June 8 – Pentecost solemnity
With the solemnity of Pentecost culminates paschal time. It is celebrated 50 days after the Sunday of Resurrection, which is why it receives that name: “Pentecost” means “fifteuense.” On this day the Church celebrates the coming of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles and the Virgin Mary. “This mystery – recalled Pope Benedict XVI – constitutes the baptism of the Church; it is an event that gave it, to speak, the initial form and the impulse for its mission … Pentecost is the party of union, of understanding and human communion.”
June 9 – Maria, Mother of the Church
The day after Pentecost, the Church celebrates the memory of the blessed Virgin Mary, mother of the Church, established on February 11, 2018 by the congregation for the divine cult and discipline of the sacraments. “This celebration will help us remember that the growth of Christian life must be based on the mystery of the Cross, in the offering of Christ in the Eucharistic banquet, and in the bidder virgin, mother of the redeemer and the redeemed,” says the decree that established this memory. It is a day to deepen the importance of the Virgin for the nascent Church, blessed by the gift of the spirit in Pentecost.
June 12 – Sumo and eternal priest Jesus Christ
“The great priest, rather the high priest, is Jesus Christ. As the Letter to the Hebrews affirms, he with his own blood penetrated once forever in the sanctuary, achieving an eternal redemption (cf. Hb 9, 12). Christ, priest and victim, ‘It is the same yesterday, today and always (Hb 13, 8), wrote Saint John Paul II. On this day, the Church reflects on the priesthood of Christ, mediator between God and men, of which those called to the ministerial priesthood and in general all baptized, called to make Christ in all human realities participate.
June 13 – San Antonio de Padua
“Memory of San Antonio, presbyter and doctor of the Church, which, born in Portugal, first was a regular canon and then entered the newly founded order of the younger brothers, to propagate faith between the peoples of Africa, but dedicated himself to preaching by Italy and France, attracting many to the true doctrine. He wrote notable sermons for his doctrine and style, and by mandate of San Francisco brothers, until in Pádua rested in the Lord (1231) ”(Roman martyrology).
June 15 – Solemnity of the Holy Trinity
The first Sunday after Pentecost is celebrated to God, one and triune: “He is the only creator of the world, of all of us: precisely this unique God is Trinitarian, a circle of love,” said Pope Benedict XVI. This day is dedicated to God Love, which precisely because it is, is also “community.” The human being, as a creature called to live full love, is also called to live in relation to God and the brothers.
June 22 – Solemnity of Corpus Christi
In the solemnity of the body and blood of the Lord, the Church pays public and solemn worship, love and gratitude to the Eucharist, the real presence of Christ. It is the best occasion to thank and deepen who God is, who has decided to always stay with us, permanently present at the altar of the churches, and that occurs as food and health. In tune with the spirit of this celebration, in each parish the procession of the Eucharist is carried out through the streets of the cities after the main mass. This procession is the most important of all of the year.
June 24 – Birth of San Juan Bautista
“Solemnity of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist, precursor of the Lord, who still being in the mother’s bosom, being full of the Holy Spirit, exulted with joy for the next arrival of the salvation of the human race. His birth prophesied the Christmas of Christ
The Lord, and shone with such splendor of grace, that Jesus Christ himself said that there were no one among the born of a woman as great as John the Baptist ”(Roman martyrology).
June 26 – San Josemaría Escrivá, founder
“In Rome, San José María Escrivá de Balaguer, PresbyterRoman martyrology). San Josemaría Escrivá de Balaguer was born in Barbastro, Huesca (Spain) in 1902, within a Catholic family.

He left for the father’s house on June 26, 1975. He was canonized by San Juan Pablo II in 2002.
June 27 – Sacred Heart of Jesus
“Solemnity of the sacred heart of Jesus, who, being meek and humble of
heart, exalted on the cross was made a source of life and love, of which they sat
all men (praise of Roman martyrology) ”(Liturgical-Pastoral Calendar of the Spanish Episcopal Conference). The celebration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus is held every year on the first Friday after the celebration of the Corpus Christi.
June 27 – World Prayer Day for the sanctification of priests
The Church celebrates the World Day of Prayer for the sanctification of priests the same day as the solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. This day of prayer was established in 1995 by Saint John Paul II and is dedicated to venerating the love of Christ for humanity that led him to make himself alive offering for the salvation of men. Every priest and every man named to the priesthood is invited from eternity to being another Christ. Pray for increasingly saints.
June 28 – Immaculate Heart of Mary
A day after the solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the Church celebrates the Memory of the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The contiguity between both celebrations expresses the unity between the heart of the mother and the heart of the Son, because in Mary everything is in reference to Jesus, because Jesus loves her as anyone. The Church, who is a mother and teacher, understands that Mary is the way to meet the Lord and thus love him perfectly, as Mary loved him and loves him today.
June 29 – Solemnity of the Holy Apostles Pedro and Paul
“Solemnity of the Saints Apostles Pedro and Paul. Simon, son of Jonah and brother of Andrés, was the first among the disciples who confessed to Christ as a son of living God, being for that reason called Pedro. Paul, apostle of the Gentiles, preached Crucified Christ
To Jews and Greeks. The two, in force of faith and love towards Jesus Christ, announced the gospel in the city of Rome, where, in the time of Emperor Nero, they suffered martyrdom: the first, Peter, as the tradition narrates, crucified head down and buried in
the Vatican, next to the triumphal road; and Paul was slaughtered and buried in the Ostian road. His triumph is celebrated throughout the world with honor and veneration (s. I) ”(Roman martyrology).
