The benefits are out of this world! “Come work for the Lord! The work is hard, the hours are long and the pay is low. But the retirement benefits are out of this world.” We are preparing for the 2016 - 2017 school year and we are in need of catechists for the religious education program. This program provides catechesis for 1st through 10th grade children of St. Matthew’s parishioners. The 25 classes are held on Wednesday evenings from 6:15 pm to 7:30 pm from the middle of September through April. There are no classes during school breaks. Each grade has a textbook and a user-friendly teacher’s guide. The classroom size varies – usually around 12 students. Joy Orozco, our new Director of Religious Education, has many years of experience as a teacher and catechist and has a great training program in store for you. So don’t say, “I’m not smart enough.” Or, “I have trouble understanding the Catholic faith as it is.” Joy will help you to be the best you can be. Think of an adult who made an impression on you when you were young. Now, write down or think of some words that describe that person. When this task was done with a group of people they came up with words like “cared about me, knew my name, liked me, spent time with me, etc...” No one said “good looking, really cool, was like another kid, could quote bible passages, knew the answer to every question”. It really makes the point that the things we all worry about that may keep us from working with kids are not the important things in the eyes of young people. Any teacher will tell you that you learn more and get more out of it than you put into it. What a great way to get a better grasp on your faith and feel confident talking about Catholic beliefs and tradition. I want to have a teacher and a teacher’s aide in each classroom. So, if you’re a little reluctant and want someone to be there with you, consider volunteering as a catechist or a teacher’s aide with a friend or a spouse. If you are entering the hospital for a scheduled surgery and wish to celebrate this sacrament prior to your hospitalization, please contact Norma. If you would like Fr. Bob to visit you during your hospital stay, leave word upon entry as a patient. I remember a sign on one of the billboards outside of a church, it read: “This is a ch_ _ ch. What is missing?” We all know the answer to that one. BULLETIN DEADLINE—Friday by 4:00pm Right now we are in need of an 8th grade catechist and a fourth grade catechist. Plus we need several teacher aides. —Fr. Bob Bulletin Editor: [email protected] Visit us online www.stmatthewwausau.org Intercessory Prayer: If you are in need of prayer, please call Peggy B. at 715-845-3321 or the Parish Center at 715-842-3148. Our prayer group is always ready to be of help when prayer is needed. Come work for the Lord. It will be one of the best things you have ever done for yourself ... and the benefits are out of this world! ST. MATTHEW WISH LIST: CAN YOU HELP? Please check out the wish list for the Angelorum in the back of church. —Fr. Bob 2 EMBRACE THE Year of Mercy Protecting Our Children A mother just shared a situation with me that recently took place involving her daughter. At a birthday that included a sleepover, one of the gifts received at the party was a Ouija Board. Later in the evening those gathered decided to play the Ouija board for fun. My friend’s daughter got so scared in watching what was happening from the doorway that she texted her mother to come and get her right away. Was this girl just being hypersensitive, or are Ouija boards something to be avoided at all costs? Every adult needs to know the answer to this question. Unless we give our children background on this unmarked danger, they will not know, at least initially, of the horrible effects that people often experience even by dabbling in divination, of which the Ouija board is one of the most dangerous forms. It opens a door through which evil spirits and their oppressions and temptations can readily come, as many people can sadly testify. God, who is completely good, loves us and wants to protect us from harm. Let us trust our Heavenly Father and listen to His warnings against such evil things for our safety and the safety of our children. The situation that the mother related struck a deep chord with me as I had realized, many years ago, that my life took a turn for the worse in middle school after playing with a Ouija board, not realizing the possible consequences. At that time, I also was at a birthday party and when the “game” was brought out, I agreed to play, mainly out of curiosity because I really knew nothing about it. After only a few minutes, the events became downright freaky. I am sure that the faithful prayers of my parents probably helped to prevent me from playing with the Ouija Board more than twice, but the gateway to the dark side of the spiritual world had already been opened. Ann Lankford Director for Catechesis and Evangelization The Diocese of LaCrosse FORMED—-Weekly Announcement This past week on the 4th the Church celebrated the Feast of St. John Vianney, patron saint of priests. We also celebrated the Feast of the Transfiguration on August 6th. In the Feast of the Transfiguration, Peter, James and John witnessed the Lord transfigured before their eyes. A Ouija board is a flat board marked with letters, numbers, and pagan-like symbols used to communicate with spirits. It uses a small triangular piece of wood called a planchette to spell out a message communicated by the “spirit.” The premise is that those seated around the board will receive messages that will connect them to people who have died and enlighten them as to hidden knowledge like future events and the afterlife. The beauty of the Gospel is that with God's grace we are all called to be transfigured into an image of Christ shining out to the world. For more on how we can be transformed, or on discerning your vocation check out the following resources at Formed.org. We need to be clear. The Ouija board is a form of “divination,” meaning it seeks to obtain unknown or hidden information from the spirit world. However, the only “spirits” that will be contacted through it are evil ones. Go to Programs - Click on Catholicism - Click on Session 9: The Fire of His Love: Prayer and the Life of the Spirit or Divination differs from prayer in that it goes outside the ways God uses to reveal His will to us. It seeks to take shortcuts around God’s plan and obtain answers to our questions without going to God. Go to Programs - Scroll down to For Youth, then click the arrow to the left to scroll to Study 16: Called: Discover Your Vocation Login to Formed using our parish's code: The Catechism of the Catholic Church states the matter succinctly. “All forms of divination are to be rejected: recourse to Satan or demons, conjuring up the dead or other practices falsely supposed to ‘unveil’ the future. Consulting horoscopes, astrology, palm reading, interpretation of omens and lots, the phenomenon of clairvoyance, and recourse to mediums all conceal a desire for power over time, history, and in the last analysis, other human beings, as well as a wish to conciliate hidden powers. They contradict the honor, respect, and loving fear that we owe to God alone.” (paragraph 2116) formed.org/register - Parish Code: R2QYZG Ouija boards are on the shelf at book stores and convenient marts between a deck of cards, Monopoly and Twister as an innocent “game” that sells for less than $20. To entice young girls even more, it can be purchased in pink for $89.50.

El texto del Evangelio de hoy nos muestra diversos centros de atención. Veremos en lo que Jesús enfatiza en diferentes ocasiones y es la imagen del tesoro para hablar del Reino. El tesoro es deseado, es algo así como sacarnos la lotería cada semana que la rifan, o que nos llegue una herencia no esperada. En la vida nos encontramos rodeados de tesoros que nos quieren vender muchas cosas con la promesa de ser felices. Sin embargo, Jesús nos dice que poseer el Reino de Dios implica otra cosa a la que debemos poner atención. Esta va en la medida de donde ponemos los bienes que tenemos, del cómo compartimos nuestro tiempo, talento y tesoro con los demás. Se trata de no acumular, sino de buscar y dar, dar siempre, para obtener el tesoro que no se acaba. Horario de Misas en español: Cada domingo a las 12 PM Catequesis para niños de Jardín Infantil (Kinder) hasta el 9° grado: En inglés cada miércoles de septiembre a mayo de 6:15-7:30pm en la escuela. Catequesis en español: Favor de hablar con el párroco. Bautismo: Favor de informarnos 6 semanas antes de celebrar el bautismo. Es necesario para los padres y padrinos asistir una clase de preparación bautismal. Las siguientes clases se ofrecen: La próxima clase de Bautismo: El 13 de agosto del 2016 a las 10:00AM Uno de los padrinos tiene que ser católico confirmado en la fé Católica y practicándola- es decir, que no vive en unión libre, Que asiste la misa los domingos, y que recibe los sacramentos. Matrimonio: En la mayoría de los casos es necesario informarnos seis meses en adelante. La seguridad de pertenecer al grupo de Jesús no está en querer todo, sino en confiar en Dios. Eso es lo difícil porque se tiene la tendencia de aferrarse a las cosas materiales, el dinero, la ropa, el carro, la casa y tantas otras cosas que se podrían mencionar. ¿Cómo hacer para que a partir de hoy aumente la confianza en Dios? ¿Dónde está a lo que me aferro? ¿Qué me aleja de Dios? Para responder a estas preguntas Jesús nos explica tres parábolas: el patrón que regresa de su boda y encuentra a los siervos atentos y vigilantes, y prepara la mesa para ellos; el ladrón que entra a la casa, roba y se lleva todo; y la del administrado fiel que cuando llega el patrón lo encuentra trabajando. Cumplir, confiar, comprometerse y trabajar. ¡Ahí está el tesoro! FORMED para nuestros feligreses. Me da mucho gusto poderles ofrecer FORMED a ustedes y a sus familiares este año.
