TWENTY-NINTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
OCTOBER 19, 2014
All Saints and All Souls
A Word from Our Pastor
Fr. Ron Weissbeck
This year the solemnity of All Saints
falls on Saturday, November 1st, and is
not a holy day of obligation.
My dear family in Christ,
It has been a tradition for many years to call our
attention in the third week of October to being a missionary
as the whole Church concentrates on World Mission
Sunday.
I saw it in a new light when I was a pastor in
Monteria, Colombia, 22 years ago. I had the sense that I
was a missionary to them but at the time was not as aware
that they also were acting as missionaries. It does not
depend on monetary resources but more fundamentally on a
response to the call to live the Good News.
The very nature and purpose of the Church is to
reach out. It is our common responsibility to announce the
Gospel by the way we live. This has been expressed
recently through the call to be evangelizers. We must have
more than just an acceptance of the Gospel message. We
must become involved in sharing the message with others.
From the days of the first apostles, especially Paul,
the task has been to proclaim the message to those who
have not heard it. What is this message? God has sent His
Son into the world to offer the gift of eternal life to all who
believe. It is not limited to a set of propositions but, first of
all, an openness to the One who was sent by God, namely,
Jesus. It is only when we allow ourselves to really know
Him as a person that we are on the way to being
missionaries.
I have often heard some people say that they have a
personal relationship with Jesus and that is what gives
meaning to their lives. I would not question this, but the
call is not just personal. It is also a call to make that
relationship concrete by becoming a member of the body
that Jesus established to assure the continuation of what has
been left behind.
The Church has been entrusted with the charge to
bring the Good News to all. This is what we focus on this
Sunday and renew our commitment to be bearers of the
Gospel by the way we live and share that conviction with
others.
Please join us for a special concert
following our 5:00 p.m. Saturday
evening Mass. Our concert will feature our St. John’s
choirs and is scheduled for 6:30 p.m.
The Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed (All
Souls) will take place on Sunday, November 2nd. Please
look for our All Souls Day envelopes in our church pews
to be included with special Mass intentions on this day.
Treasures from Our Tradition
When the fathers of the Second Vatican Council met to
discuss the sacrament of penance, they were required to
draw up a new rite, including several forms. The hot
button for debate was so-called “general absolution,” by
which a penitent could be absolved of sin without
confessing to a priest. This was a difficult debate,
compounded by widely varying traditions in both East and
West. Some were surprised to learn that the Holy See had
already given permission, during the First and Second
World Wars, for this form. In 1944 the Vatican issued a
decree saying this form was valid under extreme
conditions, which bishops in mission lands and Latin
America took as a kind of “blanket permission.”
Thus, the fathers of the Council were alarmed to find
this practice fairly widespread, not only in war, but in
peaceful places with huge numbers of faithful and few
priests. Although they eventually produced a ritual with
three different forms, the forms are not considered equal,
and the enriched and revised individual form is preferred.
The enrichments include a welcome of the penitent, a sign
of the cross with an encouragement to trust in God’s
compassion, new texts rich in the Word of God, praise for
God’s mercy, and a dismissal.

Fr. Ron
Jesus was a missionary. As the Word of God, He is the
light of all nations. As the Word made flesh, He brought
God’s own life into our midst. Before returning to the
Father, He sent the Church to continue the mission given to
Him by the Father and empowered her with his Spirit: “As
the Father has sent me, so I send you” (John 20:21).

LONGMONT, COLORADO
CLASES DE PADRES
A todos los padres de los estudiantes de comunión y Confirmación se les invita a participar en la reunión de padres
cada semana, a la misma hora del catecismo de su hijo/hija.
Las clases son el salón san Martin.
Un mensaje
por parte Del Párroco
Mi querida familia en Cristo,
Este fin de la semana nos enfocamos en un tema
para la iglesia universal, Día Mundial de la Misión.
Desde el principio de la iglesia las palabras del Señor
todavía resuenen claramente: “vayan y hagan discípulos a
todos los pueblos…” (Mt. 28, 19).
Entonces hay más que una colecta para los predicadores de
la Buena Nueva. Lo más importante por esta celebración
consiste de que todos nosotros renovamos el deber de
anunciar lo que recibimos desde el día de nuestro bautismo.
La iglesia recibió un cargo desde el día que el Señor
resucito: todos debemos compartir el evangelio en el
ambiente del hogar, el lugar de trabajo, en nuestras fiestas y
con los demás.
Yo quisiera llamar nuestra atención a la vocación
que hemos recibido. Proclamar y vivir el don de Dios, la
vida divina. No son solamente el Papa, los obispos y los
párrocos que fueron enviados a predicar sino todos
nosotros.
El domingo de la misión tiene dos metas, la
renovación del compromiso por parte de todos y una
colecta para ayudar a los que no han escuchado de la buena
nueva.
¿Cómo podemos realizar este proyecto? En la
familia pueden compartir como van a practicar la fe. Por la
catequesis escoger un país y aprender algo de la gente, la
historia y como viven entre sí mismo. Hay gente que no
conoce a Jesús y nosotros podemos rezar por ellos.
El domingo de la misión nos invita a todos nosotros al
servicio de la Palabra. “Señor, tu viniste al mundo para
llamarnos a llevar la buena nueva. Despierta en cada uno
de nosotros un anhelo de compartir tu amor y misericordia
con todos los que encontramos esta semana. Te lo pedimos
con el Padre y el Espíritu Santo. AMEN.
BAUTIZOS
Las clases de bautismo son cada segundo sábado del mes
en el salón Benedicto de 9:00 a 11:30 a.m. no necesita
registrarse para estas clases. Necesitan atender a las clases
los padres y padrinos, presentar una copia del acta de
nacimiento del niño/a que va ser bautizado/a. Los padrinos
deben ser católicos, mayores de 16 años, tener los
sacramentos de iniciación y practicar la fe católica. Si es un
matrimonio deberá están estar casados por la iglesia
católica. Los bautizos se celebran cada domingo después
de la misa de 12:30 p.m.
RICA (Rito de Iniciación Cristina para Adultos)
Rica no es un programa sino un proceso en el cual la
persona, después de oír la explicación del misterio de
Cristo, decide libremente seguir a Cristo por el camino de la
fe en la Iglesia Católica. Si usted es un apersona adulta y le
faltan los sacramentos de indicación: bautismo,
Confirmación y Comunión, este proceso es para usted. Las
clases se ofrecerán los lunes de 6:00 a 7:30 p.m. para
registrase puede pasar a la oficina o llamar al 303-776-0737,
ext. 113. Para más información.
Talleres de Oración y Vida (TOV)

St. John’s Food Bank
and Outreach
September 16, 2014
Dear Fr. Weissbeck,
The Office of Social Ministry is pleased to present to
St. John the Baptist Catholic Parish a contribution of $1,000
from the local Catholic Relief Services Rice Bowl
collection for St. John’s Food Bank.
Thank you, Fr. Weissbeck, for this important work of Work
of Mercy to the community and congratulations of the front
page article on the Denver Catholic Register featuring this
ministry.
Sincerely Yours in Christ,
Al Hooper, Director
Fara Kearnes, Associate
Office of Social Ministry

By John Williams
I believe that many involved with our Uganda
ministry know by now that Fr. Francis will not be coming
to Colorado, or the U.S. for that matter, this year. After two
denials of his visa, he had to postpone his trip as it was
getting too late in the year for him to travel. Wambale Inc.,
the oversight board of this ministry, has taken on the task of
solving the problem and will reschedule for next year.
In the meantime, Fr. Francis sends his regrets and
regards to St. John’s and promises to keep us updated on
projects and accomplishments of this mission. I would like
to take this opportunity to keep fresh in the minds of all
who support this ministry the main goals of our mission in
Uganda. The first is clean water, as tainted water is the
major factor in disease and death in this and many other
African nations. The second goal is education. Whether
it’s assisting with tuition for children of elementary, high
school, and even college students (most of these are for
priests or nuns), it is also used to help students seeking
agricultural education, as food is always in need. Finally,
our third goal is to build up the Catholic Church in an
area where Muslims and Pentecostals are gaining ground.
Much of this is already achieved in the second goal in
helping with Catholic education. Currently we are assisting
two women in convents, two seminarians, the Catholic
college in the area, and the Catholic high school and
primary (elementary) schools.
Fr. Francis is working on a CD to send to us with
lots of pictures and explanations of current and recent
projects and needs. This will be offered to our parish to
view when it arrives. Times and dates will be determined.
Family-Centered Faith Formation
Grades K-6 and RCIC
Tuesdays, from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. in our middle school.
Confirmation and RCIT
Thursdays, from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. in our elementary school
All Faith Formation Registration Fees are due by
October 30th unless other arrangements have been made
with our Faith Formation Coordinator.
Wednesday, October 22, 6:30 p.m. in Benedict Hall:
Come brush up on your understanding of the sacrament of
Confession. We will share ways to help your child develop
their conscience, learn how to make loving choices, to be
sorry for their sins, and to forgive others. We will review
how the Rite of Reconciliation is completed and offer tools
to prepare children for his or her first confession.
Workbooks are provided to assist you in helping your child
understand why Catholic Christians treasure this sacrament
of peace!
Tuesday, October 28: Parents and children will meet in
the church for our “All Saints and Souls” prayer service
before classes begin. After you check in, please meet in the
church.
Attention: Confirmation Rite of Enrollment will be part of
our Saturday, November 8th “Prayer Day” from 9:30 a.m.
to 2:30 p.m. One parent or sponsor will need to attend
from 1:30 - 2:30 p.m. We will have a light lunch and
refreshments. Please plan to bring a snack to share
Thank you so much to all

Rosary on October 1st.
Your participation was
appreciated.

Fishing with Fr. Grzegorz
Fishers of...Fish?
At our last SJB spring auction, the Reitz family was
fortunate to successfully bid on a fishing trip with
Fr. Grzegorz. Busy schedules for all meant that we
weren’t able to go until August 17th, but it was well
worth the wait! Fr. Grzegorz took us to one of his
favorite places—Chatfield Reservoir. The day was hot,
but beautiful and bright. We had a picnic, took lots of
pictures, played Frisbee, did a little bird watching, and
finally wet our lines. Unfortunately, the fish weren’t
biting that particular afternoon, but since when has that
ever spoiled a fishing trip? We particularly enjoyed
Father’s blessing of our fishing gear (too bad the fish
weren’t listening!), and his sharing of the Divine Office
prayers on the drive home. The whole day was a
perfect example of “re-creation” as part of God’s loving
plan for us. It’s so easy to get caught up in weekend
chores and forget that God wants for us to be
rejuvenated by enjoying His creation and some
spontaneous fun with those we love. Thank you,
Fr. Grzegorz, for helping us to remember that!
The best is yet to come.
Please stay tuned for volunteer invitations for various tasks in the upcoming months.
The strength of our auction committee is each individual member. The strength of each member is the team.
We can’t wait to see what we can do this year!

Reflection
By Seth Willden
I write as I walk to the
university campus where I
work and go to school. I
am greeted by a sharp
chill in the air. Frost has
appeared for the first time
this fall and the leaves are
desperately clinging to
their branches, hoping to
survive through the next week. I am reminded that the tenor
of our society is often a cold, ambivalent one. We, like the
autumn leaves, should cling to our life source for survival.
We should seek the truth, speak for justice, and sit in silence
to uncover our life’s purpose. Have a happy, crisp, autumn
day.

The Confessional and Reconciliation
The confessional is a familiar setting in literature and
drama. Everyone from Doestoevsky and Shakespeare down
the line to Seinfeld has used the sacrament to tragic or
comic effect or to reveal aspects of character otherwise
hidden. All of this theater, from world classics to slapstick,
has had a numbing effect on our own expectations, and has
skewed how the culture looks at us and our struggle with
sin and forgiveness, hope and healing.
Yet the artists are on to something. The reconciliation
chapel is a place where hearts are laid bare, where honesty
is the watchword, and people confess their deepest needs. It
is also a place of rebirth, or at least realignment. It is, like
the baptismal font, a place where something dies, and where
something else is born. Today, although literature has
barely caught up, the place is usually not the dark and
gloomy cabinet of old; rather it is a chapel that speaks of
peace, serenity, and the comfort of a welcome home.
People in one parish were astonished recently to see their
children skipping with delight as they left the place of their
first confession. We have to wait a bit for world literature
to catch up with this reality, but at least we can experience
the joy of penance, the thrill of a new beginning, the
assurance of God’s love.
