STAFF DAY OF REFLECTION The Parish and School Offices will be closed on Wednesday, August 19, so that all can participate in the Staff Day of Reflection.

OUR TRADE SCHOOL IN PIURA After we sent a check to Fr. Joe Uhen from our Lenten collection for the trade school, he replied this way.

We have been enjoying the St. John Vianney Trade School in Piura. We now have computer science and sewing/design added to our masonry and cosmetology classes with enough students to open a third 40 person class for cosmetology and another 20 person class for computer science. Baking and auto repair will be

functioning before the end of the year. We are getting high marks from people in the know for our trade school offerings. And we continue to build and build. We decided to add shops next to our new (and still being built) baking pavilion so that what our students learn and can offer will be available to the public... hair cuts, baked bread and desserts, clothes (and repair), computer work/secretarial, construction, metalwork, auto repair, etc…

Thank you so much for bringing such joy to our people by empowering them and helping them discover their potential.

Padre Joe

Thanks to your generosity the check we sent down was for $52,981.69. Here are some of the pictures.

Blessings, Fr. Ken Knippel

SJV ALUM RECEIVES JSEA AWARD Kevin Cekanor was selected as the winner of the Jesuit Secondary Education Association (JSEA) Award for the Class of 2015 at Marquette University High School (MUHS).

All young men who graduate from MUHS have completed a program of formation that strives to develop

in each person the characteristics and qualities that reflect the tradition and ideals of Jesuit Education. Each graduate is provided with and asked to respond generously to the challenge to become a young man who is: Seeking Intellectual Excellence, Open to Growth, Religious, Loving and Committed to Justice. The JSEA Award annually recognizes the student that most exemplifies these five qualities of the “Graduate at Graduation” and is voted on by all faculty and staff at MUHS. It is a significant honor for Kevin to be the recipient of this award. He was selected as the winner from a class of 248 students. It is also an affirmation of the formation provided by St. John Vianney prior to him being a student at MUHS.

Jeff Monday, Principal, MUHS

TODAY’S GOSPEL REFLECTION Jesus invites everyone to eat his bread and share his life. Children: How can you grow in the way Jesus wants you to?

Adults: Which images from today’s readings touch your heart? Why?

  I. Nathan Edwards/Samantha Hoang

OPEN MEETING There is an Alcoholic Anonymous open meeting on Thursday, August 20, at 8 PM in the Church Hall. Everyone is invited to attend and learn how people live with the disease of alcoholism.

WHAT’S THIS? Introductory Rites—The introductory rites of the liturgy are intended to remind us of who we are and what we are about to do. The introductory rites of the Mass include:

The entrance procession The sign of the cross and greeting

The act of penitence The Glory to God

The opening prayer (collect) The Glory to God We sing or recite the Gloria (Glory to God) at all Sunday Masses, solemnities, and feasts except during

Advent and Lent. We are reminded of God’s goodness shown to us through all of our many blessings, graces and gifts.

The Glory to God infuses us with an attitude of gratitude and thanksgiving. The Glory to God is a hymn of praise echoing the angels at the birth of the Lord, “Glory to God in the

highest, and on earth peace to people of good will.” (Luke 2:14) The text elaborates on this message of the angels, recognizing the goodness and mercy of the Lord God through his Son, Jesus Christ. This prayer dates back to the sixth century.

It is a hymn of pure praise of God for God’s goodness and glory and as such, our voices should be lifted in praise as we say it!

ALL SAINTS MEAL PROGRAM THURSDAY, AUGUST 20, 2015 Please bring your food item to the narthex and chicken casseroles (Please make sure chicken is done—at least two hours cooking time!) to the church kitchen. Thank you to everyone who helps with the All Saints Meal Program. You are doing God’s work!

Note: If you are unable to fulfill your commitment, please find a substitute from among the other volunteers.

Note also that if you would like to participate in this ministry in some capacity, please call Chuck or Debbie Potter at 262-786-3651.

SIDEWALK REPLACEMENT Thank you for your patience while the sidewalk is being replaced in front of the Parish Center. We anticipate the work being completed this week. In the interim, please enter via the church doors.

PARISH STEWARDSHIP: PARISH STEWARDSHIP: A DISCIPLE’S RESPONSA DISCIPLE’S RESPONSEE

LET’S LIVE LIKE THAT There is the danger of complacency, comfort, worldliness in our lifestyles and in our hearts, of making our well-being the most important thing in our lives. How do some people, people ourselves included, end up becoming self-absorbed and finding security in material things which ultimately rob us of our face, our human face? This is what happens when we become complacent, when we no longer remember God…If we don’t think about God, everything ends up flat, everything ends up being about “me” and my own comfort. Life, the world, other people, all of these become unreal, they no longer matter, everything boils down to one thing: having. When we no longer remember God, we too become unreal, we too become empty…Those who run after nothing become nothing. - Pope Francis Heavenly Father, you know me, you know my heart, and you know how easily I can become self-absorbed, overly focused on “me” and “things” rather than you and others. Help me to look upward and outward, rather than inward, and teach me to share rather than covet.

ST. VINCENT DE PAUL MEAL PROGRAM Tuesday, August 18, 2015 Please bring your food item to the Narthex and chicken casseroles to the church kitchen. Drivers for August are Don & Katy Horning and the Booth Family. Servers are Pam Beckman and Christine Pfankuch. Thank you to everyone who helps with the St. Vincent de Paul meal program.

YOU DID IT FOR ME In August 2014, ISIS forced thousands of Iraqi families out of their homes. Many of those families sought refuge to the north in the Kurdistan region of Iraq. Thanks to CRS and Caritas Iraq, child support centers are being built to help more than 2,000 Iraqi children heal and find structure and normalcy in their disrupted childhoods with games and learning activities

CURRENT JULY/JUNE FISCAL YEAR WEEKLY OFFERINGS REPORT Sunday, 08/09/15 Envelopes & Offertory $24,641

Thank you for your gift.

PRAYER, MINISTRY & OFFERINGS Almighty God, we have been formed by the word of your Son. May his word take flesh in our lives and in our service to the poor and the needy.

OUTREACH The following funds have been distributed: $750 to Center of Concern, which is a strong and articulate voice of justice for the Catholic and interfaith community here in the U.S. and globally. They try to analyze the underlying causes of injustices and offer alternatives for change. They ask the difficult “why” questions. Why do these systems exist that cause such human suffering? Then they focus on examining the roots of injustice.

Next weekend (August 22-23) there will be a second collection for the SJV Conference of St. Vincent de Paul at all Masses. This collection provides us with the resources necessary to respond to the

calls for help that we receive almost every day from poor and needy persons in the Waukesha County area. Because of your financial donations, the assistance that we are able to provide includes payments for rent, temporary shelter for the homeless, utility bills (including getting service restored after shutoff), medicine and medical bills, auto fuel and repairs, school supplies, clothing and household items. We also provide vouchers that our patrons can use to purchase clothing, furniture and other household goods at the Waukesha County SVDP stores. These may include some things you have donated to SVDP at the stores or via our parish collections.

The ongoing financial support that we have received from the members of St. John Vianney Parish is very much appreciated and is necessary for us to continue our ministry to the poor. We ask for your continued generosity. If you will not be attending Mass at SJV on August 22-23, you can make your donation via the Parish Office or by placing your check or cash donation in the SVDP poor boxes at the entrances to church. Please also continue to include all Vincentians and the people we serve in your prayers. Thank you again for your support.

CATHOLIC HERALD...THE HERALD OF HEPP? When Bishop Donald J. Hying left for Indiana, the Catholic Herald lost a longtime columnist. One of the priests tapped to fill in as a Herald of Hope writer in the Catholic Herald is Fr. Pat Heppe. Inspirational yet practical, Fr. Pat’s messages resonate with Catholics, reaching them where they are—even on the bike trail, as he showed in a recent column. Read Fr. Pat’s next Herald of Hope – or Herald of Hepp – as he terms it, in the August 20 issue of the Catholic Herald.
