“After the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them out

two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was

about to go. He told them “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers

are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers

into his harvest field. Go! I am sending you out...” (Luke 10:1-3)

STILL TODAY…WE ARE SENT OUT JUST LIKE THE 72

As baptized and confirmed Catholics, we are empowered with the Holy

Spirit and are sent out to make disciples of every nation, much like

Fr. Kevin, Silvio Garcia, Mike McConnell, and Andrea Truckley who are

currently in Chimbote, Peru this week. However, we don’t have to

actually go to another country to do this. We can simply start small in

our own families, neighborhoods, and work places. Be bold and

deliberate in professing your faith to others around you with both words

and actions:

�� Pray confidently with others for their needs.

�� Bring hope and joy to everyone you encounter.

�� Talk about your faith and how Jesus loves us.

�� Speak encouragement and blessings on others.

�� Control your own tongue and speak positively.

�� Be a good example of a Catholic Christian.

Jesus also gave each of us the same power to overcome evil in His

name as the original 72. Today, He is STILL calling for each of us to go

out into our own harvest fields as His workers. GO!

OPV FAMILY FESTIVAL (JULY 10—13)

Whew...It is hard to believe that our 1st Annual OPV Family Festival is

THIS WEEK after many months of planning and preparation by a

fabulous Festival Committee made up of members from each parish! It

has been a great opportunity to make many new friends as we come

together as leaders in a much larger parish community. The teamwork,

camaraderie, and new ideas have been refreshing as we work to forge

our new OPV identity. The vast harvest field of Oakmont, Plum, and

Verona will be coming to us this week to visit our family festival. What a

great opportunity to answer our call as we meet many new faces and

grow together as one parish community.

We are STILL in need of more workers for the harvest (festival). Please

consider signing up to volunteer on any of the nights in the available

slots for food, games, grounds, tickets, parking, or information booths.

Don’t forget about the set-up & clean-up needs either. Each volunteer

will get a free T-Shirt and will earn a $50 credit to their parish for each

night worked.

How about dedicating one night to work with your family and another

night to come and just enjoy the great food, entertainment, and fun! Or

better yet, how about working as many nights as you can? The OPV

Festival wants and needs you!

For coordination and tracking purposes, it is essential for ALL

volunteers to register, log-in, and select your areas of interest at the link

below:

https://opvcatholic.org/opv-family-festival-2019

It’s easy and ONLY takes a few minutes to register. You will then get a

reminder text on the days that you sign up for. You may also call any of

the parish offices and they will get you registered.

SOME FESTIVAL HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:

�� Grand Raffle with over $18,000 in prizes

�� Carnival rides & interactive games

�� Great food & homemade dinners each night

�� Nightly entertainment & DJ

�� Huge basket auction

�� Wine and beer

�� KiddieLand for the little tots

Please come and help make our 1st OPV Festival a huge success, but

more importantly may it be a time for fellowship and for making new

friendships. Please join us as we come together as the Catholic

Parishes of Oakmont, Plum & Verona. Please pray for excellent

weather.

WE HOPE TO SEE YOU AT THE FESTIVAL!!!

Into whatever house you enter, first say, 'Peace to this household.'

If a peaceful person lives there, your peace will rest on him;

but if not, it will return to you. Stay in the same house and eat and drink

what is offered to you, for the laborer deserves his payment.

Do not move about from one house to another.

Whatever town you enter and they welcome you, eat what is set before

you, cure the sick in it and say to them, 'The kingdom of God is at hand

for you.' Whatever town you enter and they do not receive you, go out

into the streets and say, 'The dust of your town that clings to our feet,

even that we shake off against you.' Yet know this: the kingdom of God

is at hand. I tell you,it will be more tolerable for Sodom on that day than

for that town."

The seventy-two returned rejoicing, and said, "Lord, even the demons

are subject to us because of your name."

Jesus said, "I have observed Satan fall like lightning from the sky.

Behold, I have given you the power to 'tread upon serpents' and

scorpions and upon the full force of the enemy and nothing will harm

you. Nevertheless, do not rejoice because the spirits are subject to

you, but rejoice because your names are written in heaven."

READING I IS 66:10�14C �

Thus says the LORD:

Rejoice with Jerusalem and be glad because of her, all you who love

her; exult, exult with her, all you who were mourning over her!

Oh, that you may suck fully of the milk of her comfort, that you may

nurse with delight at her abundant breasts!

For thus says the LORD: Lo, I will spread prosperity over Jerusalem like

a river, and the wealth of the nations like an overflowing torrent.

As nurslings, you shall be carried in her arms, and fondled in her lap;

as a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you;

in Jerusalem you shall find your comfort.

When you see this, your heart shall rejoice and your bodies flourish like

the grass; the LORD's power shall be known to his servants.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM PS 66:1�3, 4�5, 6�7, 16, 20 �

R. (1) Let all the earth cry out to God with joy.

Shout joyfully to God, all the earth, sing praise to the glory of his name;

proclaim his glorious praise.

Say to God, "How tremendous are your deeds!"

R. Let all the earth cry out to God with joy.

"Let all on earth worship and sing praise to you, sing praise to your

name!"

Come and see the works of God, his tremendous deeds among the

children of Adam.

R. Let all the earth cry out to God with joy.

He has changed the sea into dry land; through the river they passed on

foot; therefore let us rejoice in him.

He rules by his might forever.

R. Let all the earth cry out to God with joy.

Hear now, all you who fear God, while I declare what he has done for me.

Blessed be God who refused me not my prayer or his kindness!

R. Let all the earth cry out to God with joy.

READING 2 GAL 6:14�18 �

Brothers and sisters:

May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ,

through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

For neither does circumcision mean anything, nor does uncircumcision,

but only a new creation.

Peace and mercy be to all who follow this rule and to the Israel of God.

From now on, let no one make troubles for me; for I bear the marks of

Jesus on my body.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers and

sisters. Amen.

ALLELUIA COL 3:15A, 16A �

R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Let the peace of Christ control your hearts;

let the word of Christ dwell in you richly.

R. Alleluia, alleluia.

GOSPEL LK 10:1-12, 17-20

At that time the Lord appointed seventy-two others whom he sent ahead

of him in pairs to every town and place he intended to visit.

He said to them, "The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few;

so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest.

Go on your way; behold, I am sending you like lambs among wolves.

Carry no money bag, no sack, no sandals; and greet no one along the

way.

SCRIPTURE READINGS FOR THE FOURTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

GRATUIDAD Y EDUCACIÓN EN LA FE (Segunda parte).

El santo Bautismo es el fundamento de toda la vida cristiana, el pórtico de la vida

en el espíritu («vitae spiritualis ianua») y la puerta que abre el acceso a los otros

sacramentos. Por el Bautismo somos liberados del pecado y regenerados como

hijos de Dios, llegamos a ser miembros de Cristo y somos incorporados a la

Iglesia y hechos partícipes de su misión. La pura gratuidad de la gracia de la

salvación se manifiesta particularmente en el bautismo de niños. Por tanto, la

Iglesia y los padres privarían al niño de la gracia inestimable de ser hijo de Dios si

no le administraran el Bautismo poco después de su nacimiento. Los padres

cristianos deben reconocer que esta práctica corresponde también a su misión de

alimentar la vida que Dios les ha confiado.

Los padres a través de la educación cristiana ayudan a que los propios hijos se

hagan más conscientes cada día del don recibido de la fe, mientras se inician

gradualmente en el conocimiento del misterio de la salvación, se forman para vivir

según el hombre nuevo en justicia y santidad de verdad y contribuyen al

crecimiento del Cuerpo místico. La misión de la educación exige que los padres

cristianos propongan a los hijos todos los contenidos que son necesarios para la

maduración gradual de su personalidad desde un punto de vista cristiano y

eclesial. La misión educativa comporta que la familia transmita e irradie el

Evangelio, hasta el punto de que la misma vida de familia se hace itinerario de fe

y, en cierto modo, iniciación cristiana y escuela de los seguidores de Cristo. En la

familia todos los miembros evangelizan y son evangelizados.

EVANGELIZACIÓN EN LA FAMILIA

En virtud del ministerio de la educación los padres, mediante el testimonio de su

vida, son los primeros mensajeros del Evangelio ante los hijos. Es más, rezando

con los hijos, dedicándose con ellos a la lectura de la Palabra de Dios e

introduciéndolos en la intimidad del Cuerpo de Cristo mediante la iniciación

cristiana, llegan a ser más plenamente padres. Por tanto uno de los campos en

los que la familia es insustituible es ciertamente el de la educación religiosa,

gracias a la cual la familia crece como "iglesia doméstica". La educación religiosa

y la catequesis de los hijos sitúan a la familia en el ámbito de la Iglesia como un

verdadero sujeto de evangelización y de apostolado. Se trata de un derecho

relacionado íntimamente con el principio de la libertad religiosa.

AYUDA DE OTRAS INSTITUCIONES

Las familias, y más concretamente los padres, tienen la libre facultad de escoger

para sus hijos un determinado modelo de educación religiosa y moral, de acuerdo

con las propias convicciones. Pero incluso cuando confían estos cometidos a

instituciones eclesiásticas o a escuelas dirigidas por personal religioso, es

necesario que su presencia educativa siga siendo constante y activa.

Se subraya la exigencia de una particular solidaridad entre las familias, que

puede expresarse mediante diversas formas organizativas como las asociaciones

de familias para las familias. Es importante que las familias traten de construir

entre ellas lazos de solidaridad. Esto, sobre todo, les permite prestarse

mutuamente un servicio educativo común: los padres son educados por medio de

otros padres, los hijos por medio de otros hijos. Se crea así una peculiar tradición

educativa, que encuentra su fuerza en el carácter de la familia "iglesia

doméstica".

OPV CATHOLIC FINANCIAL REPORT

NEW COMMUNION PATTERNS,

LOW GLUTEN HOSTS & LECTOR/EMOHC GUIDELINES

Please note that starting July 1, 2019 some of our churches will have slightly

different patterns for Holy Communion, namely, STI & OLOJ. Multiple Communion

stations that served a single line of communicants have been eliminated and placed

differently.

We welcome any Catholic who is gluten intolerant to receive special hosts at

Mass. Anyone wanting to receive a low gluten host (very low gluten) is welcome to

learn how to receive in each church by contacting the priest or sacristan. He/she

would simply find their hosts in the sacristy before Mass in the mini-refrigerator and place in a pyx and set

on the tray or the altar so that they are consecrated by the priest during Mass. The priest or another

minister who stands where the priest usually stands will then distribute them when coming forward for Holy

Communion.

All lectors and Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion have been updated on guidelines so that there is

a similar expectation in each of our five parishes. This will make it easier for them to serve in different

parishes in our grouping either as substitutes when needed or to transfer occasionally because they prefer

a Mass time that is no longer at their home church.

Thanks to all those who provided constructive

feedback on the Mass time proposals. The third

option was presented last week as:

Sat Sun

STI 4p 11a (with Religious Education

classes between 9:30-11:00)

JAN 11a

SJB 4p 9a, 11:30a, 6p

(with Religious Education

classes 10:00a)

SJV 5:30p 8:30a

OLOJ 6p 8a, 10a

Parishioners were invited to provide feedback

on this third option. About 35 parishioners sub-

mitted feedback. Here is a summary:

1. Majority of the responses were pleased

with the new option 3.

2. Some were disappointed that the earliest

Mass in our grouping is getting even later at 8a

at OLOJ now.

3. Some were disappointed that the latest

Mass in our grouping is no longer Noon, but

11:30a at SJB now.

St. Januarius parishioner feedback was mixed:

some liked it, some didn’t. One person noted

that those wanting to have children in Sunday

morning CCD could attend the program at STI

and get to SJAN for Mass still.

At this point, we have received enough

feedback and discussion. Hopefully everyone

has become very aware that this is a difficult

process taking into consideration people’s

preferences, clergy ability, size of buildings and

RE programs. All feedback has been read by

multiple parish council members. The parish

councils will be in communication with the

clergy and leadership team and consider the

latest feedback and submit a request to the

Regional Vicar to approve a new schedule

likely beginning August 17 & 18, 2019. As soon

as the schedule is finalized, submitted and

approved, it will be communicated at Masses

and in the bulletin.

Rite of Christian Initiation

Have questions about Jesus Christ or the Catholic

Church? You have come to the right place! The Rite of

Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is here to answer

your questions about the Catholic faith. If you are not

baptized, baptized in another Christian tradition or a

Catholic who has not received the Sacrament of Confir-

mation, we would love to hear from you so that we may

answer your questions. There is no commitment other

than to let us know how we can help. Please contact

Ronald Donatelli at [email protected] or call

412-793-4511. We ask our OPV parishioners to help

letting those with questions know about RCIA.

Do you like working with children? Are you looking for a

way to grow deeper in your own faith? The OPV CCD

program is looking for Catechists, subs. and Security Help

at the St. Irenaeus and St. John the Baptist sites. Our new

program will even provide Catechists pre-written lessons to

help get started in teaching, if hesitant about where to even

begin. We are looking for Catechists in grades K through

8. If you are interested or have any questions, please

contact Steph Williams or John Cupps by emailing

[email protected] or calling the St. Irenaeus or St.

John the Baptist Parish Offices.

In Our Grouping and Around the Diocese...

PARISH OFFICE NEWS – NEW OFFICE HOURS

On July 1, 2019, there will be several office changes as we shift to a

staff that covers all five parishes.

�� Our Lady of Joy will be the main office. Over the next few weeks,

all phone calls to any of our parish offices will be directed there and we

will have one published number for our grouping: 412-793-4511.

�� St. John the Baptist office will also be open and that office will

address bulletin and funeral plans for the grouping.

�� For now, St. Joseph office will also be open.

�� St. Januarius office is only used by the Communications and

Technology Manager, Young Adult Minister, and occasional

meetings and is not open for parish business. The Church, hall

and pavilion remain open for Mass, meetings, or rentals.

�� St. Irenaeus office currently is only used for the Faith Formation

Program and is not open for parish business. But we may have

some parish business functionality at a later date. The Preschool

will open in August.

All parishioners from any parish are welcome to any parish

office. All three offices will be open the same weekday hours:

Monday – Thursday: 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Friday: 8 a.m. to Noon

Sunday morning SJB ONLY (Times to be determined

when Mass schedules finalized)

Mass Intentions

Mass Intentions can be scheduled at any parish office, but will all be

coordinated by St. Joseph Parish Office. The recommended stipend

donation is still $10. Therefore all $10 donations/stipends will be sent to

St. Joseph and checks must be made payable to St. Joseph

Parish. Note that this is a separate checking account that has Mass

stipends ONLY and all parishes will now be using this one

account. When Masses are offered, the stipend will be issued to the

appropriate priest celebrating the Mass.

Transition & Mistakes

These office and staff changes are significant. Thanks to all

parishioners for their understanding, patience and forgiveness-

in-advance for anything that might get missed or confused in the

changes. Soon, we will be better prepared to serve our entire grouping

together.

Questions or for additional information, contact Dave Hall,

Business Manager at [email protected] .

A LETTER FROM THE BISHOP:

July 1, 2019

All the diocesan priests received a letter from Bishop David Zubik regarding The Church Healing Commission

appointment in the Diocese. This information can be found in this weekend’s Pittsburgh Catholic and also on

the Diocesan website https://diopitt.org/. In the coming months they will continue to fulfill the promises

outlined in The Church Healing and the Commission will begin its important work of monitoring the progress

of our action plan.

Bishop Zubic also asks us to celebrate with joy the ordination of four new priests last Saturday.

They are a witness to hope of God’s grace continually at work in our local Church!
