John the Baptist
John the Baptist was the son of Zachary, a
priest of the Temple in Jerusalem, and
Elizabeth, a kinswoman of Mary who
visited her. He was probably born at AinKarim southwest of Jerusalem after the
Angel Gabriel had told Zachary that his wife
would bear a child even though she was an
old woman. He lived as a hermit in the desert
of Judea until about A.D. 27. When he was
thirty, he began to preach on the banks of the
Jordan against the evils of the times and
called men to penance and baptism "for the
Kingdom of Heaven is close at hand". He attracted large crowds, and when Christ came
to him, John recognized Him as the Messiah
and baptized Him, saying, "It is I who need
baptism from You".
When Christ left to preach in Galilee, John
continued preaching in the Jordan valley.
Fearful of his great power with the people,
Herod Antipas, Tetrarch of Perea and Galilee,
had him arrested and imprisoned at
Machaerus Fortress on the Dead Sea when
John denounced his adulterous and incestuous
marriage with Herodias, wife of his half
brother Philip. John was beheaded at the request of Salome, daughter of Herodias, who
asked for his head at the instigation of her
mother.
John inspired many of his followers to
follow Christ when he designated Him "the
Lamb of God," among them Andrew and
John, who came to know Christ through
John's preaching. John is presented in the
New Testament as the last of the Old Testament prophets and the precursor of the Messiah. His feast day is June 24th and the feast
for his beheading is August 29th.
June 2015: A Home for the Wounded
Heart
Jesus set a high standard for chastity, asking
his followers to live differently from the rest of
the world. Jesus taught things about sexuality
and marriage which we may find difficult to
accept and live, both in ancient times and today. But Jesus asked us to live sacrificially for
good reason. Jesus tells us the truth about how
to love, and so if we respect marriage vows,
practice self-control, and treat each other
chastely, communion and freedom of spirit
will dawn in our hearts and in our communities. Of course, we all stumble and sin, hurting
ourselves and others in the process. Sin causes
profound pain in family life. That is why Pope
Francis once famously likened the Church to
“a field hospital after battle.” Pope Benedict
called each parish a “family of families.” In
our ordinary parish life, each of us fulfills our
mission when we bear one another’s burdens
and help each other heal the wounds. No one
should be lonely or forgotten in a parish. The
Church is a family of those who have encountered Jesus, who confess that he is Lord, who
desire his grace to shape their lives, and so
help each other respond to him. Jesus’s way
enables patience, forgiveness, and trust, so that
we can convert and renew our hearts in ways
that would otherwise seem impossible. Whatever controversies might arise in our culture,
whatever others might do or fail to do, Jesus
and his Sacraments are always with us, and
love is always our mission. See this month’s
catechism chapter for more details.

ST. MARY’S PARISH, BADGER
Sacred Heart Finance Council Meeting Notes
from June 22
1. Finances are in balance, but difficult to see in
report until year-end because of split expenses
with other parishes.
2. Fr. John and Marlene are working on next
year’s budget. Next year’s split will be 67% 24%- 9% with Badger and Falun as we have a
slight increase in households at Sacred Heart.
3. Because of the health insurance complications,
the diocese is putting all parish payrolls into a
new payroll system run by an outside firm. The
transfer will hopefully be complete in October.
This will involve a charge for each person on payroll but should lessen work of bookkeeper although salaries will still needed to be recorded
monthly in the bookkeeping as well as hours sent
in monthly for some employees.
4. Diocesan property and liability insurance
should be slightly lowered this year.
5. Finance council voted unanimously to go ahead
with the building planning process.
6. Fr. John is working on a possible combined
financial planning seminar and end-of-life issues
seminar sometime the first of August.
7. Work on sound system (new speakers) should
happen in two weeks.
8. Next meeting: Tues. Aug. 11 at 5:00 PM
unless permission to go ahead on building planning process is okayed and we need to get started
on that and will need to meet sooner.
