Mass Schedule and Intentions
Act of Spiritual Communion
My Jesus, I believe that you are
blessed in the most Blessed Sacra-
ment. I love you above all things and I
desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot now receive You sacra-
mentally, come at least spiritually into
my heart. I embrace You as if You
have already come, and unite myself
wholly to You. Never permit me to be
separated from You. Amen.

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son…” JOHN 3:16 Is your love conditional? Is there a price others have to pay to receive your love and forgiveness? Are you generous with your time, skills, money and possessions? If you give someone something, do you expect something in return? Do you give your time freely or do you “fit it in” when it’s convenient for you? God de-sires a personal relationship with us so much that He gave us His Son, unconditionally! Pray for a grateful and generous heart.

ND SMP Scam of the Month – June 2020
Protecting Yourself from Medicare Fraud
Every year seniors are targeted by scammers who want to steal their personal information, including Medicare numbers, to do things like rack up fake health care charges and commit identity theft. Individ-uals who are 60-plus are nearly five times more likely than people between the ages of 20 to 59 to fall victim to tech-support fraud, three times more likely to be conned by imposters posing as friends or rel-atives, and more than two times as likely to fall for sweepstakes or lottery scams. In 2018, individuals 60-plus filed more than 256,000 fraud reports with losses of nearly $400 million. Older consumers who are victims of fraud tend to lose a lot more money, often their entire life savings! How to Spot Medicare Fraud: One of the latest scams is “free” genetic testing with scammers claim-ing Medicare will cover the cost. Scammers want your Medicare number to use it to commit fraud and identity theft. Other Medicare scams include offers for free or reduced-pricing for medical equipment, braces, consultations, or other health services. These scams can happen anywhere, through telemar-keting calls, health fairs, and even door-to-door representatives. Do’s and Don’ts to protect yourself from fraud:
DO protect your personal information. Treat your Medicare number and Social Security number like you would a credit card.
DO remember that nothing is ever “free.” Don’t accept offers for free money, gifts or medical care such as treatments for the coronavirus.
DO review your Medicare claims for errors or problems, like fake charges, double billing, or other fraudulent activity.
DON’T show your Medicare card or give your Medicare number to anyone except your doc-tor or people you know should have it.
DON’T accept medical supplies, equipment, or genetic testing kits at from door -to-door salespersons or from callers claiming to be from Medicare.
DON’T let anyone persuade you to receive health care services you don ’t need, only make those types of decisions with your doctor.
Reporting Medicare Fraud: If you think you have spotted fraud, report it right away. ND SMP will help seniors prevent, detect and report Medicare fraud. If you see anything suspicious, contact the ND SMP at [email protected] or call 1-800-233-1737 or 701-858-3580. For non-Medicare fraud issues, contact the ND Attorney General’s Office at 1-800-472-2600. The information provided is intended to be a general summary only.
