Jesus said to his disciples:
“Be watchful! Be alert!
You do not know when the time will come.
It is like a man traveling abroad.
He leaves home and places his servants in
charge,
each with his own work,
and orders the gatekeeper to be on the watch.
Watch, therefore;
you do not know when the Lord of the house is
coming,
whether in the evening, or at midnight,
or at cockcrow, or in the morning.
May he not come suddenly and find you sleeping.
What I say to you, I say to all: ‘Watch!’”
-- MK 13:33-37

STEWARDSHIP REPORT
Stewardship
July 1, 2014—June 30, 2015
“Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know
when the time will come.” - Mark 13:33
We all take things for granted. In particular, we take
time for granted. Our lives are so busy, many of us are
planning our time - our days, weeks, months, even
years in advance. Remember, our time on earth is a
gift. None of us knows how long we will be here. Start
today and begin thanking God for each and every day.
Take time in silence, everyday, and listen to what God
is saying to you.

St. Jude Catholic Church, Council #12733
Michael Madix, Grand Knight
During Advent this year the Knights will be holding a
Membership Drive. We are looking for Catholic Gentlemen
who would like to become "A Knight before Christmas".
To those Catholic gentlemen who want to do more for our Parish,
but don't quite know where to begin, I recommend becoming a
Knight of our Order. We support the Parish, and there are
Knights in just about every Ministry here at St. Jude.
The minimum requirement to become a Knight is to be a
practicing Catholic at least 18 years of age.
Join the St. Jude Knights of Columbus! Registration
forms are available in the back of the parish.
The Holy Father's universal prayer
intention for this month is:
“That all who suffer loneliness
may experience the closeness of
God and the support of others.”
His intention for evangelization is:
“That young seminarians and religious may have wise and wellformed mentors”.
Liturgy
Presider’s Chair
A chair is more than a piece of furniture. It can also symbolize the person who sits there. In many homes a family member has a preferred chair, and others won’t sit there out of respect. In offices, in boardrooms and even at the dining room table, some seats are just sacred.
At church the presider’s chair is more than a chair. It symbolizes the priest. He doesn’t just sit there. He stands there to lead the assembly in prayer. The priest who presides at Mass stands at the chair for the opening rites, sits in the chair for the Scripture readings and may
stand at the chair again for the communion prayer and concluding rites. He may also preach from the chair if he wishes.
A typical sanctuary contains three distinct areas designated by furniture: the altar, the ambo, and the chair. The altar gathers us together for the eucharistic prayer, the heart of the Mass. The ambo holds the Scriptures for the Liturgy of the Word. The presider’s chair focuses
our attention at the beginning and at the end of the service because it establishes the role of one who leads us in prayer.
In the early church, the chair was positioned in the apse behind the altar. When the altar was moved to the back wall, the chair was
relocated to one side of the sanctuary, facing the opposite side.
Today the presider faces the assembly from the chair. It may be placed against the back wall. In churches where the tabernacle occupies that space the chair should stand to the side. The presider’s chair should not seem too remote from the assembly because the priest is not a
performer to be watched but a leader engaged with all those gathered together. Ideally the position and structure of his chair identifies the
priest as one with the people, yet also as their leader.

Catholic Social Teaching
As society develops ever more complex structures, personal and social responsibilities to
protect the common good increase. Individuals, families, various organizations, and
governments are all required to seek the common good, which is attained when the basic
needs of every individual are met.
