WEEKLY LAWN CREW “God’s infinite love for each one of us helps us to grasp our identity and our worth. The recognition of this dignity leads us to respect and protect each person’s life…” —Respect Life Program pamphlet, Advance Medical Directives: Planning for Your Future, USCCB Secretariat of Pro-Life Activities SJV PASTORAL COUNCIL (PC) MEETING Minutes — Meeting held on September 25, 2014; from 7:30-8:30 p.m. A : PC members: Fr. George Sabol, Fr. Reto Davatz, Deacon Johhny Rentas, Deacon Frank Przybylek, Deacon Carlos Garcia, Trina Burke, Lourdes Fontanes (Recorder), Paul Bleess, Sue Baird and Maria Laboy (Facilitator). Representa ves from various ministries/guests: Karl Kuhlken, Chris Butler, Amelia Kuhlken, Julio Cesar Morales, Joe Calderara, Phyllis Major, Lori Dixon, Aracelis Aranda, Adolfo Miramontes, Frank Moran, Barbara Hallstrom, Frances Rentas, Peggy Lynch, Stephanie Talley and Olga Caubo, and Javier Cortez. The purpose of this mee ng was to welcome our new friars, and to provide a forum for them to effortlessly meet the leaders of the various ministries. Introduc ons made by all in a endance, as follows: Fr. George, who arrived at SJV on September 23, shared that he has lived in several states in the U.S., and also in Canada, Costa Rica and Brazil. Fr. Reto has been in SJV for a few weeks now, he comes from Canada. He has been a friar since 2004, and an ordained priest for three years. He is assigned to Blessed Trinity High School, but will be a weekend assistant at SJV. Each of the ministry leaders had a brief opportunity to introduce themselves, sta ng how long they have been ac ve in the parish, and describing their ministry. Eighteen ministries were represented. N ( ): Minutes of the PC mee ng held April 28 were approved, following a correc on by Deacon Frank, who stated a Building Commi ee is not ac ve, and that there is a need to find out what exactly was submi ed on behalf of SJV to the Archdioceses this summer, so that our new Pastor can follow up on this important ma er. Ministry Rosters – Maria recently updated hardcopy SJV staff and ministry rosters, and asked everyone to look at such, to ensure we have the correct names, phone numbers and email addresses. Updates to the SJV Website and other Social Media -- Chris Butler has been hired as Informa on Technology Specialist, she is also an ac ve member of SJV. She is responsible for upda ng the parish’s website and social media pages. New and/or improved online resources include the following: P C – Here you can find out when an event is taking place, the mee ng room that was reserved for the event, name of the event organizer, etc. It is cri cal that anyone planning a mee ng or event at SJV first contact the office staff at 770-941-2807, or email the parish at parishoffi[email protected]. There have been instances when someone who reserved a room gets to church, to find out someone else is using that same room. The online calendar should alleviate these concerns, as now anyone can check out the online calendar prior to organizing the event; if the room shows as available, contact the office and reserve it. E I S U -Visit our website, www.sjvpar.net, and sign up to receive our new SJV Newsle er, and other news/ no fica ons from the parish. F – Like us and follow us on Facebook, at www.facebook.com/SJVLithiaSprings. P L W P A - Send photos of SJV to share in our website, send to [email protected]. W S - Go online to find out when you are scheduled to serve as Eucharis c Minister. To make your search easier, informa on is sorted by date and name. SJV M –Chris Butler will be contac ng each ministry leader to obtain informa on for pos ng on our website. As a minimum, we should have a list of all ministries, a brief descrip on of what the ministry is chartered to do, and point of contact informa on. R – Enhancements will be made to the current electronic form, and other relevant material will be posted to make the process more informa ve and easier. C R : F F – Informa on presented by Karl Kulhken, on behalf of Sharon Loiselle, Director of Forma on: Tui on collected thus far is $17,000; and we have 200 families that are making par al payments or have not paid. Students enrolled as follows: 80 for Pre-K to 1st Grade classes; 228 for 2nd to 5th grade classes on Tuesday/ Wednesday; 134 for EDGE (6th-8th grade) including Sacramental Prepara on, and 139 in LifeTeen (high school) on Sunday evening. Forty-Two are a ending Confirma on classes on Sunday at 4:00 pm; and 135 are enrolled to receive First Eucharist. As you can see, we are very blessed with these many children and adults enrolled for the various Faith Forma on Classes at SJV, but it gets crowded due to lack of space. There is a need to address space needs for the future. F – Paul Bleess reported that we ended the fiscal year $13,000 ahead of plan, through expense reduc ons and increase in weekly offerings. We are $4,000 short from mee ng our archdiocese appeal goal; however, we are s ll missing $50,000 pledged that has not been paid. We have $569,000 between the building fund and capital campaign fund. R R : Maria shared that she a ended a few of the mee ngs the Stewardship Team hosted this summer, under the leadership of Fr. Jude Michael and Frank Moran. The Stewardship Commi ee has iden fied a need at SJV to reach out to the younger genera on (various age categories), people from all cultures and walks of life, as well as new parishioners. As a parish, we need to find a way to effec vely get the word out about the various ministries, get people excited and involved. Frank Moran, leader of the Stewardship Commi ee, was invited to seek assistance from the PC or other ministries to follow up on ac on items, issues or concerns his team has iden fied. Anyone interested in joining the Stewardship Commi ee should contact Frank at [email protected]. Sue Baird expressed a concern about many parishioners not finding out on the passing of a fellow church member in a mely manner. It was stated that now that Chris Butler is keeping the SJV website updated, this informa on can easily be disseminated. It will require that as soon as the office staff is no fied, or the friars, they advise Chris and provide the necessary details. Fr. George stated that he has been in other parishes where there is a Bereavement Commi ee. Upon the death of a parishioner, members of the commi ee immediately reach out to the family to find out their needs so that the parish can step in and assist not only for the funeral, but a erwards. They help the families select the readings and hymns for the mass as well. Fr. George encouraged all leaders in a endance to give this idea some thought, to talk about it with their respec ve ministries, and to let the PC know who from their ministries are interested in forming such a commi ee. Contact Maria Laboy at [email protected] if you have ideas or name of volunteers, so that we can coordinate this effort in the near future. Parish members at large are invited to get involved. Our next SJV Pastor’s Council mee ng is to be announced soon, once our new Pastor gets se led. October 12, 2014 28th Sunday in Ordinary Time Isaiah 25:6-10a Psalm 23 Philippians 4:12-14, 19-20 Matthew 22:1-14 or 22:1-10 In these last weeks of the liturgical year, our readings focus on things associated with the end of the world. Isaiah anticipates a day when God will defeat the enemy and host a great feast. He envisions this feast to be held on Mount Zion, the mountain of Jerusalem, when the Day of the Lord comes. “Rich food and choice wines” will be provided “for all peoples” (v 6). A note of hope is sounded when the prophets tell us that God “will destroy death forever,” wiping away “the tears from every face” (v 8). For God’s people, it will be a time of great joy. In a personal note Paul speaks of his experience of living both “in humble circumstances” and “with abundance” (v 12). Because of “him who strengthens me” (vg 13), Paul can face any trial that comes his way. He goes on to thank the Philippians for their support while he is in prison: “it was kind of you to share in my distress” (v 14). Their generosity reflects a close relationship, witnessed in his opening words, “ I hold you in my heart, ...partners with me in grace” (see 1:7). The imagery of a wedding feast in today’s Gospel anticipates the Day of the Lord. For the church this banquet represents the messianic banquet at the end of time. The parable teaches us that it is not enough to accept the invitation; we must act on it as well. Those who were originally invited to the feast “refused to come” (v 3) when the time of the feast was announced to them. As a result the invitation is extended to others, reminiscent or the church’s outreach to those outside Israel. For reflection: What is my image of the Day of the Lord? Why is caring for each other such an important part of our vocation? TOOTSIE ROLL DRIVE Our Knights of Columbus Council will be sponsoring their annual Tootsie Roll Drive here at the church to benefit intellectually and physically challenged of the area. The Drive will take place on the weekend of October 25-26. In today’s Gospel we hear Jesus say: “Many are invited, but few are chosen.” To give thanks for all that God has given to you, have you considered answering the call to help serve the poor by joining the Society of St. Vincent de Paul.

To The Parents: We have over 130 Middle School and 140 High school students coming to the EDGE and Lifeteen programs, which is a wonderful gift. This week at Edge w will discuss the story of Joseph and how God called him to trust even in the midst of miserable circumstances. We also talked about how God’s gifts in our lives leave us with a responsibility to give as well. Here are some questions to ask your youth about the Edge Night: That is great News but now we need more Core people to help! Adult Volunteers Are Needed Those who minister to our youth are in the seed planting business. These core members can profoundly impact a middle school and High School youth’s spiritual and emotional development. This can have a lasting and positive impression on the youth into adulthood. If you are interested in volunteering for either of these programs, please contact: Sharon Loiselle Religious Education Director at [email protected] Or Karl Kuhlken [email protected] We are now accepting registrations from students currently in 8th grade through 12th grade to attend our Catholic Heart WorkCamp mission. The mission trip will take place June 21st—June 27th. The mission trip will be to Hardeeville, SC. You can obtain the registration form from our website (www.sjvpar.net/faith_formation/lifeteen.php) . A deposit of $85.00 is required to hold your student’s place. We are limited to the first 21 students. To learn more about this camp: www.heartworkcamp.com In what ways in our own family could we celebrate or highlight the beautiful gifts and blessings of each member better? How are family members able to trust in God through hardship or difficulty? What are some ways we as a family can give from the bounty that God has given to us? Para Los Padres: Esta semana hablaremos de la historia de José y de cómo Dios lo llamó a confiar aún en medio de circunstancias miserables. También hablamos sobre cómo los dones de Dios en nuestras vidas nos dejan con la responsabilidad de dar también. Aquí están algunas preguntas para sus hijos sobre la lección de esta noche: * ¿De qué maneras en nuestra propia familia podríamos celebrar o resaltar los regalos hermosos y las bendiciones de cada miembro mejor? * ¿Cómo son capaces de confiar en Dios los miembros de la familia durante sufrimiento o dificultad? * ¿Cuáles son algunas maneras en que nosotros como familia podemos dar gracias a Dios por las abundancias que nos ha dado? The Archbishops Appeal pledges for this year are less than 50% paid off, we certainly appreciate your pledges and just want you to keep this expense in mind when you are doing your budgets. Also, to those good folks who pledged to our new windows, as you can see, little by little they are coming into view and we have about $40,000 pledged that needs to be paid. As always, your attention to these matters is a blessing! BACKPACK WEEKEND FOOD PROGRAM Did you know that some children in our community go home from school on weekends with very little food at home? A Gift of Love Services , through the BACKPACK FOOD PROGRAM, furnishes approximately 100 needy children two meals a day, plus snacks for the weekend (or for the holidays when they are out of school). Through your donations, 3 children will be sponsored.

PRAYING PACEM IN TERRIS: There is every indication at the present time that these aims and ideals are giving rise to various demands concerning the juridical organization of States. The first is this: that a clear and precisely worded charter of fundamental human rights be formulated and incorporated into the State's general constitutions. Secondly, each State must have a public constitution, couched in juridical terms, laying down clear rules relating to the designation of public officials, their reciprocal relations, spheres of competence and prescribed methods of operation. The final demand is that relations between citizens and public authorities be described in terms of rights and duties. It must be clearly laid down that the principal function of public authorities is to recognize, respect, coordinate, safeguard and promote citizens' rights and duties. (75-77) Excerpt of Saint John XXIII’s Pacem in Terris Provided by Justice & Peace Ministries, Archdiocese It is that time of the year! Time to clean out all the items you have acquired throughout the year. CHWC teens will be hos ng a yard sale to benefit their 2015 Mission Trip.
