PARISH MISSION STATEMENT
Our Mission: Knowing that all things in this world
are gifts of God, presented to us so that we can
know God more easily and make a return of love
more readily; recognizing God as the Origin of Life,
the giver of freedom and the source of all that we
have and are and will be; knowing ourselves to be
recipients and caretakers of God’s many gifts;
grateful for all that we have received; eager to
cultivate our gifts out of love for God and one
another. The Mission of the Good Shepherd Parish
is to give witness and to celebrate the Risen
Christ’s Presence in the life of each person.
To accomplish this goal we ask our parishioners
and visitors to recommit themselves to being
disciples of Jesus and in so doing we will
strengthen our community and help one another to
live our faith in the fullest possible way.
“in necessary things, unity; in doubtful things,
freedom; and in all things, charity.” Augustine

They give by going...and...We go by giving!
Welcome Rev. Leon Bonikowski, OSFS on behalf of
The Foreign Missions of the Oblates of St. Francis de
Sales.
St. Francis de Sales (1567-1622), Doctor of the Church,
Patron of the Catholic Press, Patron of the Deaf, and
Founder of the Sisters of the Visitation, served as a young
priest-missionary to the Chablais region of his native France.
Today, the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales - whose unique
charism in the Catholic Church is to spread the spirituality of
The Gentleman Saint - continue his work in the footsteps of
Our Lord Jesus Christ “to the ends of the earth.”
Established in France in 1876, the DeSales Oblates
arrived in North America in 1893 in order to work among the
Native Americans of Oklahoma. Since that time, more than
300 DeSales Oblates serve in North American communities.
Today, many North American DeSales Oblates serve
with 200 other DeSales Oblate Missionary Priests, Brothers,
and Deacons from Brazil, Ecuador, South Africa, Namibia,
India, Switzerland, France, Germany, Austria, Italy, and the
Netherlands.
Fr. William Gore established a new foundation in the
western part of Ukraine, an area where the communists
inflicted their greatest persecution upon the Christian people
of that country. DeSales Oblates from Brazil began
evangelization programs in the slums of Manta, Ecuador. Fr.
Tom Hagan works among the poorest people of Haiti.
Fathers Harry Schlight and Robert Hindley have labored in
the Namib Desert among the poor of South Africa, during
their years under the racist apartheid regime. Fr. Walter
DeSa supports orphaned children in a new African nation
Namibia.
Jesus said to his disciples: “If your brother sins
against you, go and tell him his fault between you
and him alone. If he listens to you, you have won
over your brother. If he does not listen, take one or
two others along with you, so that ’every fact may
be established on the testimony of two or three
witnesses.’ If he refuses to listen to them, tell the
church. If he refuses to listen even to the church,
then treat him as you would a Gentile or a tax
collector.”
Reflection
Jesus acknowledges the presence of sin within the
community of believers and provides a path for
bringing members back into the fold. Only when all
else fails is the sinner to be excluded from the
community. This Gospel makes it clear how
important community is for Christian believers.
Each individual member of the community is
important and necessary. No one can be spared. We
need each other, Jesus reminds us, to pray with us
and for us, to call us to task when we go astray.
There is something special about this shared
prayer: even where just two or three are gathered,
Jesus is in our midst. Even the smallest community
is a privileged place of grace.

Marriage? Enrich your marriage on the next Worldwide Marriage Encounter Weekends (September
19-21, 2014, October 24-26, 2014 and December 5-7, 2014). For more information call 1-800-710WWME or visit www.wwme.org.

Ten Things Pope Francis Wants You to Know about Evangelization
Despite over a year and a half after his election, the praise for Pope Francis continues from people of all sorts of
backgrounds. The media, the public, and the members of the Catholic Church continue to hang on his words and
his actions. Pope Francis has the amazing knack for preaching while embodying this preaching with his own life.
He is not simply a great marketer for the Church; he is a model of evangelization that we can all learn a lot from.
Pope Francis has been trying to tell us more and more about how he hopes the Church can evangelize.
1) Everyone is Meant to Evangelize
Every Christian is challenged, here and now, to be actively engaged in evangelization; indeed, anyone who has
truly experienced God’s saving love does not need much time or lengthy training to go out and proclaim that
love.—Evangelii Gaudium
To be continued…..
Marriage Blessing Our prayerful congratulations are extended to the following couples as they are joined in the Sacrament
of Marriage on Saturday, September 6th. May God’s choicest blessings be yours as you live this Sacrament of God’s Love!
Dominica Penicaud and Luis D’Agostino (St. A’s)

Religious Formation Registration for Students & Children Available
After all the Masses this weekend in St. Augustine’s Church
It’s almost time to begin sessions!
Angela Candreva, our new youth minister and Sue Pagliccia, director of Catechesis of the Good Shepherd will be
available after all the Masses in the back room behind the choir, assisting you with registration. We invite new families to
register with our parish and enroll their children in our fall sessions. We will have all the necessary paperwork to enroll in
our programs. Remember to bring health insurance information as a new form has to be filled out each year, and bring a copy
of the child’s sacrament certificates: if he/she wasn’t baptized here on Martha’s Vineyard, and/or First Communion, if
celebrated off island. Please note the diocesan policy is that all children must have one full year of religious formation prior
to the year of celebrating sacraments.
Tuition will remain the same as last year: $35/child with a $75/family maximum. Also, an additional fee of $45 may be
paid early for children who will be celebrating the sacraments of Reconciliation/Eucharist (2nd grade or older). Checks are to
be made out to: Good Shepherd Parish.
EDGE sessions for 7/8th graders begin Saturday, September 20th in St. Augustine’s hall
Immediately following the 4 pm Mass from 5:00-6:30 pm
Life Teen sessions for high schoolers only start on Sunday night, September 21st in St. Augustine’s hall
From 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm (join us for the 5 pm Mass in the church and dinner at 6)
Families are welcome to join in the meal with their students.
CGS sessions start Monday 9/22 through Thursday 9/25 3:30-5:30 pm, and Tues. evening 6-7:30 pm
Held at the Parish Center, 55 School Street, Oak Bluffs
Religious formation is about a relationship with Jesus Christ, it should not be looked at as just another after school activity
or babysitting. It’s not simply learning “about” God but a time to introduce God and to experience God’s love through
prayer, the Bible and liturgy, and community. All that we do points to the Mass, the sacrament of the Eucharist, which is “the
source and summit of the Christian life.” (Catechism of the Catholic Church/CCC #1324) Students learn about personal
responsibility as well as to their community. Please see the importance of nourishing the spiritual life of your children, and
yourselves in Adult Formation. Visit the parish website: www.goodshepherdmv.com for more information under the Faith
Formation link. Look for us on Facebook at Good Shepherd MV Youth Ministry or Good Shepherd MV.
Can’t stay after Mass? Please stop by and visit us during office hours: M-F from 9:30am-4pm. If you have any questions or
are interested in volunteering in these ministries, please contact:
Angela Candreva 508-693-0342 x14 for Life Teen or EDGE, or Sue Pagliccia 508-693-0342 x12 for CGS.

‘Where two or three are gathered together in my name,
there am I in the midst of them.’ (Matt. 18:20)
Living as Disciples of Jesus in Community: An Invitation
The Gospel of Matthew records five great discourses or teachings of Jesus given either directly to, or primarily to,
his disciples. In reading the introduction to Matthew in our Bible, it says, “No other evangelist gives the teaching of
Jesus with such elegance and order.” The discourses are: Sermon on the Mount (Matt. 5:3-7:27); Missionary Discourse
(Matt. 10:5-42); Parable Discourse (Matt. 13:3-52); Church Order Discourse (Matt.18:3-35) and the Eschatological
Discourse (Matt. 24:4-25:46).
This weekend’s Gospel reading is from the fourth teaching, Church Order. In the narrative before Chapter 18 (Matt.
13:54-17:27) Jesus is shown preparing for the establishment of his church with its teaching authority—that will replace
the blind guidance of the Pharisees (and Sadducees) whose teaching is rejected by Jesus as the norm for his disciples.
Also that Christ’s church will be built on Peter who will be given the authority to bind and loose on earth, and
confirmed in heaven. This authority given to Peter includes the giving of authoritative teaching which was given to him
immediately after he declared Jesus to be the Messiah, the Son of the living God; that confession, remember, was made
as a result of revelation given to him by the heavenly Father.
Last Sunday we heard where Jesus was instructing his disciples about how he must go the way of suffering and
death, and there was Peter protesting that, resulting in the sharpest rebuke given: “Get behind me, Satan” for attempting
to deflect Jesus from his God-appointed destiny. Peter is still a man of little faith. But both he and the other disciples
must know not only that Jesus has to suffer and die, but they too will have to follow him on the way of the cross if they
are truly to be his disciples.
But calling this chapter of Matthew’s Gospel “the Church Order” discourse might be a bit misleading because the
emphasis is not on the church structure but on the care that the disciples must have for one another, it’s about
community life. With a Bible before you, you will see the subheadings: it begins with the question asked by the
disciples, Who is the greatest? (v. 1-5); the Temptation to Sin is in respect to guarding each other’s faith in Jesus, to not
lead another into sin (v. 6-7) and ridding oneself of what causes us to sin (v. 8-9); and the Parable of the Lost Sheep,
teaches to seek out those who have wandered from the fold (v.10-14). A Brother who Sins, teaches the obligation to
correct the sinful fellow Christian, and should one refuse to be corrected, separation from the community is demanded
(v. 15-18); and finally the Parable of the Unforgiving Servant, containing the maxim of forgiveness, teaches to always
forgive fellow disciples who have offended us (v. 21-35). We can relate to this, can’t we? And in some way nothing
has changed, in this Gospel we see the Church of the first century having the same problems that we face today. The
need to stay connected with the source of life, the Risen Christ, bringing about healing, peace, and fullness of life.
Jesus came to reveal God to us; to invite us into his life of union with the Father through the Holy Spirit. The
purpose of Jesus' teaching is to allow the divine life to surge through us so that we become transformed in Christ,
making us more like Him. The “children” or this community that Jesus refers to are the people whose entire being is
about humility, being small before God; being childlike, accepting the invitation and responding to the promptings of
God without the ego getting in the way. Those who help others participate in the divine life so they, the other, may
fully flourish. And it has to always be done with love/charity.
What is Love? Helps us to Know: Who is Love—I AM
I listened to a few homilies given by Fr. Robert Barron and he defines what love is: “It is not a feeling or a
sentiment … it is an act of the will; it is willing the good of the other, as other; and doing something about it.”
Looking again at Matthew 18:20, “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of
them.” Do these words seem to belong in the middle of this chapter? It may appear to stand only in a judicial context
like in today’s Gospel reading, but how else can we live in community, caring for one another, helping others or even
forgiving one another? Sometimes we need to remind ourselves of these words to help us in our attitudes and
behaviors; the members of the Matthean community clearly needed to hear it. Can we begin to see that union of love
between God and his people? That Jesus will always be present within his Church, his Mystical Body, and with
Authority? Take some time to reflect on the different ways Jesus is present to you … in his Word, in Sacrament, in the
Tabernacle/Eucharistic Adoration, in each other, in prayer, in nature, in suffering and death--in all things. Then do
something about it.

YOUTH MINISTRY
Hello Everyone!
I hope it has been a smooth transition back to school for you and your families.
Please remember that our programs start up in just TWO WEEKS! We are all getting excited and
ready for you.
I will be outside of each Mass this weekend to bring registration to you. I look forward to seeing
you and answering any questions you may have.

The EDGE! Welcomes all 7th and 8th graders beginning on September 20th
and will be held right after the 4pm Saturday Mass from 5-6:30pm.

Life Teen is for all those in 9th-12th grade. This year we will kick off our program on
September 21st and will be held after the 5pm Mass and dinner from 6:30-8pm.
Youth ministry dinners will occur after the 5pm Sunday Mass – and all are invited to attend.
The second reading this week starts out by saying “owe nothing to anyone, except to love one another” and the
gospel teaches us practically on how to live this way. The readings are a great pairing.
As we begin another new year as a community let us come and practice living this way. This isn’t easy; it isn’t
about retaliation but reconciliation and we aren’t alone. Take 5 and look for the areas where you may have failed
to love particularly not only in action but also in where you have failed to reach out to someone. May we begin
this new year as a community that reaches out and loves.

Good Shepherd Parish Marian Pilgrimage
Please join us on a personal pilgrimage to reconnect with Our Lady, and through her our Lord. Enjoy April
(2015) in Paris as we begin our journey to Lourdes and her healing waters. Continue in the footsteps of
faithful pilgrims to the Way of St. James in Santiago de Compostela, Spain. We end our journey in Fatima,
Portugal at the Basilica of Lady of Fatima. Thirteen days on a journey of faith. This is a trip for your
bucket list. Please contact Carmen Amadeo 508-693-2797 [email protected] or Laura Rose 508-6939636 [email protected] if you are interested in joining us on this journey.
