St. John the Evangelist Weekly Bulletin
First Sunday of Lent
Dear Folks,
Coming home from the Monday night CCD high school class I was met with single voice in a very dark
parking lot. I looked around at what seemed a collection of empty cars. A second later the voice returned
and I said, “I am hearing voices.” It was none other than our devoted deacon, Don Libera. Don, just
returned from hip replacement surgery was picking up his daughter from class. He mentioned that he was
allowed to return to driving when he no longer took the pain medication. He looked and sounded great but I
admonished him as I do many of the folks with current surgeries, “Do must not slip, Do not fall.” It is great to have him back. He was
missed.
The recent snowmageddin, thirty inch snow fall, threw my bulletin letters off kilter. I am a week behind where I should be in my letter.
Last week I rushed a letter on our Forty Hours Devotion. The annual parish devotion always precedes Ash Wednesday, in preparation
for the beginning of Lent. And this Lent comes very very early this year.
Lent is a penitential season that very much serves as a personal retreat. We evaluate ourselves on our temptations, passions, habits,
and appetites for sin. We can amuse ourselves with the age old cautions that the sins of the young man are passion, the middle age
man sins by ambition, and the old man falls to greed. Would that the personal problems of life were that simple. We might do better to
focus on the Ten Commandments or Seven Capital Sins (Pride, Covetousness, Lust, Anger, Glutton, Envy, and Sloth).
Lent is also a time to look to the devotions and sacramental duties of life. Please join us at daily Mass during the week as well as the
weekends. Please join us for the Soup Supper followed Stations of the Cross each Friday Night in Lent. Please join us for the
Eucharistic Adoration each Wednesday, from 9:00 AM until 8:00 PM… as well as Thursday morning, 9:00 AM, until Saturday morning
at 8:00 AM. In this jubilee year for Mercy please come for an hour and ask the Lord to bless you, your family, the parish, the local
community, and especially the Faithful living in the war zones. Every Ave Counts.
Start saving your nickels and dimes for a Fr. Moretti Pilgrimage to Rome for the Jubilee Year on Mercy. He hopes to have a trip in the
late Summer or Fall. Stay tuned.
If you are looking for some interesting reading material on the internet I offer two sites to visit. First, http://www.newadvent.org/ It is an
excellent website for Catholic blogs. The second is: The visions of the Passion by Sr. Anne Catherine Emerich:
http://www.jesus-passion.com/DOLOROUS_PASSION_OF_OUR_LORD_JESUS_CHRIST.htm
And, did I say “And?” And, please know that Confessions will be heard each night, starting at 8:00 PM. Come one come all. Big fish
and small. As we are finding more and more penitents coming from neighboring parishes we need to encourage the hometown team to
come early if not often. Not to worry, if you are anxious about a meeting in the Box. Ten dollars will go to anyone who can give us a sin
that has not been heard before. Hmm? Just kidding… in case any folks from the chancery are reading this letter.
Speaking of politics. Please remember that March 1st is the primary election day for the Commonwealth of Virginia. Everyone is
encouraged to vote. Not just a few, but everyone. Please encourage your friends and neighbors to vote. Young and old. Let the
Catholics and non-Catholics vote and help to reinstate a national enthusiasm for their identity in the political world. There used to be an
age when folks worried about the “Catholic Vote,” a “Jewish Vote,” or “Black Vote.” It was a time when Catholics among others were
invested in politics. That age died when I was in grammar school. Now, we are not even sure most folks can name the local mayor,
governor, or what’s his name… the vice president of the United States. But, I digress.
Please study the details on those running for office. Let no one vote blindly but use their God given wit and wisdom in discerning their
vote. Just think of the little widowed Catholic grandmother, retired nurse, mother of nine, wife of a deceased veteran who stood up in
her recent local Iowa caucus and said, “Have you had enough yet?” The place went absolutely wild. Let us pray for one another.
Collegiate answer: Two recent apparitions of the Blessed Mother have taken place in the Islamic world, both is Egypt. They are:Our
Lady of Zeitoun was a mass Marian apparition that occurred in the Zeitoun, a district of Cairo, Egypt, over a period of 2–3 years
beginning on April 2, 1968, in the period after the six day war.
And, The apparitions of Our Lady of Assiut were also mass apparitions in Assiut, Egypt during 2000 and 2001 and many thousands of
witnesses produced photographs of them, which were reprinted in several newspapers.
Collegiate Question: Who was the first Catholic Roman Emperor? Be careful. He also helped set the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in
Jerusalem. Good hunting

Greetings! We had a terrific turn-out at the
Open House both at the elementary
school and pre-school! There were
seventeen new families that were looking at possible
enrollment at the elementary school and ten new
families at the pre-school. At least at the elementary
school, it is almost triple the number of families since I
arrived in 2011.
Many thanks to those parishioners who directed new
families to our school. The parish, according to Fr.
Gould, is proud of our school, and we enjoy a good
reputation in the educational community.
We had a ball during Catholic Schools Week, which
concluded with the above mentioned Open House. I
was very excited with the results of the Religion Bee
on Feb 5. There was a three way tie including the
Saints team, Prodigals team and Evangelists, so we
went to sudden death overtime, and the Saints
prevailed. I was happy that knowledge of Catholic,
Bible and religious items/events was very good. The
teacher beat the 8th grade class in Volleyball, two
games to one, and custodian, Bill Helsel, was the
MVP for the teachers! Activities such as Twin Day,
School Spirit Day and St. John the Evangelist Day
build positive climate and culture at the school. We
are at open enrollment now (beginning February 8),
and we believe the rising 2nd grade and 6th grade will
fill-up quickly (capacity 30). I urge returning families to
re-register their children as soon as possible. A
waiting list will be employed if classes fill to capacity.
Have a geat week and God bless you!
Principal Fairweather
We are having a “Used Book Sale”
to benefit St. John School Library
on May 21 & 22. This will be
outside on the lawn from the
church. Please put all of the
books you plan to donate into small boxes and
bring them to the school after 3:30pm. A school
family has offered to store the books until the
sales, but requests that the books be put into
small boxes to maximize the storage space.
Our ‘Used Book Sale” will ROCK with your help!
Thank you to all of the families who
joined us for our Open House.
Registration is now under way for St.
John Preschool and Pre-Kindergarten
programs. Space is limited. Please contact the
Preschool Office for registration information and to
schedule a tour at 540-347-5341. Info about the
Preschool can also be found on our website at

Every year during the magnificent Easter Vigil liturgy, St.
John the Evangelist and parishes throughout the world
welcome adults into full communion with Christ and his
Church. Through a process of discernment, prayer,
education, and sharing with others on the journey, these
adults prepare to become Catholics and the entire SJE
parish community rejoices with them.
Please pray for St. John's RCIA candidates who will
come into full communion with Christ and His church this
Easter Vigil.
We will continue our Bible Timeline Study with
James: Pearls for Wise Living, an eleven week study.
We meet in Mercy Hall from 7pm to 9pm each
week. This study is for anyone who has struggled
to live a truly Christian Life, as "James" offers a
wealth of practical solutions for handling and
even sanctifying everyday circumstances.
Don't worry about being unable to to attend our
session metings each week, as the registration
process will allow you to watch the videos online
at your convenience.
To sign up for this study please go to the Parish
website to register on line with Ascenscion Press.
In case of inclement weather, we will follow the
Fauquier County “after school” cancellations.
Save The Date
St. John the Evangelist Catholic School will be holding
their annual Spring Spectacular Fundraiser on April 8th at
Fauquier Springs Country Club in Warrenton. Come join
us for a relaxing Evening of food, fun, auctions, prizes
and of course to help support the wonderful students of
St. John’s.
If you are a business owner, big or small, or are in close
relation to one, we are in need of donations for auctions.
Your services, products or business would be greatly
appreciated. Your business will be advertised in the
spring spectacular program and on our two websites in

love.
