“The disciples then went off, entered the
city, and found it just as he had told them;
and they prepared the Passover. While they
were eating, he took bread, said the blessing,
broke it, gave it to them, and said, “Take it;
this is my Body.” Then he took a cup, gave
thanks, and gave it to them, and they all
drank from it. He said to them, “This is my
blood of the covenant, which will be shed for
many.”

with others?
We are in need of extra ministers!
There are several volunteer ministers who take communion to the homebound weekly. With a rotation of

this can be a ministry for you! Contact Cindy at the office.

St. Vincent de Paul is accepting Diapers through Father’s
Day. Put them in the wooden food bin at the entrance of
church. This is a collaboration of the Great Falls Interfaith
Association. The diapers will be distributed through Opportunities Incorporated & St. Vincent de Paul.
Ministers who use purse/pouches to carry the pyx,
this is a reminder to return them to the sacristy if you
are no longer using them. Thank you.
Stewardship
Family Promise: We are getting excited to paint the
interior of the Monsignor House this month. Young
Neighbors in Action is a Catholic Work Camp for youth that is
housed at Central Catholic for one week every year. The young
people come to Great Falls to work with our poor. Don & Elaine
Miller are the site managers for the Camp and they have assigned a team to paint the interior of our Monsignor House. We
have a donor for the paint and we have a team prepared to come
in to tape and spackle before Young Neighbors comes to paint.
Your generosity to the Monsignor House blesses everyone who
enters through its doors. And the doors for Monsignor House
will be open on Thurs, June 11 from 11:30-1:30 to bring in donations, take a tour or have coffee with Kathie. If you have questions, would like for Kathie to talk with your group or committee, or want to volunteer or donate in some way, please stop
by the house or call & leave a message @ 781-5033.
What is the impact of your gift in support of the
2015 Care & Share Annual Catholic Appeal?
Topping the list is helping to ensure a sacramental presence
in all of our parishes in this diocese. There is nothing more
fundamental to our faith and our Catholic family. Your gifts
help bring priests to our diocese, support the formation of
Deacons, and train Lay Leaders of Prayer. Thank you for
your generous support of Care & Share – your stewardship is
truly Proclaiming Christ in our diocese!
Worship
Mary Dupuis 452-6491 ex. 206 mdupuis@holyspiritgf.org
Choir Practice: Music practice is in hiatus for the summer, but all musicians are still invited to share their talents
in leading the music. Meet 1/2 hour before Mass.
Liturgical Tidbits: Liturgy Planning: Good liturgy requires a lot of attention. Many people put a lot of work into
enhancing the liturgical experience: the people who read, the
folks who work on the environment, the musicians who practice. For all of this to come together, there needs to be a team,
ideally in conjunction with the presider, who meet to decide
how best to focus on the feast or season. In order to do this
appropriately, the participants must be catechized and formed
in the meaning of the liturgy, its parts, and the liturgical year.
Does your parish offer sessions you could attend to enhance
your understanding and enable you to contribute to the planning? It certainly does ~ in fact, a number of them. If you are
interested in the emphasis of the liturgical season by decorating, please consider joining the Environment committee,
which will begin meeting this summer. Or you may be interested in attending the wild and raucous Worship Commission
meetings; starting in September, the agenda will include
learning more about why we do what we do at Holy Spirit at
liturgy. Come join us!
Communion Ministers to the Homebound : Thank you so
much for your wonderful ministry to our folks who are not able
to attend Mass. Your work in bringing the Eucharist to them in
the form of communion and fellowship is our connection, and
we appreciated it so much! If you are no longer using your pyx
and pouch, you may return them to the sacristy or the office. If
and when you ever need the use of a pyx and pouch, speak to
the sacristan. Thank you again for your shared blessings.
New efforts beginning this summer and fall:
 Usher recruiting and training
 Environment committee ~ to guide how the parish may
more effectively mark the liturgical seasons
“Being a disciple means being constantly ready to
bring the love of Jesus to others, and this can happen
unexpectedly and in any place: on the street, in a city
square, during work, on a journey.”

the Gospel), no. 127
