In celebration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. bishops will consecrate the United States of America to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The act of consecration will take place on June 11 during the bishops' spring plenary assembly in Orlando, Florida.

Parishes and individual Catholics are invited to join in the celebration and prepare for the consecration by praying a novena to the Sacred Heart of Jesus beginning on June 3, by participating in 250 hours of adoration, and/or by performing 250 works of mercy.

Today's Gospel, according to John:

God so loved the world that he gave his only Son,
so that everyone who believes in him might not perish
but might have eternal life.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world,
but that the world might be saved through him.
Whoever believes in him will not be condemned,
but whoever does not believe has already been condemned,
because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

Our 41st Annual Funshine Fair is coming July 25–26, and with it comes one of the most important fundraisers of the year — the St. Matthew Super Raffle! This raffle brings in the largest amount of fundraising support for our parish, and we are counting on the support of our entire community to make it a success.

This year’s prizes include a Grand Prize of $1,500, along with additional cash prizes totaling thousands more. Tickets are $15 each, and only 1,000 tickets will be sold. The drawing will take place on Sunday, July 26, at the close of the fair.

To reach our goal, we need everyone helping to sell tickets over the next two months. Volunteers will be available in the narthex after Masses to distribute packets of 10 tickets for parishioners to sign for and sell to family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers.

Thank you for helping support St. Matthew Parish through this important fundraiser! Participants must be 18 years or older to enter.

As our nation pauses today to remember those in the military who have given their lives for freedoms we enjoy, we pray you would have us all look to you for strength, comfort and guidance. Be with all who serve in our Armed Forces.

Bless them and their families. Grant your loving protection. Let peace prevail among all the nations, O God. Especially let your mercy rest upon our land, even as we acknowledge with thanksgiving your past goodness on this country.

If it is your will, preserve the lives of the men and women in uniform as they defend our citizenry. Most of all, we pray that you would turn the hearts of all – military and civilian – to your holy Word where we find the true peace for our sinful souls that surpasses all understanding. Keep us repentant of sin. Move us to know, take hold and treasure your saving grace. In this peace and hope for eternity, we pray.
Amen.
