Thirty third Sunday in Ordinary Time - November 16, 2014
Dear Parishioners,
Most every Monday I teach religion for the eighth grade class at our school. This is an
important part of my week because I get to know many of our students personally and also
evaluate how they are progressing in their understanding and integration of their Catholic
Faith. This past week we learned about the four marks of the Church; that it is one, holy,
catholic and apostolic. We learned how the unity of our faith and fidelity to the pope makes
us one, how the desire to universally spread our faith and make disciples of all nations makes
us Catholic (Christ’s universal offering of salvation), how the presence of the Holy Spirit and
Jesus Himself makes the Church holy - and how being a faith built upon the twelve apostles makes us apostolic.
Our school is just one of the many places and means in which we offer our parishioners and others to pass on the
Faith to the next generation and to help strengthen and deepen the faith of our parish community of all ages. Passing along the Catholic Faith and helping to bring people into a deeper friendship with Jesus Christ is a sacred
mission in which we have been entrusted. All employees and faculty in the school and parish office do their part in
helping realize this central mission.
In many ways, the success of our mission of evangelization depends upon each one of us in terms of our stewardship of time, talent and treasure. Without a generous response in all three of these areas on the part of our parish
families and individual parishioners, we simply could not complete what we have been entrusted with as a parish
community. Stewardship for me is a way of life in which we acknowledge God as Creator and Giver of all. Stewardship involves responsible management of our God-given resources of time, talent, and treasure. We are all caretakers of all God's gifts. Gratitude and generosity are the only responses of a faithful steward. As we continue to
focus this week upon the stewardship of our treasure, I urge each family and parishioner to prayerfully evaluate their
generosity; and to prayerfully consider how crucial it is for the mission Our Lord has entrusted to us.
Queridos Parroquianos,
Casi cada Lunes enseño la clase de religion en nuestra escuela con el octavo grado. Este parte de mi ministerio es
muy importante para mi personalmente porque tengo la oportunidad a ver como nuestros alumnos están integrando
su Fe Católica y también para que puedo conocer personalmente algunos de nuestros alumnos acá. Esta semana
estudiamos el tema de las cuatro marcas de la Iglesia Católica; que ella es una, santa, católica y apostólica. Somos
uno alrededor del mundo por la fe y la fidelidad con el Papa, la Iglesia es santa porque tenemos el Espíritu Santo y
Jesucristo si mismo, somos católica porque el mensaje de la salvación es universal y la Iglesia es apostólica porque
elle brotaba por la predicación de los doce apóstoles.
Nuestra escuela no es el único lugar donde cumplimos la misión que nuestro Señor nos había entregado; pasando la
Fe a la próxima generación y haciendo discípulos del mundo. Cada uno de nuestros empleados en la escuela y en la
iglesia compartan este misión. Pero también es un hecho que por nuestros bautizos, cada uno de nosotros somos
llamados a realizar ese misión y también a ayudar la Iglesia en su misión. Nosotros somos llamados para ser generosos con nuestro tiempo, talento y con nuestro tesoro con la Iglesia para que ella puede mantenerse fiel en su misión
sagrada. Nuestra administración del tesoro es un area central donde somos invitados a ser generosos con nuestra
Iglesia. Esta semana cuando enfocamos sobre nuestra generosidad en esta area te urjo a reflexionar como podemos
ser un poquito mas generosos con la Iglesia por los dones que Dios nos había reglado.
In Christ / En Cristo,
Fr. Cal Christensen

The Ladies Guild extends their sincere thank you to all
who continually bring food for receptions after funerals.
Losing a family member or close friend is challenging
enough in its own right. Preparing a small reception
for mourners after a funeral or memorial service is one
thing we can do for families and friends to make the
day just a little bit easier. Thank you so very much for
Watch, O Lord, with those who wake, or watch or
weep tonight, and give your angels charge over those
who sleep.
Tend your sick ones, O Lord Christ. Rest your
weary ones. Bless your dying ones. Soothe your
suffering ones. Pity your afflicted ones. Shield your
joyous ones. And for all your love's sake. Amen.
St. Augustine, 354-430 C.E.

You are loved with an everlasting love!
St. Vincent de Paul - ‘Small Matters’
The good news of today's Gospel is the extravagance of what is being given us. All we need do is
be faithful in "small matters." The cost of fidelity
has no comparison to the reward given.
Lazarus Day Center
When you give the furniture, household items and clothing
you no longer use the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, you are
sharing God's extravagant love.
Your pre-made sandwiches
are very much appreciated but if you’re unable to
make sandwiches, donations of sandwich fixings are
also welcome.
With the holidays right around the corner, people are in more
need of help and assistance than usual. Your generous gifts
of food and financial support are needed now more than
ever.
Any kind of canned food and breakfast cereal works
well and is very much needed. Monetary donations
help with purchasing food items. Men and women’s
clothing are needed and the women’s clothing is exchanged with a women’s shelter.
Please bring donations the first Friday of every
month between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. The truck
leaves promptly at 9:00 a.m. Thank you for your
continued help and support! Next truck: 12/5
Manila envelopes can be found in the pews every Sunday for
any monetary contributions your heart may lead you to give.
Please make checks payable to St. Vincent de Paul. Your
kind donations of nonperishable food and cash will help
make lives just a little easier for our local families in need.
Lord, give me eyes to see and love others
as though they were my own children.
Amen.

Scrip - It’s the time of year to think, ‘Holidays!’ Gift
cards are an easy way to purchase all of your gift and
food items and please everyone on your shopping list.
The school receives an average of 5%-10% of the card
amount. For example: I bought a $100 gift card at the
school for shopping at Safeway. I then purchased $100
worth of groceries and the school received $5 in return!
It’s truly a win-win for all of us. Scrip cards are available after the 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. Sunday Masses
and at school during the week.
Auction Update - The school auction is currently procuring items for our February 21st Gala Auction entitled, “A Night at the Oscars.” If you would like to donate new items for this awesome event, please contact
the school office at (425) 778-9861.
Thank you for supporting our school!
