Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time - 08/09/26
The Holy Gospel According to: Matthew 14:22-33
After He had fed the people, Jesus made the disciples get into a boat and precede Him to the other side, while He dismissed the crowds. After doing so, He went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When it was evening, He was there alone. Meanwhile the boat, already a few miles offshore, was being tossed about by the waves, for the wind was against it.
During the fourth watch of the night, He came toward them walking on the sea.
When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea they were terrified. “It is a ghost,” they said, and they cried out in fear. At once Jesus spoke to them, “Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid.” Peter said to Him in reply, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.” He said, “Come.”
Peter got out of the boat and began to walk on the water toward Jesus, but when He saw how strong the wind was, he became frightened and beginning to sink, he cried out, “Lord, save me!” Immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught Peter, and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?”
After they got into the boat, the wind died down. Those who were in the boat did Him homage, saying, “Truly, you are the Son of God.”

Greetings,
I hope that you are well and surviving the smoke from the fires across the region.
I am late with this email; and all that goes with it. My apologies. As usual, I have attached the bulletin for St. John parish to the "About" pages for your perusal.
In relation to the Mass schedule for the parish this weekend, please note that the Church celebrates the Feast of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary this Saturday, August 15 at 8:30am. I have included a primer on this feast for your review at the following link https://www.catholic.com/magazine/online-edition/the-assumption-of-mary-in-history
Please note that this morning Mass (8:30am) does not fulfill our obligation as Catholics to attend Mass at a regularly scheduled weekend Mass. I urge you to join the faithful to honor Mary on this day.
On that very point, I have included below, for your review, a link with a primer on our obligation as Catholics to attend Mass each weekend. I also share with you the following website (www.masstimes.org) for your use in locating Mass as you travel throughout the year and, most especially during the summer season.
Finally, I have attached two documents regarding two important matters: The Spokane Complex Fires "CCEW Wildfire Emergency Fund" poster, attached to the Home Page and the "News" pages, plus the document for My Catholic Will information, attached to the "About" pages. Please note: To enlarge or reduce the size of these documents for better viewing, click the "View" tab and choose the % you need, depending on the phone, computer, or tablet you are using.
We here in Central Washington are keenly aware of the havoc and destruction that fire fires can bring into the lives of our lives and the lives of our friends and family members. We have lived through such trials over the years and with the help of our God have come through trials and tribulations. Now is our time to assist our neighbors and friends in Eastern Washington in their struggles. Please join me in providing both financial and spiritual support to those in need "in our own backyard." Please see the flyer for more information.
Blessings to you and your family.
