WORSHIP & PRAYER
EMEs: Due to retirements and
a few L.O.A.’s there are
several openings on this
quarter’s schedule for the
12:15 pm Mass. I ask that if
you are an EME that is able to
distribute Communion and are
at the 12:15pm Mass, please
check in to the Ministers’
Room to see if your assistance
is needed.
All Liturgical Ministers: With
it being cold and flu season
and with various other bugs
going around this time of year,
last-minute absences will
occur. If you are unable to
make your assignment, if
possible, please try to call
another minister who is also
scheduled to let them know
that your space will need to be
filled. This will help the Mass
Coordinators. You may call
the office, but I am usually not
in on the weekends and I will
not receive your message until
my next workday.

THE SECOND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME, JANUARY 19,
2020 (YEAR A)
WATER AND SPIRIT
Last Sunday, John baptized Jesus with water. This week John
asserts that Jesus is “the one who is going to baptize with the Holy
Spirit.” Soon we celebrate the fulfillment of this promise on the 50th
day of Easter: Pentecost. Ordinary Time is the working out of this
promise, starting with Jesus’ own baptism and each of ours, too. Text, Philip J. Sandstrom, STD © 2001, OCP. All rights reserved.
SJV CHOIR: Rehearsal this Thursday, January 23, at 7:00 pm in
the church. The choir will sing at the 10:30 am Mass on Sunday,
January 26.
Next week, we will take up the Collection for the Church in Latin
America. For many in Latin America and the Caribbean, a rising
secular culture, difficult rural terrain, and a shortage of ministers all
present obstacles to practicing the faith. Your support for the
collection provides lay leadership training, catechesis, priestly and
religious formation, and other programs to share our Catholic faith
with those who long to hear the Good News of Christ. To learn
more about how your gifts make a difference, visit
www.usccb.org/latin-america.
SAINT JOHN VIANNEY NURSERY
today, Sunday, January 19
during the 10:30 am Mass in the John Paul II Room for children between the ages of 1 and 4.
THANK YOU TO MAUREEN AND JIM KRAIZEL: The Volunteer
Appreciation Party took place in the Father Kline Social Center last
Saturday after the 6:00 pm Mass. Over 200 parishioners attended Mass
celebrated by Father Johns and the Social which took place after
Mass. Everyone enjoyed the great appetizers and pizza provided by
Cater to You. Thank you to Glenn and Jeff for the great food and to
Maureen and Jim for providing such a good night for the generous
volunteers of the parish. We appreciate the hard work so many do to
make this parish such a good one and we are glad that you took the time
to come and meet some of your fellow volunteers.

This weekend there is no PSR as we allow our families time to celebrate
Martin Luther King Day. King’s legacy of respect for human rights, social
justice advocacy, and a call to recognize equality, all have had a great
impact on our society and offers us much food for thought and prayer.
PSR will resume on January 26 and grades 1-6 will begin the Called to
Protect program that is required by the Diocese.
Last Sunday evening our Confirmation candidates gathered for a wonderful
discussion of our Catholic call to serve others. A huge thank you to our
discussion panel, Lindsay Dunkel, Ali Manning, and Alex Spenik. Your
insights and example were truly inspiring! Our next Confirmation session
will take place on February 9 from 6:30-8:00 pm in the Church. At that
session we will begin to focus more on the spiritual preparation for
Confirmation as we discuss the role of the Holy Spirit and His gifts and
fruits. At the end of February, candidates will take part in a Confirmation
retreat given by SENT Ministries of Franciscan University. This will take
place in the Social Center on Saturday, February 29, from 10:00 am to
5:00 pm.
Confirmation candidates are reminded that all paperwork is now due.
Service project sheets and volunteer opportunity sheets should be turned in
as soon as you complete the activities.
A make up session for the First Communion parent meeting will take place
next Sunday, January 26, at Lake Catholic in the Atrium at 9:30 am. If you
were unable to attend the meetings on January 14, please join us. We will
have all materials, information, and instructions for you. If you have not
attended a meeting and are unable to attend the make up, please contact
Laura at 440.255.0600 or at [email protected].
The first of our First Communion Enrichment Evenings will be held on
Friday evening, January 31, at 6:30 pm in the Church. This special evening
is open to 2nd grade families and provides a great opportunity to explore the
Church and learn more about the Mass. No RSVP is required, and this
event will be repeated on February 7 for anyone who is unable to attend.
Thought for the Week:
In light of our theme of ‘Let your light shine’ for this year, perhaps this quote
by Martin Luther King, Jr. can inspire us to recognize and use our lights!
“Be a bush if you can't be a tree. If you can't be a highway, just be a trail. If you can't be a sun, be a star. For it isn't by size that
you win or fail. Be the best of whatever you are.”
POOR AND NEEDY PARISH SCHOOLOF RELIGION (PSR) Laura McBride
As you can well imagine, our food
pantry got pretty well depleted
over the holidays. Items we have
the greatest need for at this time
are paper products (those items
that are taxable) paper towels,
kleenex, toilet paper (4 pack),
laundry detergent, etc. Many of
our clients receive assistance
from SNAP and taxable items
cannot be purchased with that
type of assistance.
As always, thank you for your
generosity. We are only able to
do what we do because of your
generosity.

RESPECT LIFE
"Cardinal O’Connor preached
most powerfully by his example
the necessity of seeing in every
human being, from the first
moment of conception to the last
moment of natural death and
every moment in between ... the
image of a God to be loved and
served. What a great legacy he
has left us in his constant
reminder that the Church must
be always unambiguously
Pro-Life." Cardinal Bernard Law, in his homily

Divorce Recovery for Catholics, an 8 Week
Support Group, designed to meet the needs of
those who are divorced or separated, is being held
at St. John Vianney Parish, 7575 Bellflower Rd.,
Mentor, from 7:00 - 9:00 pm, Thursday evenings, January 23 and runs
through March 5, 2020. It’s not too late to join! Sessions are
designed to offer direction, support, and the tools for coping with this life-
changing experience. For more information or to register, please call
Catholic Charities at 352.6191 or 1.800.242.9755, or email
[email protected] There is no charge for this program, all
materials are provided, and it is open to people of all faiths.
The second encyclical of Francis’ pontificate is “Laudato Si,” on the
importance of caring for the environment. It is worth reading. In the
opening line, he quotes Saint Francis of Assisi, “Praise be to you, my
Lord.” In the words of this beautiful canticle, we are reminded that our
common home is like a sister with whom we share our life and a
beautiful mother who opens her arms to embrace us. “Praise be to
you, my Lord, through our Sister, Mother Earth, who sustains us and
governs us, and who produces various fruit with colored flowers and
herbs.” This sister now cries out to us because of the harm we have
inflicted on her by our irresponsible use and abuse of the goods with
which God has endowed her. We have come to see ourselves as her
lords and masters, entitled to plunder her at will … we have forgotten
that we ourselves are dust of the earth, our very bodies are made up
of her elements, we breathe air and we receive life and refreshment
from her waters.

Dear Parishioners,
The Christmas Season is now over and we are
back into what is called “Ordinary Time” on the
liturgical calendar. We will remain in “Ordinary Time”
until February 26, when we celebrate Ash Wednesday
and begin the season of Lent. Thank you again to the
many parishioners who helped us to celebrate the
Christmas Season so well!
Pictured above are Rosie Rebol, William
Temple and Vayla Wheatley, the modern day “magi” as
they took a break in their journey in the gathering
space of the church on Epiphany Sunday two weeks
ago. Like the magi of old, the three of them spent
some time in the presence of the Christ Child and His
mother, Mary. Rosie’s expression captures the sense
of joy in finding the Christ Child, William’s serious look
expresses the realization that this child has come to
save us from our sins, and Vayla’s look of wonder
captures the mystery of the manifestation of Christ as
the Savior of all nations. May God bless them and all
the children of the parish as they learn so much from
their parents who place a high priority on the practice
of their Catholic faith each week. My prayer is that
more and more parents may do the same in this
coming year.
Speaking of parents, we have a Marriage and
Family Life Ministry at the parish and one of their
annual events to support family life is “We Believe in
Marriage Day.” The event will take place this year on
Saturday, February 15, the day after Saint Valentine’s
Day. Married couples are welcome to attend the 4:00
Mass that day to renew their marriage vows. The
Mass will be followed by a social, dinner and dancing in
the Father Kline Center until 10:00 pm. Tickets are
$20 per person and watch the bulletin next weekend
for information on how to RSVP and register for the
evening. As in past years, it should be a great
evening. Save the date on your calendars. Father
Dober will be the celebrant of the Mass.
Another annual event at the parish is the Celtic
Weekend and that will take place on Saturday, March
7, and Sunday, March 8. The Celtic Ball takes place at
the LaMalfa Party Center on Saturday evening and the
Hooley takes place at the Father Kline Center on
Sunday afternoon. Tickets for both events are
available by contacting Sheila Randel at 953.8954 or
[email protected]. The honorees this year are
Joe Dowd, Neil and Mariann Gallagher, and Judy
Bartel and Sr. Maureen Burke. Mike and Mary Amrine
are the recipients of the Father Kline Award. This will
be the last Celtic Ball and I am hoping for a record
crowd at the LaMalfa Center on Saturday evening.
The Hooley will continue to take place at the parish in
coming years and it is an event which typically sells out
by the 1st of March. We are looking for raffle baskets
(valued at $35+), items for baskets, and Silent Auction
items (valued at $250+). Do you have season tickets
to a CLE sports team, a gift card from Christmas which
you will not use or a handy appliance never used and
still in the original box, or something similar? If so,
contact Molly Smith at 440-479-2743 or
The members of the 50+ Club are reminded of
the Annual Travel Show at 7:30 pm in the Father Kline
Center on this Thursday. John Latkovich from JKL
Tours will present the tentative events he has planned
for the 50+ Club in 2020. I saw some of his
suggestions and they look like they will be a lot of fun.
Call Norma if you plan to attend the meeting or if you
want more information about the Club. We have over

200 members in the group now. I came up with the
idea of a 50+ Club for our parish after visiting Saint
Mary Parish in Chardon where I saw a sign for one of
their newest organizations—”An Empty Nester” Club.
Like Mentor, Chardon has a large population of seniors
who now have more time to do things they could not do
earlier when they were working and raising a family. I
am glad that the 50+ Club is doing well and I am glad
that the same can be said of “Three Pillars.” This is
another new group at the parish and it is for young
couples or individuals and their children who wish to
develop bonds of friendship with fellow parishioners to
support faith and family life. They too are growing in
numbers and have a lot of good events planned for this
new year of 2020. Call Ali Manning for more
information.
On this Saturday, January 25, at the 6:00
Mass, we will begin the celebration of Catholic Schools
Week. Some children from our parish school, All
Saints, will serve in many of the liturgical roles at that
Mass and the WILMAR, the Deimling Family Founders,
the Father Johns, Miller Family and the Walk in Faith
Scholarships will be awarded to some deserving
students after the Communion Rite. It is always a nice
liturgy and all are welcome to join us. There is a whole
week of activities at All Saints from this Monday to
Friday as the children and staff will celebrate their great
pride in their school. Check elsewhere in this bulletin
for information about the Open House opportunities at
the school, especially on Sunday, January 26, when
there will be a Free Pancake Breakfast there from
11:00 to 1:00. Have breakfast, meet the teachers, and
take a tour ! FTJ

EDUCATION & FORMATION
ALL SAINTS SCHOOL OF SAINT JOHN VIANNEY
Classroom News- 2020 is off to a busy start for Room 8B! The students are wrapping up the second quarter
and are in the second round of MAP testing. The buzz about where they hope to attend high school is in the air.
They will be filling out the high school applications very soon and then they wait for the admission letters begin!
They will hear right around Valentine’s Day as to which high school they have been accepted. The students are
hoping to finish the academic year strong! In Math, the students are learning about graphing linear equations
and systems of equations. This can be very confusing at first. A chapter in geometry will begin soon. This will
get them ready for high school math. We are looking forward to meeting the 8th graders from St. Aloysius (our
Church in the City partner) and spending some time with them. It’s hard to believe the school year is half over
but there are still many 8th grade memories to make!
Students are officially back in the swing of things! The second quarter officially ended on January 17, which
means we are halfway through the school year. And no snow days yet?!
We’re gearing up for Catholic Schools Week which will kick off at the 6:00 pm Mass on January 25 at St. John
Vianney This week celebrates the blessings and benefits of attending Catholic schools, and adds a little
excitement to the long month of January.
Spotlight on 8th Grade Students:
My name is Gabe Girardi and I have been going to All Saints for seven years. All Saints is
cool because we have a lot of fun traditions. My favorite subject is science. In my free time, I
like to play football and basketball. Next year I would like to go to Lake Catholic, VASJ, or
Gilmore.
My name is Ivan Blazevic. I am an average 3.85 student with brown hair and brown eyes. I’m
about 5’3” and weigh about 96 pounds. I’m also a 13 year old young athlete who plays soccer. I
live in Eastlake but I never forget my origins from Croatia. I have one sister, Mia, who is in fifth
grade. My hobbies are soccer, hanging out with friends, and spending time with my family. I
am a cheerful person who cares for others when other people don’t. Outside of school, I am
funny, outgoing and generally friendly kid who loves to socialize with others and quite easy to
get along with. I am special in God’s eyes because I never leave a person behind.
We will have several Open Houses for those interested in learning
more about our school. We look forward to meeting you!

Your Legacy
There is no greater satisfaction than knowing that your personal property
and accumulated wealth will be shared exactly how you personally
desire. Whether your estate is large or small, you should make certain it
is properly distributed to those whom you wish it to go. If you wish to
remember our parish, Saint John Vianney, this can be done through
careful preparation of your estate plans.
Our parish honors all who make their plans to remember the parish by
enrolling them into the Saint John Vianney Legacy Society. Please call

The Women’s Prayer Group is
beginning its sixth year! We
have prayed intercessory
prayers for so many and God
has responded, overflowing in
His great love and mercy! Our
first meeting in 2020 is Sunday,
January 26, 2019 at 7:00 pm in
the Chapel. We will praise and
adore God the Father, our
“Papa God.” Come and be
blessed in our good God’s
love. All women are welcome!

Attention Retired Catholics!
Your most important work may
be after you retire. The Ignatian
Volunteer Corps is recruiting
new volunteers!
IVC is an opportunity for adult men
and women to offer their skills,
wisdom and life experience in
direct service to those in need. In
return for a commitment of 1 or 2
days a week with a local non-profit
the IVC program provides monthly
guidance for personal reflection
and prayerful conversations with
fellow IVC volunteers. Together,
we hope to see the face of Christ
in those we serve. Call IVC

It was great to be able to
recognize so many volunteers
last Saturday. Here is a list of a
few of the ministries that were
represented at the Volunteer
Appreciation Party: the choir,
cleaning crew, furniture bank,
ushers, PSR faculty, Festival
workers, Fish Fry workers,
Project Hope, bakers, Wellness
Ministry members, Three Pillar
members and many more
ministries. Know that we
appreciate our many volunteers
every day. We could not do all
that we do as this very vibrant
Parish without the dedicated
disciples that give of their time
and talents.
Is your ministry, neighborhood or
family looking for a fun and
fulfilling service project to do
together? St John Vianney has
provided the Sunday evening
meal on the second Sunday of
each month for Project Hope
since the shelter opened. This
involves planning the meal,
purchasing the food, cooking and
delivering for 40 people. This is
truly living out God’s command to
"feed the hungry" here in our own
community. If you would like to
volunteer for one Sunday
evening’s meal or if you have
questions, please call Margaret
Timko at 255.6530.
