Apostle to the Youth This past Sunday, we had the joy of blessing the new youth space, and officially dedicating it to St. John Bosco, the ‘Apostle to the Youth’! Henceforth, its new name is the ‘Saint John Bosco Room’, or ‘Don Bosco Room’ for short. Below is a short biography of this great saint that will hopefully convey why we chose him as the namesake for the youth space.
Father Buehler St. John Bosco was born in 1815 in Becchi, Italy. His father died when he was two, and so he and his two brothers were raised by their mother, a woman of deep faith in God. The family was poor, and so John had to spend much of his youth working as a shepherd rather than attending school. What lessons he did receive were from the local parish priest.
He was a youth of quick wit, strong memory, and good character, with a great desire to learn. The household, though poor, was filled with charity towards all those in need. This example set by his mother and the environ-ment gave his a great love of God from his youth. At times of play, he was often surrounded by less virtu-ous youth, but received a dream that influenced him the rest of his life. He heard in this dream the words: “Not with blows, but with charity and gentleness must you draw these friends to the path of virtue.” “Be strong, humble and robust. When the time comes, you will un-derstand everything.” One day, a travelling circus came through town, and fas-cinated by the performance, John quickly learned acro-batics and tricks from the performers. He would then put on his own shows for the youth of the neighborhood, after which he would give them a brief Gospel lesson or invite them to pray the Rosary with him. He learned early on to use the interests of youth to draw them to the Gospel! Eventually Don Bosco became a parish priest, (‘Don’ is the Italian version of ‘Fr.’ for a priest) and early in his priesthood, while making weekly rounds to visit the prisons with his pastor (St. Joseph Cafasso – saints al-ways seem to be friends with other saints), he saw the horrible conditions and despair of the 12-18 year old boys locked up. He resolved to dedicate the rest of his life to service to the youth of the street (there were many during the industrial revolution, many of whom were orphans).
Don Bosco would go to the places were youth would work and play, again giving little performances of magic tricks and with short Gospel teachings relevant to their lives, and above all, showing them great kindness. Rap-idly, the number of boys whom he served increased from one, to 20, to 400, to over 130,000 at the time of his death. (Young girls would come to be served by the religious community he founded as well.) His approach to grow these young disciples was simple: he would instill a sense of duty, remove temptations, and praise all efforts – no matter how small – to grow in virtue. He didn’t praise talent or skill (these are often out of our control), but good will and character. He also encouraged play and enjoying the good things of life! He understood the power of music, and organized a band for the youth. He started teaching classes of basic knowledge at night, so the boys could attend after their day of work in the factories. He would go on to start technical schools and workshops to help the youth have a hope for a better future. He would also advocate for the youth, negotiating better working conditions, ensur-ing they wouldn’t be beaten, and be given days off on Feast days. His efforts were not without resistance, both from the nationalist government which was anti-clerical, and from others. There were even several assassination at-tempts made towards Don Bocso. But he persevered in the work he had been called to by God. He died in 1888 on Jan 31st (his feast day). St. John Bosco’s final words on his deathbed were “tell the boys that I shall be wait-ing for them all in Paradise.” Quotes from St. John Bosco It is not enough to love the young; they must know that they are loved. In every young person, a point of goodness is accessible, and it is the primary duty of the educator to discover that sensitive cord of the heart so as to draw out the best in the young person. I want to give you the formula for sanctity; first, be hap-py; second, study and pray; third, do good to every-one. Entrust everything to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament and to Mary Help of Christians and you will see what miracles are.

Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time Father Buehler recently shared the mean-ing of the “Sick-Call Crucifix” with stu-dents in 5th/6th grade. This crucifix is an important part of a Catholic home. This type of crucifix is hung on the wall (usually above the bed). The crucifix contains a hidden compartment, revealed by sliding the face of the cross down-ward. Within the compartment are two candles, a small bottle of holy water and sometimes a white cloth. The purpose of the sick-call crucifix is to facilitate the ritual connected to the Anointing of the Sick. This crucifix used to be a popular wedding present, meant to be hung over the bed of a married couple, ready to be of used when a spouse needed an anoint-ing. It reminds the couple of their com-mitment to be true to each other “in sick-ness and in health.”

WORD OF LIFE Prayer is the foundation of all that we do in defense of human life. Our efforts—whether educational, pastoral, or legislative—will be less than fully fruitful if we do not change hearts and if we do not ourselves overcome our own spiritual blindness. Only with prayer—prayer that storms the heavens for justice and mercy, prayer that cleanses our hearts and our souls—will the culture of death that surrounds us today be replaced with a culture of life.”
Soul Core Soul Core, (rosary and exercise) will be offered by DVD in the school cafeteria the following dates from 8-9am, Saturdays. Bring your exercise mat and wear comfy clothes!

From the Soul Core website: www.soulcore.com
"SoulCore is a movement that pairs core
strengthening, stretching and functional
movement with the prayers of the rosary. A
sensory experience combining candlelight,
music, scripture and movement to nourish
body, mind & soul and encourage deeper
reflection on the virtues of the rosary.
SoulCore is not affiliated with any other
exercise discipline. It is not yoga, nor are
yoga poses or Sanskrit referenced at any
time. SoulCore is simply an invitation to
discover the beauty of the rosary; a gentle
path to grow in virtue and interior peace.

Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time Stewardship Reflection “But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who per-secute you…” MATTHEW 5:44 Love your enemies, easier said than done, no doubt. But, remem-
ber, the foundation of stewardship is prayer. When we are in close
communication with God, it opens our heart and it turns our atten-
tion away from “me” and moves it towards God and others. It
allows us to have a little more empathy for “our enemy”. When
we pray for others, even “our enemies”, maybe it softens their
hearts as well.
"Stewardship Blessings Prayer." "Generous and loving God, You call us to be disciples of your Son Jesus and to be good stewards of all your many
gifts. Open our minds and hearts to a greater awareness and deeper appreciation of your countless blessings. Transform
us through the power of your Spirit to nurture a grateful and generous life marked by prayer, service, and abundant shar-
ing. With Mary's help, may we return ten-fold the gifts en-trusted to us. Bless our parish with a deepening devotion to prayer, a growing commitment for service and increasing levels of generosity as we strive to advance the mission of
our parish for the glory of your name. We ask this all through Christ, our Lord. Amen."
