4 St. John the Evangelist Weekly Bulletin Dear Folks, Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Though we find ourselves in Mid-Summer the Confirmation Class is in the midst of their Confirmation Interviews. God bless them all and their good parents. You see, we also ask questions to the parents. The common request to both student and parent is to tell the Act of Contrition. It is the one feature of the interview that is formational while all the other questions are informational. Now is the time as they are developing the skill to judge others the student and parent are reminded that the Act of Contrition helps to judge themselves. A good and humble start. Catholic education is promoted in three levels. The first four years focus on the biblical stories and lives of the Saints. The second four years are all about numbers, as will be demonstrated in the Religion Clock below. And the third set of four years, high school, involve the principles of the Faith applied in the areas of evangelization, apologetics and bioethics the fast lane. Religion Clock. Good hunting. (1.) One God. Jesus had one mother, who was his earthly father. (2.) Two testaments of the Bible. Jesus Christ is true...god and Man. Two parts of a human being...body and soul.

Three archangels... Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael. Three kinds of grace...sanctifying, actual, and sacramental. (4.) Four Gospel writers... Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Four Cardinal virtues...prudence, Justice, Temperance, and Fortitude. Four Mysteries of the Rosary... Joyful, Sorrowful, Luminous, Glorious. Four marks of the Catholic Church...One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic. (5.) Five Wounds of Christ. Five colors at Mass...White-Gold, Red, Green, Purple-Black. Five decades of any one mystery of the rosary. Five Steps to a Good Confession...examine your conscience, be truly sorry, have purpose of amendment, confess your sins, and accept your penance. (6.)

We must never lose the enthusiasm, in our prayers and generosity, for the foreign missions where our brothers and sisters live among earthquakes for adverse weather. Fr. Waisi exemplifies the zeal for the Faith by their continued spiritual and sacramental devotions. Also many thanks to you for your kindness to Jordan Evans who addressed each of the Masses last week about his apostolic ventures in the FOCUS (Fellowship of Catholic University Students) program ( Jordan leaves us with a note of Thanksgiving. Let us pray for one another. Father Gould Parish Thank You from Jordan Evans I cannot express how thankful I am to all of you parishioners for taking the time to listen to me this weekend and for all of your support. I was overwhelmed by the generosity that I received not only in terms of a willingness to support me in my mission, but in the charitable words that so many shared with me. I will treasure this experience forever and will take you all with me in my prayers as I journey northward to the University of Massachusetts Amherst. It is a true blessing to be a part of the community here at St. John s and an even greater blessing to have a home in the Catholic Church as brothers and sisters in Christ. Thank you for being a testament to the love of our greater Family, I cannot wait to share in this mission with everyone. St. Francis Xavier and St. Thérèse of Lisieux, pray for us!
