Class of June 2007 St. Cyril of Jerusalem School Fed By The Lord Jesus’ words “This is my body” and “This cup is the new covenant in my blood” were only part of his table blessing. Jesus twice said: “Do this in remembrance of me” (1 Corinthians 11:24, 25). This is the good news of today’s solemnity. Like the five thousand hungry souls, we are fed by our Lord. This is not food that satisfies for only a short time, until the next meal. It is food that lasts and changes us. It is food for sharing in much the same way as Melchizedek did when he brought bread and wine to the returning Abraham. As children of God’s reign, we are blessed to be able to receive and share God’s gift. And we do so in the way most appropriate to our state in life—as parents, children, husbands, wives, or religious. © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Missionary Cooperation Plan This weekend, June 9-10, our parish is asked to participate in the “Missionary Cooperation Plan” appeal. Each year the Archdiocese of LA invites missionaries to come and share with us the work of the Gospel being accomplished in the Missions. Most Reverend Thomas K. Mensah, Catholic Bishop of Obusasi, Ghana, West Africa, will speak at all Masses. This special appeal specifically supports the diocese or religious community making the appeal at our parish. The Missions depend upon your generous support, please be as generous as you can. Thank you. Rest in Peace: With confidence, O Lord, we ask that eternal rest be granted to Rose Damiano. Let the perpetual light shine upon her May her soul and the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen. Religious Education RCIA: The next RCIA meeting will be on Thursday, June 14 at 7:30 p.m. in the school faculty lounge.

The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ Sunday Flag Day Thursday, June 14, 2007 St. Cyril School Mural “Church, School, Community” Everyone is encouraged to view the St. Cyril School mural in progress which was painted by students from grade 5 through 8. It was officially unveiled Tuesday morning, May 29 at the school assembly. Its size is currently eight (8) feet by twenty-four (24) feet; when completed next year it will extend to eight feet by forty (40) feet! The theme of the mural is as follows: It starts with Jesus releasing the doves of peace into the community and our school. The “Rosary,” incorporated into the theme, wraps around and connects the entire mural. The “decades” are represented with symbols of music, reading, history, sports, science, art and math. Next years final addition to the mural will include the church, grotto, etc. Take a moment to view this wonderful tribute to our Parish Community!
