June 7, 2015 – The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ
“Corpus Christi”
From the Desk of Father Stephen
Dear Friends:
Today’s Solemnity reminds us to honor Jesus, the Son of God, the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity,
in the Eucharist, the Consecrated Bread and Wine of Communion. Let us remember that Jesus is truly present
in the Eucharist. Let us remember to honor and respect this Real Presence of Jesus in our midst. Let us
consider, reflect upon and pray this traditional prayer.
ANIMA CHRISTI
Soul of Christ, sanctify me.
Body of Christ, save me.
Blood of Christ, inebriate me.
Water from the side of Christ, wash me.
Passion of Christ, strengthen me.
O good Jesus, hear me.
Within thy wounds hide me.
Permit me not to be separated from thee.
From the malicious enemy defend me.
In the hour of my death call me,
and bid me come to thee,
that, with thy saints, I may praise thee,
Forever and ever. Amen
We give thanks to God for the two men who were ordained as priests of our
Archdiocese of San Francisco, June 6, 2015, at 10:00 a.m. in our Metropolitan Cathedral of St.
Mary of the Assumption, San Francisco. They are the Reverend Fathers Cameron Faller and
Patrick Summerhays. Both Fr. Cameron and Fr. Patrick have assisted us at Immaculate Heart
of Mary, Belmont, during their time at St. Patrick’s Seminary. We ask that you please
remember them and their ministry as priests in our Archdiocese in your prayers.
Peace,
Fr. Stephen H. Howell, Pastor
Second Collection Today will be for the necessary renovation and maintenance of the Parish Facility.
Archdiocesan Annual Appeal: Our 2015 Assessment is $91,600.00. We are now at 50% point. We have $45,647.22 in
cash and pledge. We ask that you consider making your donation/pledge at this time and joining the 142 parishioners who
have already done so. If you need another brochure/envelope, some are in the Church vestibule or please call the parish
office, (650) 593-6157.
Announcement from San Francisco Archdiocesan Respect Life Program: It has come to our
attention that individuals have been distributing flyers entitled “the truth about birth control pills”
at some parishes. The Flyers state that they were “approved by the Archdiocese of S.F.” This is not
true.
Our Respect Life Program and Office of Marriage & Family Life can provide you with accurate
resources on this and other pro-life and pro-family topics. They will discuss and respond to your
questions and concerns regarding artificial contraception and natural family planning (NFP). For
information please contact (415) 614-5533 or [email protected].

IHM SCHOOL NEWS:
With the school year at a
close and as more families begin their
summer vacations, we share a prayer
for you:
“Give us the rest and refreshment we need this summer.
Bring all of our summer plans, hopes, and dreams to a
joyful conclusion, and bless us, according to your will.
Watch over us in the weeks of rest ahead, and guide each
day as you have done this past year. Help us return with a
new spirit and energy. May we continue to grow in age,
wisdom, knowledge, and grace all the days of our lives.
Amen.”
