FEASTS & SOLEMNITIES FOR THE MONTH OF JUNE

June is truly a grace-filled month in the life of the Church. As the month dedicated to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, it is filled with beautiful celebrations that deepen our faith and remind us of God’s love, mercy, and presence in our lives. Here are some of the important feasts and solemnities we celebrate this June:

June 7 — Corpus Christi (Solemnity)
The Solemnity of Corpus Christi honors the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist—His Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity. This celebration reminds us that the Eucharist is the source and summit of Christian life. Jesus truly remains with us in every Holy Mass and in every consecrated Host.

June 12 — Most Sacred Heart of Jesus (Solemnity)
One of the most beloved celebrations in the Church, this solemnity honors the loving Heart of Jesus, overflowing with mercy, compassion, and forgiveness. The Sacred Heart reminds us of Christ’s infinite love for humanity and calls us to trust in Him completely.

June 13 — Immaculate Heart of Mary (Memorial)
Celebrated the day after the Sacred Heart of Jesus, this memorial honors the pure and loving heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Her Immaculate Heart points us always toward her Son and teaches us how to love God faithfully and wholeheartedly.

June 13 — St. Anthony of Padua (Feast)
Known as the “Wonder Worker” and patron saint of lost things, Saint Anthony of Padua remains one of the most beloved saints in the Church. He is remembered for his holiness, powerful preaching, and deep knowledge of Scripture.

June 24 — Nativity of St. John the Baptist (Solemnity)
This solemnity celebrates the birth of John the Baptist, the one chosen by God to prepare the way for Jesus. His life reminds us of humility, repentance, courage, and faithful witness to Christ.

June 27 — Mother of Perpetual Help (Feast)
A beloved Marian devotion celebrated by many Catholics worldwide, especially in the Philippines. Under the title of Our Mother of Perpetual Help, Mary reminds us that she continually intercedes for her children and leads us closer to Jesus.

June 29 — Saints Peter and Paul (Solemnity)
This solemnity honors Saint Peter and Saint Paul, two great pillars of the Church who dedicated their lives to preaching the Gospel. Their courage, faith, and martyrdom continue to inspire Christians around the world.

May this month of June draw us closer to Jesus through the Eucharist, the Sacred Heart, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and the inspiring witness of the saints. Let us celebrate these sacred days with prayer, devotion, Holy Mass, and renewed faith.

TODAY'S MEMORIAL, 20 MAY

THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY, MOTHER OF THE CHURCH 💙🤍

First taught by Saint Ambrose in the fourth century, the title of “Mother of the Church” for the Virgin Mary was proclaimed by Saint Paul VI on November 21, 1964, at the conclusion of the Second Vatican Council’s third session. Since that time a devotional memorial to Mary has appeared on a number of proper religious, diocesan, and national calendars. To better focus the Church’s attention on the maternal care of the Blessed Mother for the disciples of Christ throughout the ages, Pope Francis has chosen to inscribe this memorial for the universal Church.

Robert Cardinal Sarah, Prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, provided some spiritual reflections in a commentary accompanying the decree: “The water and blood which flowed from the heart of Christ on the Cross as a sign of the totality of his redemptive offering, continue to give life to the Church sacramentally through Baptism and the Eucharist. In this wonderful communion between the Redeemer and the redeemed, which always needs to be nourished, Blessed Mary has her maternal mission to carry out.”

He also recounted the existing liturgical history of the celebration of Mary, Mother of the Church. In preparation for the Jubilee Year of 1975, her Votive Mass was approved in 1973 and inserted into the Missale Romanum, editio typica altera. Saint John Paul II added “Mother of the Church” to the Litany of Loreto in 1980, and during the Marian Year of 1987, a new Collection of Masses of the Blessed Virgin Mary was issued, including two additional formularies for the Virgin Mary as “Image and Mother of the Church.”

Cardinal Sarah’s commentary reminds the followers of Christ that “if we want to grow and to be filled with the love of God, it is necessary to plant our life firmly on three great realities: the Cross, the Eucharist, and the Mother of God. These are three mysteries that God gave to the world in order to structure, fructify, and sanctify our interior life and lead us to Jesus.”

May 13 FEAST OF OUR LADY OF FATIMA

The Blessed Virgin Mary is venerated under this title following apparitions to three shepherd children Lucia, Jacinta, and Francisco in Portugal in 1917. The message of Fatima includes a call to conversion of heart, repentance from sin, and a dedication to the Blessed Virgin Mary, especially through praying the Rosary.🤍

PRAYER:
O Most Holy Virgin Mary, Queen of the most holy Rosary, you were pleased to appear to the children of Fatima and reveal a glorious message. We implore you, inspire in our hearts a fervent love for the recitation of the Rosary. By meditating on the mysteries of the redemption that are recalled therein may we obtain the graces and virtues that we ask, through the merits of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer.💙🤍
