Like the mystery of the Trinity,
the real presence of the Body and Blood
of Christ in the Eucharist can never be
fully understood, but can only be believed.
. COMING IN JULY!
OUR NEXT PARISH BLOOD DRIVE
In cooperation with the New York Blood Center, our
parish will host a Blood Donation Drive on Sunday,
July 16 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Please go to our
website for more information and who can donate.
Today, Holy Mother Church invites all her children to
honor the Most Holy Body and Blood of the Lord in this
feast popularly known by its Latin name - Corpus
Christi. “Because Christ himself is present in the
sacrament of the altar, he is to be honored with the
worship of adoration.” par. 1418, Catechism of the
Catholic Church. If we regularly come to Mass on
Sunday, the Eucharist, also called the Mass, is familiar
to us. But as with many things, our familiarity with it
may lead to a diminishment of our respect for and
appreciation of this great gift. So today we have an
opportunity to heighten our awareness of this
“memorial of Christ’s Passover, that is, of the work of
salvation accomplished by the life, death, and
resurrection of Christ, a work made present by the
liturgical action.” Par. 1409, CCC. Let us all worship
Christ, our eternal high priest of the New Covenant.
May I wish all the fathers of our parish a blessed
Father’s Day today. And may the example of Blessed
Joseph, the husband of Mary, the Mother of God,
inspire you and intercede for you. May God bless all
fathers and all of you. – Fr. Hoppe.

parroquial para su encuentro mensual, en esta
ocasión dedicando toda nuestra gratitud y
admiración a todos los padres en su día en especial

Para más información, visiten www.usccb.org/peterspence.
LA PROXIMA DONACION DE SANGRE
Nuestra parroquia, en coordinación con el Banco de

otro evento de recolección de sangre el domingo, 16 de
julio, de 9 a 3 de la tarde, en el sótano de la iglesia
(Barretta Hall). Consulte el portal electrónico de la
parroquia para obtener más información sobre los
requisitos para los donantes.
DEL ESCRITORIO DEL PARROCO:
El día de hoy, la Santa Madre Iglesia nos invita a honrar
el Sacratísimo Cuerpo y la Sangre de Nuestro Señor en
esta fiesta que se conoce popularmente por su nombre
en latín: CORPUS CHRISTI. "Ya que Cristo mismo está
presente en el sacramento del altar, se le debe honrar
adorándole...", párrafo 1418 del Catecismo de la Iglesia
Católica. Si nosotros asistimos con regularidad a la misa
los domingos, la Eucaristía, también llamada la Misa, nos
es familiar. Pero como sucede con muchas cosas, la
familiaridad puede conducir a una disminución de
nuestra estima o respeto por este gran regalo. Así pues
tenemos la oportunidad hoy de acrecentar nuestra
conciencia de este "recordatorio de la Pascua de
Jesucristo", que no es otra cosa que la tarea de salvación
lograda por la vida, muerte y resurrección de Jesucristo,
labor que se hace presente por medio de la acción
litúrgica." párrafo 1409 del Catecismo. Adoremos todos a
Cristo, nuestro Eterno Sumo Sacerdote del Nuevo Pacto.
Les deseo hoy a todos los padres de nuestra parroquia
un feliz y bandito Dia de los Padres. Y que el ejemplo del
bandito José, el esposo de María, la Madre de Dios, les
inspire e interceda por todos vosotros. Que Dios bendiga
a todos nuestros padres y a todos ustedes.
-- el padre Hoppe.

Bishop DiMarzio has asked each parish to activate (or reactivate) its Vocations Committee. I am inviting some
adults who live in St. Leo to consider joining this committee.
Specifically, I am looking for adults in their 20”s, their 30”s,
their 40’s, and their 50’s to form this group (I think 2-3 from
each category should be enough). Please contact me SOON
if you are interested. – Fr. Hoppe.
Worldwide Marriage Encounter
“You have made known to me the paths of life; you will fill
me with joy in your presence.” Enliven and find more joy
in your marriage by attending a Worldwide Marriage
Encounter Weekend. The next WWME Weekends are
Sep 15-17, 2017 in Huntington, NY and Apr 28-30, 2017
in Huntington, NY. For more information, call Richard &
Karen Roginski at 877-697-9963 or visit us at https://bqwwme.org.
GENERATIONS of FAITH
This Capital Campaign – with a five-year redemption
period – can be a success because of our faithful and
generous parishioners. Would you like to join them and
make a pledge? The funds generated by this capital
campaign will help us to meet the costs of parish projects
we are committed to doing: 1) Installing a divider into
Msgr. Barretta Hall to create more meeting space for
groups; 2) waterproofing part of the church’s foundation;
3) improving the sound-system in the church (already
partially finished); 4) replace the two boilers in the school
(completed); 5) make needed repairs to the chapel on
52nd Ave (100% complete). As you can see, all the
projects with the exception of #1 and #2 are finished or
partially finished (we could not wait five years!). But we
are really depending on the funds we hope to realize by
Generations of Faith ($250,000.00) to help pay for them.
We owe it to each other to participate as best we can.
Pledge forms can be obtained in the sacristy or the
rectory.
READINGS FOR THE WEEK
Parish Food Pantry
Our Food Pantry is depleted and needs to be re-supplied.
This is a wonderful opportunity for “sharing your bread
with the hungry” (Isaiah 58:7). Please remember to bring
some non-perishable food with you when you come to
Mass next week. Thank you. Rice, beans, cereal, soup,
pasta, baby food are all needed items, as long as they
are non-perishable. We have placed a blue tub in the
church vestibule to accept your donations. Jesus tells us:
“Then the king will say…Come, you who are blessed by
my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you…for I
was hungry and you gave me food…” (Matt 25:34-35).
