25th Sunday in Ordinary Time
St. John the Evangelist Weekly Bulletin
I asked Father Gould if I could write the "Dear Folks" letter this week as an opportunity to thank you for all the prayers, Mass
cards, gifts, visits, and support you provided to my Mother, Rosemary, Scott and my family with the passing of my father John two
weeks ago. As all of you know, the Moretti's are a pretty tight family, and over the years I have shared with you some of our
adventures. So it is a special privilege to relate the events of the last two months or so and to see how the Holy Spirit of God got
us all through a very trying time.
In 2013, I was praying here one night in Eucharistic Adoration (I come over from 3-4 am) and I got a feeling
from the Lord that I should make 2014 special for my parents. I took that as a sign, and we did three things that
made it really fun: a cruise to Bermuda from Baltimore that turned out just great; a wonderful celebration here at
St. John's for my parents 60th wedding anniversary; and finally a day trip to Williamsburg. My father retired 29
years ago from one of those well-known three letter government agencies, and they have a legendary training
facility in that area. As one of their chaplains, I visit when I can, and they were hoping to have my father come
along for a visit. When he did make it, they gave him a VIP tour that really made his day.
One month after all of these celebrations, my father was diagnosed with a metastatic melanoma that started in his right lymph nodes. In
early January, he entered an aggressive treatment protocol that stopped it for about six months, but then it came back with greater
intensity. I could see the direction this was going, so starting in July, I did daily prayers to Saint Joseph, and asked him to intercede
before the Lord that my father would have a holy and peaceful death. How Saint Joseph answered my prayers was totally remarkable!!
My father spent the majority of July and August in an out of hospital and health care facilities, and we knew that time was getting short.
He entered hospice, and asked to come home. We contacted Vitas Hospice, and they were just wonderful. They were very caring and
compassionate, with a great number of resources that helped my father be well treated and comfortable right to the very end. Despite
the extent of the cancer, my father was in relatively little pain or discomfort, and had his wits about him until the day before he died. My
mother was able to cook for him and feed him his scrambled eggs and coffee for breakfast, and they talked about how much they loved
each other and that God was calling to my father. He told my mother he could hear God's voice and he had no fear or worries.
On Sunday, August 30th, my sister called me and told me the end was near. Father Gould was wonderful and took Mass for me that
morning and I drove down to Alexandria to be with the family. We set up an altar next to my father's bed, and I gave my father the Last
Rites of the Church. Then, I offered Mass for the 22nd Sunday in ordinary time. The last thing he saw and heard on Earth was his son
offering Mass for him. He died very peacefully 25 minutes later, and our family said prayers around his bedside. A divine peace
descended upon our house, and it calmed us all down as we went through the funeral rites to come.
So many of you came to be with us and it is impossible to thank you sufficiently, so a heart-felt gratitude from my mother and family will
have to suffice. Three hundred friends visited us at Everly-Wheatley Funeral Home the following Wednesday, and it was like "old home
week" for us. Friends from every parish I have served in as a priest came to be with us, and some came from as far away as North
Carolina and Florida. Secretary of State John Kerry and senior friends from the State Department, Defense Department and the CIA all
came by to pay their respects.
Thursday, we all gathered at Saint Rita's Church in Alexandria for the funeral Mass and I was humbled to be the main celebrant and
homilist. Father Gould, Father Jim Barkett, and Father Kevin Walsh were the principal concelebrants, and Bishop Paul Loverde
attended in choir. Thirty priests attended, as well as Deacons Steve Dixon, JD Williams and Don Libera. Billy Chester and Johnny
Williams served as senior altar boys. The occasion had poignancy as it coincided with my parents 61st wedding anniversary and also
the 75th birthday of Bishop Loverde. The bishop gave some very kind remarks at the end of the Mass and did the final commendation.
Rick McEachin and 19 members of the Fairfax Police Department motor division were waiting after the Mass and saluted as my father's
coffin emerged from the church and the priests intoned the "Salve Regina". The police gave Dad a "law enforcement motorcade" from
Alexandria to Fairfax Memorial Park doing escort and traffic control for 16 miles.
The officers and staff NCOs of Quantico Marine Base took over at the burial site and gave Dad full military honors. There is something
always touching when an American flag is folded so ceremoniously and presented to the wife of a former Marine...we all had tears in
our eyes. Father Gould and I were joined by Mike Murphy to do the final prayers and then we departed. Leo and Bonita Pezzi worked
with the Knights of our council to put on a reception after the funeral at Saint Mary's of Sorrows Church which was two miles away, and
it was the perfect place for us to meet and condole. My deepest thanks for their kind efforts putting that repast together!
Finally, as I mentioned earlier, I was so glad to offer prayers to Saint Joseph. He came through for me in so many ways. I promised him
two things in return: that I would offer nine Masses in his honor and that I would gladly proclaim him as the patron saint of a happy
death. Stay tuned in the weeks ahead, and do not be surprised to hear me preaching the wonders of "the silent saint". In the meantime,
please keep my family in your prayers and God bless you all.

Greetings! Please remember the first
Principal Chat is September 24 at 8:159AM at the school. Light refreshments
will be served. The format for the
Principal’s Chat is no agenda-I talk
about what the parents want to talk about except
personnel discussions. “Flat Francis” activities are in
full swing at the elementary school. Modeled after
“Flat Stanley” we are attempting to honor Pope
Francis by having his image appear in pictures from
different states and activities. Please check the
bulletin board across from the boys’ bathroom in the
main lobby of the school for posted pictures. Thanks
to Congressman Hurt, a few of our 8th graders and a
handful of adults will be attending the Pontiff’s
address at 10 AM on the lawn at the Capitol on
September 24. The Congressman was able to get ten
tickets to the event that he earmarked for our 8th
graders. We will do a lottery of those interested in
going, similar to the parish loettery for the Papal
Mass. It is an exciting time for Catholics in the DC
area. Have a great week and God bless you!

On September 15th we began our Adult
Bible Study with the next in the Bible
Timeline series of … registration forms
can be found in the vestibule of the
church, and the parish office.
Revelation: The Kingdom
Yet to Come
Revelation: The Kingdom Yet to Come is an intriguing
study that shows how the kingdom established by Christ
in his Church is intimately connected with the kingdom of
heaven. Here you will discover what the mysterious
figures and images of Revelation mean. You will see
how Revelation is more than an apocalyptic vision of the
"end times." It is a revelation of God as our Divine
Bridegroom and the Church as his spotless Bride,
forever united in a heavenly, holy, and mystical marriage
that we enter into every time we celebrate the Mass.

New Adult Discussion Group is Forming
Beginning September 13, 2015, a new weekly adult
discussion group will be meeting in the Knights’
Social Room. If you love your Catholic faith and
want to share it with others, or want to learn more
about your faith and grow in your depth of
understanding, then this group is for you! We will
cover four basic subjects: scripture, doctrine,
apologetics, and spiritual growth. The group is
sponsored by the Knights but is open to anyone
interested in exploring their Catholic Faith. St.
John’s Parishioner Dr. Jim Dobbins will lead the
group in discussions that will help the participants
to be ready to fulfill the admonishment of St. Peter
in his letter where he tells us we must always be
ready to explain what we say we believe. The
group is especially beneficial for those who have
completed RCIA and now need some regular place
where they can continue their exploration of the
Catholic life. Jim Dobbins has over 20 years of
experience in leading Catholic study groups and
has the full blessing of Father Gould. Each session
will be about one hour from 10:15am – 11:30am.
From the Knights of Columbus Herman J.
Veger Council: “After the brief summer lull,

THE WOMEN OF ST. JOHN
greatly
appreciate the support that the parish has
given to all of our previous collection drives.
The 2015 – 2016 schedule of collections is the
following:
• September/October – sundries (sample
size soap, shampoo, cream rinse, and
hand lotion)
• October/November – hats, mittens,
gloves, and socks, for school age children
• December/January – calendars
These items are distributed to elementary
schools, shelters, nursing homes and other
organizations serving those in need. We thank
you for your continued generosity.
PRO-LIFE EVENT: Please join St. John
the Evangelist Pro-Life Parishioners for
complimentary wine, hors d’oeuvre hour,
dinner & dancing at Paul Stefan Foundation’
8th Annual Black Tie Optional Celebration of
Life Gala on October 17, 2015 at the
Fredericksburg Convention Center. We are

During the weekend of October 24th – 25th,
2015, a second collection will be taken to help
the Little Sisters of the Poor, who have
provided a home and compassionate care for
Virginia’s elderly poor since 1874. The Sisters
will be present at all the Masses to explain
their mission and to ask for your support.
Because their Residents are of limited
financial means, the Little Sisters depend
upon the charity of friends and benefactors
to operate their Home. Your generosity will
enable the Sisters to continue welcoming the
needy elederly and providing them with the
love
and
dignity
they
deserve.

Pilgrimage
The diocesan pilgrimage to the Basilica of the
National Shrine of the Immaculate
Conception is scheduled for Saturday,
October 3rd, 2015 from 9:30am until 2:30pm.
This year’s theme “Oh Mary, Keep Our Family
Alive in Love” is perfectly suited for the
amazing moment we find ourselves in as a
country and as a Church. Our parishes and the
entire diocesan church will have the
opportunity to come together to pray as one
for the XIV Ordinary General Assembly of
Bishops in Rome. Since many families will not
have the opportunity to attend the papal
events, this pilgrimage will allow us to come
together as one family and enjoy a perfect
capstone to the rich and grace-filled two
weeks of the Papal visit. With hearts on fire
we can come together to ask Our Blessed
Mother for her intercession and protection.
Café
The Café is back up and running!
On September 27th, come down to
Mercy Hall after 7:30, 9 and
10:45am Masses and enjoy a
free cup of coffee. Donuts and
other goodies are available for purchase and
support St. John ministries. We will not be
open Oktoberfest weekend, October 4th, but
will be back on the 18th and 25th. Help with
the café is absolutely needed. Please call
Susan Tullington at 349-4285 or email at
[email protected].
Oct 3rd at 11am, due to the fact our wonderful
Priests will be with the Confirmation Group for a
retreat at the Shrine.
