ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP:
for the June 10/11 Bulletin
What is eco-spirituality? It is to focus on the ways in which God is seen and experienced in the world around us. It is a way of attuning ourselves to the Holy Spirit, the "Lord and Giver of Life," who is still active in the world — both within and beyond the human family — and draws near to us in divine intimacy. What a timely practice for the season of Pentecost and summertime!

WORLD DAY OF PRAYER FOR THE SANCTIFICATION OF PRIESTS-JUNE 16, 2023
All pastors, catechists, principals
Bulletin Announcement:
World Day for the Sanctification of Priests takes place every year on the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. This day is celebrated on Friday, June 16, 2023. On this special feast, let us pray for your parish priest and for all the priests of the Diocese of Ogdensburg. May our prayer be for their continual growth in holiness, their sanctification that configures them to the Person of Jesus Christ. Every day our priests pray for us and for our intentions as they preside over Mass, hear confessions, baptize, or bury our loved ones. Our priests need our prayers. Take time to tell them that you are praying for them and thank them for their dedication. You never know what your parish priest or pastor is going through, sacrificing out of love for his parishioners.
Mass Announcement:
Today is the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and World Priest Day, which is a day set aside to pray for priests, so we encourage each of you to pray in a special way today for Father______________ that he is strengthened and renewed each day as he serves as a priest of Jesus Christ.

For Father_______, our (pastor, associate pastor) in his ministry to the People of (parish name), that the Holy Spirit will come down upon him and light his heart anew for the priesthood, we pray to the Lord.
That we may never take the presence of our priests for granted, as we cherish the celebration of the Mass and are nourished by the Eucharist, we pray to the Lord.
Prayer for Bulletin
Sacred Heart of Jesus, protect our priest_____in the midst of his work at our parish______________. Comfort him in his afflictions. Give him health of body, assistance in his temporal needs, and your blessing on all that he does. We ask the Holy Spirit to come down and light his heart anew for the priesthood and help him to grow in holiness
