RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT

SHOPPING CENT$ Sales have been very light lately. Please remember

that the profits from Shopping Cent$ help minimize

tuition increases at St. John the Baptist School. The

effect last year was a savings of about $75 per

student. Families with multiple students saved even

more in tuition! We have many regular customers who

buy weekly - thank you! Now we would love to see

some new families using Shopping Cent$, especially

the school families. This fundraiser doesn't cost you

anything extra; it's just a change in how you pay for

your purchases. As our sales decline so does the

profits back to the school and in the end will result in

families having to pay more for tuition. If you haven't

used Shopping Cent$ please give it a try; every little

bit helps!

ARE YOU AWARE BY DONNA SUNDERHAUS

STEWARDSHIP OF FINANCE

ARE YOU AWARE that this is Mrs. Crowder’s

last full week with us? She has been an example of

Christianity to all of us. Her dedication to her job and

to us has been absolutely wonderful. She is surely

going to be missed. We are happy that she is able to

retire, but sorry to see her go. She has been with St.

John’s full time since 1991. We wish her a long and

happy retirement and thank her for her many years of

service.

ARE YOU AWARE that our school offered a

“Random Acts of Math” class for parents? It was a

program that teaches ways to sneak in math mastery at

home during the summer break. Several parents took

advantage of this neat course.

ARE YOU AWARE that our Fourth graders

visited Great American Ball Park and the Cincinnati

Reds Hall of Fame to take part in a “Science of

Baseball” field trip? Students took a tour of Great

American Ball Park and participated in a “Science of

Baseball” program to learn how force, friction and air

density affect the game.

I HAVE LEARNED that God loves us because of

who God is, not because of anything we did or didn’t

do.

PARISH LIBRARY SPOT In the introduction to 7 Secrets of

Confession by Vinney Flynn, Father

Michael Gaitley states “If you’ve

ever dragged your feet on the way to

confession, gotten discouraged

about confessing the same sins over

and over, or wondered how your

confessions could be more fruitful,

you’ll love this book. It turns what many see as a

tiresome obligation into a precious longed-for

encounter with the Lord.”

MUSICIAN’S NOTES

L ast week I began writing about the psalms

that we are singing each week. I would like

to continue on that subject this week. I

used a term last week that many of you

probably never had heard before. That term was

Revised Grail Psalter. So, naturally you may be

wondering what is the “RGP”.

In the years leading up to Vatican II, when

the liturgy was still in Latin, moves were made to

include greater participation of the assembly at Mass.

Permission was granted to sing the psalms in

English. A French Jesuit priest Fr. Joseph Gelineau

prepared a French translation of the psalms. Then a

group of women in England formed an institute

called “The Grail” and translated Fr. Gelineau’s

work into English. The full version of all 150 psalms

(the number of psalms in the Book of Psalms) was

released in 1963. These “Grail” psalms were very

suited to choral singing.

As you know things never stay the same; they

are always changing. So, we had this “fine”

translation of the psalms that many composers from

the 1980’s on began setting these psalms to

contemporary melodies. Many of these comprise

what is found in the Psalter of our Gather hymnal.

Then, at the same time that the English speaking

bishops were working on the new translation of the

Roman Missal, it was decided that the Grail psalms

should be revised. This new revision was given the

recognitio (review and approval) by the Vatican in

2010. This made the Revised Grail Psalter the

official English Psalter

for the United States.

Thus these psalm texts

will be the ones used in

all future editions of

liturgical books

published in the United

States and in all other

English speaking

countries as well.

So, jumping

ahead to 2013-2014,

GIA Publications

released two volumes

of these revised psalms.

These are the psalms

from which I choose

each Sunday.

I hope this helps you understand a little better

about what the Revised Grail Psalter is, and how it

came to be what it is today.

In addition, I would like to say Happy Feast

Day to everyone as today we celebrate our patronal

feast of the Nativity of John the Baptist.

And, I would like to wish Pat Crowder a very

happy retirement.

Have a great week everyone!!

Lay Pastoral Ministry Program Classes begin in late August at the main campus in Mt.

Washington and St. Ignatius on Cincinnati’s west side.

We are currently interviewing potential students for

summer admission. The LPMP is sponsored by the

Archdiocese of Cincinnati and offers lay men and

women the opportunity to grow in faith, knowledge

and skills and to gain the confidence to become what

Pope Francis calls, “missionary disciples.” Evening

and Saturday classes in Scripture, Theology and

Pastoral Studies allow you to maintain job and family

commitments. Whether you are preparing for staff

level ministry in a parish, school or non-profit agency,

enhancing volunteer skills, seeking spiritual growth or

discerning a call to the permanent diaconate, the LPMP can help. Call 513-231-1200 for information or to set up a personal appointment.

One Faith, One Hope, One Love Building a Strong Diocese and Strong Parishes

T he archdiocese of Cincinnati began almost 200 years ago in 1821.

Our parish began almost 40 years later, in 1860. Over the decades

the archdiocese and the parish grew because of the sacrifices of

our forbearers and Catholics were able not only to build our net-

work of parishes, schools, hospitals, etc., but also to maintain and improve

them.

Sixty years ago, in 1955, under the leadership of Archbishop Alter, our arch-

diocese had a major diocesan-wide campaign. The goal of this campaign was

$12,000,000 (equivalent to $138,000,000 in today’s money ). The fruits of this

campaign are still in evidence today: the refurbishment of the cathedral and the

construction of LaSalle, McAuley, Badin, and Moeller High Schools, plus high

schools in Dayton and additions to other high schools and the seminary build-

ing.

After consultation with priests and laity, Archbishop Schnurr decided that

now was a time for us to have another diocesan-wide campaign in order to con-

tinue our strong heritage of supporting structures, services, and ministries to

meet the current and future needs of the Church. Therefore, we as an archdio-

cese are embarking upon a five-year, $130,000,000 campaign named One

Faith, One Hope, One Love. This campaign is designed to help address

needs in the following areas:

1) Catholic Education

2) Fostering Vocations

3) Caring for Retired Diocesan Priests

4) Catholic Charities

5) Local Parish Priorities

Every parish in the archdiocese has been assigned a fair-share goal for this cam-

paign. Every Catholic household will be asked to make a sacrificial gift to this

campaign. We are not all asked to make the same gift, but we are asked to make

the same sacrifice.

Our diocese began

in 1821. By 1850

the diocese had

grown because of

the immigration of

Irish and German

Catholics. It was

split into three

dioceses:

Columbus,

Cleveland, and

Cincinnati, which

became an

archdiocese.

The Cincinnati

Archdiocese is

known for its

generosity to

national

collections. For

example, in the 26

years of the

Collection for the

Retired Religious,

Cincinnati is

consistently one of

the top five

donors (although

we are in size the

38th diocese). We

average about

$800,000 a year

for that collection.


8

Our parish goal is $950,000. We are asked to try our best to meet this goal in

pledges form our parishioners payable over a five-year period. In addition,

20% of each parishioner’s gift will be returned to our parish for specific needs.

If we exceed our goal, 60% of the excess will come back to the parish.

Already, as of this writing, from just a few initial pledges, our

parish has raised $413,500 which is 43% of our campaign goal.

The active fundraising part for our campaign begins this weekend and takes

place over the next couple of months. In order to begin the organization of the campaign, I have

asked a few parishioners, under the chairmanship of Al Grote, to become involved in key cam-

paign leadership positions.

You will be hearing more about this important campaign in the coming days and weeks. For

now, I am asking that you do three things for this campaign:

1. Become involved as a volunteer when asked. We need to have as many parishioners as

possible involved for this campaign to be successful. Remember: many hands make

light work!

2. Listen to our volunteers when they speak with you about the campaign needs and ask

for your support for this important effort.

3. Please consider giving a sacrificial gift to this important campaign.
