CSA If you have not

yet picked up your

CSA Commitment

Card, please do so

as soon as possible. They will be available at

both Heritage Hall and at the National Shrine

Conference Center this weekend after the 9

and 10:45 am, and 12:30 pm Masses. They

can also be picked up at the Parish Office

during the week.

This Week This week, Eighth Grade Academy

students will graduate on Monday evening.

The Sixth Grade Shrine Catholic Grade

School students will be promoted to the

Academy on Wednesday evening. The last

day of school is Friday, June 10. Time goes

by so very quickly.

I will be here to celebrate the Eighth

Grade Graduation Mass. On Wednesday I

will be leaving to celebrate my nephews

wedding in Richland, Washington, and will

miss the Sixth Grade promotion and the last

day of school with the volunteer

appreciation Mass. Simply can‘t be two

places at once. Father Lang will do a great

job filling in for me.

Next Sunday is Pentecost and the end of

the Easter Season. I understand that in the

New Roman Missal we will no longer refer to

the Easter Season, but will say Easter Time

instead. One more change to get used to.

Oops My Mistake Last week I reported that the names for

the new Parish Council Members would be

chosen on Pentecost Sunday. That is our

usual practice. I totally forgot that because

Pentecost is so late this year, the Council

Bearings Notes from Monsignor Easton

decided to do the drawing two weeks ahead of time so that

the new members could be at the last meeting of the year.

As a result, the drawing took place at the 10:45 am Mass last

weekend. I want to thank all of those who were willing to

serve and allowed their names to be placed in nomination.

The four new members are:

Brian Wolff

Jack Crusoe

Sharon Bolitho

Candice Schultz

The Council Meeting takes place this Monday.

Mass in Spanish

Beginning this first Sunday of June, Mass will be celebrated in Spanish every

Sunday at 4 pm here at the National Shrine of the Little Flower. Father Espinoza and

the group that has been gathering for that Mass once a month feel that there is a

need for a greater consistency in the schedule for Mass in Spanish. We will try this for

the summer to see how it works. Everyone is welcome; you do not have to be

Hispanic to come.

Rosie, Carlito and Kodiak

Rosie and Kodi went to the lake on Memorial Day. It was a welcome relief from

the heat. We were all surprised at how high the water is. I have never seen it so high.

Your feet get wet when you walk on the dock and you have to take a big step up to

get on the boat. Rosie swam and swam all afternoon. Kodi waded up to his chin.

He would go after Rosie but as soon as his feet could no longer touch bottom, he

would abandon the chase and head for shore.

If you know residents at the facility or you would like to join us

for Mass to pray and sing, you are welcome. For more

information, contact Sister Noreen 248.541.4122, ext. 411.

Mass Intentions Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration Early Birds: We Need You!!!

I envy you. You are at your best when most of

us are at our worst. You are bright eyed and

raring to go when we don't even want anyone to

turn on the lights. I'd like you to wake up a little early and

spend some time with your best friend, Jesus. I have a few

hours open at the Adoration Chapel that would be perfect

for an early bird like you. You'll find that your Adoration Hour

soon becomes the highlight of your week. Think of it, you and

your best friend one on one, talking about the things that are

most important to you. Life is a puzzle. Jesus has the

answer. Fact is, Jesus is the answer and He'll show you how to

put all the pieces together to make a heavenly picture. Stop

by the Adoration Chapel any time to say, "Hello". Your best

friend is waiting for you. Why not call me, Marie Lama, at

248.655.0309, and make a commitment. There are special

early bird hours waiting for you:!

Mary, Mother of the Eucharist, pray for us!

Life Matters ―We shall not weary, we shall not rest, until every unborn child is

protected in law and welcomed in life. We shall not weary, we shall not

rest, until all the elderly who have run life‘s course are protected against

despair and abandonment, protected by the rule of law and the bonds

of love. We shall not weary, we shall not rest, until every young woman is

given the help she needs to recognize the problem of pregnancy as the

gift of life. We shall not weary, we shall not rest, as we stand guard at the

entrance gates and the exit gates of life, and at every step along the

way of life, bearing witness in word and deed to the dignity of the

human person—of every human person.‖ (By Richard John Neuhaus)

CSA Minute Christian Service and Health--Care Ministries

This week, members of the Christian Service Coordinators Association in the

Archdiocese of Detroit will gather for their annual field trip. Through the Office for Christian Service and

Health Care Ministries, your CSA gifts support the work of parish Christian service commissions and

coordinators, who are rooted in Catholic Social Teaching and dedicated to carrying out the social mission of

the Church. The purpose of the annual field trip is to increase coordinators‘ awareness of the types of

community outreach taking place throughout the Archdiocese, as well as to provide an opportunity for

informal networking with colleagues. The outing highlights best practices and encourages coordinators to

consider if what is being done in one parish might work in their own parish setting. Part of the Department of

Parish Life and Services, the Office for Christian Service and Health Care Ministries also includes the Hospital

Chaplaincy program, Ministry to Sick and Caregivers, and the Parish Nurse program. For more information

about Christian Service and Health Care Ministries, or other CSA-funded programs and ministries, please go

Grade School Happenings

Grade 2

The second graders have had such a wonderful

year! Our First Communion Masses on May 1 and May

7 were a stunning example of the beauty of true faith.

During the school Mass on Tuesday, May 10, the

children used American Sign Language to sign the

song, ―I Want to Walk as a Child of the Light‖ after

communion. It is truly a beautiful sight to see 79

children around the altar signing! The second graders

were shining with God‘s love in their beautiful outfits

and sweet smiles.

Along with discussing the blessings of the Eucharist,

we have been working on fractions, measurement

and multiplication in math, and perfecting the Six

Traits of Writing in grammar.

For social studies, the children are researching

America‘s five regions and will be creating PowerPoint

presentations to share what makes their region special

with their classmates. Just recently the second

graders experienced other cultures by attending a

cultural event known as Native Lands. We saw birds

of prey, animals from other parts of the world, and

they participated in Native American and African

dance.

On May 11, the children traveled upstairs to the

Science Lab to dissect sheep eyes to uncover how

the eye works.

All in all it is clear for everyone to see that our Shrine

Catholic Grade School second graders are absolutely

EXTRAORDINARY! Ms. Adams Mrs. Barbuscak Mrs. Nyikes

Roamin’ with Rosie

When last we left Roamin’ with Rosie, Kodi, Carlito and the cousin dogs were looking

for Rosie. They found a note that said that they had to go to the old mailroom. They

weren’t sure where it was. Let’s look in to see what happens next:

Kodi: Hey guys! I just got several emails from our friends. They said that the old mailroom

was the large room located under the St. Therese chapel which is now called the Youth

Room.

Carlito: All right, let‘s go. When I get a hold of that mangy mutt for playing this trick on us, I am going to give

her a piece of my beak. How dare she play such a trick!

Bella: Oh no- I don‘t have a good feeling about this.

Kodi: Yeah, how do we know the dog snappers aren‘t down there?

Carlito: It‘s nappers, not snappers!! And I can‘t believe you‘re scared! There are five of us and only one or two

them.

Charlie: All right- let‘s go.

They rush down the stairway by the ramp doors. The youth room door is open. They enter and in the middle

of the room laying on the floor is a sign.

Carlito: Its says, ―She forgot Hamtramck!‖

Kodi: Hamtramck?

Howie: Is that something to eat because I am getting hungry?

Charlie: Look! There‘s an arrow pointing at that doorway. (on the west side of the room)

Bella: Do we go?

Carlito: Of course, we go. Come on! (starts flying with the other dogs in pursuit).

They all go down the hallway and turn the corner. There, around the corner, is a stairway.

Howie: Where are we at?

Kodi: The sign says, ―Do not enter.‖

Howie: Should we go?

Charlie: I don‘t know, but it doesn‘t look good.

Bella: Maybe we should go back? It looks scary.

Kodi: We‘re so close now. I can sense it.

What will our animal friends do? Go up the stairway or go back? And what is so important about

Hamtramck, anyway? Let the animals know what you think by emailing them at [email protected]. Do

it now before it is too late!


National Shrine Area Girl Scouts 75th Anniversary Celebration

Sunday, June 26, 1:30 to 5:30 pm, National Shrine Conference Center

Do you remember this song? "Make New Friends, Keep the Old, One is Silver and the Other Gold."

All are welcome to this unique reunion celebration designed to invite past and present Girl Scouts,

Leaders, Parents, Grandparents, Great-Grandparents and anyone connected in any way with Girl

Scouting traditions at the National Shrine to get together again. Program-Current National Shrine

troops will have a display area with scrapbooks, photo albums, sashes, vests, troop projects, and

other mementos.

A guest book to sign and a "communication board" will be posted so that former friends can leave

messages and find each other again. Participants are asked to bring a bag of cookies and their own

beverage. The unopened bags of cookies will be donated to the food bank. Also bring your Girl

Scout memorabilia and photos. A commemorative, specially designed patch will be on sale for $3.

Contact Blanche Marie Smith at 248.545.4494 if you have any questions.
