Gospel Reflection: Mark 6:1-6a
Jesus's dilemma in this Sunday's Gospel might ring
true for you. In his hometown, Jesus is unable to
perform his usual "mighty deeds.' The people have a
hard time seeing him for who he really is because they
have known him since he was a child. Many teenagers
face this same problem. There are some adults in your
life who will probably always view you as a child, no
matter what you accomplish. Sometimes, people might
bring up past mistakes that you have made, even though
those things don't represent who you are now. Don't let
these things derail you from your path of serving God. It
is not easy, but you can take comfort in knowing that
Jesus went through the same thing. Continue to respect
and honor your family and friends as you do God's will.
Do you know someone who would like to become
Catholic? or someone who is interested in completing
their initiation in the Catholic Church by receiving First
Holy Communion and Confirmation?
The Rite of
Christian Initiation of Adults (R.C.I.A.) process is just what
they have been looking for! Please spread the word to
those you know who have shown some interest in the
Catholic Church, in the Mass or in what we believe. For
more information about the R.C.I.A., please call the parish
office and speak with Fr. Aveni.
Pastoral Care of the Dying... If you have a loved one who
is in need of Spiritual Care or would like to receive
Communion at home, please call the parish office to make
arrangements.
ONE PURE SOURCE
The meaning of our word America flows from one
pure source. Within the soul of America is the
freedom of mind and spirit in man. Here alone are the
open windows through which pours the sunlight of all
the human spirit. Here alone human dignity is not a
dream but a major accomplishment.

New Mass Schedule to begin in September
The purpose of the Parish Pastoral Council, is to advise the
Pastor/Administrator on Parish Life. The foundational source
of Parish Life is the Sunday (Saturday Vigil) Liturgy, therefore
the Weekend Schedule of Masses and Mass attendance is an
area that the PPC regularly examines and advises on, asking
questions: Is the present Mass Schedule serving the greater
community and does it fit with the number of people who
attend.
In those discussions the PPC would consider
Weddings, Baptisms, parking, and priest availability, etc. After
a discussion regarding Mass attendance and Weekend
Schedule, over the past couple of months, the Parish Pastoral
Council has recommended the following Mass Schedule to
begin on weekend of September 12-13, 2015 and I have
accepted their recommendation. Saturday Morning Mass will
be at 8 AM, Confessions will move to 9 AM on Saturday
Mornings. Mass on Saturday afternoon will be at 4:30 PM
throughout the year. Sunday Morning Masses will be at 8:30
AM and 10:30 AM. I appreciate any support and patience
that you can offer, as I know that change can be difficult for a
parish community.
Arranging for Mass Intentions
With the new Mass schedule, there will obviously be an effect
on weekend Mass intentions that have been arranged. Please
call the parish to change any Masses that have already been
arranged. It is by Canon Law supported by a directive from
Cardinal Sean that Pastors and Administrators are bound to
celebrate a Mass for the People of the Parish (pro-populo)
every weekend. Occasionally this Mass can be delegated to an
assisting priest or moved to a weekday for good reason. We
will be open to moving some of these pro-populo Masses to
weekdays though the end to the year to insure that we are
able to honor most of the Mass intentions that have
previously been arranged.
In that same spirit, to help in future planning and scheduling,
beginning in July we will limit the ability to arrange for Mass
intentions to 6 months in advance of the Mass. This will
allow our councils and programs to plan in advance and give
more parishioners, especially those who may have
experienced a recent death, an opportunity to arrange for an
anniversary Mass. Announced Mass intentions will not be
taken for Holy Days of Obligations (including Mary the
Mother of God- January 1, Ash Wednesday, Holy Thursday,
Easter, Ascension, Assumption, All Saints Day-November 1 and
All Souls Day –November 2, Immaculate Conception,
Christmas Eve and Christmas as well as Mother’s Day and
Father’s Day).
