Corpus Christi
One word is found in each of today’s Scripture readings: Covenant. To ancient Hebrews a covenant was a sacred and
forever binding oath. It was a treaty or agreement (contract) between two unequal parties (e.g. between kings and
subject nobles), freely entered into, binding forever throughout all generations and sealed in blood. See Genesis 15.
Animals were cut into two, placed on the ground, and the parties of the treaty walked between the halves of the animals.
The sign was striking: it meant that if I do not keep my word may I be sliced in two as these animals have been.

The very first covenant in the Bible was between God and Abraham. In our first reading Moses strikes a covenant with
God: half the blood is sprinkled on the people and half is splashed on the altar (between the Israelites and God).
Jesus mediated a new covenant. Terms of the covenant: “You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a
people set apart.” (1 Peter 2:9) Actually, our covenant is made between Jesus and our heavenly Father and we enter
this covenant by our baptism when we are incorporated into Christ.
The blood is the sacrificial blood of Jesus on the cross, pre-enacted in the last Supper and in each and every Mass.
We renew the covenant and Jesus renews and ratifies the covenant in our behalf at Mass.
Make the words of Mass your own. This is my body – this is my commitment to be the person you want me to be.
This is my blood – I will be faithfully loyal even if it means my blood. All that the Lord has said I will heed and do.

PASTOR´S MESSAGE
JOURNEY FORWARD DISCERNMENT & STRATEGIC PLAN UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED
On May 24, at a general meeting of the Journey Forward Leadership Team, unanimous approval was given by the Team for the Saint Joan of Arc
Church, four year Strategic Plan. In my capacity as your Pastor, I accepted this unanimous approval of the Plan. It is now our blueprint for the future.
This final step of the planning phase was the outcome of a year of concentrated work that included electronic surveys, Visioning and Initiative Writing
parishioner assemblies, multifaceted research on the Boca Raton community, analyzing, editing, goal writing and initiative writing. More than one
thousand parishioners were involved in one or another stage or task of the planning process. It is fair to say that this process has produced a truly
collaborative and consultative plan that expresses the identity, vision, values and creativity of our parish.
This will be the first in a series of reports to the parish on the status of Journey Forward. In future bulletins, I will address the implementation strategies
and the timetable for implementation. Please take some time to read and reflect upon our parish Mission Statement, Vision Statement, Core Values
Statement and the Six Goals of the Journey Forward Plan.
The future implementation of our Plan will require the collaboration of many parishioners with the Six Goal Champion Teams. We will have to prioritize,
choose strategies and recruit additional volunteers. If you have ever wondered "How can I be more involved in my parish?" the time is now and the
place is Journey Forward. Please consider your role in working with Ministry Leaders, parish staff and many of your fellow parishioners to create a
future that will be energized by the Holy Spirit and responsive to God's will. Emails indicating interest in volunteering should be sent to:

Help Thy Brother!
Whew! Already there’s talk of a long hot and stormy summer.
But, you should have been around a couple of centuries ago.
Our Monk outfits were heavy and we had no AC. But we did
the best we could with our talents: mending Monastery walls,
baking bread and making soup for the poor and hungry,
sheltering the homeless. This summer, the St. Joan of Arc
faithful can use their talents to help others. For example,
volunteer to pick up groceries for the homebound. Help the
aged with hurricane preparations.
See if a senior neighbor’s AC is
Be
d
working properly. Do some yard

Prepar
work for the disabled. Donate a
few dollars to our Care Ministry
for those who can’t afford water
and electric bills. Our talents are
gifts from the Lord. Use them in
Brotherly and Sisterly Love.
And as the kids say, “That would
be sooooo Cool.”
God Bless!

FORTNIGHT FOR FREEDOM PLANNED
The United States Conference
of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has called for a "Fortnight for Freedom" that begins on June 21, the vigil of the Feasts of St. Thomas More and St. John
Fisher, and ends with Independence Day. This two-week period is meant to be
a special time of prayer, study and catechesis. The Fortnight for Freedom will be a
great hymn of prayer for our country and
will emphasize both our Christian and American heritage of liberty.
Like dioceses around the country, the Diocese of Palm Beach will have special
Masses and events in our parishes to highlight the importance of defending our
first freedom. The "Fortnight for Freedom" schedule and information will be distributed to parishes, in The Florida Catholic and on the diocesan website at
www.diocesepb.org Information will be added to our "Fortnight for Freedom"
page as it becomes available. Listed right now on that page is information on
national Masses - one of which will be televised by EWTN.
The U.S. Bishops have designated the period from June 21st through July 4th
as a Fortnight For Freedom. During this special period of prayer we are asked
to reflect upon the religious liberty we enjoy in our nation as well as the current
threats to it. We are encouraged to participate in this fortnight:
By attending daily Mass, Praying the Rosary, Attending Eucharistic Adoration,
Fasting and Penance, Study & meditation, and daily reflections found at
www.diocesepb.org and www.usccb.org.
THE CHURCH’S ROLE IN POLITICAL LIFE
Christians believe that Jesus’ commandment to love one’s neighbor
extends beyond individual relationships to all human relations, from the
family to the entire community. Jesus brings “good news to the poor,
to proclaim liberty to captives, new sight to the blind, and to set the
downtrodden free” (Luke 4:18). His example and words invite individual
acts of charity from each of us. They also encourage understanding and
action on a broader scale, one that necessarily involves the institutions
and structures of society, the economy and politics.
“The Church is duty-bound to offer, through the purification of
reason and through ethical formation, her own specific
contribution towards understanding the requirements of justice
and achieving them politically.”
(POPE BENEDICT XVI, DEUS CARITAS EST, 28A)
There is often confusion and controversy over the meaning of the
separation of church and state and the participation of religious groups
in political life. Some seek to exclude religious views from public
discourse, even labeling them as a threat to equality and liberty.
However, genuine religious expression guarantees authentic freedom,
nurturing a mutual respect among the members of our society. It is the
responsibility of the state to build a just society for its people. The
Church, however, plays a role in the promotion and attainment of
justice and protection of the common good.
Our Church will celebrate a special
Holy Hour for Religious Freedom in Church
(Rosary, Readings, Homily, Psalms, Benediction,
Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament)
Tuesday, June 26
7:00pm - 8:00pm
All of our parishioners and friends are invited to participate
in this Holy Hour.
Please mark your calendars
The Church engages in politics and public policy issues in a nonpartisan
manner. It is true that IRS regulations require this, but more
importantly, no party, or for that matter, no legislator, will always
fully agree with the Church and the principles it espouses. It is
counterproductive for the Church to be or even appear to be partisan
given the many issues of life and dignity for which it must advocate.
If the Church were aligned to one party, it would be unable to speak to
the society as a whole. The Church offers a consistent set of principles,
and we must be able to profess them to all.
This kind of participation does not involve religious tests for candidates,
or telling people for whom they should or should not vote. Rather, the
Church joins the public debate to share its experience in serving the
powerless and to lift up the moral dimensions of public issues. By
advocating its social doctrine through education and rational argument,
the Church seeks to properly form the consciences of both those
actively involved in political life and the electorate.

PLANNED AND ANNUAL GIFTS GIVING WORKSHOP
As part of our Journey Forward Strategy to “Grow our Resources”
we invite parishioner financial professionals to volunteer their specific
expertise in estate planning, taxation, wills, trusts, annuities, and
bequests. The purpose is to educate interested parishioners on what
steps or options to take in providing for their families, charitable
organizations, and their spiritual family here at St Joan.
The first meeting to plan the Financial Planners Work-Shop will be on
August 14th at 6 p.m. The objective will be to plan an agenda and
format for an open question and answers meeting for parishioners on
Oct. 17 at 9 am in the Mercy Center and another at a later date,
6 ST. JOAN OF ARC JUNE 10
preferably in early December before the end of the tax year. Many
of our younger families as well as older parishioners have shown
interest in the steps to financial planning before committing to a
specific vehicle or consultant. Our group of SJA volunteer
professionals will guide them through the process and benefits of
planned and annual gift giving. Information given is strictly
educational, non-binding, and Free to all parishioners.

SAINT OF THE DAY
ST. ANTHONY OF PADUA
Doctor of the Church (Feastday: June 13, 1195 - 1231)
Saint Anthony was canonized (declared a saint) less than one year after his death.
There is perhaps no more loved and admired saint in the Catholic Church than Saint Anthony of
Padua, a Doctor of the Church. Though his work was in Italy, he was born in Portugal. He first joined
the Augustinian Order and then left it and joined the Franciscan Order in 1221, when he was 26
years old. The reason he became a Franciscan was because of the death of the five Franciscan
protomartyrs -- St. Bernard, St. Peter, St. Otho, St. Accursius, and St. Adjutus -- who shed their blood
for the Catholic Faith in the year 1220, in Morocco, in North Africa, and whose headless and
mutilated bodies had been brought to St. Anthony’s monastery on their way back for burial.
St. Anthony became a Franciscan in the hope of shedding his own blood and becoming a martyr.
He lived only ten years after joining the Franciscan Order.
So simple and resounding was his teaching of the Catholic Faith, so that the most unlettered and
innocent might understand it, that he was made a Doctor of the Church by Pope Pius XII in 1946.
Saint Anthony was only 36 years old when he died. He is called the “hammer of the Heretics”
His great protection against their lies and deceits in the matter of Christian doctrine was to utter,
simply and innocently, the Holy Name of Mary. When St. Anthony of Padua found he was preaching
the true Gospel of the Catholic Church to heretics who would not listen to him, he then went out and
preached it to the fishes. This was not, as liberals and naturalists are trying to say, for the instruction
of the fishes, but rather for the glory of God, the delight of the angels, and the easing of his own
heart. St. Anthony wanted to profess the Catholic Faith with his mind and his heart, at every
moment. He is typically depicted with a book and the Infant Child Jesus, to whom He miraculously
appeared, and is commonly referred to today as the "finder of lost articles." Upon exhumation, some
336 years after his death, his body was found to be corrupted, yet his tongue was totally incorrupt,
so perfect were the teachings that had been formed upon it.

PRAYER FOR
PROTECTION FROM STORMS
God our Father, Creator of the
Universe and Lord over all creation,
we humbly stand before You as Your
children and ask that You keep us
safe from all hurricanes which may
threaten us.
Protect us from all fear and anxiety
of storms and give us an ardent trust
and hope in Your love and mercy.
You alone have the power to
command the sea, the wind and
the rain. You alone bring peace, calm
and safety.
Father, we thank You in advance,
for You are our only refuge.
We ask this through Christ Your Son, who lives, and reigns with You
and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
Mary, Queen of the Apostles and Star of the Sea, Patroness of our
Diocese, pray for us. Amen
8 ST. JOAN OF ARC JUNE 10
Prayer for Religious Liberty
O GOD OUR CREATOR,
from your provident hand we have received
our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
You have called us as your people and given us
the right and the duty to worship you, the only true God,
and your Son, Jesus Christ.
Through the power and working of your Holy Spirit,
you call us to live out our faith in the midst of the world,
bringing the light and the saving truth of the Gospel
to every corner of society.
We ask you to bless us
in our vigilance for the gift of religious liberty.
Give us the strength of mind and heart
to readily defend our freedoms when they are threatened;
give us courage in making our voices heard
on behalf of the rights of your Church
and the freedom of conscience of all people of faith.
Grant, we pray, O heavenly Father,
a clear and united voice to all your sons and daughters
gathered in your Church
in this decisive hour in the history of our nation,
so that, with every trial withstood
and every danger overcome—
for the sake of our children, our grandchildren,
and all who come after us—
this great land will always be “one nation, under God,
indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
DOES SJA HAVE SOCCER “SPIRIT?”
ARE YOU KIDDING?
WE’RE KICKIN’ IT!!
Mens Sana in Corpore Sano -- a Latin phrase which when translated
means “a sound mind in a healthy body.” Father Tomasz Bochnak would
like to paraphrase that slightly for our purposes here at SJA, encouraging
us to think of it as “An active spirit inside an active body.”
This is precisely why Father Tomasz started the “Sharks” soccer team
here at SJA which will be playing every Tuesday evening at 7:00 p.m.
adjacent to the Sports Arena. Father Tomasz stated “SJA is one of the
most active parishes in the Diocese with the number of ministries that
exist on a spiritual level. Not only are we a spiritual parish, but we are
also highly social. Why not have a way for us to become physically active
through a sport (such as soccer) and bring people together at the same
time?” Presently, the team is looking for players of ALL AGES. “If you
can run and kick a ball on the field -- that is what we are looking for right
now. Once we get enough players, then we can start dividing up ages,
playing abilities, and positions.” Excited by this new concept, Father
Tomasz exclaims, “Try something else, try something new; this way you
can never say that you didn’t give it a try.”
ST. JOAN
C A T H O L I C
Our spirituality as a parish will be exhibited through a prayer at the beginning and end of a match. “Even if you are not into playing the actual
sport, we will need your support, motivation and CHEERING! We are a
community coming out to support one another and this is a good way to
do it.” So come on out and support the team Tuesday evenings at 7:00
p.m. next to the Sports Arena. St Joan of Arc might have been a crusader
on the battlefield, but we’re the “Kickin’ Crusaders” on the home field!
So tell us…. Are you in?

“PRAYERS FOR RELIGIOUS LIBERTY” NOW PART
OF A NATIONWIDE PRAYER CAMPAIGN
The Administrative Committee for the United States Conference of Catholic
Bishops (USCCB) is calling for a nationwide prayer campaign for the protection
of religious freedom and conscience rights. To support this effort, the USCCB
has developed prayers sources in both English and Spanish. These can be found
on the diocesan website at www.diocesepb.org. Look on the center of the
home page for the “Religious Freedom and Conscience Protection” image.
Click on that image for the prayers and the latest information related to the
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) healthcare mandate
that virtually all private health care plans must cover sterilization, abortifacients, and contraception.This section also provides other helpful links and
provides information that can help you gain a better understanding of this
threat to religious freedom. For the latest information, please continue to visit
this page plus the “Bishop’s Statements” section at www.diocesepb.org
SPECIAL NATIONAL MASSES TO BE HELD
FOR “FORTNIGHT FOR FREEDOM”
A Mass to open the Fortnight for Freedom will be offered on Thursday,
June 21 at 7 p.m. at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Assumption of
the Blessed Virgin Mary in Baltimore, Maryland, celebrated by Archbishop
William E. Lori of the Archdiocese of Baltimore. Similarly, a Mass to close the
Fortnight will be offered on Wednesday, July 4 at 12:10 p.m. at the Basilica of
the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, celebrated by Cardinal
Donald Wuerl of the Archdiocese of Washington and homilist Archbishop
Charles Chaput, OFM Cap of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. The Mass will be
televised nationwide on the EWTN cable network. Check your local listings and
the diocesan website (www.diocesepb.org) for details.
VOTE TO PROTECT RELIGIOUS FREEDOM
The faithful of the Diocese of Palm Beach and Floridians have an opportunity
this November to take direct action towards the protection of religious freedom
by voting ‘yes’ on both Amendments 6 and 8. Amendment 6 protects taxpayers from funding services against their conscience by prohibiting public funds for
14 ST. JOAN OF ARC JUNE 10
abortion and requires parents to give their consent in order for their child to
obtain an abortion. By preserving time-honored public-private partnerships,
Amendment 8 eliminates discrimination against churches and religious organizations that provide social services. It provides that neither the government
nor any agent of the government may deny to any individual or entity the
benefits of any program, funding, or other support on the basis of religious
identity and belief. For more information on these amendments, please visit
the Florida Conference of Catholic Bishops at www.flaccb.org. If you want to
sign up for advocacy and action alerts, look at the Take Action section of the
site and click on Join The Network and/or Grassroots Action Center.
Information can also be found on the diocesan website www.diocesepb.org
Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ:
Pope Benedict XVI expressed concern this year that what he termed the “most
cherished of American freedoms,” religious liberty, is being weakened in the
United States. We can clearly perceive the threat to this most cherished freedom in the mandate of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)
to facilitate and fund abortion inducing drug, sterilization and contraception in
the insurance policies provided through the Catholic Church. This threat is also
perceived in other limitations upon Church outreach to families, immigrants, victims of human trafficking, the infirm and the needy because of our unwillingness to provide what is contrary to our moral teaching and conscience. The
threat to religious liberty is larger than any single issue. The Holy Father has
asked us to counter that which would, is his words, “delegitimize the Church’s
participation in public debate about the issues which are determining the future
of American society.”
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has invited the
Catholic faithful to come together across our nation in a Fortnight for Freedom
from June 21st through July 4th. During this two week period of prayer and reflection, we, as faithful citizens of this great nation, seek to honor and defend
one of our most cherished freedoms, our religious liberty.
I encourage all Catholic to attend daily Mass during the Fortnight for Freedom and to offer their prayers of thanksgiving for our nation and our religious
liberty. I also encourage all Catholics to spend time in Eucharistic Adoration as
well as to pray the rosary asking our Blessed Mother for her intercession in preserving our religious freedoms. All Catholic should consider offering days of
penance during the Fortnight for Freedom on which they abstain from meat or
part in another form on penance. Finally, I ask that we study and reflect upon
religious freedom and the threats posed to it by reading the USCCB statement,
Our First, Most Cherished Liberty, as well as the many other materials available
through the special USCCB website, www.fortnight4freedom.org and at our
diocesan website, www.diocesepb.org.
From the arrival of Catholicism to this brave new world in the late 15th
century to the establishment of permanent colony in St. Agustine in 1565, the
sacraments, faith and outreach of the Catholic Church have been offered to
generations of the faithful. From the Maryland Toleration Act of 1649 to Article
VI of the Constitution and First Amendment, our great nation has labored to enshrine basic religious freedoms for those who freely choose to exercise their
chosen faith. May we continue to stand united in prayer for our nations and our
religious liberty and may God bless our undertaking.
With every prayerful wish, I am
Sincerely yours in Christ
Most Reverend Gerald M. Barbarito

CORPUS CHRISTI
Hoy, celebramos la fiesta del Corpus Christi, celebramos la
profundidad del amor del Señor, que le ha llevado a quedarse
oculto bajo las especies sacramentales... Nuestro Dios ha
decidido permanecer en el Sagrario para alimentarnos, para
fortalecernos, para divinizarnos, para dar eficacia a nuestra tarea
y a nuestro esfuerzo.
En esta fiesta, los cristianos acompañan en procesión al
Señor, que escondido en la Hostia recorre las calles y plazas,
saliendo al paso de los que quieren verle, haciéndose el
encontradizo con los que no le buscan.
Jesús aparece así, una vez más, en medio de los suyos. La
procesión del Corpus hace presente a Cristo por los pueblos y las
ciudades del mundo. Pero esa presencia, no debe ser cosa de un
día, ruido que se escucha y se olvida. Ese pasar de Jesús nos
trae a la memoria que debemos descubrirlo también en nuestro
quehacer ordinario. Junto a esa procesión solemne, debe estar
la procesión callada y sencilla, de la vida corriente de cada
cristiano, pero con la dicha de haber recibido la fe y la misión
divina de conducirse de tal modo que renueve el mensaje del
Señor en la tierra, siendo cada uno de nosotros, otros Cristos…
Cristo mismo.
(TOMADO DE LA HOMILÍA “EN LA FIESTA DE CORPUS CHRISTI” DE SAN JOSEMARIA).
TRADUCCION DEL MENSAJE DE NUESTRO PASTOR, MONSEÑOR MICHAEL D. MCGRAW:
¡EL PLAN ESTRATÉGICO de Nuestra Marcha Hacia Adelante fue APROBADO POR UNANIMIDAD!
El 24 de mayo, en una reunión general del
Equipo de Liderazgo de nuestra Marcha hacia
adelante, se aprobó por unanimidad el plan estratégico a ser desarrollado durante los próximos
cuatro años en la parroquia Santa Juana de Arco.
En mi calidad de párroco acepté esta aprobación
unánime del Plan. Es ya una realidad nuestro
plan para el futuro! Este paso final de la fase de
planificación fue el resultado de un año de trabajo
intenso, que incluyó encuestas electrónicas, la
escritura de una nueva visión , la investigación
multifacética en la comunidad de Boca Ratón, el
análisis, la edición, y redacción de objetivos y la
escritura de las Iniciativas surgidas de las ideas
de los feligreses. Alrededor de mil feligreses par-
ticiparon en la etapa de una u otra tarea o del
proceso de planificación. Es justo decir que este
proceso ha producido un verdadero plan de colaboración y de consulta, que expresa la identidad,
visión, valores y creatividad de nuestra parroquia.
Este es el primero de una serie de informes de
la parroquia sobre el progreso de nuestra marcha hacia adelante. En futuros boletines, me
referiré a las estrategias y calendario de ejecución. Por favor tómese el tiempo para leer y reflexionar acerca de nuestra Declaración de Misión
de la parroquia, la Declaración de la Visión, de
los Valores y los seis objetivos del Plan.
La futura implementación de nuestro plan requerirá la colaboración de muchos feligreses en
los seis equipos formados para desarrollar los
seis objetivos, priorizar, elegir estrategias y reclutar a más voluntarios. Si alguna vez se preguntó
"¿Cómo puedo participar más en mi parroquia?"
ahora es el momento y el lugar. Por favor considere cual sería su papel en el trabajo que llevaremos a cabo durante los próximos cinco años
con los líderes de cada ministerio, el personal de
la parroquia y muchos de sus feligreses para crear
un futuro que, energizado por el Espíritu Santo responda a la voluntad de Dios.

MINISTERIO HISPANO. AVISOS PARROQUIALES
COMO NOS VESTIMOS PARA IR A MISA
Ahora que se acerca el verano, debemos tomar mas cuidado de cómo nos vestimos
para participar de la Santa Misa. Ciertamente Dios no está interesado en “lo que esta
de moda” , pero la forma en que nos vestimos comunica un mensaje; nuestra vestimenta expresa nuestra disposición interior, por eso nos vestimos de maneras diferentes
en distintas ocasiones, cuando vamos a la Iglesia no deberíamos vestirnos como si
fuéramos a un baile, a un partido de futbol o a la playa. La vestimenta para entrar en
la Iglesia, debe estar limpia y ordenada, debemos cuidar nuestro pudor, siendo que las
faldas no deben ser cortas y ajustadas ni los escotes reveladores, debemos procurar
usar mangas, los hombres conviene que lleven pantalones largos y camisas de cuello,
en general deberíamos vestirnos un poco más formal. Nuestra vestimenta debería decir:
“Lo que voy a hacer ahora es importante”, voy a unirme a otros cristianos para adorar a
Dios presente en la Eucaristía y recibirlo en mi cuerpo en la Santa Comunión”. La forma
en que nos vestimos comunica nuestra actitud de respeto hacia los otros y refuerza nuestros valores. Mamas y papas eduquen a sus hijos desde pequeños a vestirse adecuadamente para estar en la presencia del Señor y de nuestros hermanos en Cristo en
tan importante ocasión.
ATENCIÓN MONAGUILLOS
Durante el mes de Julio en la Casa Hispana se dictará el curso de preparación para monaguillos, al concluir se les otorgará un certificado que los habilitara para servir en las
