Attention EMEs and Lectors:
The July schedule is “live” and
available on the MSP website
and printed copies in the
Servers’ Sacristy. I plan to run
the August schedule the week
of July 27. Please send me all
time-off or special requests by
Sunday, July 26. All ministers
have done a wonderful job
with adapting to our new
routines for Mass.
Thank you to all ministers,
(EMEs, Ushers, and Lectors
when not reading) for wearing
their masks whether Mass is
held indoors or outdoors. Your
acts of kindness and regard for
everyone’s safety are truly
appreciated.

FOURTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME, YEAR A, JULY 5,
2020
“MY YOKE IS EASY”
Jesus wants us to take up His burden as He takes up ours. “My
yoke is easy and my burden light,” He says. His burden, the cross,
is a way of life. Our own burdens are better shared with the one
who leads us to salvation. The Father has entrusted all to Jesus,
His son, who leads us home. God invites us to His table, the
Eucharist. Text, Philip J. Sandstrom, STD © 2001, OCP. All rights reserved.

PSR will be happening for the 2020-21 school year! At this time, we are
not sure what it will look like as we await guidance from the Diocese and
government, but we are working closely with everyone involved to
determine the best way forward. Be assured that we will do everything
possible to keep our families safe and at the same time help the young
people of our parish grow in faith. Our plan may involve in person or
distance learning, but will include plenty of support, new methods, and
opportunities to be community in some way. Information will be
communicated as we develop our plan and prepare to begin on
September 13th in some way.
Now is the time to register for 2020-21 PSR! If you have not already done
so, we ask you to register your children as soon as possible. With so much
uncertainty, it will be very helpful to everyone if we have our students
registered early to plan for the possibilities. Children who plan to receive
First Communion are asked to participate in 1st and 2nd grade PSR, and 7th
and 8th grade PSR is expected prior to Confirmation in 9th grade. PSR
registration form is available online at sjvmentor.org. Please call the Faith
Formation Office if you have any questions at 440.255.0600 or email
Invitation letters have been mailed to Confirmation candidates for the
2020-21 preparation class. Candidates are asked to meet with a
designated member of the pastoral staff in July or August for an enrollment
conference as instructed in this letter. These sessions provide a great
opportunity for us to get to know the class, and we look forward to them! If
your 9th grader is eligible and you do not receive a letter, please call the
Faith Formation office at 440.255.0600 or email [email protected].
Our 2019-20 Confirmation class will tentatively be confirmed on Sunday,
October 25, at the 12:15 pm Mass by Bishop Marty Amos. First
Communion celebrations have been tentatively rescheduled to the
weekend of September 26 and 27. We will have one large group
celebration at 10 am on September 26. Families will also be able to
choose any Mass that weekend other than the 7:30 am Mass to celebrate
in a smaller group. The details and any instructions for these sacramental
celebrations will be provided at a later date. If you find that you have a
significant conflict with the dates, please contact the Faith Formation Office
at 440.255.0600 or email [email protected].
First Communion interviews were put on hold during our stay at home time,
and we will resume those at this time for all who still need to do so. If you
are uncomfortable coming to the office, we completely understand and will
work with you. Please call Laura at 440.255.0600 or email
[email protected] if this is the case.

RESPECT LIFE
“Respect for life requires
that science and technology
should always be at the
service of man and his
integral development.
Society as a whole must
respect, defend and promote
the dignity of every human
person, at every moment
and in every condition of
that person's life”. (Evangelium Vitae)
SCOUTS LEND A HELPING HAND: Some of the Scouts in our
parish and their families helped to clean some of the statues
on the parish property and the picnic tables in the pavilion.
Thanks for your assistance. It is appreciated!
Home Improvement!
Join us on Sunday, August 9,
2020 for The FES@HOME.
You’ll get to hear 9 national
Christian artist bands, along with
inspiring presentations, crafts for
the kids, and opportunities for
prayer and reflection all from the
safety and comfort of your
home. It’s a great way to invite
Christ into your heart and into
your home. The FEST, like
always, concludes with an
inspiring outdoor Mass followed
by an amazing American
Fireworks display. The FEST is
a great day of faith, family and
fun – this year – at home. Invite
everyone you know to join you
on Sunday, August 9, 2020. For

Dear Parishioners,
Pictured above is the flag pole opposite our
Shrine to the Blessed Mother. Some of the Boy
Scouts from the parish planted flowers in that area
as well as on the patio of the rectory. It was a
project that was completed in time for this holiday
weekend when we celebrate Independence Day,
the birthday of our nation. I hope that each of you
are enjoying this holiday weekend by spending
some time with family and friends. In addition,
with the help of family, some of the Scouts
cleaned the picnic tables in the pavilion and
assisted in the project of power washing some of
the statues on the parish property. I appreciate
their help. I also appreciate the help of the many
volunteers who planted the flower beds around the
property and have been faithful in the task of
regularly watering the plants on those days when it
does not rain. The property looks really nice!
On June 30 this week, we ended the 2019-2020
fiscal year. With the COVID-19 pandemic
lockdown beginning in early March and ending a
few weeks ago, the parish experienced a loss of
income with fewer people contributing to the
offertory collection. I appreciate the help of so
many parishioners who have been supporting the
parish with increased contributions, on-line giving,
and extra donations to the parish. Many
parishioners have dropped off at the office a stack
of envelopes to make up for those weekends
when they were not able to attend Mass. Given
this generosity, we will likely end the fiscal year
only about 10% short of budget. That is a real
blessing given the financial difficulties so many are
experiencing due to the coronavirus. We are
entering into the 2020-2021 fiscal year with
confidence that you will continue to be so
generous to the parish and God will continue to
watch over and bless us. With more and more
people returning to the public celebration of Mass
in recent weeks, and if this continues to grow each
week, we should do OK in this coming year, other
than the loss of fundraising revenue. However,
your generous response in selling so many raffle
tickets will also help us to make up for some of the
anticipated loss of not having a Summer Festival
this year. As I type this on Monday morning, June
29th, raffle ticket sales have already exceeded
$60,000, and we still have one more week to go!
Keep up the good work!
One of the changes we are making as we go into
this new fiscal year has to do with the way we
acknowledge your donation each time you make a
donation to the parish or school of $250 or more.
In the past we have sent to you a tax letter to
acknowledge your donation each time you give
one at the level of $250 or more. To save on
postage this year when we wish to watch
expenses more carefully, it was recommended to
me that we do only one letter to donors each year
at tax preparation time in which we would list all
the individual donations of $250 or more a
parishioner makes in that tax year. Call the office

if you have any questions about this or any other
question you may have. Three people who have
been helping me a great deal with the finances of
the parish and school are Debbie Clarke, Stan
Lipinski and Janet Miller. Debbie Clarke is the
parish book keeper and she has done an excellent
job at keeping up with things despite no business
manager since May 1. Janet has been
volunteering in the office for the past few weeks
and Stan began to work here as part-time
business manager this past week. I decided to
make the position of business manager as a part-
time position for the time-being. Jerry Straub left
us on May 1 for his new job as business manager
at Saint Mary Parish in Hudson. I appreciate the
help and assistance of Debbie, Stan and Janet, all
of whom are long-time parishioners of Saint John
Vianney, and the members of the Finance Council
and the Facilities Committee. Having so many
dedicated lay persons in the parish has been a
real blessing.
Pictured below are some of the All Saints alumni
who helped with the Farewell Mass for Sister
Veronica and Terri Armelli last Sunday.
Sister Veronica was known at All Saints for many
things but one of the things she did extremely well
was to prepare the students for an active
participation at school liturgies. The children read
well, sang boldly, and praised God with liturgical
movements which were so very prayerful. Some
of the alumni from classes between 1999 and
2011 came together to do some liturgical
movements at the Farewell Mass. It was amazing
how well they remembered the moves and how
much fun they had preparing in advance and
participating at the Mass. I was so very proud of
them and, if I had children, I’d be sure to send
them to All Saints! We will miss Mrs. Armelli and
Sister Veronica at All Saints but we know that the
lessons they taught our children by word and
example will bear fruit in their lives for years to
come. May God bless them in their retirement
years, and may God also bless Mrs. Maschak with
eternal rest and peace for all the good that she too
did at All Saints. We celebrated her funeral Mass
this weekend at the parish.
Enjoy the weekend and see you next week! FTJ

FOND FAREWELL FOR MRS. BERNADETTE MASCHAK
ALL SAINTS STUDENTS GATHER TO SAY GOODBYE TO A WELL-LOVED TEACHER: Many of
the students from All Saints School and their parents attended the funeral Mass for Ms. Maschak last
Saturday morning in Saint John Vianney Church. After the Mass was done, the students and their
parents gathered on the sidewalk between the church parking lot and Lake Catholic High School
parking lot to form an honor line as the hearse and family headed to the cemetery for burial. The
students placed one hand on their heart and the other hand outstretched in a gesture of prayer and
blessing for their teacher, Bernie. May God grant her eternal rest and peace in his kingdom.
