Rose Melnar St. John THE WORD OF GOD Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time Readings: Proverbs 9:1-6 Psalm 34:2-7 Ephesians 5:15-20 John 6:51-58 Wisdom has prepared a banquet of food and wine, an image expressive of God’s communion with us. For those who desire life, Jesus gives his own flesh and blood. Thus we shall be filled with the Spirit. Twenty-First Sunday in Ordinary Time Readings: Joshua 24:1-2a,15-17,18b Psalm 34:2-3,16-21 Ephesians 5:21-32 or 5:2a,25-32 John 6:60-69 Joshua confronts the tribes of Israel: Will you desert your covenant with Yahweh? The desertion of disciples is a prelude to the paschal mystery. With Peter however, let us profess our faith in the Lord, who gave himself up for us all. Twenty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time Readings: Deuteronomy 4:1-2,6-8 Psalm 15:2-5 James 1:17-18,21b-22,27 Mark 7:1-8,14-15,21-23 Through observance of the Lord’s commands, we shall experience the fullness of life. Living in conformity with God’s will frees us from all casuistry about good and evil. We are called to welcome God’s word and to let it take root in our hearts. ANNOUNCEMENTS FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK The Year of Faith is a special year. Believers around the world are called to renew their commitment to the faith that is “always the same, yet the source of ever new light.” Pope Benedict XVI has proclaimed a Year of Faith beginning October 11, 2012 and concluding on November 24, 2013, the feast of Christ the King. The start of this Year of Faith coincides with the anniversaries of two great events that have marked the life of the Church: the 50 th anniversary of the opening of the Second Vatican Council and the 20 th anniversary of the publication of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. What could be more important than our faith? It is the foundation of who we are as Catholic Christians and a gracious gift from God. Yet, in our contemporary world, we are increasingly vulnerable to secular movements that pull us away from our relationship with God. From the beginning of his pontificate, Pope Benedict XVI has worked to gather God’s people into a fuller communion with one another and with the risen Lord. This Year of Faith is a time for us to renew our personal relationship with Jesus and recommit ourselves to the Church. We are called to give ourselves more fully to God by professing our faith in Jesus Christ, His only Son, and this faith is expressed when we profess the Creed. Let us begin preparing ourselves to celebrate this Year of Faith. ST. JOHN CHURCH CLEANERS St. John Church Cleaners for September: Pam Besetsny, Peggy Mendel and Cheryl Brossmann MORAVIA PICNIC APPRECIATION DINNER - AUGUST 19 Please set aside Sunday August 19, for our annual picnic appreciation dinner. Picnic workers are invited to come for a catered noon meal. Please bring a dessert for the dessert table. This dinner is a thank you dinner for all the hard work that workers put in at our 2012 picnic. ADULT EDUCATION (RCIA) Those who are interested in becoming Catholic and who would like to receive instruction to be received into the Catholic Church should contact Fr. Tommy at the Sacred Heart Church Office (361-798-5888). Any baptized adult Catholic who still needs to receive the sacraments of first Penance, first Communion, and Confirmation, should also contact Fr. Tommy. GENERATIONS OF FAITH Registration for the 2012-2013 year will be immediately after Mass this weekend, August 18th and 19th. You will receive your GOF Folder and Class Schedule at that time. You will also find out how to play Church Geocaching after Mass each weekend to increase your chances to win an Apple iPod nano. Some items required on the Registration Form are: Health Insurance Card Information and Sacrament Dates. Registration Forms will be completed during registration this year. GOF participants will be using books this year so your child must be registered by August 19th in order to insure that he/she will have a book. GOF classes will begin Sunday, September 16, 2012 at 9:30AM with an opening Mass at St. John the Baptist. This is also Catechetical Sunday. As required by the Diocese of Victoria, we will be presenting a Safe Environment Training to all students at Ascension of Our Lord and St. John the Baptist Generations of Faith. We will hold this training during the Generations of Faith Classes on Monday, September 17, 2012 for Grade 11; Wednesday, September 19, 2012 for Grades 7-10; and Wednesday, September 26 for Grades K-6 at the Religious Education Department/Rectory. It is imperative to teach students personal safety skills that will enable them to take an active and necessary role in protecting themselves from crimes of: abduction, Internet crime, violence, sexual abuse, physical abuse and verbal abuse. By providing children with the tools to recognize and avoid potentially dangerous situations and people, we will give them a better chance of growing up in a happy, healthy and safer environment. On the first classes, All GOF parents and students are required to attend the Safe Environment Classes; however, after the initial class, only the parents of children grades K-5th grade are required to attend and participate with their children . Of course, the catechists pray that all parents will continue their monthly attendance and take advantage of each GOF session to spend time with your children—you are the first Church and bring such value to our classes! Anyone interested in volunteering with GOF, please contact Dana Daughtry. If you have any questions about GOF, please contact Dana Daughtry at 979-562-2381, home, or 713-822-3019, cell. PRO LIFE NEWS The term “war on women” has taken on a life of its own in political and media circles…Clearly, if a female in the 21 st century wants to behave irresponsibly, she can pay for what she wants! Don’t ask me to pay for it! If you do, you are waging a war on me, on all people of faith, on the Author of life, and on the principles that preserve and protect human rights. Yes, there is a war being waged, but it is not on women. It is on God!

  • Workshop A: 11:15 – 12:30
    Engaging Parents in Faith Formation: Take Advantage of Opportunities Not all parents take on their role as primary educators of the faith; unfortunately many do not have the capacity to talk about, model and witness their faith with their children. They need faith formation too! In our programs we continue to nurture growth in faith in our students and we can also support families and nurture their growth as primary educators of the faith in the home. It all depends on "how" we do "what " we do. In this session, John will share some ideas and suggestions for engaging parents in their A1 child's faith formation. JOHN COLLINS, National Religion Consultant, William H. Sadlier, Inc. John is a retired elementary school principal and grade 2 teacher, former Director of Curriculum, and former DRE and catechist.

ISBN 978- 1-57075-722-8. The series title, “Catholic Spirituality for Adults,” sums up both the approach and the intended readership of this volume. Barron, professor of systematic theology at the University of St. Mary of the Lake, Mundelein (Chicago), presents very solid dogmatic content in a highly readable format. Barron begins from an extensive retelling of the story line of Isak Dinesen’s “Babette’s Feast” (as do many North American undergraduate courses on the Eucharist) then unfolds the intertwined significance of memorial, sacrifice and meal through an examination of the Catholic theology of the Eucharist. This volume breaks no new ground but that is not its purpose, nor does it address such issues as the increasingly problematic nature of “sacrifice.” This book would be well suited to a parish adult study group or retreat group in deepening and clarifying current official teaching in a way that ordinary educated Christians can appreciate.
