Pastor: Reverend Ma!hew C. McGinness

Parochial Vicar: Reverend Joshua R. Evans

Parochial Vicar: Reverend Derek J. Thome

Welcome Fr. Derek! It is with happy hearts that we welcome Rev. Derek Thome to our parish family!

Ordained a priest of our Diocese on Saturday, May 26, 2018, Fr. Derek began his assign-

ment as Parochial Vicar at our parish on Tuesday, June 19.

Born to Jean and Howard Thome on December 7, 1988, Fr. Derek was the

youngest of three boys. His parents now live south of Goddard and are members of St.

John the Evangelist in Clonmel. Father Derek’s brother, Grant, and his wife, Leah, live in

Tonganoxie. Father’s brother Jarrod and his wife, Emily, live in Wichita with their four

daughters.

Father Derek graduated from Bishop Carroll Catholic High School in 2007. Hav-

ing thought about the priesthood only a bit while in high school, Fr. Derek a!ended

Kansas State University and ul#mately graduated with a Masters Degree in Architec-

ture. A$er gradua#ng college, certain life experiences led Fr. Derek to wonder if the

priesthood would be right for him so he entered the seminary at Mount St. Mary’s in Emmitsburg, MD, to “rule it

out”. While in the seminary, Fr. Derek dabbled in broadcast journalism, doing webcasts for their NCAA Division I

men’s and women’s soccer teams as well as baseball. It was a$er 1st Theology at the Mount when Fr. Derek

recognized he had fallen in love with God and that is when he became confident in his decision to pursue a

priestly voca#on.

In addi#on to kayaking in the rivers and creeks of south central and southeastern Kansas, Fr. Derek en-

joys watercolor pain#ng as well as trying out new micro-brews. He is looking forward to ge&ng to know his STA

family and is excited about spending his first two years of priesthood here at our parish.

Scripture Reflection As we celebrate today's feast, we are reminded that God creates and fashions each one of us with intent and purpose. We

are not random accidents. We are special crea#ons and wonderfully made. Each of us brings a unique twist to the one shot

at life that we are given. As people of faith and children of God, we are asked to use our specialness to announce God's

kingdom. Each of us reveals a unique part of God's face. Each day presents opportuni#es to communicate our faith to oth-

ers and to reveal God's mercy. We have the means to point the way to Christ. How can we show Jesus to others today?

As we all know, fashion changes with the seasons! However, as the temperatures get warmer we kindly ask volunteers to

refrain from wearing any of the following to The Lord's Diner: short shorts, open toed shoes, and tank tops. This is for the

health and safety of all.

What is the gift of tears? Pope Francis has spoken a few #mes about the "gi$ of tears" or the "grace of tears." He uses these expressions when

speaking about apprecia#ng great blessings or understanding great tragedies.

If we think about when we experience tears, we see that they come at the two extremes of life: great joy and great sad-

ness. If someone can say he has never had tears, that means he has experienced neither great joy nor great sadness. Such

a person surely has lived a life devoid of personal connec#ons and empathy.

It's one thing to intellectually understand each person is a gi$ from God; it is quite another to appreciate that in our heart

and soul. It is also one thing to intellectually understand that we have sinned; tears because of our sins mean we truly un-

derstand that we have sinned against him who is deserving of all our love.

Tears are a sign that we have loved, been loved, appreciate the preciousness of life, and can empathize with another hu-

man person's suffering.

Did you know?

How was June 24 chosen to celebrate the feast of the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist? The date set for John the Bap#st's birth only came into existence once the date to celebrate Jesus' birth was set. Evidence

shows that by the middle of the fourth century Chris#ans were celebra#ng the birth of Jesus around December 25. No one

at that #me knew when Jesus was born, but the date seemed to be selected to counter the Roman fes#val to the sun god.

Once December 25 had been selected for the birth of Jesus, a number of other dates could be set, using the biblical evi-

dence at hand. When the angel appeared to Mary and she conceived, her cousin, Elizabeth, the mother of John the Bap#st,

was in her sixth month. If Jesus was born on December 25, then he had to be conceived nine months before, on March 25.

If Elizabeth was then in her sixth month, then John the Bap#st was due three months later on June 25.

Then why June 24? A rather convincing reason stems from John's witness in John's Gospel. There John the Bap#st says that

Jesus must increase and he, John, must decrease. The other Gospels also have John point to Jesus and not himself as the

chosen one of God. In making John's birth a day less than Jesus' full nine months, the Chris#an community communicated

this Gospel reality in its liturgical calendar. Thus the Chris#an community con#nued to highlight John's mission and minis-

try. Maybe we could strive toward that same mission in our own lives.


Fr. Ma! asks that all giving pledges be up-to date prior to final school enrollment on

Monday, July 30, 1-7 p.m. in the School Cafeteria. Registra#on fees will also be due at final

is asked to please contact Shelly Babich, Business Manager, at [email protected]

or 316-684-9201, or Fr. Ma! at [email protected] at their earliest convenience.

Thank you!

“In a cultural climate in which moral norms are often thought to be matters of personal preference, Catholic schools have a crucial role to play in leading the younger generation to realize that freedom consists above all in being able to

respond to the demands of the truth (cf. Veritatis Splendor, #84).” (Address of the Holy Father Pope John Paul II to the Bishops of the Ecclesias#cal Regions of Chicago, Indianapolis, and Mil-

waukee (USA) on Their “Ad Limina” Visit, May 30, 1998, #3)

Stewardship Bit Is 49: 1-6 / Acts 13: 22-26 / Lk 1: 57-66, 80

You have heard that being a steward is a way of life. In other words, it is not what we do -- it is who we are. In the word

stewardship is implied a level of servant hood; there is a willingness to serve God and others. Today's readings men#on a

few of the Biblical figures who were unlikely servants, raised up by God: Israel (Jacob), David, and John the Bap#st. Each

one was called into servant hood while in the womb and each allowed God to use him in the fulfillment of His plans. You

and are I no different from these great holy men. We, too, were called into servant hood while in the womb. We were

created to be good stewards of our lives and we should rejoice in it! Like John the Bap#st, we live as servants of God, al-

lowing our very existence to proclaim that Jesus Christ is Lord of our lives.
