https://nationalcelebratelifeday.com/
Email from Mike:
Greetings All,
Please see the link above for information on National Celebrate Life Day, on Saturday morning, to be held on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. The speaker line-up is impressive.
As you may recall, June 24th is the first anniversary of the Dobbs decision, which overruled the infamous Roe v. Wade decision.
Up and back free bus transportation is being provided from St. Joseph’s Church on Buford Rd.
Email from Darius:
Hi All,
There will be one bus leaving from Richmond to go to DC for the National Celebrate Life Day rally.
It will leave at 7:30 AM, Sat. June 24, from St. Joseph Catholic Parish, 828 Buford Rd., N. Chesterfield, VA.
For the schedule and to register go to:

AN ACT OF REPAR ATION
SOLEMNITY OF THE SACRED HEART FRIDAY, JUNE 16
LITANY TO THE SACRED HEART
An invitation from the leadership of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops:
https://www.kofc.org/en/resources/communications/litany-to-the-sacred-heart.pdf
Bishops Call for the Litany of the Sacred Heart
On Friday, we celebrate the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. A day when Christians around the world spend time reflecting on Christ’s everlasting love for us and the ultimate sacrifice He paid for us on the cross, visible in a special way in the image of His pierced heart.
This Tuesday, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, alongside Archbishop José Gomez of Los Angeles, called us all to prayer as a professional baseball team decides to honor a group this Friday that heartbreakingly disrespects and mocks our Lord, His Mother, religious sisters, and our faith.
We invite you to answer the call to prayer with a new 12-Day Sacred Heart Prayer Challenge starting this Friday guided by Trevor Williams, catholic husband, father, and starting major league pitcher for the Washington Nationals. Together we’ll pray the Litany of the Sacred Heart, the Sacred Heart Novena, and more as we pray that our hearts and our world might be conformed to Jesus’ most Sacred Heart.
For more context on the events surrounding the Bishops’ call to prayer and for an interview with Trevor on the topic, you can read more here.

Prayer Request
From Steve R:
Leon -
Please, if it is the MM's custom, send this prayer request to the group. I need prayers as I undergo yet another surgery, this time dealing with my stomach area. It has been a crazy 13 months for me. It is outpatient surgery with a follow up procedure in a week. But I am getting knocked out and, as routine as I was that this will be, nothing has been routine for me in 13 months. So please, keep me in your prayers for a safe and successful surgery, and a complications free recovery period. It is for 9:00 tomorrow (Wednesday) but even if you don't get this out in time for the surgery, please send it when you can for prayers for my recovery.
God Bless you and the SBMM!
Saint Bridget, Pray For Us!
Blessings,
Steve
