In the early Christianity, the disciples of Christ
were persecuted because of their faith in Christ
Jesus. In addition to being persecuted, they
never gave up because Christ was already in
their heart and lips. Because of Christ many
became martyrs like St. Peter and St. Paul.
From St. Peter and St. Paul’s time until
today, we continue to hear about Christian
persecution as it occurs in the Middle East
and so on. This leads us to Jesus’ question,
“Do you think that I have come to establish
peace on the earth? No, I tell you, but rather
division.”
We are called to be aware of this world that we live in including the ongoing battle between good and bad;
between those who accept and testify Jesus Christ and those who choose to deny Him. Through this ongoing
battle, Jesus reminds us that division is there especially when there is resistance including reticence to believe
and embrace love, mercy and forgiveness that Christ offers humanity.
Therefore, can we stop being lovely, merciful, and forgiving Christians? These are Christian values; these
may create division among believers and non believers and lead to persecution, but we cannot stop being
who we are, “Christians.” As the Letter to the Hebrews inspires us, we cannot stop praying for peace and
unity, and keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus. May we continue to pray for those who encounter division
and persecution because of Christ and for those who continue to proclaim Christ in today’s world.

PASTOR’S MESSAGE
WHO ARE ALL THESE NEW PEOPLE WORKING AT SAINT JOAN OF ARC
As a normal part of life, any organization, even a church sees changes occur in our staffing due to retirement, job changes or re-location. During the summer we have
seen some of these changes and consequently are welcoming new members of our parish work family. As far as our priest personnel is concerned we experienced
Father Tom Lafreniere’s transfer to his first pastorate and the assignment of Father Dominic Toan-Tran as our new parochial vicar. We also have a new Director of
Parish Ministries and Activities, Andrea Lewin, who in addition to being the contact person for family focused activities coordinates many of the other spiritual and
social organizations and activities that are a part of our ever active parish community life. She will work very closely with Constanza Preble of Multi-Cultural ministries
and activities and Rosario Gonzales of our Marriage Preparation and mentoring programs. We will also have a new face in our C.C.D. office with the addition of
Ailen Ponce as the Administrative Assistant to Rosa Davidson, our recently appointed Parish Catechetical Leader. In order to help strengthen our Youth Ministry efforts,
a FAU student, Michael Piranio, will assist Cecilia Chinchilla. Finally, our maintenance and physical plant crew will welcome Richard Davis and Timothy Gozza filling
empty positions in that important area of our church life.
It is worth noting that church employment is in many ways different than working for a for-profit business or industry. We are held to the same performance and
excellence standards as other work possibilities, but because we are a true charity, we cannot always pay a competitive salary. There typically is a dimension of sacrifice
involved in working in church ministry. Since our “CEO” is in heaven, we hope, however, that quite literally our reward will have to be in heaven. We also are committed
to sharing the work load across position boundaries and have to really “multi-task” everyday. It is very important for us to get to know as many of our parishioners as is
humanly possible and be present to them throughout the joys and challenges of life. Ministry is more than a job but it truly is a “vocation” that calls for self-sacrifice
and self-giving on behalf of parishioners, our big spiritual family. As the Pastor, I have a strong commitment to teamwork, visioning, planning, efficiency, spiritual
development and mutual respect. Every church worker’s contribution at St. Joan of Arc has great value and together we try to form a team that makes a difference
within and beyond our parish boundaries. The spiritual, human and social development of all of our parishioners is our unifying vision and we try to help in any
way that a church community can to further the happiness and fulfillment of all (here and in eternal life). Our whole church team would like to thank our parishioners
who support our efforts financially and through volunteering. As a true charity we depend upon you for our success. We are all in this marvelous and mysterious work
of the Lord together and form Saint Paul’s strong “Body of Christ.” May we continue to journey together along the holy pathways of the Lord as we build up the
Kingdom of God in our day.
Below are some pictures and messages from our new parish team members. Please give a warm word of welcome to them as you encounter them on our campus.

TIME, TALENT, AND TREASURE
Just like each person is a gift for the family - a gift that shares time, love, care and concern, so too is an active member for the church a gift.
Participating in the life of your church is just like being a part of a family, and it is an important roll to play in the strength of your parish
and your faith.
As Catholics we are called to get involved in the work of the Church through the use of our time, talent and treasure. One way to show our thanks
to God through time, talent and treasure is with the weekly offertory collection. With this treasure we are able to show our appreciate to God for His
many blessings by continuing His works through the Church. In addition to this treasure, we should be properly registered on the parish roster, regularly
attend mass on Sundays and holy days, participate in parish activities and ministries, and use the parish envelope system for donations. All of these
lends time to the church, which continues to further the Catholic faith and strengthen our bond with God and our fellow Catholics.
The time, talent and treasure of active members makes possible the many ministries that touch the lives of fellow parishioners as well as those
members of the community in need. The treasures specifically provided through the offertory helps pay the overhead expenses of the Church such as
electric bill, water bill, maintenance, salaries and other operating expenses of the Church.

Won’t you help us make a difference in someone’s life?
Support your church through an offertory treasure, give of your time and talent, and really make an impact on the life
of your parish, your fellow Catholics, and those in the community around you.

TO LEAVE A LEGACY FOR ST. JOAN OF ARC
STEP 1 Gather your information about your assets, including retirement
funds, bank accounts and real property.
STEP 2 Choose the type of bequest you’d like to make.
1. Unrestricted bequest. This is a donation to be used for St. Joan of Arc general funds.
This donation would be used where it is most needed.
2. Restricted bequest. This donation specifies how the money is to be used.
(This could be restricted to go into the endowment, a specific ministry, or the building fund.)
OVERSEAS IN THE US ARMED FORCES:
Staff. Sgt. Douglas,
PVT 1st Class Brendan Nestor.
Sgt. Maj. John Hermeling,
Capt. Christopher Allen & PFC Lee E. Palmer;
David Schuler, Lance Corp.
A bequest can be made in a number of ways:
• A specific dollar amount.
• Specific assets, such as securities, real estate, or tangible property.
• Retirement account assets, consisting of any benefits remaining in your retirement plan.
• A residuary bequest, St. Joan of Arc receives all or a percentage of your estate after all
other obligations are met.
• An existing will or trust can be easily amended to include a gift to St. Joan of Arc
without rewriting the entire document. Your attorney can prepare a simple document,
called a codicil, which adds a new bequest while reaffirming the terms of your will.
Similarly, an attorney can prepare an amendment to a revocable trust to add
St. Joan of Arc.
STEP 3 Meet with your estate planning attorney.
Would you like to donate
flowers to decorate the altar
on the weekend masses?
If you need to create a will or just update your existing document, you’ll want to
get advice from your estate planning attorney.
An attorney can advise you as to the best way to structure your will in order to take
care of your loved ones first and then your charitable interests while assuring the best
tax benefits.
As a charitable, not-for-profit all bequests to St. Joan of Arc are fully deductible for estate
tax purposes.
STEP 4 Contact us.
If you would like to donate flowers to decorate our altar, please call
Patty Delaney, (561)952-2868 or email her at [email protected]
(Flowers can be donated in memory of a loved one, birthdays or for any special occassion.)

The Candidate Questionnaire Project (CQP)
The Candidate Questionnaire Project (CQP) produced by the Florida bishops for the August 30th Primary is now out.
The CQP is a document that provides a summary of how the candidates running for office stand on several issues of importance
to our faith community. The CQPs can be found on the Florida bishops’ website at www.flaccb.org and on the diocese’s
website. The information is updated regularly as candidates return their responses. Our faith community is encouraged to view
and utilize the CQP materials before casting your vote whether you do so in person at a polling place or by mail.
The CQPs are approved by the bishops for use in parish bulletins or diocesan publications.

15 DE AGOSTO SOLEMNIDAD
DE LA ASUNCIÓN DE LA VIRGEN MARÍA
Hoy ha sido llevada al Cielo la Virgen, Madre de
Dios; Ella es figura y primicia de la Iglesia que un
día será glorificada; Ella es consuelo y esperanza
de tu pueblo, todavía peregrino en la tierra.
Corazón Dulcísimo de María, da fuerza y
seguridad a nuestro camino en la tierra: sé tú
misma nuestro camino, porque tú conoces la
senda y el atajo cierto que llevan, por tu amor,
al amor de Jesucristo.
XX Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario, Ciclo C.
San Lucas 12,49-53: El fuego del amor divino
Jesús nos dice hoy en el Evangelio de
la Misa: Fuego he venido a traer a
la tierra, ¿y qué quiero sino que arda?
El Señor quiere que su amor prenda
en nuestro corazón y provoque un
incendio que lo invada todo. Él nos
ama a cada uno con amor personal
e individual, como si fuera el único
objeto de su caridad. En ningún momento ha cesado de amarnos, de ayudarnos, de
protegernos, de comunicarse con nosotros; ni siquiera en los momentos de mayor
ingratitud por nuestra parte o en los que cometimos las faltas y pecados más
grandes, tanto cuando correspondimos a sus gracias como cuando nos alejamos
de Él. Siempre nos mostró el Señor su benevolencia; ahora también. Dios, que es
infinito e infinitamente simple, no nos ama a medias, sino con todo su ser, nos
ama sin medida. Este misterio de amor se realizó de una manera absolutamente
particular en su Madre, Santa María.

La Santa Misa es una institución creada por Dios para que nosotros podamos entrar,
en cualquier tiempo y lugar en la vida de Dios. La Misa es el envoltorio de un misterio:
Dios nos ama. Su amor se revela actuando primero en el Antiguo Testamento, luego
en el Nuevo, sobre todo en la obras de Jesús y por último en las acciones sagradas de
Su Iglesia. El Sacrificio de Jesús es siempre actual porque se desarrolla en el “tiempo
interior” en el que el presente penetra cualquier momento de la historia. En la Misa
se hace Memoria el gran evento de Cristo, que es principio de identidad del cristiano y
principio de acción. La misa es la fiesta de la memoria. En las dos mesas de la misa,
la mesa de la Palabra y la mesa del Pan, la misa “hace “el cuerpo espiritual de Jesús
que es la Iglesia. La fuerza del Espíritu nos llega a través de la misa y nos transforma.
En la misa es donde somos capaces de ganar personalmente la libertad que Cristo nos
ha conseguido al resucitar de la muerte, por eso es en la misa donde debemos unirnos
con El para resucitar con El.

Nuestra Señora de la Caridad del Cobre! Anótalo en
