For the next few weeks, I am going to publish this list of volunteer opportunities and also highlight one each week. As I have said many times, we are a very small church, but we are growing, at last count we have over 65 families. As we grow, we find we need more and more programs...and volunteers to man those programs. On this list we have many different types of ministries, some that might make you very busy, some that would take maybe an hour a month. There really is something for everyone. Please also know that none of these is a life sentence, I am easy to work with and will let you “out” of any volunteer duty if you decide it is time to stop.

Welcoming Committee.
St John Vianney over the last year has grown from 72 members to almost 72 families. We are so happy to have so many new members to our community! Many heard about our community through our website and word of mouth...family networking is the best way to grow a church. But we need to do more. We need to advertise, and we need to find a system by which we welcome visitors. We need a committee to look into ways to make St John Vianney Catholic known in our community, and we need a way to welcome guests when they come to mass.
If you are interested in advertising, welcoming and connecting with new families, please do see me about being a part of this committee.
This will be a committee, I do not expect anyone to take on this large of a task alone, so if you volunteer, you will have plenty of help!

Our Lady of Fatima's recipe for peace in Russia and the world.
Sat, Feb 5 - Five First Saturdays Devotion: Rosary, and Special Prayer Event
We invite you to join The Marian Fathers of The Immaculate Conception in 2022 as we livestream the First Saturdays each month making reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. This event includes the Rosary, prayers, and reflections. Together we will respond wholeheartedly to the requests of Jesus and Mary to repair for the sins of the world with prayer and penance for the conversion of sinners and for peace throughout the world. Click here.

May 13, 1917, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to three shepherd children in the hidden unknown village Fatima, in Portugal. Check out what She told them. One of Her requests is that we pray for Five First Saturdays in reparation for the outrages committed against Her Immaculate Heart. |
|
On June 25, 1981, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to six children in the fields in the hidden, unknown village of Medjugorje in communist Yugoslavia, again asking us to pray the rosary daily, make reparation for our own and the sins of mankind. God wants peace in the world, which will come when peace reigns in every heart. Again, like at Fatima, She calls for the Consecration of our hearts to Jesus through Mary - Ad Jesum per Mariam. Like at Fatima, She said Her Heart will Triumph, and that we can help Her realize Her plans through our prayers and personal Consecration. |
|
AD JESUM PER MARIAM - Personal Motto of Pope St. John Paul II, St. Maximum Kolbe and St. Louis de Montfort.
Consecration to the Virgin Mary by Catholics has taken place from three perspectives: personal, societal and regional, and under a number of different titles: the Immaculate Conception, to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, or more recently to Mary, Mother of the Church. Early in the 20th century, Saint Maximilian Kolbe, called the "Apostle of Consecration to Mary", began a vigorous program of promoting Consecration to the Immaculata. In Catholic teachings, consecration to Mary does not diminish or substitute the love of God, but enhances it, for all consecration is ultimately made to God. Theologian Garrigou-Lagrange designated personal consecration to Mary as the highest level among Marian devotions.
Pope John Paul II's motto, Totus Tuus (totally yours), reflected his personal consecration to Mary. He consecrated the entire world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, as Our Lady requested at Fatima.
Fr. Scott will be inviting the whole parish to join him as he prays the Consecration program. It is about 15 minutes daily, thirty-three days, beginning on February 20, ending March 24, with the Consecration taking place at the end of mass on the Holy Day, Friday, March 25, Feast of the Annunciation of the Angel Gabriel to Mary. Stay tuned, more to come next week!

THE LITANY OF HUMILITY
The litany of humility, for private devotions, is a moving prayer that can bring us closer to Christ. Do you worry constantly about what others think of you? Do you feel empty or frustrated if you’re not the center of attention? The litany of humility asks for our Lord’s assistance in humbly following in His footsteps and casting aside, or at least offering up to Him, all those nagging doubts and fears that come with our self-centeredness.
|
|
When the litany of humility is prayed in a private setting by two or more people, the lines given in italics below are the responses to a leader
O Jesus! meek and humble of heart, Hear me.
From the desire of being esteemed,
Deliver me, Jesus. (repeat after each line)
From the desire of being loved,
From the desire of being extolled,
From the desire of being honored,
From the desire of being praised,
From the desire of being preferred to others,
From the desire of being consulted,
From the desire of being approved,
From the fear of being humiliated,
From the fear of being despised,
From the fear of suffering rebukes,
From the fear of being calumniated,
|
|
From the fear of being forgotten,
From the fear of being ridiculed,
From the fear of being wronged,
From the fear of being suspected,
That others may be loved more than I
Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it. (repeat after each line)
That others may be esteemed more than I
That, in the opinion of the world,
others may increase and I may decrease,
That others may be chosen and I set aside,
That others may be praised and I unnoticed,
That others may be preferred to me in everything,
That others may become holier than I, provided that I may become as holy as I should,
