MESSAGE FROM TIJOACHAN

Dear Saint Jude Family,

All Glory and Honor to our Lord Jesus Christ!

Wishing you all a very Happy Feast day of Dukarana (St. Thomas Day)!

“Let us go to die with Him” (Jn 11:16) are the words of our father in faith St. Thomas the Apostle. I

always thought why did Thomas say that he would love to die with Jesus? Was that a quick remark

of a thoughtless disciple who blindly loved Jesus? I don’t think so.

What does it mean to die then? In the following Chapter Saint John explains to us the meaning of

dying and how necessary it is to bear fruit. “In all truth I tell you, unless a wheat grain falls into the

earth and dies, it remains only a single grain; but if it dies it yields a rich harvest” (Jn 12:24). In fact,

there is no meaning if a grain doesn’t die according to Saint John. We need to die if we need to

have a life in Christ. Saint Paul explains it again in his letter to Romans: “if we died with Christ, then

we shall live with him too” (Romans 6:8). Eternal life lies in dying to self in order to live in Christ.

If we meditate well we can understand that the words of our father in faith has got very deep mean-

ing. It was not a mere acclamation of a thoughtless person blinded by love. Rather, it was more of

an acclamation of a disciple who understood his Master very well. They were the words of a wise

man. One day in AD 72, Saint Thomas literally kept his promise and desire to die with/for Christ. He

became a Martyr in Mylapore (Tamil Nadu), India. He was buried in Mylapore and his mortal re-

mains are kept in Azhikode also (diocese of Irinjalakuda) where Saint Thomas landed in Kerala for

the first time. I’d recommend you to visit his shrine in Azhikode, when you go to Kerala. Never miss

him.

As we remember (Dukrana) our Father in Faith, Saint Thomas, let us be thankful to him for bringing

Christ to us. And also, let us keep to our heart one of the basic teachings of Saint Thomas “if we

don’t die with Him, we don’t live with Him”.

Sincerely yours in Christ Jesus

Tijoachan

Our Vision is to create a vibrant Syro-Malabar community that nurtures spiritual growth, celebrates the sacraments, and fosters community ties and leadership

First Holy Communion and Confirmation

Volume 4 Issue 7 S t . J u d e S y r o - M a l a b a r C h u r c h O f N o r t h e r n V i r g i n i a Page 3

Sunday, June 2 2013 was a special day for the St.Jude parishioners when 19 children of the parish received their first holy communion and confirmation from His Excellency Mar Jacob Angadiyath, the bishop of Syro-Malabar Catholic Diocese of Chicago. Out of the 19 children, 10 of them celebrated the Sacrament of First Holy Communion while the remaining 9 children celebrated the sacrament of Confirmation.

The ceremony began at 1:30 in the afternoon at St.Verionica Church, Chantilly. A warm and colorful welcome was ac-corded to the bishop who was greeted with a flower bouquet and then was accosted to church while being welcomed by scores of men and women holding colorful umbrellas. The liturgy began with a solemn procession by the children while singing Msgr.Jacob Kallarackal’s most popular hymn ‘Va Va Yesunadha’. With the bishop presiding the liturgy, Fr.Tijo Mullakkara, Fr.James Nirappel and Fr.Lijoy Thannikal O.Carm were the co-celebrants. The whole community joined the 19 candidates, along with their families, relatives and friends in praying and praising the Almighty as the candidates were initiated into the sacraments in a moving but solemn ceremony.

Special thanks to Rincy Jimmy, Rani James and Tomy Paul for all their hard work in preparing the children to receive

their sacraments. Congratulations to all the children who received their first Holy Communion and Confirmation. We

also congratulate Alan Saju and Theresa (Tara) Alex Kadapurathu who received first holy communion at St. Timothy

Church and St. Veronica Church respectively.

St Jude's men celebrated Father’s day on June 16th. There was a special mass on Father’s Day led by Tijoachan for all the fathers of our parish. We wish a Happy Father’s day to all our fathers in our community.

Father’s Day Celebration

We have active volunteers from our community who regularly visit Missionaries of Charity (MOC) every month for

Soup Kitchen. This time, we visited MOC on 28th June where nearly 70 people turned up for lunch. It was amazing to

see the amount of work our younger volunteers Joel (9), Joeanna (7), Jolena (3) put in, to feed the hungry. They not

only helped in cutting fruits and vegetables but also in serving.

Observing his dad and mom serve, Joel would politely ask, “Would you like to have Doughnuts?” and people would smile and push their plates forward and say “Yes Sir”. If you would also like to experience this virtue of serving with your family, please join us on Sat. 27th July for Soup Kitchen at MOC. Please contact Sherly Vadakkoot for further de-tails at sherly1810@gmail.com.

Feast Day Celebrations

Mid Atlantic Conference (MAC)

St Jude’s Car

The families of St. Jude Syro-Malabar community of Northern Virginia worked together to purchase a car for their shepherd, Fr. Tijo Mullakkara. The car was blessed by his Excellency Mar Jacob Angadiath and handed over to Tijoa-chan in presence of the parish council members on June 2, 2013.Special thanks to Sony Kuruvilla for taking the initia-tive and putting effort to make it happen.

Thanks to the prayers and support of many, the Mid Atlantic Conference (MAC) that took place on Memorial Day

weekend was a great success. Over 120 youth participated in the MAC from the local Syro Malabar Churches in

Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and Washington D.C. Under the direction of Fr. Vinod Madathiparambil, the youth

engaged in various faith formation and faith sharing activities and had many opportunities to build deeper relationships

with other youth in the Mid-Atlantic region.

Each night ended with a beautiful time of Adoration which provided the youth an opportunity to offer all they had

learned and experienced during the day to the Lord in prayer. Let us continue to pray for the youth in our region and

our Syro Malabar family. We pray that our youth continue to deepen their relationship with Jesus and with the Syro

Malabar Church that Jesus established through St. Thomas. We also pray that our youth continue to grow in friend-

ship with their brothers and sisters in the region.

Cloth Drive

If you have new or gently worn clothes hanging in your closet for some time and don’t know what to do with it or if your

kids have outgrown the beautiful and expensive dress, you once bought for them and now wonder whom to give

it…..worry not…St. Vincent De Paul Helping Hands would like you to donate them to our Clothes Drive on 14th, 21st

and 28th July at St. Andrew Lutheran Church.

We have partnered with Clothes4Souls , a non-profit organization who will distribute our clothes to people in need to

our very own homeland India. We have to do just this much, fold and pack the clothes in 13 gallon bags and contribute

$ 5/- for every bag packed. Donate generously and let’s give hope to people and children who need them the most.

Please contact Sherly Vadakkoot for further details at sherly1810@gmail.com.

Most holy Apostle, St. Jude, faithful servant and

friend of Jesus, the Church honors and invokes you uni-

versally, as the patron of difficult cases, of things almost

despaired of, Pray for me, I am so helpless and alone.

speedy help where help is almost despaired of. Come to

my assistance in this great need that I may receive the

consolation and help of heaven in all my necessities, trib-

ulations, and sufferings, particularly - (make your request

here) - and that I may praise God with you and all the

saints forever. I promise, O Blessed St. Jude, to be ever

mindful of this great favor granted me by God and to al-

ways honor you as my special and powerful patron, and

to gratefully encourage devotion to you. Amen.

PRAYER: May the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus be

adored, and loved in all the tabernacles until the end of

time. Amen. May the most Sacred Heart of Jesus be

praised and glorified now and forever. Amen St. Jude,

pray for us and hear our prayers. Amen. Blessed be the

Sacred Heart of Jesus Blessed be the Immaculate Heart

of Mary Blessed be St. Jude Thaddeus, in all the world

and for all Eternity.

Auschwitz was a notorious prison camp located in Poland. Hundreds of thousands of innocent people were killed here during World War II, most of them just because they were born as Jews. At the end of July 1941, three prisoners somehow escaped from the camp. Authorities were furious. They picked 10 men to be starved to death in order to teach a lesson to other prisoners and to deter them from trying to escape. One of the men, who were selected, started to cry loudly, "My poor wife! My poor Children! I will never see them again". When he sobbed uncontrollably, one of the other prisoners boldly came forward and told the guards "I am a Catholic priest. Let me take his place. He has a wife and children. Let him go, I will die instead". That priest was Fr. Maximilian Kolbe. Prison guards were surprised; but they granted his wish and put Fr. Kolbe in a condemned cell along with the selected pris-oners. After weeks of starvation, one by one died. Finally Fr. Kolbe was killed in the cell by injecting a lethal poison. He ac-cepted death with no complaints. Jesus said "Greater love has no one than this; to lay down one's life for one's friends" (John 15:13). Fr. Kolbe followed our Lord's teaching by giving up his life for a total stranger. And today He is revered in the church as a Saint and people across the world remember him fondly for his unconditional self-sacrifice. Fr. Kolbe followed our Lord's teaching by giving up his life for a total stranger.

Saint's corner for Kids - St. Maximilian Kolbe

The 23 churches that make up the Catholic communion consists of four liturgical families; the East Syriac or Chaldaic family,

the West Syriac family consisting of the Antiochene, the Maronite, the Byzantine and the Armenian Liturgies, the Alexandrian

with the Coptic and the Ethiopian liturgies, and the Latin liturgy.

The Eucharistic Celebration in the Syro-Malabar church is called Qurbana, which means an offering or an oblation. The most

solemn Qurbana is the Raza which means mystery. In the Raza, the word Raza itself is used 26 times both in singular and

plural forms.
