ST. JOHN CATHOLIC SCHOOL South Garand St., Winslow 872-7115

www.stjohnschoolwinslow.org

St. John is a great school that offers families an opportunity to partner with the school in educating their child. We develop a team approach and work side by side to teach children the importance of education, values, and sharing their gifts with others.

The middle school students shared their thoughts about St. John Catholic School: • There are many advantages of being a part of a small

school community. All the teachers know you and are all understanding, kind and helpful. Everyone is treated like family. The students understand that teachers have expectations that encourage them to work at their full potential.

• As students we handle responsibility, which means more learning can take place and more time for sharing information with each other.

• The successes of alumni students of St. John is something we are aware of.

• We are able to build and foster a positive self -esteem through the support and encouragement from the staff. They encourage our dreams. They support our faith and help it grow. They help to keep students in line with our goals. We know the staff is always there for us.

• We are getting a great education.

We are accepting registration for Preschool/Pre-K and Grades K-8. Tours are available. Please call the school at 872-7115 for more information. We are excited and look forward to the new school year.

Act of Faith

O my God, I firmly believe that You are one God in three divine Persons, Father, Son, and Holy spirit. I believe that Your divine Son became man, died for our sins, and that He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe these and all the truths which the Holy Catholic Church teaches, because You have revealed them, who can neither deceive nor be deceived.

Act of Hope

O my God, relying on Your almighty power and infinite mercy and promises, I hope to obtain pardon of my sins, the help of Your grace, and life everlasting through the merits of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Redeemer.

Act of Love

O my God, I love You above all things, with my whole heart and soul, because You are all good and worthy of all love. I love my neighbor as myself for the love of You. I forgive all who have injured me, and ask pardon of all whom I have injured.

Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

COMING ATTRACTIONS Today’s Gospel inaugurates a five‑week departure from the Gospel of Mark into the Gospel of John. The account of the feeding of the multitude is the introduction to what is known as the “Bread of Life” discourse, which we will hear during the coming month. We can get so carried away with the stupendous miracle recounted today that it’s easy to overlook how artfully the evangelist John introduces the discourse. Like the people of Israel and Moses, Jesus passes through the waters and then ascends a mountain. The ascent of the mountain (as in Matthew’s introduction to the discourse we know as the “Beatitudes”) is particularly important. It is the trumpet blast announcing that something tremendous is about to happen; something central and crucial to the ministry of Jesus is about to be handed on. Unlike Moses on Sinai, the mountains that Jesus ascends to teach and work wonders are never named in the Gospels, for it was important to the early church not to sacralize places, but to keep their faith in Jesus alone. And so it is that the crowds come to him today looking for physical healing and for the nourishment of their spirits and bodies.

BREAD OF EARTH AND HEAVEN Jesus knew, as the evangelist shows in the account this week, that there is not much point in speaking to people about the Bread of Heaven when their stomachs are grumbling for the bread of earth. For Jesus there was none of the Greeks’ separation of the human person into body and spirit, each entity with its different needs. He knew people were created in love, flesh and soul, by his Father in heaven. Once again, the ministry of Jesus signals for us the intimate connection of the church’s ministry to people as both embodied and spiritual beings. Feeding the multitude is a pragmatic way to help his listeners focus on the teaching of his presence as the new manna sent from heaven. And for us today, that manna, the Bread

of Life, becomes our strength and sustenance, so we are fortified to go forth in the name of Christ, to be nourishment for the bodies and spirits of all those we encounter each day. Copyright © 2005, World Library Publications. All rights reserved.

Resisting Happiness by Matthew Kelly

We don’t need lots of things to make us happy. If we try each day to do our best at whatever we need to do, we will grow in virtue. Our work can become grace as we go through our day with God in our heart. God wants us to be happy, and he wants us to be a better person today than we were yesterday. This is a lifetime journey which begins with a first step. Take it...

FAITH FILLED LEADERS - Totus Tuus draws upon the energy and dedication of Catholic college students and seminarians from Maine to witness to our faith. The team dedicates two weeks to intensive training and prayer at the beginning of the summer before travelling throughout the diocese to lead Totus Tuus at six different parish locations.
