JUNE 24, 2018

A Family Perspective

Just as the apostles in today's gospel were amazed at the power of Jesus so our children are amazed at our lack of fear of dark rooms or monsters in closets or under beds. As the apostles depended on Jesus, children depend on us to restore quiet to their lives. Getting out of bed at night

to quiet a child's fear is the stuff of holiness.

The Nativity of Saint John the Baptist

June 24, 2018

Tiny fingers and toes. A little yawn. A loud cry. An infant wrapped in swaddling clothes. "What will this child be?" It is a question every parent asks time and time again. As first steps are taken, as personalities

emerge, as a child shows interest in reading or drawing or climbing, the question is on our lips. "What will this child be?" This question is asked as John the Baptist is born. Will he be a priest like his father? Does his strange,

unexpected name signal a departure from that inheritance? Could Elizabeth and Zechariah ever have

predicted what would be? Under the tutelage of his priestly father, John "became strong in spirit." As an adult, John would retreat into the desert to preach repentance. He would attract a large following and eventually attract the attention of the

rulers of the day. He would point out the adulterous ways of King Herod and would find himself in prison.

Eventually, he would be beheaded. But today, he is a child, an infant newly born.

On this special feast, we're reminded of the great humility required of parents. The character formation, the discipline and encouragement, the violin lessons and soccer practices ? every parental effort is subjected to the decisions of the child themself. Even children on a sure track by high school graduation transform under life's circumstances. Entrusting our children to God can be incredibly intimidating. "What will this child be,"

especially when that transformation lies outside of my control? John the Baptist's story might not have ended as his parents imagined. But he is celebrated as the greatest of the prophets, as the one who prepared the way for the Messiah. Here is the hope of all Christian parents -- that our children would be raised in such a way that when

people meet them, they meet Jesus Christ.

Vocation Reflections Why are you so terrified? Why are you lacking in faith? If God is calling you, do not be afraid. If the wind and sea obey God's call….. shouldn't you? Do not be afraid to obey God's call to serve as a priest or religious. Call

Fr. Michael Casey, Director of Vocations, Archdiocesan Center at St. Thomas Seminary, Tel. 860-761-7456, email [email protected] or visit the web at www.hartfordpriest.com.

JUNE 24, 2018

Dear Parishioners,

Special Parish Meeting - Monday, July 9, 2018 at 7:00 pm

I am writing to inform you that Archbishop Blair has convoked

the Archdiocesan Synod by a decree of June 29, 2017, and it

will conclude on May 31, 2020 - the Feast of Pentecost. The

theme of the Synod is: STEWARDS FOR TOMORROW.

According to Canon Law: The Synod is an assembly of

selected Priests, Religious and lay faithful from the Diocese

which the Bishop calls together for the good of the Diocesan

Community, in order to assist him, in deliberating on the

pastoral needs of the diocese and discerning the guidance of

the Holy Spirit. (Canon 460)

We have begun the journey of the Synod. Therefore, we shall

pray specially for the success of the Synod. As a Parish we are

called to have a special assembly to voice our opinion. So all

are invited to take part responsibly in this assembly. More

details in the next bulletin. So, save the date and time.

Solemnity of the Nativity of John the Baptist, June 24th.

The Church recognizes the greatness of John the Baptist and

celebrates the solemnity on a Sunday. Christ Himself said that no one is greater than John the Baptist. We see the greatness of

John because he defended the law of God in front of King

Herod and stood for the Truth and he made no compromise. I

am not the Messiah (Jn:1.20) and his humility was shown when

he declared - I am not worthy to untie the thong of His sandal

(Jn:1.27) Truly John the Baptist is an example for the modern

man.

Pope's Day - June 29th

As we celebrate the solemnity of the Saints Peter and Paul on

June 29th, we also keep it as Pope's Day. It is a day to thank

God for our faith witnessed by Peter and Paul and to pray very

specially for Pope Francis.

God Bless you all.

Fr. Mathai Vellappallil, S.D.B.

Pastor
