SOLEMNITY OF THE MOST HOLY BODY AND BLOOD OF CHRIST The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ is also known as the Solemnity of Corpus Christi, which translates from Latin to "Body of Christ." This feast originated in France in the mid-thirteenth century and was extended to the whole Church by Pope Urban IV in 1264. This feast is celebrated on the Thursday following the Trinity Sunday or, as in the USA, on the Sunday following that feast. This feast calls us to focus on two manifestations of the Body of Christ, the Holy Eucharist and the Church. The primary purpose of this feast is to focus our attention on the Eucharist. Our worship of Jesus in His Body and Blood calls us to offer to God our Father a pledge of undivided love and an offering of ourselves to the service of others. FEAST OF THE SACRED HEART The Feast of the Sacred Heart is a solemnity in the liturgical calendar of the Roman Catholic Church. Institution of the feast was a result of the appearances of our Lord to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque in 1675. The celebration of the feast was extended to the general calendar of the Church by Pius IX in 1856. The "great apparition," which took place on June 16, 1675, during the octave of the Feast of Corpus Christi, is the source of the modern Feast of the Sacred Heart. In that vision, Christ asked St. Margaret Mary to request that the Feast of the Sacred Heart be celebrated on the Friday after the octave (or eighth day) of the Feast of Corpus Christi, in reparation for the ingratitude of men for the sacrifice that Christ had made for them. The devotion to the Sacred Heart is one of the most widely practiced and well-known Roman Catholic devotions, taking Jesus Christ's physical heart as the representation of his divine love for humanity. SLOVAK PILGRIMAGE IN WEST HAVERSTRAW The St. Stephen Society, Branch 716, FCSU is inviting all their members and friends to attend the annual Slovak Pilgrimage at the Marian Shrine on Sunday, August 14, 2016.

The day will conclude at 2:30 with the recitation of the Rosary along Rosary Way. For information call Jozef Bilik 718-353-6541, Henrieta Daitova 201-641-8922, Mária Božeková 347-612-1934 or the Marian Shrine 845-947-2200. PARKING IN THE PARKING LOT NEXT TO THE CHURCH – TELEPHONE NUMBER Everyone who parks in the church parking lot during the holy Mass should leave their mobile phone number on a slip of paper behind the front window so that they could be contacted if someone needs to leave and the car is blocking them.

Počiatky osobitnej úcty k Ježišovmu Srdcu siahajú až do 12. storočia k sv. Anzelmovi a sv. Bernardovi. Po zjaveniach Božského Srdca rehoľníčke Margite Márii Alacoque z rádu Navštívenia Panny Márie vo francúzskom Paray-le-Monial v 2. polovici 17. storočia sa táto úcta začala veľmi vzmáhať. Sviatok Najsvätejšieho Srdca Ježišovho pre celú Cirkev ustanovil až v roku 1856 pápež Pius IX. V roku 1956, pri príležitosti 100. výročia zavedenia sviatku Najsvätejšieho Srdca Ježišovho, vydal pápež Pius XII. encykliku s názvom „Haurietis Aquas“ (Čerpajte vodu), v ktorom vysveľuje teológiu úcty k Božskému Srdcu.

NAJSVÄTEJŠIEHO KRISTOVHO TELA A KRVI Je to slávnosť, ktorou si Cirkev uvedomuje nesmierny poklad, ktorý má. Je to sviatosť oltárna – Kristovo telo a krv, v ktorej je prítomný Pán Ježiš pod spôsobom chleba a vína.“Ja som živý chlieb, ktorý zostúpil z neba. Kto bude jesť z tohoto chleba bude žiť naveky. A chlieb, ktorý ja dám, je moje telo za život sveta.”(Jn 6, 51) V USA sa tento sviatok slávi v nedľu po nedeli Najsvätejšej Trojice. Sviatok „Božieho Tela“ zaviedol pre celú cirkev pápež Urban IV. Bulla Transiturus , ktorou pápež nariaďoval slávenie tohto sviatku, začína slovami: „Keď prišla hodina jeho utrpenia, ustanovil náš Vykupiteľ a Pán Ježiš Kristus pred svojím prechodom z tohto sveta k Otcovi, v predvídaní svojej smrti, počas poslednej večeri veľkú a skvelú sviatosť tela a krvi, pri ktorej rozdeľoval svoje telo ako pokrm a svoju krv ako nápoj. Lebo kedykoľvek tento chlieb jeme a z tohto kalicha pijeme, zvestujeme Pánovu smrť. Pri ustanovení tejto sviatosti povedal predsa svojim apoštolom sám: „To konajte na moju pamiatku“, aby sa nám táto preveľká a všetkej úcty hodná sviatosť stala najnaliehavejším znamením - pamiatkou preveľkej lásky, ktoru nás miloval. MEMORIAL DAY Na Memorial Day si spomíname na tých, ktorí slúžili v ozbrojených silách a obetovali svoje životy pri obrane vlasti v boji za slobodu. Spomeňme si na nich vo svojich modlitbách. ZMENA V PROCEDÚRE NA ZĽAVNENÉ PARKOVANIE PRE FARNÍKOV, ktoré je pre vás vybavené v nedeľu od 10am do 3pm v Garage Management Company Parking Garage na 64. ulici, medzi 2. a 1. Avenue (337 East 64th Street, tel. 212-879-9796). Parkovací lístok, ktorý vám dajú v garáži, si dajte opečiatkovať po sv. omši v dolnej hale (kde mávame kávu) a zaplaťte $3. V garáži len dajte zamestnancovi opečiatovaný lístok a farnosť potom uhradí poplatok priamo garáži. Dúfame, že toto uľahčí slovenským veriacim prísť do kostola aj z väčších vzdialeností, aktívne sa zapojiť do života farnosti a podporiť kostol svojou účasťou na svätej omši, spoločenských podujatiach aj finančne. PRIMIČNÁ SV. OMŠA REV. BRATA BERNARDINA Brat Bernardino Maria Soukup, C.F.R. bol vysvätený za kňaza v sobotu, 28. mája o 9 hodine ráno v St. Patrick Katedrále. Primičnú svätú omšu bude Rev.

Pán Boh zaplať za vašu štedrosť. MLÁDEŽNÍCKA SV. OMŠA Pozývame vás na ďalšiu svätú omšu pre mladých s mládežníckymi piesňami a kázňou zameranou na mladých, ktorá bude bude v sobotu 11. júna o 7:00 P.M. (už s platnosťou za nedeľu). Radi privítame všetkých mladých vekom a duchom. Po sv. omši bude malé pohostenie a diskotéka.
