St. John's Adult Discussion Group
Our next meeting will be held
in the School Library
Friday, June 30 at 7pm
Father Gould’s next book discussion will be
especially timely as we celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the
Apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary to the children in Fatima,
Portugal. The book is Our Lady of Fatima by William T. Walsh.
Although there have been more recent books on Fatima, none has
surpassed this book. It was Walsh who told us that the “future of
our civilization, our liberties, our very existence may depend upon
the acceptance of [Our Lady’s] commands” at Fatima.
Books are on order. Please let me know how many
you need. The current price is $10.00. |

The
Arlington Diocese Office of Vocations presents
Vocations
Discernment:
"To know your vocation: ask God in
prayer; ask one's spiritual director; ask oneself, knowing one's own
inclinations."

"Quo Vadis" means "Where are you going?" and
its members are young men in high school who desire to grow in
faithful discipleship and personal holiness to be better able to
discover their own vocation invitation from our Lord, whatever that
might be.
''FIAT' is a Latin word for 'Let it be done'.
It was Mary's response to the angel Gabriel when she was asked to
become the mother of Jesus. 'Let it be done unto me according to
Your Will' refers to Mary's 'Yes' to God. The members of FIAT are
young women in high school who desire to grow in faithful
discipleship by modeling their personal holiness on that of our
Lady. By doing so they hope to be better able to discover their own
vocation invitation from our Lord, whatever that might be and make
their own "fiat" or "yes" to Him.
