The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ
May 29, 2016
Dear Friends in Christ,
Happy Memorial Day Weekend! Let us remember the brave men and women who have served in the
military, especially those who died in combat.
2016
This weekend marks the unofficial start of summer and a chance to begin a
much anticipated time of year. It is a new beginning for all of our graduates
no matter from our school, local high schools, universities and further
studies. The word ‘commencement’ means a start or a new
beginning. Graduations are a time to give thanks for the gift of education but also to look
forward with great hope for what the future holds. To all of our graduates… may God guide
and protect you in your journey!
The last days of school are also upon us. Some of our local public schools have already finished and Annunciation
Catholic Academy concludes the academic year this Wednesday. I hope that it has been a good year for all of the
children of our parish. The ability to learn and be creative is an incredible privilege. During the school year, many
families are very busy and ‘overscheduled’. May the upcoming weeks of summer be an opportunity for some rest and
relaxation without being on a time schedule. And of course remember that there is no vacation from God. If you are
traveling over the upcoming months, please visit MassTimes.org to find a local Catholic parish at your destination and
please bring a bulletin back for me to peruse.
When you come before the Lord this week, please pray for me. Know that I will remember you and your intentions in
my prayers. May we meet each day in our prayers!
In Christ,
Very Rev. Stephen D. Parkes, V.F.
Pastor

Annunciation Council of Catholic Women Report for the 2014-2016 Term
As we conclude our 2014-2016 term, we wanted to share with you some of our activities over the
past two years as well as announce our 2016-2018 Board and Circle Chairs. During the past two
years, the women of ACCW, who number 151, have volunteered 119,000 hours of service to our
parish, our charities and to the community. We have helped over 31 needy organizations.
Here are a few highlights: we bought home water treatment equipment for some of the families in
our sister diocese, Christmas, Thanksgiving and Easter meals for needy families in our parish, Be An
Angel gifts, countless cookies for our Academy children, monthly dinners (coupled with Mass) for
our UCF students, Christmas toys for migrant children, birthday gifts for children residing at
SafeHouse, snacks for our deployed service men and women, school supplies for the Diocese of
Cuddapah in India, Boxes of Joy Christmas gifts for children in Haiti and Venezuela and last but
important, Christmas wreaths for our fallen warriors.

Stewardship Reflections on the Readings
The more popular name for today’s Solemnity of
the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ is
Corpus Christi, which of course in Latin means
the “Body of Christ.” The Church has celebrated
this feast at this time since it was proclaimed by
Pope Urban IV in 1264.
We are asked on this day to concentrate on two
expressions of the Body of Christ — the Holy
Eucharist and the Church itself. The Catechism
of the Catholic Church (#1327) states the
importance of the Eucharist quite succinctly and
directly: “In brief, the Eucharist is the sum and
summary of our faith.” At the center of every
Mass is our celebration of the Eucharist. The
word “Eucharist” comes from the Greek
word eucharistia which means “thanksgiving.” It
is through the Eucharist which we receive the
Lord’s greatest gift to us, and it should be in
thanksgiving and delight which we receive it.
This holy day should also remind us of all those
things for which we should be thankful. Gratitude
is at the basis of a life of stewardship. It is
through thanksgiving for all we have received,
especially the Holy Body and Blood of Christ
through the Eucharist, that we find the motivation
and the commitment to be good stewards.
The Pontiff Emeritus Benedict XVI in one of his
writings spoke of the Eucharist in this way: “In
the Eucharist a communion takes place that
corresponds to the union of man and woman in
marriage. Just as they become ‘one flesh,’ so in
the Eucharist we all become ‘one spirit,’ one
person with Christ.” Today we thank God for the
incredible gift to us of the Eucharist.

Brothers and sisters:
I received from the Lord what I also handed on to
you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night he was
handed over, took bread, and, after he had given
thanks, broke it and said, "This is my body that is
for you. Do this in remembrance of me."
In the same way also the cup, after supper,
saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my
blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in
remembrance of me."
For as often as you eat this bread and drink the
cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord until he
comes.
