FROM OUR PASTOR, FR. DENNY
Thank You
…to all those who worked so
hard on the Parish Festival of
Hearts
Sandy and Angelo Marcallini did a
wonderful job of coordinating with parish staff and parishioners for the festival. The rain quit thirty minutes before
the parade and the day was basically
rain free. The investment of time and
energy by so many individuals to make
the day happen is truly inspiring. As a
parish we are blessed in so many ways.
Cleanup is always a big chore. Here at
Sacred Heart it is the tradition of the
cub/boy scouts (with the great assistance of their leaders and parents) to do
the massive trash pickup and sweep the
morning after the festival. I want to
thank them for another excellent job.
In Case You Missed the
Announcement Last Week
Once we heard of Father Bob Suit
ending his time as President of Kennedy
High School, we anticipated his transfer
this June. We congratulate Father Bob
on his assignment as a Senior Priest at
All Saints Parish in St. Peters, MO. He is
looking forward to being closer to his
mom and aunts in St. Charles. Father
Bob will be greatly missed here at Sacred Heart. He has been at Sacred Heart
longer than I have been here as Pastor.
Father Bob has always been a great support, confidant and help to me personally. He will celebrate a Mass of
Thanksgiving at 12:00 noon on Sunday,
June 14th with a reception following
Mass. The priest personnel director informed me they are still working on his
replacement for Sacred Heart and it will
be announced at a later time.
Recently I was informed that Father
Michael Grosch is being assigned as an
associate at Ascension Parish in Chesterfield. While it is not unprecedented
for an associate to be in a parish for a
year, it is unusual. I think I was as surprised as anyone at the announcement
of this assignment. Indeed, Father Grosch will certainly be missed, especially
his great homilies, ministry with the
teens and youth. Our prayers go with
him as he continues his preparation in
eventually becoming a pastor. He will
celebrate a Mass of Thanksgiving at
12:00 noon on Sunday, June 7th with a
reception following Mass.
Our new associate is Father Abe Arganiosa. I have met with Father Abe,
and he is excited about coming to Sacred Heart. His first weekend to greet
people at Masses is June 20 & 21. July
6th he will begin a 3 week Institute at
Conception Seminary. Father Abe will
be attending with 2 other priests from
St. Louis: Father Lijo & Father Freddy.
The Language, Culture and Church
for International Priests & Religious
(LCCIPR) program is a three week intensive curriculum designed to acclimate
priests and religious from other nations
to life and ministry in the United States.
The program achieves this objective by
focusing on several areas:
 Public speaking and language
skills, with particular focus
on accent reduction, pronunciation, and American idioms;
 American culture, drawing
material from American literature and the history of the
Catholic Church in the U.S.;
 Work relationships in the
American cultural context,
for example: working with
women in ministry and getting along with the diocesan
presbyterate;
 The preparation for and celebration of Sacraments in the
Church in the U.S., with classes on celebration of particular sacraments and preaching;
 Additional areas of more personal import, such as dealing
with the diversity of cultures
and adaptation, personal
boundaries in relationships,
and dealing with affluence.

Teen ACTS Retreat - July 23-26
If you enjoyed Luke 18, you will be amazed by Teen ACTS! Like the

its practices, prayers and teachings. TEEN ACTS is a way for our parish to
engage our teens in the Catholic faith, educate them in the teachings of the
Church, assist them in having a personal experience of God and support
them in being educated in the Catholic faith as they develop their daily
spiritual prayer life. With it being totally parish based, it has the built in
follow-up opportunities for continued education, faith development and spiritual growth with the support of the
parish community.
Now is the time to sign up! Space is limited and you don’t want to miss out! The retreat is held at Rocky Vine
in Dutzow. We will depart Sacred Heart on July 23 around 6:30 pm and return for the 12:00 noon Mass on July
26th. Registration forms can be found in the rack at the entrance of the Church or on the parish website,
www.sacredheartvp.org. For more information, feel free to contact Bart Castelli, the Teen ACTS Director or Fr.

FROM OUR ASSOCIATE PASTOR
C
ontinuing with our string of
“virgin martyrs”, this week we
have St. Cecilia, a Roman noblewoman of a senatorial family. She was baptized as an infant (see,
they even had infant baptisms in the
early Church!), and when she came of
age, she was given in marriage to a pagan man named Valerianus.
Now after the wedding, as the couple
went to their wedding chamber, Cecilia
told Valerianus that she was already betrothed to Christ, and that the angels
guarded her purity. Valerianus asked to
see these angels (sarcastically, I could
imagine), so Cecilia sent him to meet
Pope Urban I along the Appian Way so
Valerianus could see why she had become betrothed to Christ. He did as she
7
said, and was so taken by the faith
preached by Urban and witnessed by
Cecilia, that he and his brother Tiburtius
were both baptized into the faith. The
three of them became outstanding examples of Christian friendship, and did
amazing things together. They distributed alms to the poor and buried the bodies of those who had been martyred for
Christ.
All this caught the attention of the
authorities, who dispatched an executioner named Maximus to put the brothers to death. But Maximus was so moved
by their incredible faith and acts of charity, that he laid down his sword, confessed faith in Christ, and was himself
martyred alongside Tiburtius and Valerianus.
Cecilia was likewise captured and
condemned to death by suffocation in
the bath of her own home. This is the
bath as we would normally think of, but
a Roman-style steam bath, almost like a
sauna. As it turned out, no matter how
hot the bath became, or much suffocating steam filled the room, Cecilia resisted all day and all night. When the executioners became frustrated, Cecilia met
her martyrdom by beheading. Pope Urban I recovered her body and buried it
YOUTH MINISTRY
next to her friends in the Catacombs of
St. Callistus along the Appian Way.
Today, the beautiful church of Santa
Cecilia in Trastevere houses her remains. It is one of the titular churches,
which as you might remember were the
original parish churches in Rome. The
church has a very interesting history
dating back to the saint herself. The tradition holds that as Cecilia was facing
her death, she donated her home to the
Church to be used as a place of worship.
The present Church is built over that
home, which as you recall, is also the
site of her martyrdom. Excavations in
the 1800’s by the famous archaeologist
Giovanni Battista de Rossi discovered
the house’s foundations under the present-day church, confirming the tradition, at least in some part.
St. Cecilia is most commonly invoked
as the patroness of musicians because it
is said that at her wedding, while people
were singing pagan songs in celebration,
she “was singing in her heart a hymn of
love to Jesus, her true spouse.” Today, as
we remember St. Cecilia’s great example
of friendship and devotion, let’s ask her
prayers as well for our musicians, that
they too would lead us in singing a
hymn of love to Christ!

One of the great assets of our parish is the Adult Walking Track and Fitness Center. Hundreds of parishioners have taken
advantage of keeping fit and healthy by using these facilities. Just a reminder that this area is for “Adults Only.” Neither
children nor babies in strollers are permitted on the track. Please enjoy your adult track and fitness center. But, remember,
children and strollers are NEVER PERMITTED in this area. And, if you are an adult parishioner over the age of 18 and do not
have an access card, now is the time to get one. Visit the Parish Office or website for more info.

Ecuador Breaks World Record for Planting
the Most Trees in One Day
Thousands of people teamed up this weekend to break a
world record while doing something good for the earth. They
planted 647,250 trees in a single day Saturday.
More than 44,000 people in Ecuador planted the trees at
150 sites across the country, snatching the Guinness World
Record from a group in the Philippines, who broke
the world record last year.
This was the most diverse single-day tree planting program
anywhere in the world, with more than 200 species of trees
planted to soak up carbon dioxide and pump out oxygen.
Ecuador holds another environmentally friendly record —
the most plastic bottles recycled in a single week, 87,363
pounds.
Look who came to the Festival on Friday Night
...and returned Saturday!
After the rains left and everyone began to settle in for a
great evening of fun, food, music and smiles, a surprise visitor decided to join in and see what all the fun was about.
Around 7:15 pm we looked up and noticed a hawk
perched on the cross on the steeple of the church simply
admiring everything that we going on. He stayed up there
for a surprisingly long time, oblivious to anything other that
the street party below. He must have enjoyed himself because he made a return appearance on Saturday!
Thanks Cole Koenigsfeld for a great picture!
