ONE BIG THANK
YOU!…
Last weekend the Girl
Scouts, along with
several family
members, under the
leadership of Kim
Crandall followed the
advice of Lady Byrd Johnson who said: Beautify
America, plant a tree, a shrub or a bush. So, we can
now delight in the beauty added to our parish
grounds in the center circle in front of the Parish
Hall. At their cost of money and “sweat equity”, in
the humidity and heat of the day they dug up the
grass, tilled the soil and
planted some beautiful
blooming plants around
the young yellowflowering Tababouia tree.
Many thanks to Kim, Dale,
Anabelle and all the
other Girl Scout family
members who labored and
created a space of beauty.

CONFIRMATION CLASS PARENT/STUDENT NEWS
A parent-candidate meeting will be held on Sunday, September 13, 2015 at 4:00pm. The meeting will be held
in the church. Both parent and student must attend together. You will have a chance to examine the program
materials and learn about the program’s components, including class sessions, service projects, retreat days,
and confirmation Mass rehearsal. The fee for our confirmation program is $50.00. Please arrive on time!
Confirmation is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for spiritual growth, so during this formation time other activities will have to go on the back burner. If your speech and actions show that this confirmation program is a
priority in your family life, your candidate will see it that way too.
We urge you to pray with your candidate on a regular basis. The entire parish will be praying for you and your
candidate during these months of formation. In particular, the pastoral staff and the volunteer leaders will be
asking Jesus to bless you and your candidate with all the gifts you need.
Remember both you and your child/children
must attend this meeting together.

ATTENTION ALL WOMEN

We are in the process of organizing
a Columbiettes Auxiliary which will

Saturday, August 29, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. at the Knights
of Columbus Hall. We invite all Catholic women, age

20º Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario En la fe cristiana, creemos que como bautizados
vamos acompañados de recibir el cuerpo y de beber la sangre del Señor. Sólo de ese modo se
realiza entre Jesús y el creyente la comunión de vida y de dinamismo espiritual. Sólo por medio de la palabra de Dios escuchada, creída y vivida, podemos conocer el verdadero significado de la Eucaristía. Esto es lo que Jesús nos muestra en este capítulo 6 de Juan. "Como el
Padre, que me ha enviado, posee la vida y yo vivo por él, así también el que me come vivirá
por mí" (Jn 6, 57). Y no cualquier clase de vida, sino una vida que nos permita sonreír, ser
felices en este mundo cansado de violencia y falta de Dios. Una vida que nos dé fuerzas para
evadir todos los obstáculos que se nos presenten por conservar unida a la familia, a los compañeros de trabajo y a la sociedad. Una vida con menos soledad y egoísmo entre nosotros. Una vida donde se viva la transparencia,
donde la mentira y la falsedad no tengan espacio. Una vida donde exista el poder decirle a la esposa, al esposo, perdóname, me
equivoqué. Para eso, para que tengamos una vida de calidad, es que Cristo nos ha dejado su carne en forma de pan y su sangre en
forma de vino en la Eucaristía. "El que come de este pan vivirá para siempre" (Jn 6, 58). Ojalá que al reflexionar estos domingos en
el significado del sacramento de la Eucaristía, la sabiduría de Dios llene nuestro corazón y nos haga crecer un poco más en su amor
y compartirlo entre nuestros hermanos y hermanas.
