Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time July 14, 2019
The Summer Sunday Mass Schedule for our Collaborative has begun. As you will recall, during the summer months we have Sunday 7:30am Masses at both parishes, and a 9:00am Mass at one parish and an 11:00am Mass at the other. This summer, the 9:00am Sunday Mass will be at St. Paul Church and the 11:00am Mass will be at St. John the Evangelist Church. Our Regular Sunday Mass schedule will resume after Labor Day on Sunday, September 8, 2019.
As always, parishioners are encouraged to attend the Masses within the collaborative that are most convenient. Envelopes and checks placed in the collection basket will be sent to your home parish.
WE OFFER OUR PRAYERS

ST. JOHN - ST. PAUL COLLABORATIVE
COLLABORATIVE NEWS
ST. JOHN-ST. PAUL
SOCIETY OF ST. VINCENT DE PAUL
In today's Gospel, when Jesus asks "which of these three, in your opinion, was neighbor to the robbers' victim?" the scholar of the law answered, "the one who treated him with mercy." Jesus then
said, "Go and do likewise." This week you can also "treat the poor with mercy" by putting a gift in the St. Vincent de Paul donation box. The SVDP donation boxes are located in the foyers of each church . Please help those in need.
The next meeting of the St. John - St. Paul Society of St. Vincent de Paul will be held on Thursday, July 18 at 6:45 pm at St. Paul Parish Hall.
All are welcome!
SUMMER EVENING

The book of Hebrews highlights both the supremacy and the approachability of our Lord Jesus Christ. Cost: Little Rock Scripture Study books and Commentary Guides will be available for purchase at our first evening for $17. Sessions: Thursdays, 7pm - July 11 through August 22 Location: St. John the Evangelist Parish, Powers Hall
DAUGHTERS OF ST. PAUL
BOOKSALE
The Daughters of St. Paul, with the Pauline Publishing in Jamaica Plain & the Pauline Book Center on Route 1 in Dedham, will be here at St. Paul’s July 20th & 21st and at St. John's July 27th and 28th.

LOTS: LIVES OF THE SAINTS
St. Martha Martha, born in the village of Bethany near Jerusalem during the first century and the sister to Mary and Lazarus, was the oldest of her siblings. She was a take-charge, by-the-book older sister accustomed to leading and running the household. One of the most famous stories from Scripture about her is in Luke, where Martha is busy hosting a gathering and rushing around the house serving Jesus and other guests. She said to Jesus, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me by myself to do the serving? Tell her to help me.” Jesus replied, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things. There is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part and it will not be taken from her.” In another story, upon learning that Jesus is arriving after hearing the news about Lazarus death, Martha is the first to run out to meet Jesus whereupon she says, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” Jesus responded, “Your brother will rise.” Over the years, Martha has come to be the example or model of the “activist” Christian, and Mary is the architype of contemplation. After Jesus died, Martha, along with Mary and Lazarus, moved to France and led a life of holiness and evangelization. Saint Martha’s feast day is July 29.

SUMMER BLAST WAS A BLAST!
Once school was released, our rising sixth graders (all 67 of
them!) joined the St. John St. Paul Collaborative staff to “blast
through” a curriculum of Old Testament stories, discussions
about respect, values, and morality. To make this event
enjoyable, college students and high school students created
games and fun for the kids. It was truly a Blast!
WERE YOU A PARISHIONER OF ST. JAMES THE
GREAT PARISH? As part of the upcoming dedication of the new Wellesley Sports Center at 900 Worcester Street, the Wellesley Board of Selectmen wants to pay a lasting tribute to St. James and its influence on the community. The Selectmen would like to invite all residents, and especially former St. James parishioners, to the dedication ceremony which is planned for July, where a permanent plaque recognizing the St. James parish legacy will be unveiled.

Our results are in, and thanks to the generosity of so many of our parishioners, St. John surpassed its budgeted goal for both its Weekly Offertory and its Annual Appeal for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019! This is an important testament to the importance of St. John to our parish members. We had a budgeted need of $479,000 for Weekly Offertory, and we have received $488,977, which is 102% of our budget. We had a budgeted need of $341,000 for our Annual Appeal, and we received $358,651, which is 105% of our budget. Even more significant, we increased our Weekly Offertory giving by 7% over fiscal year 2018 and increased our Annual Appeal giving by 3% over fiscal year 2018.
Thank You So Very Much!
