A Church on Mission The National Eucharistic Revival in the United States moved into its second, or parish, year on the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ. In July 2024, the Church in the United States will hold a National Eucharistic Congress. We at Catholic Apostolate Center continue to work with the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and the National Eucharistic Congress organization to assist all in moving out on mission from our encounter with Christ in the Eucharist. On Monday, June 19, Pope Francis met with the organizers of the Congress

Dear brothers and sisters of Saint Katharine Drexel Regional Fraternity, Praise God from whom all blessings flow! In preparation for their Chapter of Elections, Jerry Sanvardine, OFS (Minister) told me that the fraternity planned to attend the 9:30 AM Mass at St. Anthony Church because Our Lady of Sorrows-St. Anthony Parish had this announcement in their Corpus Christi Sunday bulletin: “ON THE HORIZON—OUR PATRONAL FEAST WEEKEND OF JUNE 17-18 SAINT ANTHONY OF PADUA We shall be honoring the co-patron of our parish at all Masses the weekend of June 17-18. While the actual feast day is Tuesday, June 13, liturgical Brothers and sisters, I joyfully announce the results of the Chapter of Elections held in Norristown, PA, on June 11, 2023 for Immaculate Conception Fraternity: Name Position Helpful Info Amanda Jamnicky, OFS Minister Reelected to 3rd term Stephanie Russo, OFS Vice Minister New (previous formation director) Maria Innocenti, OFS Secretary New (previous vice minister) Jeremy Cherelli, OFS Treasurer Reelected Lisa Bechtel, OFS Formation Director New (previous secretary) Mike Stanek, OFS Councilor New Iliana Mendez, OFS Councilor Reelected Let us keep these servant leaders in our prayers!

As we become involved in any kind of ministry, we learn quickly how important it is to be present to others and to value the encounter with the other person. As I begin my term as regional minister, I am personally inspired by the apostolic exhortation of Pope Francis “The Joy of the Gospel.” In our Franciscan vocation, the Gospel truly does bring us joy and we must be renewed continually. When the Word of God finds its home in us, then all of our encounters are transformed by God’s love and grace. Fr. Greg Friedman Franciscan Retreat October 6 to 8, 2023 As announced at our May 6th Chapter of Elections when copies of this flyer were distributed to all fraternity ministers or their delegates, our region has announced our regional retreat weekend for October 6-8, 2023 at St. Francis Retreat Center in Easton, PA. The retreat presenter will be Fr. Greg Friedman, OFM with Franciscan perspectives on the papal encyclical “Fratelli Tutti.” We hope that each of our 24 fraternities in the region sends at least two representatives. Retreats are a special time and space to pull back from the ordinary June 2023 (The following prayer was prayed by St. Pio of Pietrelcina everyday. This might be a simple daily tribute to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, requesting that He remain in our hearts always.) Stay with me, Lord, for it is necessary to have You present so that I do not forget You. / You know how easily I abandon You. / Stay with me, Lord, because I am weak and I need Your strength, that I may not fall so often. / Stay with me, Lord, for You are my life, and without You, I St. Katherine Drexel Regional Fraternity Regional Spiritual Assistant St. Francis of Assisi Friary 1901 Prior Road Wilmington, Delaware 19809 tel: (302) 798-1454 fax: (302) 798-3360 website: skdsfo email: pppgusa@gmail.com
