It’s how we are called to live our lives twentyfour hours a day, seven days a week! It challenges us to live “Godcentered” lives, not “self-centered” lives. Reflect on your daily activities, do you do them for the glory of God or for the glory of your own name?

Dear Parishioners, You may have noticed each week in the bulletin that we have a number of vacant hours in our adoration chapel. Perpetual adoration was one of the first fruits of our merger. As separate parishes, St. John’s and St. Joseph’s didn’t have the space or the people to be able to house and sustain perpetual adoration. Together, however, we were able to transform office space into a beautiful chapel, and to have at least one person dedicated to praying before the Lord each hour of the day and night. This ministry has also been a step along the way of integrating our Spanish-speaking and English-speaking populations. Our bilingual Mass and reception every March 19, celebrating the anniversary of our chapel is something to which I look forward every year, and it highlights the distinctive character of our parish. Perpetual adoration has also been a great blessing to our parish. Many of the adorers can tell you stories of prayers that were answered or difficult times that were weathered with the help of spending quiet time with the Lord. Christ longs to be present to us, and waits for us to place ourselves in a position where we are ready to receive him. Many parishes would love to be able to offer perpetual adoration, but do not have enough dedicated people to sustain it. It is my hope that we are not such a parish, that we will be able to have someone present with the Lord in the chapel every hour, and be able to continue to have this ministry at St. Gabriel’s. –Fr. Liekhus Thursday, June 28

Deepest Gratitude It is with a heavy heart that I share with you that my final day serving as Parish Business Administrator of St Gabriel will be June 30th. This was not an easy decision for me because I believe in the vision and direction of St Gabriel, I see the Holy Spirit at work in our ministries and looked forward to seeing what God has in store as we grow into the future. It was also difficult because of the relationships I have made here. It has been an absolute pleasure and joy to serve so many dedicated and faithful people during my years of service. Please accept my deepest gratitude for all of you, and for the opportunities and various projects that have helped me to grow in my desire to serve the Lord. We serve an awesome God whose plan for our lives often takes us out of our comfort zone and into a place where we need to rely on Him. It is with trust in Him that I will be joining the staff of The Church of St Edward’s in Bloomington. I appreciate your prayers as I head on this new journey. It is my hope that we will stay in touch and I look forward to hearing about your future success. Know I will be praying for you. A search team has already been formed to interview prospective candidates for the Parish Business Administrator position. ~~ Beth FAITH SERVICE CAMP—STILL TIME TO REGISTER!

Angela Cadena Gonzalez, Carlos Anthony Acevedo- Saavedra, Juliana Diaz, Maria del Carmen Caamaño, Pablo Sánchez Santiago and Yhoalibeth Dominguez-Lozano DID YOU KNOW that Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, "You cannot do kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late." Try saying to your children fewer DO THIS, and more LET'S DO THIS TOGETHER. That can include Praying together! Ask your children who or what they want to pray for or about and never, never laugh at their response! Keep the prayer Time short, Jesus understands children! It is a kindness to share your faith with your children, do it before it's too late and you are thinking "if only I had made the time to pray with them when we were together." God bless you, Kathleen Esh Sunday Preschool Coordinator

Fellowship June 24, 2018 – Solemnity of the Nativity of John the Baptist Isaiah 49:1-6; Psalm 139:1-15; Acts 13:22-26; Luke 1:57-66, 80

In the first reading Isaiah reminds us the Lord calls us from birth, from our mother’s womb he gave us our name. He concealed us in the shadow of his arm, hid us in his quiver until we were ready for him to show his glory through us. The Psalm reminds us the Lord know us; when I sit and when I stand; he understands my every thought. In the second reading John makes it clear that we need a baptism of repentance; he further shares that one is coming who even John feels he is unworthy to unfasten the sandals of. In the Gospel Luke reflects on the mercy the Lord has shown Elizabeth with the birth of her son John. There is confusion over John’s name until Zechariah writes John’s name on a tablet and only then was able to speak. As soon as he could speak he blessed God. All the people became aware of the Lord’s hand on John and how special he was. • What does your name mean? • Is there a special story around your birth or someone else you know? • Do you trust that the Lord knows your every thought? How does that make you feel? • Is it a challenge or a blessing to repent when you have a regret for something you have said or done, or not said or done? • Have you ever had to step aside and give up the lead to someone else? How did you come to that decision? UPCOMING VIRTUS SESSIONS AT ST. GABRIEL We have several Virtus “Protecting God’s Children for Adults” training sessions at St. Gabriel this summer. You must attend if you are in a ministry that serves children, youth, or vulnerable adults (this includes sacristans, ushers, greeters, Loaves and Fishes ministry, youth chaperones, Vacation Bible School, Nursery, etc.).

La Natividad de san Juan Bautista

La más profunda gratitud Es con un gran corazón que comparto con ustedes que mi último día como Administrador de Negocios Parroquiales de San Gabriel será el 30 de junio. Esta no fue una decisión fácil para mí porque creo en la visión y la dirección de San Gabriel, veo al Espíritu Santo trabajando en nuestros ministerios y esperaba ver lo que Dios tiene reservado a medida que crecemos en el futuro. También fue difícil debido a las relaciones que he hecho aquí. Ha sido un placer y una alegría absoluta servir a tantas personas dedicadas y fieles durante mis años de servicio. Por favor, acepten mi más profundo agradecimiento por todos ustedes y por las oportunidades y los diversos proyectos que me han ayudado a crecer en mi deseo de servir al Señor. Servimos a un Dios asombroso cuyo plan para nuestras vidas a menudo nos saca de nuestra zona de confort y hacia un lugar donde debemos confiar en él. Es con confianza en Él que me uniré al equipo de La Iglesia de San Eduardo en Bloomington. Aprecio tus oraciones mientras me dirijo a este nuevo viaje. Espero que estemos en contacto y espero escuchar acerca de su éxito futuro. Que sepan que voy a orar por Uds. Ya se formó un equipo de búsqueda para entrevistar a posibles candidatos para el puesto de Administrador comercial de la parroquia. ~~ Beth Adoración Eucarístia Perpetua Venga a rezar en la capilla en cualquier momento. (La capilla se cierra a la medianoche del sábado hasta el mediodia del domingo). Si usted puede comprometerse con una hora semanal, los horarios para los cuales necesitamos adoradores están a continuación. Necesitamos voluntarios para adorar a Nuestro Señor: Martes a las 10:00a.m., 2:00 p.m. y 11:00 p.m. Viernes a las 10:00 a.m. y 7:00 p.m. y el sábado a las 9:00 p.m Para más información o para registrarse para adorar a Nuestro Señor, por favor llame a Luis Becerra: (612) 490-0081

24 de junio de 2018

Queridos feligreses, Es posible que hayan notado cada semana en el boletín que tenemos un número de horas libres en nuestra capilla de adoración. La adoración perpetua fue uno de los primeros frutos de nuestra fusión. Como parroquias separadas, San Juan y San José no tenían el espacio ni la gente para poder albergar y sostener la adoración perpetua. Juntos, sin embargo, pudimos transformar el espacio de oficinas en una hermosa capilla, y tener al menos una persona dedicada a orar ante el Señor cada hora del día y de la noche. Este ministerio también ha sido un paso en el camino de la integración de nuestras poblaciones de habla hispana e inglesa. Nuestra misa bilingüe y la recepción cada 19 de marzo, celebrando el aniversario de nuestra capilla es algo que espero cada año, y resalta el carácter distintivo de nuestra parroquia. La adoración perpetua también ha sido una gran bendición para nuestra parroquia. Muchos de los adoradores pueden contar historias de oraciones que fueron contestadas o tiempos difíciles que fueron capeados con la ayuda de pasar un tiempo tranquilo con el Señor. Cristo anhela estar presente para nosotros y espera que nos coloquemos en una posición en la que estemos listos para recibirlo. A muchas parroquias les encantaría poder ofrecer adoración perpetua, pero no tienen suficientes personas dedicadas para mantenerla. Espero que no seamos una parroquia de estas, sino que podamos tener a alguien presente con el Señor en la capilla cada hora, y podamos continuar teniendo este ministerio en San Gabriel. –Padre Liekhus Por favor recuerde: Angela Cadena Gonzalez, Carlos Anthony Acevedo- Saavedra, Juliana Diaz, Maria del Carmen Caamaño, Pablo Sánchez Santiago, Yhoalibeth Dominguez-Lozano en sus oraciones mientras se preparan para el sacramento de la Confirmación. Grupo de Oración ~~ Sábados 7:00pm SÓLO JESÚS Debemos orar sin cansarnos, porque la salvación de la humanidad no depende del éxito material… sino sólo de Jesús.
