for the Building Fund. Every tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land

or of the fruit of the trees, is the LORD’s; it is holy to

the LORD. (Leviticus 27:30)

From the Pastor WISHING YOU A BLESSED NEW YEAR! Holiday Mass Schedule Tuesday, December 31, 2019

4 p.m. Vigil Mass Wednesday, January 1, 2020

Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God

New Year’s Day

8:30 and 10 a.m. Masses New Year’s Day falls on a Wednesday.

Because of this, we will not have our normally

scheduled all-day Exposition of the Blessed

Sacrament on January 1st. Neither will we

have our 5:30 p.m. daily Mass, Confessions

and Benediction. We will resume our normal

Wednesday liturgical schedule January 8th Fr. Blum and the Staff of St. John Vianney Catholic Church & School

Discontinuation of the Seasonal

5:30 p.m. Saturday Vigil Mass and

the Seasonal 7 a.m. Daily Mass

After much prayerful discernment,

I have decided not to bring back the seasonal

5:30 p.m. Saturday Vigil Mass and the seasonal

7 a.m. Daily Mass. I no longer see a pastoral need

to offer these Mass times. Please note: The 7 a.m.

Sunday Mass will still remain on the schedule. Based on weekend Mass attendance counts over

the past few years, we have a large enough wor-

ship space and a sufficient number of weekend

Masses (5) to accommodate our Mass crowds

without having to add an additional seasonal

weekend Mass. While the Saturday 4 p.m. Vigil

Mass and Sunday 10 a.m. Mass are our most

well-attended Masses, there is ample space avail-

able at our 7, 8:30 and 11:30 a.m. Sunday Masses. Our current weekday Mass schedule is sufficient

to meet the needs of our parishioners who desire

to attend Mass during the week. The addition,

a few months ago, of the Wednesday evening

weekday Mass will help compensate for the

discontinuation of the seasonal daily Masses and

give parishioners another option for attending

weekday Mass. Perhaps this goes without saying, but this is a

good opportunity to be reminded that our

obligation in fulfilling the 3rd Commandment is to

attend Mass on Sundays (or Saturday evening).

Attending a weekday Mass does not fulfill our

Sunday obligation. However, choosing to attend

weekday Mass in addition to one’s Sunday obli-

gation is highly encouraged and brings many

spiritual benefits. Having one year-round Mass schedule instead

of two seasonal Mass schedules will provide less

confusion and make it easier to communicate

our Mass times both internally and externally.

Please see the front cover of the bulletin for our

current schedule of Masses.

St. John Vianney Catholic School

Gift of Faith

Christ Renews His Parish Our Catholic faith is a precious gift,

and as with any gift, it needs to be used wisely.

Whatever vocation you choose in life, your desire

is to be the best you can be in that profession.

That’s the way it should be with your Catholic

faith, you should desire to be the best Catholic

you can be. St. Francis once said; Preach the gospel at all times,

when necessary, use words. You are called to be a

light to the world’s darkness, so your actions and

encounters with others should be filled with the

light of Christ, with peace and joy...in your homes,

work places, grocery stores or walking down

the street. If you ask God to give you the grace you need each

day to be His beacon of light, He will answer your

prayer. Jesus said: Ask and you will receive...Seek and

you will find...Knock and the door will be opened to you.

(Matt. 7:7) The Team of Christ Renews His Parish

Wishes You a Happy, Holy New Year! Next Women’s Retreat: February 15 & 16, 2020

Humanae Vitae 50 Years Later: History of

Dissent and Defense (CD) Janet Smith, Ph.D. a seminary professor and

internationally-known author and speaker,

provides important context for why

Humanae Vitae is considered the

most controversial, and one of

the most important, encyclicals

promulgated by the church in

modern times. She discusses how this document

written by Blessed Pope Paul VI served to

prophetically warn the world of the dire

consequences associated with artificial

contraception and faithfully witness to the

beauty of God’s plan for sex within marriage. Various CD’s, booklets and/or books are

available in the main entrance of the church.

We kindly ask for a $2 donation for each booklet,

$3 donation for each CD and $5 for each book to
