We welcome all who seek communion with the Lord
July 13 & 14, 2019
The Church and Parish Center are
wheelchair accessible.
Saint John Chrysostom Parish is a welcoming, inclusive community of believers in Jesus Christ. We invite all to pray with us. The gifts we bring and the joys we share are influenced by our own history, religious experiences and orientation, all of which makes us who we are. We follow the Gospel message of love through vibrant liturgies which inspire us to act as we come with open hearts serving the needs of all peoples.
Masses
Weekend Saturday 4:00pm, Sunday 7:30, 9:30 (Family Mass), 11:30am Weekday Monday - Saturday 9:00 am Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament Friday 9:30 - 10:30 Holy Day Mass Times are 9:00am and 7:00pm on Holy Days of obligation unless otherwise posted.
Sacraments Reconciliation: Saturday 3:00 - 3:45 or call the Parish Office to make an appointment with a priest.
Baptism: Arrange for a baptism date by calling the Parish Office. If this is your first child a baptism preparation program will be helpful and is required.
Marriage: Couples are asked to consult with a priest at least twelve months prior to the intended date to allow sufficient time for marriage preparation, including participation in the Archdiocese Marriage Preparation Program.
Ministry to the Sick: Please contact the Parish Office and inform us of anyone who is unable to attend Mass and would like to receive Holy Communion. Never think that the priest is too busy to be present for your loved one for a visit.
Anointing of the Sick is a sacrament of healing. Inform the Parish Office if you or someone you know is in need of this Sacrament.
Registration Welcome to new parishioners! Be sure to introduce yourself to the priest following Mass. Also, so that you may participate fully in parish life please register with the Parish Office and we will include you and your family in our records to be able to communicate with you. If you move please inform us so that we may update our records.
"You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your being,
with all your strength, and with all your mind,
and your neighbor as yourself." -Luke 10:27
When you reach out to a brother or sister in need, you touch the face of God.

I n today’s Gospel, when Jesus asks “which of these three, in your opinion, was neighbor to the robbers’ victim?” the scholar of the law answered, “the one who treated him with mercy.” Jesus then said, “Go and do likewise.”
This week you can also “treat the poor with mercy” by putting a gift in the St. Vincent de Paul Poor Box.

Rest In Peace
We ask that you remember in prayers this week
John McSweeney & Diane Smith
who have recently been called home to God.
We do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, about those who have fallen asleep, so that you may not grieve like the rest, who
have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose, so too will God, through Jesus, bring
with him those who have fallen asleep. - 1 Thes 4:13-14

Reflection The Gospel today includes one of my favorite passages. Jesus tells us “You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your being, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself”. Above all we are created to love God with everything we’ve got: heart, being, strength, and mind. What does that look like for you? What shape does this take in your life and in the lives of people you know? Love of God and neighbor is made manifest in so many ways. Loving God with all our hearts naturally results in loving neighbor. You cannot have the strength to love neighbor unless your heart is focused on God. One of the most significant ways we love neighbor as a parish is through the St. Vincent de Paul group. Their work is centered on spirituality and their meetings are devoted to prayer before discussing the outreach they do. You show your loving care for the poor “left by the side of the road” with your donations to the St. Vincent de Paul box, your support of the food collection for the pantries, the gifts you buy from the Giving tree at Christmas, your donations to the Rice Bowl in Lent, the hats, socks etc. You donate for the homeless and your participation in other collections we sponsor. Be sure to point out to your children and grandchildren that this is what we do because we love God and we consider neighbor to be any human worldwide. We are inspired to make St. John’s a place where love abounds in many ways. If you have an idea for a new way for us to show love of God or love of neighbor, please find time to speak to me. Have a blessed week!
