--- Bishop's Appeal Update: the Chancery has sent a six month UPDATE of our Progress in the 2018 NISHOP'S APPEAL. Many thanks to all who have pledged to the project and fulfilled their pledge. If you would still like to make a pledge to the Appeal, please contact www.ordinariate.netfor information.
--The First Annual Golf Tournament last Friday was a "hole in one" for the participants and for our church as a whole! Nearly $6K was raised and we hope to have an even better participation next year. Thank you to co chairs Earl Lutz and Mike Luchi.
-- Congratulations and Welcome to Wendell Gee, baptized into Christ's One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church last Sunday
--OUR CHAPTER OF THE KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS (16042) is pleased to welcome some new candidates who are interested in exploring this important ministry.
If one or two more parishioners choose to become a Knight, our Council will move to "Star" Council Status, which is a very good thing for our relatively small church -- if you are not already a Knight, won't you consider joining? For more information, please see Father Stainbrook, or any Knight.
--NEW ORDINARIATE STUDY MISSAL NOW AVAILABLE
Many of our people from an Anglican background remember the hand sized editions of the "People's Anglican Missal" and the "Book of Common Prayer"
Those parishioners who were raised Catholic might recall the hand sized "St. Joseph's Sunday Missal" and the "St. Joseph's Daily Missal"
Now, by permission of the Holy See, our own Ordinariate "Divine Worship: The Missal" has now been published in a hand held sized "study edition"
Information on how to order one from the Catholic Truth Society is provided below. These Study Missals have been printed in a limited edition, so please order one soon to ensure your copy. (Please click on the link below)

--Help the Ordinariate thrive
Your participation is essential to the success of the Bishop’s Appeal! While regular gifts to your Parish are important, your annual gift to the Ordinariate is equally important. Please join other Catholics from throughout the Ordinariate in supporting this campaign, which will help the Ordinariate grow and thrive! Pick up a pledge card from the Parish today — gifts should be made payable to the Ordinariate — or visit ordinariate.net/bishops-appeal to give.
St. John Vianney's 2018 Goal is $7326, of which, the Chancery has informed us, $5600 has been pledged - if you have not yet sent in your pledge envelope, please consider doing so this week.
2018 BISHOP’S APPEAL BEGINS THIS WEEK
The 2018 Bishop’s Appeal will be launched THIS weekend, February 10-11. This is our opportunity as a congregation to unite with our Ordinariate family to support our shared mission of evangelization. In the coming week, please take the time to prayerfully reflect on the gifts that you have been given by God and respond to Bishop Lopes’ appeal as generously as you possibly can. Your participation is essential to the success of the Ordinariate. Please join other Catholics from throughout the Ordinariate in supporting this very import appeal next week
The 2018 Bishop’s Appeal goal for St. John Vianney is $7,235 (U.S. Dollars).

COFFEE TIME AT SJV after Mass
We are looking for some additional families to undertake this very important ministry of hospitality on Sunday mornings (Some wags have even called "Coffee Hour" the 8th Sacrament!) The more families who volunteer, the fewer Sundays each family must shoulder -- if you and your family can help, please see COFFEE HOUR COORDINATOR, EARL LUTZ after Mass.
St. John Vianney is offering TWO pledge Cards for 2018 A.D. - one for the Church's regular Operating Account (to pay salaries and bills, make purchases, etc) and this year, for the first time, a Pledge Card for our Building Fund.
Many parishioners filled out cards last week at Mass, but we ask that all our parishioners fill out a card for both accounts, and either place them in the offering plates or give them to our Treasurers, Neil Norman and Vivian Zamora.
Neil and Vivian will also have boxes of OFFERING ENVELOPES available for any who would like to use them (they will be available for the next two weeks).
It would be extremely helpful if everyone could write two separate checks for their pledges -- one for the Regular Pledge and one for the Building Fund Pledge. This will help our VOLUNTEER treasurers complete their paperwork much more quickly.
Your Parish Council has determined that keeping the congregation informed and knowledgeable about where we are financially to be one of their priorities. To that end, in addition to publicizing the weekly offering in the Sunday Bulletin, the Council will be setting up a display in the back of the church which will show where our congregation is each week towards making our financial goals.
The congregation of St. John Vianney, The larger Ordinariate and Bishop, Father Stainbrook, and your Parish Leadership thank all of you for your support!
SUMMER CAMP -Fall is here, but it’s time to plan for next summer's camp session!If you have a child who would like to attend the Pines Summer Camp and are requesting a Scholarship -- Please see Scholarship Committee Members Dennis Reger or Kathryn Baker.
For info about the PINES CATHOLIC SUMMER CAMP please see https://www.thepines.org/
--October 1st was a very special and significant day for St. John Vianney Catholic Church. After enjoying a delicious potluck lunch and parish meeting/rally day, we traveled in a caravan up the street to our new property, and blessed our new land for all time (Traversing the15 acres necessitated using a parishioner's pick up rather than the traditional procession!) Credit: Emma Shirley Photography
--LAND UPDATESeveral folks have been out to work and mow, some to simply enjoy a beautiful sunset, and some to take pride in our wonderful accomplishment of purchasing the land.
So what do we call it?
In Gone With the Wind the land was called "Tara". In the movie "Giant"' the land was called "Reata", After some discussion we have decided to call it "2825" The actual mailing address will be 2825 West FM 4 (Kilpatrick Street)
It is simple and easy to remember. This is a conversational title only. Not legal, not official, just an acronym for our church family to identify our accomplishment when we want to meet, work or visit.
Now that we have signed the papers and have made the first payment, Reality has hit.
A good analogy might be this: Remember when you were newly married living in an apartment on somewhat limited funds? Suddenly you found your family is growing, you are going to need more room for God's blessing of a baby.
Well, you find a house that is perfect for the three of you, but how in the world are you going to pay for it?
You take a leap of faith trusting in God that you made the right move.
You also realize that now you have to designate more of your income toward the new home because you might have another blessing along the way. Looking back, those were good times, WE MADE IT.
Our church family is growing. We must realize that each of us must designate more of our income toward our new home, because I am sure there will be more blessings for us along the way.
Faithfully,
Dale Williams, Parish Council President
--THE GATES OF OUR NEW HOME ARE OPEN-- IT'S TIME FOR US TO DO OUR PART!
No need to wait for St. John Vianney to conduct our "Official" Building Fund Campaign -- ANY time is a great time to contribute to the building fund!
Please write the words "Building Fund" in the memo section of your check. They will be separated from the offerings for our Operating Fund. Thank you very much!
On August 23rd Father Stainbrook signed the FIRST PAYMENT check for the land at 2825, F.M. 4 (Kilpatrick Street) (our new church home!) -- Please consider donating regularly to our BUILDING FUND to ensure prompt payments in the future!
--100 YEARS OF FATIMA CONFERENCE COMING TO OUR AREA!
CARDINAL BURKE IS AN INSPIRING SPEAKER AND WE ENCOURAGE AJV PARISHIONERS TO ATTEND THIS IMPORTANT CONFERENCE

A lovely day at SJV this morning -- Bishop Lopes and Fr. Charles IV visit before their flight to Australia!
THE SACRED HEART
After reading the article about the Sacred Heart in June issues of the SJV Weekly Email, several of our parishioners have decided to consecrate their families in a special way by enthroning the Sacred Heart of Jesus in their homes. If you would like to consecrate your home to the Sacred Heart, and want to plan an enthronement celebration, please see Father Stainbrook. (Photos are from the Enthronement Ceremony of the Sacred Heart of Jesus at the LoPalo's home last Sunday)
BOOK NOOK NEWS
This Fall, the Book Club will be reading THE LAST TESTAMENT: Benedict XVI in His Own Words, by Peter Seewald.
**Mark your calendars! Bishop Steven J. Lopes will lead an Ordinariate pilgrimage to the Holy Land, Oct. 2 to 12, 2018. All clergy and faithful are welcome to join, though space is limited to 100 participants. For more information, please contact the Chancery ASAP.
Confessions will be heard on Wednesdays at 5:30 - again, ALL welcome!One way we can show our thanks to His Excellency is by making a generous response to the 2017 Bishop's Appeal. Envelopes were provided at the Quinquagesima Pre Lent Parish Potluck last week, and will continue to be available in the coming weeks.In his letter to the faithful asking for their support of our shared mission, Bishop Steven J. Lopes explained the theme of this year’s campaign, “The Lord has done great deeds for us, indeed”:
“...God’s abundant generosity towards the Ordinariate invites us to deepen our commitment to draw others into the Eucharistic communion of the Church. We are called to be active participants in our shared mission of evangelization to our brothers and sisters who seek the fullness of faith, and to those within the Church whose faith has grown lukewarm.”
Our parish has a goal of $5835.00 for this year’s appeal. Can you help the Ordinariate meet the challenges we now face?
Please complete a pledge card on Sunday and mail it in the special envelope provided. (Gifts should be made payable to the Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter.) You may also visit ordinariate.net/bishops-appeal to make your donation.
Your generosity will allow our Ordinariate to grow and thrive! Thank you for your support!

DID YOU KNOW THAT ST. JOHN VIANNY HAS A NURSERY EVERY SUNDAY?
This service is offered so that our parents have the choice whether to have their children accompany them at mass, or enjoy a festive hour in the school gym with our professional nursery worker. Please ask the usher at mass where the gym is located if your family would like to take advantage of our nursery.
St. Augustine said that: "Singing is like Praying Twice"
Our SJV Choir needs more singers to be all that it can be!
New voices -- especially MALE voices are most urgently sought -- why not offer yours to our Choir and to God?
