The Compass

Summer is almost here! In fact, scientists tell us that it arrives officially at 6:28 a.m. on Monday, June 21. It is the longest day, and shortest night, in the year. I know you are looking forward to some well deserved rest. In just a few short months it will be time to hit the books again. So enjoy the extra daylight now!

June is also a very special month for our Church. On June 11 we celebrate the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Pope John Paul II reminded us that June is a special time for this devotion. We know how important the heart is in our own body. It is the center of who we are. We cannot live if it stops beating. When we celebrate the heart of Christ we know that all life and love comes from it.
