World Population – 7 billion
World Hunger:
• 870 million people do not have enough to eat —
more than the populations of USA and the European Union combined.
• 98% of the world's undernourished people live in developing countries.
• Two-thirds of the world's hungry live in just 7 countries: Bangladesh, China,
the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia and Pakistan.
• Where is hunger the worst?
– Asia and the Pacific: 578 million
– Sub-Saharan Africa: 239 million
– Latin America and the Caribbean: 53 million (right on our doorstep)
• 1.4 billion people in developing countries live on $1.25 a day or less.
• Rural areas account for three out of every four people living on less than $1.25 a day.
• 22,000 children die each day due to conditions of poverty.
What precisely does it mean to be a Christian and have wealth?

PASTOR´S MESSAGE
THE POWER OF PERSONAL EXAMPLE:
POPE FRANCIS
T
he personal example and the frank and challenging messages of our
new Holy Father have generated a lot of media splash. By living
and teaching in a way that is the polar opposite of most "celebrities",
in an ironic way, Pope Francis has grabbed the world stage. It is very instructive for
us to consider his form of exercising papal authority and why it is so compelling.
First of all, Pope Francis has chosen to continue as Pope to live a simple life
(rooms in a Vatican hotel, plain garb without pretension, driving his own used car,
pressing palms in St. Peter's Square and kissing babies). The power of such
example cannot be overestimated. It has already brought people back to the
Faith because of the integrity of the witnessing.
Equally important is the way that Pope Francis speaks from the heart and without the overly theological jargon so often used
in papal statements. I am particularly appreciative as theologian trained in historical and spiritual theology to see the Holy Father's
efforts to keep all of the teachings of our Faith in an orderly and prioritized balance. This is the genius of the Catholic Tradition
throughout the centuries. Pope Francis reminds us frequently that at the heart of the Gospel is Jesus' respect and love for each
person. He would meet people where they were and show them how valuable and loved they are in God's eyes. The inestimable
worth and dignity of each person is the central truth never to be forgotten. Of course, Jesus also invited and challenged people to
grow spiritually and to achieve the personal freedom necessary to respond to the Word and Will of God. He would challenge the
sinner to be converted and to embrace a new, free way of life. He would not, however, demean or disrespect the person. This is a
good truth for us to always remember.
Another way of describing the approach of Pope Francis is to pay attention to the distinctions between Catholic dogma, morality,
liturgy (the first theology), community, spirituality and charity. All of these are important elements of an integral Catholic Faith.
They always exist in a prioritized unity and coherent whole. In each period of Christian life, one or the other of them may receive
enhanced attention but not to the exclusion of the others. What underlies them all and serves as the foundational truth is that we
are created, loved and sustained by the creative Love of God. We are each of great value and are meant to live in community that
is already in some real sense the Kingdom of God. We are called to further this Kingdom of God according to our gifts. We all have
a role to play. No one should be made to feel outside the sphere and reality of God's marvelous and all forgiving love.
Both by word and example, Pope Francis is inviting us to re-experience the freedom and liberation of being "Children of God"
and to share this "Good News" with a world so in need of its joy and hope.
- Msgr. Michael D. McGraw

The Guardian Angel Tuition Assistance Fund and The School Legacy Endowment Fund
These funds were created to give donors the opportunity to enhance and enrich the legacy of Faith Formation through
the strong foundation that a Catholic Education provides.
Guardian Angel Tuition Assistance Fund
School Legacy Endowment Fund
Donations to the St. Joan of Arc Guardian Angel Fund will help assist students currently enrolled in
St. Joan of Arc Catholic School.
Donations to the Endowment assist the school now and in the future. The donations are invested and the
income from these investments is used to insure the long term viability of St. Joan of Arc Catholic School.
Gifts to the Endowment fund have no minimum requirement and can be in the form of cash, stocks,
annuities or any other tangible asset. The Endowment income is targeted for use in one of the following
areas
Tuition Assistance Fund:
Donors are able to make a contribution of any amount with the knowledge that they are helping
a child at St. Joan of Arc. This assistance is targeted for existing students whose families have had
a substantial change in their financial status since enrolling the student in the school. These funds
are used within 36 months of the donation.
Scholarship Fund:
Donors can contribute to either a need based or academically based scholarship. Academically based
scholarships would be awarded to students for excellence in specific programs such as Math,
Science, Sports or the Arts. The gifts can be established for as many years as the donor would
like and the principal amount of the gift will be used as directed.
Targeted Support Fund:
A donation to the Targeted Support Fund allows donors to select how they would like their gift used.
Donors may support programs such as Arts, Athletics, English, Language, Math, Science, and Technology.
The gifts can be used for direct support such as musical instruments or lab equipment as well as
traditional scholarships.
The Holy Spirit Fund:
As Stewards of the school, it is imperative that the parish maintain adequate investments to insure that
the school will be passed to each future generation alive and healthy. This will require us to make
ongoing investments in its faculty, its programs and in its infrastructure. Additionally, we must make sure
that the cost of a Catholic Education at SJA remains affordable to the people of our parish community.
Income from this fund will be used in a way that is consistent with these objectives.

A FALL
SPIRITUAL READING
AND REFLECTION
FOR WOMEN
The entire Rule of St. Benedict is centered on Christ and the Christian
life. That’s why everyone—not just monks and nuns—can benefit
from following it. Benedict added nothing new to Christian doctrine.
He preached gospel values applied in an orderly fashion to everyday
life. His way of living is similar to that of the early Christians who are
described in the Acts of the Apostles. They devoted themselves to
holding all things in common, breaking bread together, and praising
the Lord. Benedict is focused on Christ in prayer,work, and in
familial relationships.
WE WILL MEET EVERY Monday from 4:00pm to 5:00 pm
At Casa Hispanic starting October 7,2013 we will be studying
A Blessed Lite Benedictine Guidelines for those who long for the good days.
Copies are available at the bookstore.

Are you a homebound or would you have time to visit one of our
HOMEBOUND PARISHIONERS?
Many of our families who help found St. Joan of Arc are now ill and
homebound and unable to attend functions at our Church.
What a blessing it would be to have good stewards who would offer
time to visit these good stewards who have invested their time, talent
and treasure in our Parish. They assisted in forming ministries and
have served our Parish well. Now it is time to show our appreciation of
their efforts to build up St Joan of Arc Parish.
If you are homebound (or know one), and would like a visit from one
of our parishioners or if you would be able to give a couple of hours
each month to brighten the life of one who is homebound, please call
St. Joan of Arc Church and you will be contacted."

fin de semana en toda el país se harán demostraciones pacificas en pro de la vida. Nuestra libertad está siendo metódicamente coartada,

unirnos en esta demostración pacifica que haremos el domingo 6 de octubre saliendo a las
2:00pm de Santa Juana de Arco en caravana

DESPRENDIMIENTO. COMPARTIR CON LOS DEMAS
LO QUE EL SEÑOR PONE EN NUESTRAS MANOS
Cuando se vive con el
corazón puesto en los
bienes materiales es muy
difícil ver las necesidades
de los demás, y se hace
también cada vez más
costoso ver a Dios. El rico
de la parábola «fue
condenado porque no
ayudó a otro hombre.
Porque ni siquiera cayó en
la cuenta de Lázaro, de la
persona que se sentaba en
su portal y ansiaba las migajas de su mesa». Y
todos debemos dar mucho y enseñar a otros a
que sean generosos. JUAN PABLO II, Homilía en el
Yankee Stadium, Nueva York 2-X-1979
Los cristianos no podemos cruzarnos de
brazos ante esa ola de materialismo que parece
envolverlo todo y que deja agostada la capacidad
para lo sobrenatural; y mucho menos dejarnos
atrapar por ese sentido de la vida que solo ve el
aspecto rentable de cada circunstancia, negocio o
puesto de trabajo. «La solidaridad es una
exigencia directa de la fraternidad humana y
sobrenatural», que nos llevará en primer lugar a
vivir personalmente la pobreza que Jesús declaró
bienaventurada, aquella que «está hecha de
desprendimiento, de confianza en Dios, de
sobriedad y disposición a compartir con los
demás, de sentido de justicia, de hambre del
reino de los cielos, de disponibilidad a escuchar
la palabra de Dios y a guardarla en el corazón
(cfr. Libertatis conscientia, 66).
“Distinta es la pobreza que oprime a multitud
de hermanos nuestros en el mundo y les impide
su desarrollo integral como personas. Ante esta
pobreza, que es carencia y privación, la Iglesia
levanta su voz convocando y suscitando la
solidaridad de todos para debelarla»Juan Pablo II,
Homilía, México 7-V-1990..
Hemos de ver hermanos en quienes nos
rodean, hermanos necesitados con quienes
compartimos el inmenso tesoro de la fe que
hemos recibido, la alegría, la amistad, los bienes
económicos. No podemos quedar indiferentes al
contemplar este mundo nuestro, donde tantos
padecen necesidad de pan, de cultura..., de fe.
