Ordinary Time
Great crowds were
traveling with Jesus, and
he turned and addressed
them, "If anyone comes
to me without hating his
father and mother, wife
and children, brothers
and sisters, and even his
own life, he cannot be
my disciple. Whoever
does not carry his own
cross and come after me
cannot be my disciple."

Parish Mission Statement:
Happy SeptemberFest weekend! I hope you are able to
join in all the fun and food and music and festivities these
two days! Special thanks to Katie Groff and her corps of
volunteers for once again providing a great weekend of
parish celebration!
St. Josaphat Catholic Parish, with faith in a loving
God, joyfully welcomes all who wish to come
together as a community of shared faith in Jesus
Christ, to give glory and praise to God.
We commit to making Christ’s love apparent
on our journey of faith by striving to support,
comfort, forgive, challenge and inspire each
other in our homes, schools, neighborhoods,
community and world.
We are energized through the celebration of the
sacraments and the proclamation of the Gospel.
Through our ongoing formation and education,
outreach to those in need and hospitality to all,
we come to know Christ and make Christ known.
Last week President Obama announced that while he was
confident he had the authority to order a limited strike
against Syria because of their reported use of chemical
weapons against their own citizens, he was going to
consult with the Congress. Amen and thank God! I
hope all of us will use these coming days to reflect on the
violence in Syria and what options are available besides
more violence to address the situation. As Catholics I
hope we will consider the guidance of Pope Francis who
has already spoken out strongly against more military
action. In all the conversations, let us keep the Syrian
people in our prayers that all hearts will turn from
violence and find a pathway to peace.

4 Scripture Reflection
23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time
Our first reading today tells us that our plans are earthly
and that no one really knows what the Lord intends for us.
All of the questions in this reading can be answered with
two words, “no one”. We don’t really know what the Lord
intends for us. We don’t really know what heaven is like.
We might have our own plans but how do we know they
are what God has planned for us? We are always growing
in our faith and to do that we need to have wisdom to be
able to follow and know when God is leading us and when
we are trying to go against God’s plan for us by following
our own plan. This is not always an easy thing to do or to
know. Sometimes we know we are not doing or saying the
right thing but we do it anyway. So how do we get there?
We pray. We pray for guidance and we pray for direction
and then we listen. We listen for God to direct us down the
right path.
In keeping with the theme of our
first reading, our gospel takes us
in the same direction. Now we
are given advice on how to be a
disciple of Christ. This gospel
message is sometimes a difficult
one to hear. The word “hate”
in this scripture reading really
means, “to prefer less”. Jesus is trying to tell us that in order
to truly follow him we have to put him first above all else.
Who puts Jesus above all those whom you love? Who puts
Jesus above material possessions? Who puts Jesus above
money and fame? If the answer to all of these questions is
the 2 words, “I do” then you are on the right track to being
a disciple of Jesus.
— Mary Jane Shields, DRE
Prayer for Peace in Syria
Rest in Peace
God of Compassion,
Hear the cries of the people of
Syria,
Bring healing to those suffering
from the violence,
Bring comfort to those mourning
the dead,
Strengthen Syria’s neighbors in
their care and welcome for refugees,
Convert the hearts of those who have taken up arms,
And protect those committed to peace.
God of Hope,
Inspire leaders to choose peace over violence and to seek
reconciliation with enemies,
Inspire the Church around the world with compassion for
the people of Syria,
And give us hope for a future of peace built on justice for
all.
We ask this through Jesus Christ,
Prince of Peace and Light of the World,
Amen.
This prayer is from Catholics Confront Global Povert, a
collaborative effort of USCCB and Catholic Relief Services.

Parish News 5
ST. JOSAPHAT’S
Examining Gun Violence in
Our Community
This is the anatomy of an internet gun
sale: On July 2, 2013, a Reno Police
Sergeant posted an advertisement for
her Glock 34 handgun on Armslist.com
and sold it to a man who had contacted
her about her posting.
Conklin was unaware that the gun
purchaser suffers from Asperger’s
syndrome and had been committed
to a mental hospital in 2012 after it
was determined that he was a threat to
himself and others. Neither state nor
federal laws require background checks
for sales by non-licensed dealers.
Lots of unregulated guns are available
online.
Because the background checks law
doesn’t apply to most online sales,
these websites are magnets for people
who are prohibited from buying
guns from licensed dealers. Today,
Armslist is the nation’s largest free
gun sale site on the internet offering
over 67,000 guns for sale from private
sellers. Many websites similar to
Armslist likewise offer thousands of
no-background check guns at the click
of a mouse.
Background checks aren’t required for
internet sales and there is no incentive
to request one.
The internet firearms marketplace
allows criminals and other prohibited
purchasers easy access to guns.
When there are flaws in the system,
lives are put at risk.
St. Josaphat is in need of your help
and support
After many years of use, and due to the changes in
the wording of many of the prayers and responses at
mass, we need to retire our red (RitualSong) hymnals
and replace them with new hymnals. After exploring
the variety of hymnals available for today’s worship,
we have decided to purchase the Gather hymnal
which contains much of our current hymnody, a
good selection of new hymns, and also the Sunday scripture readings as well as
the common parts of the mass.
We maintain a library of 250 hymnals for our parish. We are inviting every
parishioner to consider donating one or more of the new Gather hymnals in
memory of a loved one, a favorite teacher or parishioners, or in honor of your
family or friends. Each hymnal will have a special acknowledgement inside its
front cover with the name(s) of the one(s) being remembered or honored, and
the name(s) of the donor (unless you wish to remain anonymous).
Your generosity and commitment to St. Josaphat is vital to our success, and your
contribution toward the purchase of our new hymnals is greatly appreciated.
The donation for a single hymnals is $25, the donation for 5 hymnals is $100.
All donations are welcome and are tax deductible. Donations can be made by
cash or check, or you may go to our online donation site, GiveCentral website,
and donate through the Gather Hymnal option. Gather Hymnal donation
envelopes were mailed to every registered parishioner, and are in today's bulletin
bulletin and also available at the doors of church.
Thank you for considering donating for this important upgrade to your liturgy.
We hope to be able to order the new hymnals and have them available for use in
time for our parish Feast Day weekend, November 9-10.

6 School News
We are back in full swing with the new school year. This year, we welcome eight
new faculty members and two former faculty members who have returned in new
roles: Ms. Emily Dolan –PK3, Ms. Lauren Thier – Kdg, Mrs. Katie Stam – 1st, Mrs.
Frances Minkowski – 2nd, Ms. Theresa Yerkes – 3rd, Ms. Meghan McDermott –
junior high, Ms. Emily Sangalis –Spanish, and Mr. Brian Acker – music. Former
teacher, Mrs Renee Bagdon has returned at our Director of Admissions and Mrs.
Meghan Waldeck will return in November as a Reading Resource teacher. We are
thrilled to have all of them become part of our SJS family.
The four year olds started school by creating a “Friendship Garden” outside their
classroom, below.
Third graders began the school year with some teambuilding activities,
including the Great Marshmallow Challenge where teams had to build a
spaghetti tower that would support a marshmallow, right.
In science, third graders did their first lab by using their skills in observation
and making a hypothesis, below right. The children built a boat out of tin
foil to estimate how many pennies the boat could hold before it sank.
They walked around and observed each other’s boats to make changes and
try loading the boat a second time. One of the boats was able to hold 64
pennies!
We are very proud of our new class of eighth graders. They are already
proving to be leaders in the school.
Looking ahead:
This week, students in 5th grade will be traveling to Camp MacLean
in Wisconsin for an outdoor education overnight.
Students in 6th and 7th grades will also be overnight at Camp
MacLean for beginning and advanced teambuilding.
September 19 will be “Back to School” night for parents.

Raising Faith-Filled Kids • One Word at a Time
Let Go
When a young boy and his father
went to the park, the dad struck up
a conversation with other parents
nearby. His son stood by his side
trying to get his attention: “Dad?
Dad?” The father, so attentive to the
other adults, seemed oblivious to his child. Similarly, as a
mom was picking up her kids from school and loading them
into the minivan, her daughter told a rambling story about
what happened in class that day. The mom was preoccupied
until her daughter suddenly stopped and asked, “Mom, are
you listening?” Listening is not always easy. The Rule of Saint
Benedict calls monks to “listen with the ear of the heart.” One
of the most meaningful gifts we parents can give our children
is to listen—without distraction and with a listening heart.

NEW Low-Gluten Hosts
For some time we have been able to provide low-gluten hosts
to those with wheat gluten intolerance. While we were happy
to be able to provide these hosts, they were a “tougher” host
than what we are used to. But recently the community of
Benedictine Sisters who bake all our hosts have been able to
make some great changes in the low-gluten hosts so they now
look and feel like the regular hosts we are used to. Like the
previous hosts, these are less than .01% gluten content per
bread. They are now white in color and shaped round, like
our regular hosts.
If you would like to receive a low-gluten host, please notify
the priest/celebrant BEFORE mass. The low-gluten hosts
are consecrated and kept in a separate, small ciborium, not in
contact with the regular hosts. At Communion time, please
come to the priest/celebrant for Communion and he will
have the small ciborium and will give you a consecrated host
from that special ciborium.
Join us at St. Josaphat Church on Sunday, September
15, at 7:30 pm, when King Solomon's Singers
proudly present a concert devoted to the music
of Heinrich Isaac, the early Renaissance master of
polyphonic music. The program includes excerpts
from the Missa Carminum and Choralis Constantinus;
two secular motets written for patrons Emperor
Maxilmilian I and Lorenzo de Medici (pictured
above). Suggested donation of $20, $10 for students.
