It is hard to believe it has been five months since I pulled up to Saint Peter s in my moving truck on that snowy day in January. Over the course of my three day journey from Phoenix to Mansfield, I had plenty of time to think about what my new job and faith community might be like. I am happy to say, they have both exceeded my expectations. I am continually amazed at the depth and breadth of our parish operations and our impact on the greater Mansfield community. I am also impressed by the deep commitment our parishioners continue to show to our parish and school. In my first bulletin article to you all, I wanted to provide an update on some of the items we are working on at the parish center. Summer Projects: In addition to the normal summer maintenance items, the elementary school lobby is getting a major renovation to enhance the functionality and safety of this space. We will also be replacing more windows at the rectory in a continuation of a project that began last fall. Finally, some of the other gathering and entry areas around campus will receive a light refresh. All of this will be funded through current year operating funds and not the Capital Campaign. Capital Campaign: Speaking of the Capital Campaign, we are in the process of organizing an implementation team that will assist in the next phase of our campaign. Three projects have been identified as priorities over the next six months. These include the church boiler, the church sound system and the safety and security enhancements to the campus. The safety and security enhancements will include additional security cameras and controlled access enhancements. We applied for and received a $60,000 grant from Columbia Gas to offset the cost of the new boiler installation. Bids for this project have been received and will be presented to the Diocese of Toledo for approval in the coming weeks. We are currently soliciting bids for the church sound system as well. All funds previously raised for the sound system through the Building Fund will be applied towards the cost of the sound system selected. The goal is to have these three projects completed by the end of this fall. More information about each of these projects will be available soon. Parish Financials: Our fiscal year ends on June 30, 2016 and final financial figures will be presented to the parish in early fall. I am optimistic about our financial performance during the current fiscal year and thank you all for your continued support. It has certainly been a very busy five months and promises to be a productive summer as well. As many of you know, my family has yet to join me here in Mansfield. I am happy to report our house in Phoenix has sold and we have purchased a home in Mansfield. My wife Kalyn, daughter Tessa and son Theodore, will be moving here in early July and I look forward to introducing them to you all. I want to thank you for your prayers and support during this time of transition for my family and I. While it has been challenging for me to be away from my family, the way in which I have been welcomed into this community has meant a great deal to me. Sincerely, Jon Blazak, Parish Business Manager

Jubilee Year of Mercy Eleventh Sunday in Ordinary Time On today s Julibee for Those Sick and Suffering Disabilities, Jesus encounters a woman who is spiritually ill. She is thus disabled from participating in Israel s worshiping community or polite society. Bathing Jesus feet with tears, drying them with unveiled hair, anounting them (Luke 7:38) risk Jesus becoming unclean. Yet his mercy welcomes even such inappropriate behavior as her sincere manifestation of love: Your sins are forgiven. Go in peace (7:48, 50). Go not just in peace, but in shalom, the all-enveloping, life-changing assurance of God s mercy. She is anonymous, known in the city only as a sinful woman (7:37). The character with name and religious title, Simon the Pharisee (7:36, 40), judges her harshly, but himself not at all, and thus forfeits God s mercy. This Jubilee Y ear of Mercy challenges us to self-examination. In which role do we most ofter cast ourselves, humble sinner or judgmental Pharisee? Jesus declares that only by an unfailing willingness to show mercy to fellow sinners can we hope to obtain mercy ourselves (see Misericordiae Vultus, 9). Peter Scagnelli, Copyright J. S.

8 Page 8 St. Peter s Catholic Church, Mansfield, Ohio June 12, 2016 TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Last week s Treasure no doubt raised an eyebrow or two with the image of the deacons scurrying through the streets of Rome, or perhaps galloping on horseback, with fragments of eucharistic bread from the bishop s liturgy. These would be dropped into the chalice at outlying celebrations, presided over by presbyters, to express unity with the bishop, and perhaps also to remind the presbyters that they were not free agents. The Council of Laodicea forbade the custom of the fermentum in the year 348. Generally, one of the rules of interpreting law is that people don t make laws about things that aren t happening. So, by mid-fourth century, we have an important clue that what had once been a Roman custom had become widespread. Interestingly, when the Church of England (and its related bodies) went through a liturgical renewal in the mid-nineteenth century, they reclaimed this custom from the mists of history. Today, it is the custom in some Anglican dioceses for a fragment of the host from the bishop s Holy Week liturgy (what we call the Chrism Mass) to be carried to every parish. On Maundy Thursday (our Holy Thursday), the fragment is dropped into the chalice to signify the parish s communion with the bishop. This modern revival of the fermentum is different from the co-mingling action we are used to, in which a fragment of the consecrated bread is dropped into the chalice just before Communion. Rev. James Field, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. HOPE AND FORGIVENESS There were some interesting conceptions of sin prevalent in the time of the Hebrew scriptures. There was the belief that God punished sin immediately. Those who suffered disease or misfortune were, therefore, sinners getting their due from the Almighty. Today s first reading hints at another kind of God. When David admits his sin, Nathan declares, The LORD on his part has forgiven your sin (2 Samuel 12:13b). Here was not a vengeful God but a merciful God. What good news that must have been to David and those who, like him, could be honest enough to admit their sinfulness! Jesus is the good news of God s mercy and forgiveness incarnate. Without Jesus, perhaps the good news would have been too good to believe, too difficult to imagine. But there he is in today s Gospel, the God-man, forgiving a sinner and declaring that she is forgiven because of her great love. There is hope, then, for the rest of us sinners, if only we love enough! TODAY S READINGS First Reading The LORD forgives David for taking the wife of Uriah, and for having Uriah killed (2 Samuel 12:7-10, 13). Psalm Lord, forgive the wrong I have done (Psalm 32). Second Reading If justification comes through the law, then Christ died for nothing (Galatians 2:16, 19-21). Gospel Jesus forgives the woman because of her great love (Luke 7:36 8:3 [7:36-50]).

Zack A Family Perspective: Jesus sat down for a meal and was caught between the weeping woman and the indignant Pharisee. Why is it tough issues always pop up at meals? No wonder we need antacids. Jesus focused on the positives, offering forgiveness to the woman and understanding to the Pharisee. ~ by Bud Ozar DATE CHANGED Ephphatha Day at the Sorrowful Mother Shrine 4106 St. Rt. 269, Bellevue, Ohio will be held on Saturday evening, June 25, 2016 at 4:00 p.m. Fr.
