J une 8, 2014 ~ P entecost S unday 5 #ToKnow #ToLove #ToServe #ToKnow – Summer of Service Action Did you get a chance to hear one of Fr. John’s homilies last weekend? He described our trip to Immokalee in detail, including the horrific living conditions that the men, women, and children undergo every single day. You can find the pictures from this trip at: http:// saintjohntheevangelist.com/featured/immokalee-needs-our-supportand-our-action Pope Francis has asked us all to shed the light of our love and joy on these situations, and focus our church and our actions on them in his “Mission Statement” for the church, the EVANGELII GAUDIUM, Chapter 1, Section 48: Let us go forth, then, let us go forth to offer everyone the life of Jesus Christ. Here I repeat for the entire Church what I have often said to the priests and laity of Buenos Aires: I prefer a Church which is bruised, hurting and dirty because it has been out on the streets, rather than a Church which is unhealthy from being confined and from clinging to its own security. I do not want a Church concerned with being at the centre and which then ends by being caught up in a web of obsessions and procedures. If something should rightly disturb us and trouble our consciences, it is the fact that so many of our brothers and sisters are living without the strength, light and consolation born of friendship with Jesus Christ, without a community of faith to support them, without meaning and a goal in life. More than by fear of going astray, my hope is that we will be moved by the fear of remaining shut up within structures which give us a false sense of security, within rules which make us harsh judges, within habits which make us feel safe, while at our door people are starving and Jesus does not tire of saying to us: “Give them something to eat” (Mk 6:37). – Pope Francis (http://w2.vatican. va/content/francesco/en/apost_exhortations/documents/papafrancesco_esortazione-ap_20131124_evangelii-gaudium.html) St. John is blessed to have over 60 different Ministries, all focused on the Mission, To Know, To Love, and To Serve God in His Church and Our Community. This summer, we want to invigorate our service commitment on several priorities: Immokalee and the Homeless in Collier County and Lee County. These close-to-home issues require immediate action, and Fr. John has authorized two “Tiger Teams”, experts and dedicated individuals tasked to assess the situations and begin programs to support the dignity and humanity of all those in need. Together, in collaboration, we can make a significant impact. #ToServe – Immokalee Mission Team Fr. John’s homily focused on a specific issue of housing and living conditions in Immokalee. There are many Ministries, like the 6 S aint J ohn the E vangelist C atholic C hurch • #FamilyMission by Jean-Paul Boucher Director, Family Mission & Communications jp@saintjohntheevangelist.com Ladies of Charity, and individual parishioners that already focus their efforts on Immokalee, through Habitat for Humanity and the Catholic Charities, especially from Our Lady of Guadalupe. We are developing the St. John Immokalee Mission Team in order to provide additional and complementary support to this area, in particular with urgent needs like food and housing services. We will also collaborate with these other Ministries to lend support to their current programs. If you would like to join in our Immokalee Mission Team, please contact me #ToServe – Serving the Homeless There are also several organizations in the area that assist homeless individuals and families, including St. Vincent DePaul and St. Matthews House. Unfortunately, there are hundreds of people living homeless who are not able to use these programs, due to substance abuse or other factors. “Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.” (Matthew 25:40). What can we do? We can feed them. We can show them humanity and respect. We can love them. If you are interested in joining our Homeless Services Team, where we will be reaching out to these individuals and providing them direct support, please contact me. #ToServe – Thanks to All VBS Volunteers! I cannot thank enough all the volunteers who have worked tirelessly for weeks and months now on the 2014 Vacation Bible School for St. John. We have over 200 pre-school and elementary school children who will get to journey with Moses through our Wilderness Escape. We have five jam-packed days of fun, games, prayer, and engagement planned in a beautiful, desert-themed environment. There are over 100 volunteers (including our middle and high school students) who will ensure these “Tribes” have a wonderful time, from parting the Red Sea to building their own Ten Commandments. From the décor to registration, from the crafts to the games, none of this week would be possible without the time and talent of volunteers. A special thanks to all of you who provided sheets, carpets, baskets and all the items that will make this theme come alive. It is heartening to see so many people dedicate themselves to our parish and our children. We are looking forward to an amazing week! www .S aint J ohn T he E vangelist . com VBS Participants Will Escape into the Wilderness Volunteers and helpers, both adults and youth, are in the final stages of preparation for Vacation Bible School. These past couple weekends were filled with staging, preparing and costuming the St. John buildings to represent the Hebrew camps as they leave Egypt on the way to the Promised Land. With the theme, Wilderness Escape, participants will take a fun trek through the desert with Moses and his friends. Vacation Bible School starts Monday and runs all through next week. photos by Brian Youngs and JP Boucher J une 8, 2014 ~ P entecost S unday Upon completion, the sets will look similar to the two above. 7 Altar Servers: Jean-Paul Boucher jp@saintjohntheevangelist.com Arts & Liturgical Environment: Kay Sanfelippo 949.7122 Calling & Caring: Deacon Al Groh 566.8740 Eucharistic Ministry Nace Baier and Mary Ellen Metro EMMinistry@sjecc.com Homebound Call the Office 566.8740 Hospital Mary Ellen Metro maryellen@ saintjohntheevangelist.com Greeters & Ushers: John Smith 598.2306 Jamaica Mission: Jeanne Stamant 514.0290 (summer) 413.739.7609 Lectors: Victor Yepez 290.9090 Youth Lectors Bill Janes bacjanes@comcast.net Family Mass LectorsTricia and Scott Schwarz 566- 8740, ext. 3902; email: tricia@saintjohntheevangelist.com Prayer Group: Linda Reilly Respect Life: Rosemary Erickson 821.8982 597.3941 Parish Stewardship Council: Bob Claussen naplesrgc@gmail.com Adult Faith Enrichment Ministry.

The note was from a parishioner who had recently returned to her Northern residence in New York. “Thank you for sharing the love of Jesus in such a beautiful way. The liturgy and messages are gifts to a faith filled community. It is my blessing to be with you.” It is notes such as this which make all we do for Saint John the Evangelist very worthwhile. I would like to personally apologize to our parish congregation for all of the issues we have had recently with regards to the sound system, lighting system and air conditioning in the church. As you know, we have installed new lighting controls, sound controls and AC controls and it seems that the learning curve was much greater than anticipated. Ultimately, all of these systems will be controlled by one operating system, however, currently they are all being operated independently which has been problematic at best. Once we are able to tie all of the systems together, we will recognize a great cost savings and have a very efficient operating system. Please understand that we are working diligently to resolve these issues. Vacation Bible School is now filled to capacity. If your child is enrolled to participate, I ensure you that this year’s VBS will be the best ever. If your child was unable to attend, I urge you to register early next year as our program is arguably the best locally. We have broken the $300,000.00 threshold with regards to the 2014 Catholic Faith Appeal. We still have a lot of work to do but with nearly seven full months remaining in the appeal, I am confident that our parishioners will come through strong. Remember that a great way to help us and help yourselves is by donating appreciated stock to the CFA. Considering that the stock market (DJIA) has been hovering near record highs for the past several weeks, many of you are in receipt of appreciated stock. Remember that by donating “appreciated stock,” you will be able to avoid the capital gains tax and recognize the gift as a charitable donation at fair market value. This is what I would call a true win-win situation. You get to avoid a big tax hit, “write off” the gift and help us reach our CFA goal. You may call the Development Office at the Diocese of Venice at 941.484.9543 Scott’s Corner… 10 S aint J ohn the E vangelist C atholic C hurch • and request the transfer. Thank you in advance for your consideration. After my recent comments regarding the Memorial Garden at Saint John the Evangelist, I have had several questions arise that I will do my best to address. First and foremost, The Catholic Church states that cremation is perfectly appropriate with the stipulation that the ashes or cremains are placed in an urn and buried in consecrated ground, which is the case in our Memorial Garden. The Catholic Church does not allow ashes to be stored on a shelf or scattered in the ocean, etc. You must be a parishioner of Saint John the Evangelist or a family member of a parishioner in order to purchase space in our garden. If you are Catholic and your spouse is not, you may both be interred in our memorial garden. Finally, you must be willing to be cremated as we may only bury cremated remains in our Memorial Garden. Hopefully, this clears up some of the questions those of you on the fence have been contemplating. If you would like to purchase space in our Memorial Garden, please contact me at 566.1678. We will begin installation of six new air conditioning units in the PLC the week of June 16. Believe it or not, the rooftop units being replaced are the original units and have given us 17 solid years of service. Considering our proximity to the Gulf of Mexico, that is a great life span. The new units will come complete with “controls” so that they may be operated via our Metasys system. There will be a crane onsite and most likely a bit of mess while the installation takes place. We apologize for any inconvenience you may experience as a result. Believe it or not, our triplets celebrated their 3rd birthday this past week. To the left is a picture of Mia, Nate and Ella preparing to devour their cake. Nate is a big fan of Monster trucks and garbage trucks, while Ella and Mia love to wear dresses, dance and sing, especially to the soundtrack from the movie “Frozen.” Thank you again to everyone for your thoughts and prayers over the past four years.

In the Book of Genesis, we hear that the Spirit hovered over the waters of the deep at the beginning of creation, ushering in order and displacing chaos. This same Spirit descended upon the disciples bringing courage in the midst of fear. The chaos that surrounded the arrest and crucifixion of Jesus was pushed into the recesses of the Apostles’ memory as they received new confidence and strength from the Advocate. The Holy Spirit gives birth to the Church and ignites the early Christians with an energy that becomes explosive in giving witness to Jesus’ message. The Spirit’s presence so transformed the band of followers huddled in fear in the upper room, that they were confident enough to go out and boldly proclaim the risen Christ! As we celebrate Pentecost Sunday we affirm our belief in the transforming power of the Holy Spirit who is with us today. Through the experiences of adversity and Reflection Questions conflict we are called to invite the 1. Why were the apostles afraid and locked away? peace and calm of the Holy Spirit to 2.

Back in March, the Respect Life Committee launched our first ever prayer vigil for a death row inmate about to be executed. We joined our prayers with those throughout the state for the man who was killed and for his victims. Is the man on death row any less one of God’s children than you or I? Is his life worth any less because of his sins? protecting life, from conception to natural death. We want to ensure every moment of life is cherished and valued, even if that is difficult due to how that life is being led. St. John Paul II, in his encyclical, The Gospel of Life, stated that in the modern world, where dangerous felons can be safely imprisoned, there is no need to execute anyone. He also reminds us that all life is sanctified, even the life of a grave sinner. Responding to violence with violence only promotes more violence. Prayerfully consider joining the Respect Life Committee for the next execution prayer vigil on June 18. Don’t forget to notify Deacon Rob, Rosemary Erickson, or me if you want to be included in specific communications for these vigils. We will not always have this much lead-time to get the word out and we want to ensure any participation we can have.
