CATECHETICAL SUNDAY
Today the Church celebrates Catechetical
Sunday on September 20, 2015. Those whom the community has designated to serve as catechists will be called forth to be commissioned for their ministry. Catechetical
Sunday is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the role that each person plays, by virtue of
Baptism, in handing on the faith and being a witness to the Gospel. Catechetical Sunday is an opportunity for all to rededicate themselves to this mission as a community of faith.

VOCATION DISCERNMENT GROUP
MEETING
A Vocation Discernment Group Meeting is a wonderful opportunity to share how God is calling us to serve in His Church. In these sessions we talk about the issues that affect our vocation: How does God call us? How can
I know where God wants me to serve Him?
What is the life of priestly ministry? What are the qualities that make a holy priest? What is the formation process like? Through prayer, experience, and a strong dedication to one’s spiritual life, discernment emerges as a gift from God, leading us in the right direction. You are invited to share your journey with us in these discernment group meetings. Our next meeting will be held on September 20, 2015, at
St. Pio of Pietrelcina, 103 Washington Avenue,

Troiano. The time will include prayer, sharing discernment stories, Q and A and a light meal.

(609) 406-7449.

World Meeting on Families

Junipero Serra was born of lowly people in the island of Majorca, and while he was yet a little child sang as chorister in the convent of San Bernardino. He was but sixteen when he entered the
Franciscan Order, and before he was eighteen he had taken the final vows. This was in the year
1730. His baptismal name, Michael Joseph, he laid aside on becoming a monk, and took the name of
Junipero, after that quaintest and drollest of all Saint Francis's first companions; him of whom the saint said jocosely, "Would that I had a whole forest of such Junipers!"
At last, in 1749, there assembled in Cadiz a great body of missionaries, destined chiefly for Mexico;
For nineteen years after their arrival in Mexico, Father Junipero and his three friends were kept at work there, under the control of the College of San Fernando, in founding missions and preaching.
On the suppression of the Jesuit Order, in 1767, and its consequent expulsion from all the Spanish dominions, it was decided to send a band of Franciscans to California, to take charge of the Jesuit missions there. These were all in Lower California, no attempt at settlement having been yet made in
Upper California. Serra was put in charge of it, and was appointed president of all the California missions. The history of the next fifteen years is a history of struggle, hardship, and heroic achievement. The indefatigable Serra was the mainspring and support of it all.
There seemed no limit to his endurance, no bound to his desires; nothing daunted his courage or chilled his faith. When, in the sixth year after the founding of the San Diego Mission, it was attacked by hostile Indians, one of the fathers being most cruelly murdered, and the buildings burned to the ground, Father Junipero exclaimed, "Thank God! The seed of the Gospel is now watered by the blood of a martyr; that mission is henceforth established;" and in a few months he was on the spot, with money and materials, ready for rebuilding; pressing sailors, neophytes, soldiers, into the service; working with his own hands, also, spite of the fears and protestations of all, and only desisting on positive orders from the military commander. He journeyed, frequently on foot, back and forth through the country, founding a new mission whenever, by his urgent letters to the College of San Fernando and to the Mexican viceroys, he had gathered Father Junipero's most insatiable passion was for baptizing Indians; the saving of one soul thus from death filled him with unspeakable joy.
When he preached he was carried out of himself by the fervor of his desire to impress his hearers.
Baring his breast, he would beat it violently with a stone, or burn the flesh with a lighted torch, to enhance the effect of his descriptions of the tortures of hell. There were nine of these missions, founded by Serra, before his death in 1784.
