20th Sunday Ordinary Time
In our readings today we have the common theme of reaching out to those outside of the faith with an
evangelizing spirit, even if Jesus did so in a sort of backhanded manner, He still drew the Canaanite woman into
belief. When we consider evangelization of our faith today many in the Church believe that it should be the job
of the clergy. Shouldn’t the priests and bishops be the ones to spread the gospel in the world today? Well then,
let us crunch the numbers. One survey from the Vatican, states that there were 410,593 priests in the world in
2010, the number of bishops in the world was 5,104 and the number of Catholics in the world was
1,196,000,000 (that is 1.196 billion). So even if we subtract the priests and the bishops from the number of
Catholics that still puts the clergy as less than 0.04% of the Catholic population in the world today. Now the
question is, who would be the more effective evangelizers for the Church, the much less than 1% of the Catholics
who are clergy or the 99.96% of Catholics who are out in the world every day encountering the billions of people
in the world who are not Catholic? I believe that the math speaks for itself. Now the question beacons, how do
I, as a lay Catholic, become an effective evangelizer? I believe that the answer is engagement, engagement in
the sacraments, particularly those of the Eucharist and Reconciliation. Engagement in other things like reading
the Bible, reading a good Catholic book now and then, maybe about a saint or some other aspect of the Church
so you can be more informed about your Catholic faith. One might also attend a class or join a prayer group or
even start a prayer group or bible study with some friends. There are any number of ways and materials one can
use to engage one’s self in the faith and we have these going on all the time here at St Joan of Arc.
The most critical way of evangelizing the faith to the world, however, is the living of the Catholic faith in your
life in order to reveal to the world how a Catholic Christian loves one another as their neighbor as a
demonstration of how they love their God.

PASTOR´S MESSAGE
E
SAINT JOAN OF ARC CATHOLIC SCHOOL:
AN EXCITING 2014-2015!
very school year starts with excitement as the summer
winds down and expectations turn to "What will school be
like this year? Who are the new teachers? What will be
different?" I am personally very excited to give you a little pre-view of
our school for this upcoming 2014-2015 school year. First of all, as
most of you know, we have a new principal, Mrs. Caroline Roberts. She
comes to our school from Saint Jerome School in Fort Lauderdale after
serving there as Assistant Principal, interim principal on three occasions,
and teacher. I am impressed with Mrs. Robert's’ experience, enthusiasm,
energy level, new ideas and collaborative leadership style. We have
already developed an excellent professional relationship and are working
together to advance our school and to serve our students and families
in the absolute best way possible with a true synergism of church
and school.
I am most impressed with the changes for this coming year in the area
of digital learning. All middle school students will have take home iPads
to enhance their learning during and after classes. In addition, there will
be many new enrichment programs:
1. STEAMteam and Robotics (In a grade school!)
2. Hydroponic & Aeroponic Plant Growth Technology (garden in quadrangle)
3. Spanish taught Pre-K-3 thru eighth grade (wow)
4. Spanish and French Clubs (practice, practice, practice)
5. Arts enhancements: Ballet, Hip Hop, Drama, & Band
6. Sudent e-Newsletter and Youth Toastmasters
7. Creative Culinary Club (I can't wait to taste the first creations)
8. These new initiatives complement our already existing Sports Clubs:
- Baseball
- Basketball
- Cheerleading
- Cross Country
- Flag Football
- Soccer
- Softball
- Tennis
- Volleyball
In addition, there are many other Extra-Curricular Activities such as Altar
Servers, Bell Choir, Band, Video Club, Tech Club, Chess Club, Irish Step
Dance, Lectors, Cantors, Yearbook, Angel Choir, Student Council and
Edge, (Whew) and many others to help enrich the lives of our students.
As your Pastor, I have tremendous confidence in our school as a learning
environment that educates, supports, and forms the faith of our children.
As a most important ministry of Saint Joan of Arc Church, our school's
faith formation, moral and character formation, intellectual and social,
cultural and health and fitness formation express the love of God and of
this parish for our young members.
Some additional great news. During this coming school year and for
several years into the future, our physical plant will be improved with the
weather secure enclosure of our Gazebo, the building of a New Mercy
Center, new athletic field, and new technology and learning enhancement
centers in our school. Don't miss more news in the upcoming months
about these exciting quality investments that will position us to be
even more of a significant and relevant presence in Boca Raton as
Church and School.
I want to thank our administration, faculty staff and all parents who
invest in our school and by your support help to make it great! It is no
accident that in the past eight years, fifteen Valedictorians or Salutatorians
in our local high schools have been Saint Joan of Arc graduates. Talk
about a solid foundation for future success!
Please continue to pray for, advance and publicize our parish and our
fantastic school.
- Msgr. Michael D. McGraw

FROM OUR SJA SCHOOL PRINCIPAL
Dear SJA parents and students,
Welcome! I hope you had a fabulous summer! It is an honor to be part of the SJA family and it is a privilege to serve your children.
Thank you for choosing St. Joan of Arc and for entrusting us with your child.
I have been looking forward to meeting SJA students, and parents, as well as my new colleagues. I have been quite impressed by the work ethic
and caliber of our staff. Our faculty had a retreat this week, which was facilitated by our DRE, Sr. Vivian Gonzalez. The focus of the retreat,
“Education as a Vocation”, is an excellent reminder for why Catholic education is so valuable for our children. Teachers were reminded that
their students are a gift from God and they in turn are a gift from God to their students. Each classroom is “holy ground” as we need to focus
on the whole child as we prepare them to be disciples. Teachers took time out from their busy schedules to reflect on what made them choose the
education field; discussed some of their best teaching experiences; and what gift they have to give to the students. Some of the
gifts the teachers stated they look forward to sharing with their students include: enthusiasm, love, optimism, encouragement, determination,
innovation, compassion, patience, joy, thankfulness and perseverance. In other words, your child is going to receive so much more than academic
excellence! Teachers received a journal for writing their teaching experiences throughout the year and will also be praying for you,
their students and each other as they embark on a new beginning… the 2014-2015 school year!
“Christ is the reason for this school. He is the unseen but ever present teacher in its classes.
He is the mold of its faculty and the inspiration of its students.”

“PRAYER FOR PEACE IN IRAQ AND IN THE MIDDLE EAST”
The US Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) is asking all parishes to
offer special prayer on August 17 for Peace in Iraq. Below is the full text
of Patriarch Sako’s Prayer for Peace.
Lord,
The plight of our country is deep
and the suffering of Christians is severe and frightening.
Therefore, we ask you Lord
to spare our lives, and to grant us patience, and courage
to continue our witness of Christian values
with trust and hope.
Lord,
peace is the foundation of life;
Grant us the peace and stability that will enable us
to live with each other without fear and anxiety,
and with dignity and joy.
Glory be to you forever. Amen.

Florida Catholic is the newspaper of the Diocese of Palm Beach. It covers
the local activities of Bishop Barbarito, parishes and other local news. The

voice to the Church and provides witness.

PRAY FOR OUR PRIESTS
By popular request, we continue to maintain and update the monthly
calendar which originally appeared on the diocesan website during the
Year for Priests (June 2009 – June 2010.) The prayers of all the faithful
in support of the dedicated priests of the Diocese of Palm Beach are much
appreciated by our priests. Please continue to pray daily, using the
monthly calendar as a guide. The guide can be found on the Events
Calendar of the website. Go to www.diocesepb.org/events and click on
the “Pray Daily for Priests” wording in the left column.
2014 CANDIDATE QUESTIONNAIRE PROJECT:
WHAT’S A CATHOLIC VOTER TO DO?
Catholic faithful are urged to choose their political leaders according to
principle, not party affiliation or mere self-interest. To help parishioners become informed on where candidates stand on key issues, the Florida Conference of Catholic Bishops has polled those running for U.S. Congress,
the Florida Legislature, and Florida Governor. To see how candidates appearing on the August 26 Primary Election / November 4 General Election
ballot responded to the questionnaire, visit www.flaccb.org/CQP/2014.

MISA EN ESPAÑOL TODOS LOS SABADOS A LAS 6:30pm.
(Confesiones todos los Sábados a las 5:45pm (antes de la Santa Misa) en la capilla)
“Nuestro principal apostolado como cristianos consiste en crear en el mundo un ambiente de auténtica caridad”
XX DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO, CICLO A SAN MATEO 15, 21-28:
EL VALOR DE LA ORACIÓN
En el Evangelio de la Misa, San Mateo nos dice que Jesús se retiró con sus
discípulos a la región de Tiro y Sidón. Pasó de la ribera del mar de Galilea a
la del Mediterráneo. Allí se le acercó una mujer gentil, perteneciente a la
antigua población de Palestina –el país de Canaán– donde se asentaron los
israelitas. Y a grandes voces le decía: ¡Señor, Hijo de David, apiádate de mí!
¡Mi hija es cruelmente atormentada por el demonio!
El Señor atiende con especial solicitud la oración por los hijos
Las buenas madres manifiestan siempre solicitud por sus hijos. Saben
dirigirse a Jesús en petición de ayuda y de dones. Una vez será la madre de
Santiago y de Juan la que se acerque al Señor para pedirle que reserve un
buen puesto para sus hijos. Otra vez será aquella viuda de Naín que llora
detrás de su hijo muerto y consigue de Cristo, quizá con una mirada, que se
lo devuelva con vida... La mujer que nos presenta el Evangelio de hoy es
el modelo acabado de constancia que deben meditar quienes se cansan
pronto de pedir.
DIOS SIEMPRE ESCUCHA LA ORACION DE UNA MADRE
¡SE ACERCA EL DÍA EN QUE HONRAMOS A
NUESTRA SEÑORA DE LA CARIDAD DEL COBRE!
Apenas faltan 3 sábados para la Fiesta de
la Virgen de la Caridad! Todos los que
quieran ayudar en la preparación de esta
fiesta son bienvenidos. Necesitamos flores,
cantores, decoradores de las mesas de la

Usted es el que está encargado de llamar a la
parroquia a fin de que pueda recibir al Señor!
Además, usted, amigo mío, que tiene la responsabilidad
de cuidar de su madre o padre, abuela o abuelo o sus
parientes o sus seres queridos o sus amigos o vecinos,
son los encargados de establecer la conexión con la
Iglesia, avisándonos que un ser querido quiere recibir

esa Palabra”.

TALLERES Y GRUPOS DE ORACIÓN:
TALLER DE “CATOLICISMO” con el Padre Barron, todos los lunes de 7:00pm a
8:00pm , compartimos una refección mientras reflexionamos sobre el tema
presentado por el padre Barron en DVD, en español.
Invitamos al grupo de proclamadores seleccionados asistan puntualmente
los sábados a las 5:30 para practicar las lecturas de la Misa en español de
los sábados. El objetivo es que los lectores estudien las lecturas y aseguren
su proclamación con la debida entonación y contenido. Esta actividad es
coordinada por la Pastoral Litúrgica en español, sus miembros orientan paso
a paso a los responsables de la eucaristía. Previo a esta actividad se tiene
elaborado el calendario de misas y la respetiva asignación de los equipos
responsables a servir en sus diferentes momentos y espacios. Rosis Suarez :

PORQUE ES IMPORTANTE REGISTRARSE COMO MIEMBROS DE LA PARROQUIA.
Es muy importante que participemos en nuestra comunidad como miembros
activos de la parroquia registrándonos en la oficina y utilizando el sobre en la
Misa (en lugar de dejar la contribución sin sobre). De esta manera la parroquia
conoce quienes somos, pasando a integrarnos mejor en la familia de
Santa Juana de Arco.
