The Season of Ordinary Time - St. Jude the Apostle Catholic Church

The Season of Ordinary Time
“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today and forever.”
Hebrews 13:8
Today we celebrate the Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time...what
does Ordinary Time represent in our Catholic Faith? Although
ordinary time sounds like a dull, boring time of year, in the Church
calendar, it’s the season when Catholics grow and mature in their
faith outside the great celebrations of Advent, Christmas, Lent and
Easter. Ordinary Time is celebrated in two segments: from the
Monday following the Baptism of Our Lord up to Ash Wednesday;
and from Pentecost Monday to the First Sunday of Advent. This
makes it the largest season of the liturgical year.
The liturgical year follows the natural rhythms of life - periods
of intense concentration and celebration followed by times of quiet
reflection and maturation. Ordinary Time or tempus annun in Latin is
those weeks and months of growth when we set aside the major anniversaries and remembrances of our faith and
concentrate on our own intimacy with Christ in order to live out the message of the Gospels. In fact, the term
“ordinary time comes not from the word meaning common, but from the word ordinal” meaning numbered.
How do we take advantage of this season of the church year? We can deepen our prayer life, read the
scriptures and unite more deeply with the Lord in the Eucharist. We can decide to attend daily Mass, say the
rosary, attend a retreat such as our annual parish retreat at Ignatius House or CRHP, spend time with the Holy
Sacrament, sign up for the Elijah Cup and pray for vocations or go to confession more frequently. We can
volunteer our time to help those less fortunate. We can get involved in a parish ministry. By doing this, we
can become the extraordinary messengers of the Gospel that we have been commissioned to be through our
Baptism.
Ordinary Time is only ordinary if we think of it that way. If we consider these weeks, not as the long boring
stretches between the good stuff, but as a time to try new things and refocus our energies on our spiritual
growth, Ordinary Time can become one of our favorite -- and most rewarding -- times of year. Ordinary Time
is this day, this moment. Now. Live it well!

Remember St. Jude this Summer
Whatever your plans are for this summer, we ask that you
keep our Parish in mind. Our Parish relies on your regular
offertory contributions throughout the year, whether you are
in town or not. Before you depart, kindly drop your
envelopes in the offertory basket at Mass, set up electronic
processing to automatically transfer funds from your
checking or savings account or to be processed using your
credit or debit card, or mail your checks to our parish office.
We rely on these monies for the daily operations of our
Church and also to fund the various programs and activities
we offer. Please ensure that you include your envelope
number on your checks so we properly credit your account.
While you are away, please pray for the St. Jude parish
family. Whether on a beach, at the lake, visiting family or
friends, you can pray that we remain faithful to God’s calling
to serve and build up his Church.
St. Jude is a special parish because of families like yours and
we appreciate your continued generosity during the summer.
We hope that you and your family have a blessed and safe
summer wherever you may spend it.

Catechist Faith Formation Day 2014
Saturday, August 23
Killing Jesus Book Study
Starts Monday, August 4
During August, we will be offering
a new four week book study on
Monday nights from 7:00pm 8:30pm in Room 233. Killing Jesus
by Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard
details the events leading up to the
murder of the most influential man
in history: Jesus of Nazareth. Killing Jesus takes readers
inside Jesus’s life, recounting the seismic political and
historical events that made his death inevitable – and
changed the world forever. Through reading and
discussion, we will learn more about Jesus’ life and times,
his beliefs and obtain a greater understanding of how He
influences the lives of Christians today.
The class will be facilitated by Martha Smith. There is no
cost for the class and we ask that you purchase a copy of
the book on your own. Please read the first two chapters
before the first meeting on Monday, August 4. Register
at www.stjudeatlanta.net/oreilly
All religious education and St. Jude School teachers are
warmly invited to attend the 8th annual Catechist Faith
Formation Day on Saturday, August 23 from 8:00AM to
4:30PM at Transfiguration Church in Marietta.
The faith formation day is a collaborative effort of the
North and North Metro Deaneries of the Archdiocese of
Atlanta of which St. Jude is a member. This conference
seeks to provide the catechist with:
• Access to national level speakers representing major
publishers
• A local opportunity to network with catechists from
other parishes
• An opportunity to view current materials featured by
sponsoring publishers
• Ongoing catechist faith formation from basic through
advanced certification
This is a wonderful opportunity to enhance your teaching
skills and to network with other teachers. There is no cost
to attend. To see a complete listing of workshops being
offered that day, visit the faith formation website at
www.catechistconference.wordpress.com.
Marriage Alive
Saturday, July 19
Married couples of all ages and stages are invited to a BBQ
and movie night, sponsored by our marriage ministry on
Saturday, July 19. Join us at 6:30PM on the patio outside of
the youth center (lower level Ministry Building) for some
summer fun! We will first have a potluck barbecue dinner
followed by the showing of the movie Courageous. From
the writers of Fireproof, comes a story about four law
enforcement officers whose lives are deeply tested as they
embrace their calling to serve and to protect. When
tragedy hits close to home, they are left wrestling with
their hopes, their faith, and their priorities as men. It is a
powerful movie that will inspire you!
RSVP and tell us what you are bringing at
twww.SignUpGenius.com/go/20F0D4BA9AE2FAB9bbqmovie or contact Natalie Uebelacker at 404-831-4681
for more information. Hope you can join us!

Ministry Leaders Needed
Lord Jesus, Master, help me to identify the talents with which You have blessed me.
Give me the desire to return a portion of my talents to You and my church community.
Help me to serve You through my actions. Amen.
One of the things that makes St. Jude special is the vibrant and active ministries we have. We currently have four
openings for ministry leaders. Please prayerfully consider sharing your time and talent as a leader for one of these
deserving ministries. It is a great way to get involved in your parish, share your enthusiasm with our church community and
be a faithful steward of God’s gifts. Please contact Julie Smith at [email protected] or 678-252-5849 to
volunteer or for more information.
Natural Family Planning
This ministry is responsible for communicating information about Natural Family Planning (NFP) to the families of our
parish. Natural Family Planning (NFP) is the umbrella term for the natural, healthy, morally acceptable methods of
family planning recommended by the Catholic Church to help couples space, achieve, or avoid pregnancy. This ministry
works with the archdiocese and our parish to answer questions about the NFP process, share
information about classes, and to share the good news about the benefits of NFP.
Respect Life
The work of our Respect Life Ministry is fourfold:
liturgical, education, social action and pastoral care - all with the intent of promoting a culture of life - according to our
Catholic faith and teachings. Activities of this
ministry include participating in local Respect Life rallies and marches, fundraisers for crisis pregnancy centers and
other outreach, projects to protect and save life;
sponsoring of liturgical events and education of the
parish community on respect life issues. The leader of this ministry works in conjunction with the pastor and the Archdiocesan Respect Life Director. If you are interested in leading this ministry, please contact Fr. Adam directly to discuss
the requirements and timeframes for Respect Life activities and events.
St. Teresa’s Circle
St. Teresa’s Circle is our ministry for mothers. The Circle meets monthly and often has guest speakers who discuss
topics relevant to mothers such as faith, marriage and family. The Circle also has some evening social events, provides
meals to families with new babies or ill family members, organizes the parish Easter Egg Hunt, the Basket of Blessings
program, and an annual auction benefitting the Interfaith Outreach Home. This ministry leader will be responsible for
organizing events and communicating them to the parish community. This is a great position to share with a friend.
Young Adult Singles
The Young Adult Singles ministry is new to St. Jude. This ministry will bring together people in their 20s and 30s and
connect them to our parish, the Archdiocese and their Catholic Faith through a variety of social, spiritual and service
events. This ministry leader will be also be responsible for the Young Adult Singles Facebook page.

Archdiocesan Pastoral Plan Update
Meetings This Week
Based on the March 2014 Pastoral Plan Survey of active,

2) Living Our Faith
3) Spreading/Keeping Our Faith
4) Evolution of Our Parishes
As each parish and mission is essential to the creation
of a vibrant and insightful Archdiocesan Pastoral Plan,
Archbishop Gregory has asked our parish to develop
three recommendations for each of the four key issues.
Parish ministry leaders will be meeting at 7:00PM on the
following dates to develop these recommendations:
Monday, July 14 - Knowing Our Faith - Room 233
Tuesday, July 15 - Evolution of Our Parishes - St. Jude

Religious Education Registration 2014-15
Registration for our 2014-15 religious education programs is underway at
www.stjudeatlanta.net/PSR2014. The cost per family is $115. There is a separate fee of
$25 for children preparing to receive First Eucharist in 2015. Payment plans and financial assistance is available.
We offer programs for children age 3 through 12th grade. Traditional and
Montessori-based classes are available. We also offer a program for those with
disabilities. A special Rite of Christian Initiation Class for Children is offered for those
children age 7 or older who are not yet baptized or have not had the two years of required
formation for receiving First Eucharist. A description of our programs is below. Classes
meet on Sunday mornings during the school year. Questions or financial assistance requests can be directed to Martha Robert at [email protected] or 678-252-5676.
Littlest Angels (3 to 4 Year Olds)
Littlest Angels utilizes Pflaum Gospel Weeklies: What the Church Believes and Teaches Faith Formation Program. This
popular program consists of a faith formation handbook, What the Church Believes and Teaches, plus 32 weekly
Gospel-based lessons. Together they provide a unique alternative to the traditional textbook. For preschoolers, the
Sunday Gospel message creates the foundation for them to begin a lifetime of learning about their faith. Concepts are
introduced simply and powerfully, Jesus becomes immediate and real, make-and-do projects match preschoolers’ skills,
and parent notes get families involved.
Faith and Life (Kindergarten - 5th Grade)
This elementary PSR program utilizes Pflaum Gospel Weeklies: What the Church Believes and Teaches Faith Formation
Program. This popular program consists of a faith formation handbook, What the Church Believes and Teaches, plus 32
weekly Gospel-based lessons. Together they provide a unique alternative to the traditional textbook, especially for
programs where class time is limited. All five editions of Pflaum Gospel Weeklies: What the Church Believes and
Teaches have been found in conformity with the Catechism of the Catholic Church by the Subcommittee on the
Catechism of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
RCIC (Rite of Christian Initiation for Children)
RCIC is a special preparation class offered for children (ages 7 and older) who have not yet taken the two years of
required Catholic Religious Education needed to receive the Sacrament of First Eucharist. Children receiving
Sacraments prepare through the study of moral parables, an extended discovery of the Eucharist, and attending special
retreats. It is part of the Faith and Life program.
Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS) (Ages 3-13)
CGS is an Archdiocesan-approved faith formation program that uses a Montessori approach for children ages 3 to 13.
Children meet in a permanent, prepared environment called an “atrium” and discover their faith through scripture and
liturgy. Classes contain mixed age groups according to the children’s needs:
• Level I for 3 to 6 year olds
• Level II for 6 to 9 year olds
• Level III for 10 to 13 year olds
Special Needs Religious Education (SPRED)
A special needs classroom experience is offered for children with learning or physical disabilities. SPRED’s goal is to
provide a positive, affirming atmosphere in which all students can learn and grow in their faith. Parents interested in
enrolling a child in this program should contact the parish office to discuss the child’s needs.

“You have crowned the year with your bounty,
and your paths overflow with a rich harvest.”
Psalm 65:12
LIVING GOD’S WORD
How are Christians to respond to this “foolish” God? We
must ask ourselves if we are allowing God’s Word to take
root deep in our hearts and produce an abundant yield.
We must ask if we are too stingy with the good news,
fearful of being rejected.

PRAYING PACEM IN TERRIS
The Archdiocese of Atlanta is asking that we
pray and reflect on excerpts from Pope John
XXIII’s Pacem in Terris encyclical during
the 2013-14 liturgical year.
Men, both as individuals and as intermediate
groups, are required to make their own specific contributions
to the general welfare. The main consequence of this is that
they must harmonize their own interests with the needs of
others, and offer their goods and services as their rulers shall
direct—assuming, of course, that justice is maintained and
the authorities are acting within the limits of their competence. Those who have authority in the State must exercise
that authority in a way which is not only morally irreproachable, but also best calculated to ensure or promote the State's
welfare. (53)
Items Needed for Refugees
Catholic Charities Atlanta’s (CCA) Refugee
Resettlement Program has seen an unprecedented number
of refugee arrivals over the past months. Because of the
large influx, CCA’s supplies are low. They need
household items to set up 60 apartments over the next two
months. Furniture, pots and pans, twin size sheets and
comforters, cleaning supplies, bathroom supplies are most
needed. Items may be dropped off at CCA’s Northake
office at 2305 Parklake Drive, Suite 150, Building 9 or
contact Kim Longshore at 678-222-3964 or
[email protected]. Additional help is
needed by volunteers willing to help staff with the actual
moving in and setting up of these apartments.

Summer Lunch Bag Food Drive
Community Assistance Center (CAC)
Please donate to CAC’s summer lunch
bag program and help feed local children
this summer. Many families who need
assistance with feeding their children
during the summer months. Food
donations typically decrease in the
summer months leaving the pantry low on food.
However, requests for food increase in the summer when
children who get free meals at school are home and
parents struggle to provide enough food for them.
A CAC lunch bag feeds a child for 5 days with easy to
prepare foods that they can make themselves. Visit
www.ourcac.org for a list of needed items. Thank you
for feeding a hungry child!

Vivamos la Palabra de Dios
¿Cómo hemos de responderle los cristianos a este Dios
“insensato”? Debemos preguntarnos si permitimos que la
Palabra de Dios eche raíces en nuestro corazón y
produzca una cosecha abundante. Debemos preguntarnos
si somos demasiado tacaños con la buena nueva por temor
a ser rechazados.
!!!Catecismo para Adultos!!!
¿Necesitas recibir los Sacramentos del
Bautismo, Primera Comuniόn o
Confirmaciόn? ¿Asistes solamente a Misa y
quieres saber más sobre nuestra fe católica? ¿Tienes
Preguntas sobre los Sacramentos, la Misa, la Virgen María? Ven a participar en nuestro programa de RICA "Rito
de Iniciaciόn Cristiana para Adultos”. Tu eres importante
y debes conocer tu fe catόlica. Informaciόn : Cielo Pava:
