PASTOR’S CORNER Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time - July 7, 2019 May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. — Galatians 6:14
SOME ADVICE from a ST. JOAN OF ARC PARISHIONER in ST. CLAIR SHORES, MI: This letter was given to me by a former Parishioner in Davis, California, and I wanted to share it with you, my dear Parishioners, as it is very thought-provoking For the last few years I (Fr. Michael Bugarin) have published an anonymous letter I received from a parishioner during Lent in 2005. Usually I toss anonymous letters right away but this one escaped that fatal ending-- "Fr. Bugarin, I was very moved by your homily on Sunday, February 13, 2005, regarding Hell, Satan, and the response of faithful people to temptation. I am the father of an adult son and daughter, and it pains me to think of the mistakes my wife and I made in raising our children. We thought we had a clever, well thought out solution to the dangers and evils of the world, but instead we were victims of our over estimation of our own perceived abilities and power. In so doing we neglected the saving power and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the intercessory power of the Blessed Virgin Mary.” "Knowing the evils and temptations of our world, my wife and sought to shield our children through endless activity. Like many other parents, we got our son involved in hockey and our daughter in dance; our goal was to keep our children busy and thus not
them a chance to get in trouble. However, I now realize that in engaging in a futile attempt to shield our children from battle with the Devil we were instead merely failing to equip our children for their inevitable battles with Satan. We attempted a human solution to a spiritual problem, and our human limitations and inadequacies resulted in failure. We failed to fill our children with Christ, and instead left a vacuum easily exploited by Satan.” “In focusing our children on endless activity we created selfish, self-centered children. By failing to involve them in Catholic charitable works we taught them to believe they were the centers of their own universes. We replaced Rosaries, Adoration and Bible study with ice time, games and recitals. We missed Sunday Masses for tournaments and catechism for performances, and we rationalized it by asserting that it was 'for the best.' How wrong we were.” “Today, both of our children have left the Church. Our daughter is living with a man and has had an abortion; our son has experimented with drugs and regards the Church with contempt and cynicism. Our first priority should have been to pass on the faith and to teach trust in the Lord; instead, we relied on our human intellect and put our faith in schemes of this world.” “If I could only go back in time I’d make every
Sunday Mass as a family, lead my family in a weekly Rosary, take my children to pray in front of an abortion clinic, lead them in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament, and help them volunteer at a soup kitchen. For despite our best efforts and intentions there still were times my children were alone and lonely, tired and weak, hungry and desirous. I failed to anticipate and prepare my children for those inevitable times of temptation, and the Devil had been patiently waiting. “ “Father, please print my letter in the Church paper. If it will serve as a warning to at least one family it may help them to the pain and regret my wife and I have experienced. An Anonymous St. Joan of Arc Parishioner." God bless, Father Bernardin MUGABO

Your St. John the Evangelist Finance Council wants to remind you that our mission of bringing the love of Jesus Christ to the world is a 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year calling. To complete that mission, our parish relies on the generosity of our parishioners sharing their time, talents and treasures in gratitude for the generosity of our loving God. Over the past few years many parishioners began sharing their treasures through automatic withdrawals from their bank or through ParishPay, now called WeShare. The use of these payment methods helps the parish manage its finances as the contributions bring consistency to our parish budget. Please give some prayerful consideration to helping support the mission of St. John the Evangelist through automatic bank withdrawals or using WeShare. Furthermore, if you currently are using these methods of contributing to the parish, consider if you can increase your contributions. Every little bit helps.
ON-LINE CHECKING - Most parishioners can also arrange through their bank to have electronically created checks mailed from their account to the church. It is important that the check show the parishioner’s envelope account number and the purpose for the check, such as Sunday, Campaign, Holy Day, etc. Example: 9876 Campaign or 9876 Sunday. Checks should be made payable to: St. John the Evangelist Church, 5751 Locust Ave., Carmichael, CA 95608-1320
Parishioners may also call the WeShare company for assistance in creating an account for themselves: (800) 950-9952, Select Option 1
