if there is anything I may do for you.
God Bless,

stand on Daddy's little fingernail.
Chris's feet are the size of the
Precious Feet pins that have become the symbol

starting to grow. The placenta is now providing
nutrition from Mother. Chris likes pizza.

AL PRINCIPIO ...
Chris es casi dos pulgadas de largo.
Los dedos y los dedos de los pies se
separan. Chris podía soportar
fácilmente en poco la uña de papá.
Los pies de Chris son del tamaño de
las espigas Pies preciosos que se han convertido en
el símbolo del movimiento pro-vida. Las uñas y el
cabello están empezando a crecer. La placenta está
proporcionando la nutrición de la madre. Chris le
gusta la pizza.
"No el que me hizo en el vientre de él? ¿No lo hizo el
mismo Una moda con nosotros antes de nuestro
nacimiento?" Job 31:15
El cuerpo de Chris está formando, al igual que se
formó el Cuerpo de Cristo en el vientre de María.
Oración Adopción Espiritual
Jesús, María y José, los quiero mucho. Les ruego
que perdonen la vida del feto que he adoptado
espiritualmente que está en peligro de aborto. Amén.
Todos los empleados o voluntarios de la parroquia y de
la escuela que trabajan con niños y adultos vulnerables

Saint Gregory the Great Catholic Church is pleased to
offer a preventive health event. Life Line Screening, a
leading provider of community-based preventive health
screenings, will host their affordable, non-invasive
and painless health screenings. Five screenings will be
offered that scan for potential health problems related
to: blocked arteries which is a leading cause of stroke;
abdominal aortic aneurysms which can lead to a
ruptured aorta; hardening of the arteries in the legs
which is a strong predictor of heart disease; atrial
fibrillation or irregular heart beat which is closely tied to
stroke risk; and a bone density screening, for men and
women, used to assess the risk of osteoporosis.
Register for a Wellness Package which includes 4
vascular tests and osteoporosis screening from $149
($139 with our member discount). All five screenings
take 60-90 minutes to complete. In order to register for
this event and to receive a $10 discount off any
package priced above $129, please call
1-888-653-6441 or visit
