Dear Parishioners, A NOTE FROM FATHER This weekend we celebrate the birth of John the Baptist (one of three that we celebrate in the Church - Jesus s on December 25th, of course, and Mary s on September 8). We have a vigil Mass in which we hear of the announcement of John s conception, while his father Zachariah, of the priestly division of Abijah, was serving in the temple. The time frame of his service is mid-to late-september. This puts John s birth in late June. In the Annunciation (which we celebrate March 25th), the Blessed Mother is told by the angel Gabriel that Elizabeth is pregnant 6 months (September to March is 6 months) and Mary goes to be with her the last 3 months before John s birth in June! But at the Annunciation, Mary conceived and gave birth to the Lord 9 months later - December! Interesting, right? Sometimes we forget that Tradition of the Church is trustworthy because it wasn t recorded in a way easy to understand. After all, the Evangelists simply could have written that John was born around the Summer Solstice, a day that is fairly immovable and understood across cultures and calendar systems. In the end, it does not matter when these events occurred, but that they did occur. John s birth is the beginning of the announcement of Christ s incarnation! Because of this, this feast is always celebrated, even when it falls on a Sunday as it does this year. Like John, too, we are called to be heralds of Christ, though we are heralds of Christ s return. We tell others that He is going to return, and that we are called to continuing repentance and preparation. Let s ask John the Baptist s intercession this weekend to be bold heralds of Christ. ~ In Christ, Fr. Todd JOHN IRELAND NEWS www.churchofstpeter.org/ji We are a Catholic community welcoming students of all faiths, devoted to Gospel Values, Academic Excellence, and Christian Service.
