PARISH MISSION STATEMENT Our mission as the Body of Christ in the parish of St. Jean Vianney is to model the love of Jesus by discerning and doing God’s will, consciously Sharing the Word and Eucharist at worship, educating in faith all ages, evangelizing our parishioners for Christ’s mission, and serving justly God’s people, our sisters and brothers within our parish boundaries, our larger Baton Rouge community, and into the world.

If you recall the story of the tower of Babel, you remember that God saw the people of Babel building an enormous tower – one that they thought would go straight to heaven! God decided to put a stop to the building and immediately, everyone working on the tower began to speak a different language. On Pentecost, what happened at Babel was reversed. The Holy Spirit comes down and teaches everyone

one language – the Good News! Eastertime ends with the sound of wind, tongues of fire, instant understanding and enough Spirit to launch a church! It is also a time to reflect on the “seven gifts” of the Holy Spirit: wisdom, understanding, counsel, strength, knowledge, piety and respect. Pentecost is the grand finale of Eastertime; it is the fiftieth and final day of the season. Pentecost is one of the greatest days on the church’s calendar. Christ conferred the Holy Spirit on his apostles on Easter Sunday and then more strikingly on Pentecost. Each year our Diocese gathers all adults who have been preparing to receive the Holy Spirit for reception of Confirmation on Pentecost Sunday. We extend our congratulations and prayers to the following parishioners who will be confirmed on Pentecost: Kristofer Steven Risinger Brittany Elizabeth Shea Lauren Noel Shea Summer Christine Trinkle

LAGNIAPPE Pentecost Sunday

May 24, 2015

Dear Friends, The season of Easter comes to an end this weekend with the Feast of Pentecost. Fifty Days of Easter Joy have allowed us to breathe deeply the hope of Easter resurrection and dispel all sadness in the face of death’s threat. Looking back our parish has celebrated during these sixty days the two sacraments of Initiation : Holy Communion and Confirmation, the first being the Sacrament of Baptism. Holy Communion is the repeatable Sacrament of initiation, being incorporated, literally becoming the Body of Christ, for others. This Monday is Memorial Day, remembering those who have given their lives for the sake of our country. Sometimes it is difficult to push aside the distractions to notice that men and women today are serving to not only defend our nation but give assistance and help to many people in many parts of the world. If we don’t’ have a son or daughter serving we may neglect remembering. I hope you will join us for Mass on Memorial Day morning 8:30am to remember and give Thanks for those who have and are serving. Work continues on the construction projects. As you may know construction on Preschool renovations is underway. Next weekend will be the ordination to priesthood of three men, Brad Doyle, Matthey Graham and Ruben Dykes. We can give thanks to God for these generous men and pray for their future ministry. You may remember that Brad Doyle spent a year here while working at St Michael High School. Hope you are having a good beginning of the summer. Love,

REMEMBER ST. JEAN VIANNEY PARISH IN YOUR WILL

VOCATION

The confused and fear-filled apostles were totally changed by the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, as they became powerful and dynamic proclaimers of their faith in Jesus Christ. God calls priests and religious to serve Him and to serve others, especially by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit in today's Church. If you feel God may be calling you to this ministry, call or email Father Matt Dupré at 225.336.8778, mdupre@diobr.org, or visit, www.diobr.org/vocations.

ST JEAN VIANNEY CAPITAL CAMPAIGN “Our Time to Pray, Our Time to Give”

A MATCHING GIFT There are parishioners who work for businesses which will sometimes MATCH a charitable donation to a Church or School. Is your employer one of those people? If so, your gift to the Capital Campaign could be matched. Sometimes, the employer will match a gift to a SCHOOL but not a CHURCH. Regardless of the case, we can help you find out if your employer will match your gift. Talk to Fr. Tom at the parish office, 753.7950 so we can help you help us.

ADORATION “NOT JUST ANOTHER MEETING”

All are invited on Tuesdays to continue their worship and love of God at adoration. It is a visit, not a meeting. A visit of ‘love to love’.

Taking special time with our Lord is a great way to grow closer to Him.
