This Week’s Mass & Liturgy Schedule…
Memorial Day Remembrance Mass<br />
More than 500 parishioners attended the Memorial Day<br />
Remembrance Mass organized by pastoral musician Tom Oram<br />
this past Monday, May 27. Concelebrated by Fr. <strong>John</strong> Rourke<br />
and Fr. Tom Kelly, the 8:30 a.m. Mass touched on the sacrifices<br />
made by those members of our Armed Forces who died fighting<br />
for our freedom.<br />
<strong>The</strong> celebration began with prelude music of Here I am Lord<br />
and Have Mercy on Us (A Soldier”s Prayer). Tom Oram’s great<br />
uncle was killed in action over Western Europe in 1943 and this<br />
composition was found among his possessions after his death.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Marine Corps League of Naples presented and posted<br />
the colors and fired a rifle salute to the fallen. Sgt. Robert<br />
McDonald played taps which brought tears to many in the<br />
congregation. Sgt. McDonald is a WW II veteran and served in<br />
the U.S. Army 8th Air force.<br />
In his homily, Fr. Rourke spoke of his classmates who went<br />
off to war, and “How I remember those gold star flags hanging<br />
in the homes of those who perished in the fight.” “<strong>The</strong>y were<br />
known as the Gold Star Mothers.” Fr. Rourke suggested a visit<br />
to a National Cemetery “will give a lesson in mortality as you<br />
gaze upon the countless white headstones of those warriors<br />
interred there.”<br />
When St. <strong>John</strong> parishioner Peter Tunucci was asked what he<br />
thought about the Mass, he said, “I would not miss this Mass<br />
for anything” and the U.S. Army veteran added, “<strong>The</strong> music<br />
and choir were just spectacular and set the tone of why we are<br />
here, to honor those who died for us.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> mass concluded with Tom’s special rendition of <strong>The</strong> Battle<br />
Hymn of the Republic.<br />

<strong>The</strong> fire hydrant in the Memorial Garden<br />
is no more. As of this past week, the<br />
hydrant has been moved to an area<br />
immediately outside of the garden. This<br />
move has been a long time coming and<br />
is one more step in making our memorial<br />
garden a truly beautiful environment.<br />
We also have replaced the old markers<br />
in sections 13 and 14 and will continue<br />
to replace all of the old markers in the entire garden. We<br />
hope to have this transformation completed by the end of the<br />
calendar year. If you are considering purchasing a space in our<br />
memorial garden, I suggest you do so sooner than later. As I<br />
have said on numerous occasions, there is serious talk within<br />
the Diocese of closing the sale of space in all parish memorial<br />
gardens in the near future. If you purchase your space prior to<br />
the closing, cremains may be interred at any time. If you do<br />
not purchase your space before the closing, you are basically<br />
out of luck. Please contact me at your earliest convenience if<br />
you would like to make our Memorial<br />
Garden your final resting place.<br />
Did you know that the Diocese of<br />
Venice employs a Victims Assistance<br />
Coordinator? Barbara E. DiCocco<br />
is the Diocesan Coordinator and may<br />
be reached at 941.416.6114 in the<br />
case of an allegation. St. <strong>John</strong> the<br />
<strong>Evangelist</strong> takes the safety of our<br />
youth very seriously. We require all<br />
volunteers to be fingerprinted and to<br />
take a mandatory Safe Environment<br />
Training course before having contact<br />
with your children. <strong>The</strong> Victim<br />
Assistance Coordinator is to listen,<br />
provide support and understanding on<br />
behalf of the Diocese. All allegations<br />
of child sexual abuse by diocesan<br />
personnel, including clergy, should<br />
be reported to law enforcement, the<br />
Florida Department of Children and<br />
Families and to the Victim Assistance<br />
Coordinator. <strong>The</strong> Coordinator will<br />
notify the Chancellor who will refer the matter to the Review<br />
Board for investigation. <strong>The</strong> Victim Assistance Coordinator,<br />
as the liaison between the diocese and the alleged victim,<br />
will focus energies on coordinating pastoral care for victims/<br />
survivors and will follow up with victims to ensure that they<br />
will receive appropriate care.<br />
Have you ever considered having your wedding reception or<br />
the reception of your children or grandchildren at St. <strong>John</strong><br />
the <strong>Evangelist</strong>? We have an amazing ballroom which can<br />
host receptions for up to 400 guests. Our ballroom has long<br />
struggled with the stigma of a “parish hall” however, for those<br />
who have attended an event in our facilities; you will agree<br />
that our ballroom is more reminiscent of a higher end hotel<br />
or country club rather than a parish hall. This past weekend,<br />
we hosted a wedding reception for a couple who wanted to<br />
transform the ballroom into a “South Beach” theme. Please<br />
see the pictures of the finished product on page 9. As you<br />
can see, the end result was absolutely magnificent. We host<br />
several hundred special events annually including wedding<br />
receptions, fundraisers, anniversary parties, dinner dances, etc.<br />
If you would like to use our facilities to host your special event,<br />
please contact me at 566.1678. Registered parishioners receive<br />
a substantial discount off of the normal rental rate.<br />
Did you attend the Memorial Day Mass this past Monday? Our<br />
“Lest we Forget” Veteran’s Memorial had a plethora of visitors<br />
not only by those who attended Mass but also by several<br />
hundred who attended the special events next door at Naples<br />
Memorial Garden. I am extremely proud of this amazing<br />
memorial and would like to once again thank Bill and Eileen<br />
Fuller for their generous contribution<br />
of the statue and their vision for the<br />
memorial. Memorial brick pavers<br />
may still be purchased for the<br />
reasonable price of $150.00 each. If<br />
you are interested, please stop by the<br />
parish office and fill out a form to get<br />
yours.<br />

After the proceeds from the Reverse<br />
Raffle have now been accounted for,<br />
we have raised $312,904.01 of our<br />
goal of $454,000.00 with regards<br />
to the <strong>2013</strong> Catholic Faith Appeal.<br />
This leaves us with a balance of only<br />
$141,000.00 to meet our goal. We<br />
are now $64,000.00 ahead of where<br />
we were at this same time last year.<br />
Obviously, with the summer months<br />
ahead of us, contributions will taper,<br />
however we have a great start with six<br />
full months remaining in the annual<br />
appeal. Thank you for your continued<br />
support of the Catholic Faith Appeal.<br />
Have you registered your children for our “Kingdom Rock”<br />
themed Vacation Bible School to be held on <strong>June</strong> 10-14? As<br />

A<br />
s we celebrate the Feast of the Body and Blood of<br />
Christ, many of us can recall the Corpus Christi<br />
processions of days gone by. People joined in<br />
procession with the priest who was situated under<br />
a canopy holding the Blessed Sacrament in the<br />
monstrance, blessing the people gathered in prayer.<br />
<strong>The</strong> processions taught us the great importance and<br />
reality of the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Church continues its teaching of the Real Presence<br />
by asking the Church all over the world to observe the<br />
Feast of the Body and Blood of Christ.<br />
Reflection Questions<br />
Food for the Journey<br />
1. What does the term ‘Real Presence’ mean to you?<br />
2. Name the ways in which Jesus is revealed to you when you<br />
gather for the mass.<br />
3. What do you hunger and thirst for?<br />
4. What are your hopes?<br />
5. Does the Eucharist offer you strength? Why or why not?<br />
6. Is the Eucharist central to your faith?<br />
7. What does it mean that Christ offered his body and blood for<br />
you?<br />
8. Does risen Jesus’ presence in the Eucharist change the way<br />
that you look at your life and the future?<br />
9. How are you challenged to encounter Christ outside the<br />
Eucharistic celebration?<br />
<strong>The</strong> Eucharist is central to our faith as Catholic<br />
Christians. <strong>The</strong> Magisterium notes that it is ‘the<br />
source and summit of our Christian life’. <strong>The</strong><br />
theological concept of transubstantiation is notably<br />
important for all of us. While we may well get lost in<br />
the theological treatises and discourse on the Eucharist,<br />
we cannot lose the fact that God is continually<br />
present in a tangible way every time we celebrate the<br />
mass. <strong>The</strong> last supper, the sacrifice of Calvary and<br />
the resurrection are always relived in the experience<br />
of our Sunday worship. It is so beautiful to know<br />
that no matter what we are going through, no<br />
matter what our disappointments, no matter<br />
what mistakes we make; Christ makes himself<br />
available to us so that our sins will be forgiven.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Eucharist is our moment of transformation<br />
– it is the moment when God says yes to us,<br />
and we say yes to God.<br />
In Sacred Scripture, we find multiple references<br />
to Jesus sitting at table to eat with others.<br />
Today’s gospel recalls the feeding of the<br />
five thousand. In this account, many of the<br />
people of Bethsaida and the surrounding area<br />
came seeking Jesus, hungering for his’ words<br />
of wisdom. Many others came in need of<br />
healing. Jesus reaches out to them in several<br />
different ways. He cures the sick and calms<br />
the countless souls who are searching for God.<br />
Jesus feeds these people, satisfying them and<br />
making them ready for the journey of faith and<br />
life.<br />
12<br />
<strong>Saint</strong> <strong>John</strong> the <strong>Evangelist</strong> Catholic Church • www.<strong>Saint</strong><strong>John</strong><strong>The</strong><strong>Evangelist</strong>.com
Today’s gospel is a reminder to us that Jesus constantly<br />
meets people on the holy ground of their individual lives.<br />
He embraces their fragility and tries to encourage them in<br />
their weakness and hunger. If we truly open ourselves in<br />
faith, Jesus can embrace our fragility and our brokenness.<br />
We just have to trust that Jesus is there for us. If each one<br />
of us can honestly admit that we have a deep hunger for<br />
God in our lives, it is then that God can fill us with the food<br />
of hope, the bread come down from heaven, the food for our<br />
journey into everlasting life!<br />
During our liturgy, Christ himself is present in you and in those around you, who<br />
have gathered in his name. <strong>The</strong> presence of Jesus breaks into the world through<br />
the ministry of the Word, and through the breaking of the bread. Let us remind<br />
ourselves of the importance of the Eucharist today and pray that we make it an<br />
important part in our journey through life. Let us also<br />
pray that we will be ready to receive the Real<br />
Presence of Christ under the form of bread<br />
and wine and to seek His presence in<br />
the gift of one another.<br />
Reflecting<br />
on the Sunday Readings<br />
with Fr. <strong>John</strong> J. Ludden, Pastor<br />
Prayer<br />
We pray: Lord of Life, let us hunger for<br />
the food that only you can give. When we<br />
gather in your name, let us come to your<br />
table and be satisfied. As we receive from<br />
your table, may your precious body and<br />
blood heal us and bring us ever closer to<br />
you and to one another. Amen.<br />
Voices of Faith<br />
Blessed, Broken & Given<br />
Hungry souls follow the Christ<br />
To a deserted place hoping for grace<br />
<strong>The</strong> teacher, preacher and friend<br />
Looks on to feed their body and souls<br />
Food blessed, broken and given<br />
From the hands of One come down from heaven<br />
At the Passover Meal family and friends look on<br />
As their Master and Lord hands on<br />
<strong>The</strong> Bread of deliverance and Cup of Promise<br />
This is my body and blood of the Covenant he passes on<br />
Food blessed, broken and given<br />
From the hands of One come down from heaven<br />
Dejected followers walk away from the Holy City<br />
On the day of empty tomb of which they saw no promise<br />
A stranger joins them along the way to Emmaus<br />
With hearts burning and eyes open they recognize him in the<br />
blessed and broken<br />
Food blessed, broken and given<br />
From the hands of One come down from heaven<br />
And so through time and space<br />
<strong>Saint</strong>s and sinners alike are brought to a sacred grace<br />
Where Christ’s presence is made known<br />
In the sacrament of the present moment<br />
Food blessed, broken and given<br />
From the hands of One come down from<br />
heaven<br />
From Cathedrals tall and humbled walls<br />
<strong>The</strong> priest enables Christ to live on<br />
As souls gather to worship to offer humble<br />
song<br />
<strong>The</strong>ir ears take in God’s Holy Word, their<br />
souls, God’s Holy Food<br />
Food blessed, broken and given<br />
From the hands of One come down from<br />
heaven<br />
Man comes to the edge of eternity<br />
As he endures the trials of life<br />
“This is my body…this is my blood”<br />
A reminder of the promise<br />
Food blessed, broken and given<br />
From the hands of One come down from<br />
heaven<br />
And so Man is given food for the journey<br />
As Christ goes with him to the end of time<br />
In turn he must go forth to others<br />
To feed them with this love divine<br />
Food blessed, broken and given<br />
From the hands of One come down from<br />
heaven<br />
