June is a month of graduations, ordinations of priests, Fathers’ Day, and summer parties. We also recognize the sacred character of this month: June is traditionally dedicated to the Sacred Heart. As we honor the achievements of our loved ones and enjoy the company of family and friends, we recognize the importance of making room in every celebration for the presence of the Lord. As our Holy

We are reminded that the Church we serve is ancient and universal, and at the same time we
