J.M.J.
Dear Friends in Jesus, Mary and Joseph, "And do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather, be afraid of the one who can destroy both soul and body in Gehenna." (Saint Matthew 10:28) So Our Lord Jesus Christ exhorts us in today's Gospel. Why are we afraid? Instead of fearing, we place our trust in "the Lord, Who made Heaven and earth." With expectant hearts, we ask Him for all that we need. He is Abba--"Daddy" in Aramaic.
*Happy Father's Day to all of the Fathers in our Parishes. May God reward you and all Fathers everywhere, living and deceased.
*God's Blessings upon Kevin and Mary Arend on the occasion of their 50th Wedding Anniversary.
*The summer is a great time for spiritual reading. If you need a good Catholic book for your shelf, then please let me know.
*A good suggestion was made: Saint Martin of Tours Church could use a Holy Water Container that dispenses the Holy Water. A beautiful Receptacle has been used for many years; however, when one wishes to obtain the Holy Water, he must place his Holy Water bottle in the Holy Water. Perhaps someone has wanted to donate something in memoriam of a deceased person or in thanksgiving to God for His abundant Blessings.
*We will have Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, Confessions and Benediction in Saint Martin of Tours Church on Monday, June 22nd. All are welcome.
*You may have read or heard that our Diocese has funds that have been generously donated to assist those who have been afflicted by COVID-19. For further information, please contact our Parish Office.

"What is Your Question?"
by Father Ben Miriam
Q. Are there any specific requirements for the Chalice that is used during Mass?
A. Here are two principles that are stated in the General Instruction of the Roman Missal. "Sacred vessels should be made from precious metal. If they are made from metal that rusts or from a metal less precious than gold, they should generally be gilded on the inside." (328) "As regards Chalices and other Vessels that are intended to serve as receptacles for the Blood of the Lord, they are to have a bowl of material that does not absorb liquids. The base, on the other hand, may be made of other solid and worthy materials." (330)
