Readings for the Week of July 31, 2016

SAINT JOHN THE APOSTLE CHURCH
FORT WORTH, TEXAS
You have heard of a violation of our safe
environment policy - a parishioner has a
credible allegation(s) of sexual misconduct
with a child that occurred at our parish
during an evening meeting at which
children were being watched in a separate
room from the parents by volunteers. The original allegation dated
back many years. The alleged perpetrator has no ties to either the
Child Care Center or to Saint John School.
At Saint John the Apostle Parish we take very seriously the
mandate to protect children. To that end, we will institute
further policies to safeguard our children.
First, babysitting of children will no longer be supervised by
volunteers. During masses on Sunday children will be supervised
in our child care facility by paid professional child care staff
members, helped by responsible persons who have completed safe
environment training. We are evaluating how to provide some
form of child care for evening meetings.
Second, no child should be unaccompanied or unattended during
Mass. Parents if your child needs to use the rest room, they MUST
be accompanied by someone of at least high school age. Ushers
will send unaccompanied small children back to their
parents/guardians.
We will be hosting a Farewell Reception with refreshments for
Fr. Raul Martinez on July 31, 2016 after the 5:00 p.m. Mass in the
Gym. Please come to thank him for everything he has done for our
parish and wish him well on his next endeavor.
Vamos a tener una recepción de despedida con refrescos para
Padre Raúl Martínez el 31 de julio el año 2016 después de la Misa
de las 5:00 p.m. en el Gimnasio. Por favor venga a dar las gracias
por todo lo que ha hecho por nuestra parroquia y desearle lo mejor
en su próximo trabajo.

Testimonio de Nuestros Padres acerca SJS
“Tanto el premio a la excelencia académica “Blue Ribbon” de la
escuela de Saint John como el compromiso comunitario son
igualmente importante para nosotros. Las amistades que hemos
hecho en la escuela Saint John se han convertido en familia para
nosotros, y esperamos muchos años más de compromiso en Saint
John.”

Jesus urges us to be rich in what matters to God. The
psalmist warns us against hardening our hearts. Are our
hearts open to what really matters?

nuestros corazones. ¿Están nuestros corazones abiertos para
lo que realmente importa?

SUNDAY COLLECTION
WATER, WATER EVERYWHERE! What a great Saint John
Parish response to the plea for water for the homeless. We
delivered the bottled water last week at the DRC on Lancaster to
their amazed staff. They were running low on bottles at the most
critical time of the summer. Our donation was met with eager
volunteers who helped us unload all 40 cases of water. Thanks so
much to everyone who contributed to this project!
Would you consider, sharing an hour or so a week to
deliver communion to the homebound and elderly?
This is a rewarding way to support members of our
parish who are no longer able to be present at Mass. For more
information please call Denise at (817) 284-4811 or
