It is with fondness that we commemorate, this week, the transition of Mrs. Lucille Caravette from fulltime ministry to retirement and part-time ministry as of June 30th of this year. This month Lu marks
twenty years of full-time work as Director of our Christian Outreach Program (COR). These twenty
years followed eight years of part-time work (along with two or three days a week for the past several
years) in the Rectory as one of our Receptionists. Lu will officially retire at the end of June, however,
we are pleased to say that Mrs. Caravette will return next September to continue as the Director of COR
on a part-time basis. Lu will be in her office in the Convent building on Mondays and Wednesdays next
year overseeing the COR programs which include our efforts with our Sharing Parish, Our Lady of Lourdes, our food
pantry which is open on Wednesday mornings, and our Ministry of Praise (homebound parishioners praying for the
needs of our community). We are grateful to Lu for her continued commitment to the needy of our community and
OLL, as well as the elderly of our parish.
Our Financial Support of St. Ferdinand Parish
12th Sunday in Ordinary Time, June 19-20, 2004:
Envelopes:
$ 8,831.60
Loose Cash:
$ 3,773.08
TOTAL DONATIONS:
$12,604.68
Amount over/(under) weekly budget: ($2,395.32)
Last weekend our Sunday envelope total went up
nearly $800 due largely to parishioners “making up” their
offertory support. We really appreciate your commitment
to St. Ferdinand’s when you increase your donations after
being away from the parish. It helps to decrease our evergrowing parish deficit.
This Sunday we end our fiscal year. I’m glad to see
this budget year pass, primarily because as we only
reached our weekly offertory goal twice (Palm Sunday
and Easter Sunday) during this period. Actually, we have
had difficulty reaching our weekly goal since May 2003.
We have made many cuts in our projected expenses for
the coming year that begins this Thursday. Some cost
reductions have already been made and others will be
accomplished by September 1st. Even with those cuts in
mind, our adjusted offertory goal will be at least $13,000
per week. In September, when we revise our projections
to the actual final budget, that figure may have to be
increased. Over the summer weeks, when many parishioners are away, we typically experience a deficit. This is
why “making up” for missed Sundays and including your
offertory support in your personal budget each and every
month of the year is so important to the financial situation
of our parish.
In the fall we will present a complete report concerning the budget and the financial difficulties we have experienced in the recent past. We will also present a midcampaign update concerning Sharing Christ’s Gifts, which
is the significant “good news” concerning our parish
finances.
Thank you for all that you do for St. Ferdinand Parish,
and have a safe and restful summer.
Daniel P. Costigan, Parish Business Manager
Bulletin reminder: All notices for the July 4th bulletin need to be
in the rectory no later than 9 AM on Monday. You may bring
your bulletin notices to the rectory in an envelope labeled “bulletin”; you may e-mail them to [email protected]; or
you may fax them to 622-5903.
As members of the parish faith
community, it is our responsibility to
remember both in concrete and spiritual
Prayer
ways those who cannot celebrate with
us each week because they are ill. Those
who are sick in turn, remember all of us
daily in their prayers and in their sufferings.
We experience many blessings because of their remembering us. And so ... please remember in your prayers:

Thirteenth Sunday
in Ordinary Time
June 27, 2004
FIRST READING: 1 Kings 19:16b, 19–21
RESPONSORIAL PSALM: Psalm 16:1–2, 5, 7–8, 9–10, 11
SECOND READING: Galatians 5:1, 13–18
GOSPEL: Luke 9:51–62
On the Cheap It never works. If we do something on the
cheap, we end up cheating someone, usually ourselves.
Wallpaper won’t mask the deep crack in the plaster. Cramming
might get us past the test, but we won’t remember much the day
after. A long report won’t make up for a bad one. Today a real,
true, genuine call awaits a response in kind. No cheating.
• Comment
Take, for example,
the call of Elisha. He understood the
meaning of the cloak that was so unexpectedly laid upon his shoulders right
there in the open field. He felt its
weight, and more. The mantle and burden of office were on his shoulders.
Elisha knew that his life was going to
take an abrupt turn. One can understand his plea for time to go home to
tell his parents good-bye. This passing
from farmer to future prophet was a
surprise. It must have been breathtaking. Having received the abrupt permission of Elijah, Elisha went off to tie
up the loose ends. His response to his
call is never in doubt, for Elisha
returns and dramatically disposes of
all traces of his former life. Having
done so, he begins his apprenticeship.
In today’s Gospel we see Jesus
begin his journey to Jerusalem, where
“the days for [his] being taken up
were fulfilled.” This journey of his
life is complicated by barriers of ageold enmity. Jesus has to seek permission from the Samaritans to pass
through their land. This onerous busi-
ness was the result of a long-simmering resentment between the
Samaritans and the Jews. The
Samaritans first moved into Israel
after the Jews were forcibly exiled to
Babylon in 721 B.C. These interlopers
intermarried and had for themselves a
home and a mixed kind of Jewish
religion. After the people returned
from Babylon, they found these
Samaritans on their land, and great
resentments simmered and smoldered.
Not surprisingly, permission was not
given, so Jesus and his apostles had to
take the longer route to get to
Jerusalem, where he was determined
to go. Nothing would stand in the
way of his mission.
As we read on in this Gospel, the
connection with the first reading
comes clear. The disciples are to follow Jesus unequivocally. He makes
this clear to those who asked, lest
they be dreamy about his mission.
Jesus’ response sounds unduly harsh
to our ears. What are we to make of
this? Not even Elijah was this harsh,
when Elisha asked permission to see
his parents one last time. But the two
inquiring men were not Elisha, that’s
for sure. Jesus must have detected in
these two wannabe disciples a lack of
enthusiasm or any sense of the cost of
discipleship. His blunt response reinforces the sense of determination we
see in the opening words of this
Scripture passage. We see Jesus begin
his journey to Jerusalem by the long
route. Samaritan intransigence was no
obstacle to Jesus’ work. Wishy-washy
discipleship was an obstacle.
• Reflection So was misleading
discipleship. In the second reading,
unsettling ideas about discipleship
upset the fragile apple cart at Galatia.
Paul had every reason to assume this
community was well on its way.
When trouble arose, he must have
thought, “If it isn’t one thing, it’s
another.” The thing today is that the
people of Galatia were being taught
by misguided “Judaizers,” a name
given to those who taught that
Christians had to abide by Jewish custom and law. This kind of “piling on”
of old laws threw the Galatians into
some confusion. Paul urges them to
resist these free-floating ideas that
serve only to fragment and wear
down the community and return it to
the endless round of debates about
law-keeping. He makes it clear that
their baptism not only freed them
from the law, it freed them for something. They were called and committed to love freely, serve freely, put the
needs of the human spirit first. They
were urged to love first and then do
what love demands. At a later time,
Saint Augustine would put it simply:
“Love, and do what you will.”

ON MISSING LETTERS, AND FIRST COMMUNION
Copyright 2004 by John B. Reynolds (www.jrwrites.com)
The First Communicants at our parish made a large
display board recently in honor of their big event. I'm sure
the Director of Religious Education helped. The children
put their names, pictures, and requests for prayers on circles cut from purple paper. These "grapes" were then
affixed to the board along with the message (comprised of
green cut-out letters): “We Are One with Jesus; First
Communion Class of 2004.” The board stayed in our
parish hall for a while, but then the DRE asked me and
another guy to move it into the church and hang it on the
wall. One grape fell off in transit and had to be reaffixed. I didn't know it at the time, but this was a sign of
things to come.
The crowd seemed bigger than usual the following
weekend for Family Mass with several people in the back
having to push in along the display board. After Mass, my
family and I went to the parish hall for eats. We were
chatting among ourselves when a parishioner came up to
me to say that one of the letters on the display board was
missing. The “R” in “FIRST COMMUNION.” I told him
thanks for letting me know, but I can't say that I got too
concerned about it. My wife said that she had noticed the
missing letter, too, as did my son. And no more than a
minute or two later, Paul said he knew where the missing
letter was. I asked him where. "On that guy's elbow..." he
said.
Following Paul's nod, I saw a guy halfway across the
room with a green “R” on his left elbow. Confident that
this was the letter we were after, I approached the man and
asked him if he knew was wearing an “R” on his sleeve.
He gave me one of those looks that people often give me
when I ask what seems to me to be a reasonable question,
then he looked to his elbow. His surprise said it all. I told
him about the missing letter. He said he was sorry for taking it by accident. Then he turned it over to me; I turned it
over to my wife, and, when we were ready to leave, Gail
took the errant “R” and returned it to its proper place while
I got the car. End of story. But not quite...
All of today's readings deal with the cost of discipleship, and this is demonstrated best, I think, in the Gospel.
Upon hearing Christ's call, one man says, “Lord, let me
first go and bury my father;” another, “...but first let me
say farewell to my family at home.” In both cases, Jesus,
makes it clear that we can't have it both ways. Like the
man carrying the “R” on his elbow, we have to carry Jesus
around with us when we leave his table. We have to make
him such a part of us that we, perhaps, don't even know
that he is there, but we follow his call to discipleship just
the same. I don't know about wearing our “R”s on our
sleeves, but when we put on Christ, we are one with Jesus,
too. Letter perfect, you might say. Just like the First
Communion Class of 2004.
