Hospice of Orange and Sullivan Counties Fall Volunteer Training The primary role of our volunteers is to provide companionship and or caregiver relief to persons on Hospice and their families.

DATE: _________________ __________________________________________ Page 4 - 446 St. John SIGNATURE & RELATIONSHIP (MUST BE A FAMILY MEMBER) • Thursday, September 15 at 9:00am in the church. There’s no better way to begin the new school year than by gathering before the altar and asking God’s blessing on our school and community. On Sunday, September 18, our catechists will gather at the 10:00am Mass for the traditional “Catechetical Sunday” blessing. +++ Some 120 of our children enjoyed a week of faith, fun and friends at last month’s Vacation Bible Camp. There are many, many people who devoted countless hours to preparing for and working during VBC. Thanks to the adults who assisted: Debbie DeRosa, Lynn Hunter, Mrs. Larocco, Alice Scanlon, Rick and Ann Sloat, Betty Smith, Kathy Valerio, Sharon and Rich Van Sickle, and Debbie Wellington. Our teens and young volunteers were equally indispensable: Katie Biagi, Kevin Bowen, Megan Bowen, Tiffany Calpo, Sean Curtin, Mary Dawson, Daniel DeRosa, Eve Doyle, Spencer Doyle, Chloe Fein, Trish Ferguson, Ethan Garcia, Nicole Garcia, Meghan Geissler, Alexis Gray, Ariana Gray, Sierra Green, Maria Grzelak, Clare Heppes, Madeline Kelly, Maggie Larsen, Elena Malinchak, Julia Malinchak, Victoria Martinez, Gabriella Narcise, Gino Narcise, Elijah Paneto, Joshua Paneto, Nicholas Paneto, Ysa Paneto, Andrea Pepe, Veronica Schmidt, Ashlyn Smith, McKenna Smith, Rosemary Smith, Sharon Spindler, Jayne Sullivan, Julia Sullivan, Shannon Toohey, Samantha Torres, David Valentin, Isabella Van Cott, Emily Whitby, Jenna Whitby, and Christina Zick. I should note, too, that two of our graduating seniors, Katie Biagi and Julia Sullivan, were honored for their many years of faithful service to VBC. (If I’ve inadvertently left anyone’s name out, please let me know.) None of this would come to fruition without the drive and seemingly inexhaustible energy of Debby Sheehan. She would be the first to say that this is all the Holy Spirit’s work – which is most certainly true – but so much more good can come when we put ourselves completely at the Spirit’s disposal. I am personally grateful to her and to all of our volunteers for a week filled with joy, laughter, and many graces! +++ The work on the front of the church is nearing completion. We are awaiting the finishing of some stonework, the wiring of the lights, and the installation of permanent handrails. There are also some stones that need to be reset. I greatly appreciate everyone’s patience, and hope that this is a fitting complement to our church. You’ve no doubt noticed that the large tree in front of the church had to be taken down. Its root system had already started to buckle the old sidewalk, as well as strangle the Japanese maple that was near the Garr Institute cross. Our plan is to have the stump ground down (as well as the stumps still left from past trees), and then plant new trees, hopefully in the fall. There was also a tree, recently deceased, which was removed from behind the carport. Faithfully your priest, Fr. George Hafemann Page 5 - 446 St. John BIBLE BASICS 28: THE LETTERS OF SAINT PAUL, PART I Fr. Peter Heasley The theology of Saint Paul has deeply shaped Christianity from the very beginning. He writes no gospel, but he has “his gospel”; he writes no systematic treatise on theology, but we continue to read his letters nearly every Sunday. Over the course of three missionary journeys, Paul writes thirteen letters addressed to those whom he has already visited, as well as to those whom he knows only by reputation (e.g., Romans). These letters have an “ad hoc” feeling to them – that is, Paul does address specific situations in the local churches. However, Paul uses each of these situations to expound on larger issues of Christian theology, such as Christology (the study of Jesus Christ), pneumatology (the study of the Holy Spirit) ecclesiology (the study THE NEW TESTAMENT of the Church), moral theology, and perhaps most uniquely for Paul, our Synoptic Gospels relationship to the Trinity in grace. They are “personal” letters that address Johannine Corpus larger issues, for which the Greek and Roman world provides a ready Pauline Epistles template. PAULINE EPISTLES I—II Thessalonians I—II Timothy Romans Titus I—II Corinthians Philemon Galatians Hebrews Ephesians Philippians Colossians Speaking and letter writing in classical antiquity conforms to the rules of rhetoric, and Paul adheres to these forms. A public address or a letter has a specific form, with constituent parts, not all of which need be present. Indeed, expanding one of these parts or leaving one out gives emphasis to a particular aspect of the message. For instance, Paul leaves out of Galatians a Thanksgiving, in order precisely to express his anger at those who have reverted to the old Judaic customs. Following are the parts of a classical letter, with a brief explanation: Address: indicates the Sender, Recipients, and a formal greeting. Often Paul includes his associates as co-senders (like Silvanus, Sosthenes, and Timothy). Body, composed of: Exordium: an introduction, with a Thanksgiving/Captatio Benevolentiae, in which the author seeks the good favor of the recipients. Narratio: in which the author traces his shared history with the recipient and the particular situation in which they find themselves. Digressio: a break in attention, especially if it is a long letter. Propositio: the thesis statement of the letter. There may be several such thesis statements in support of a larger thesis, and several corresponding Confirmatio. Confirmatio: also known as probatio/argumentatio, it is the main body of argument Peroratio: a recapitulation of what has been said, often with implications for moral behavior. Conclusion: a Final Blessing, Greetings, a Peace Wish, and Postscript. One great difficulty in outlining the letters is that Paul, however well trained in Greek rhetoric, is also a well-trained Jewish Pharisee. Paul weaves into these Greek-language letters the specific forms of Semitic rhetoric, which sometimes directly contradict the Greek form. This is especially so with the concentric pattern, in which a trained reader of the Hebrew bible will put the most important point he is trying to make right in the center of a body of text. The Greek form, instead, sees the center as least important, putting thesis and conclusion at beginning and end. Next week, we will see how Paul puts this together in one of his shorter letters.
