Twenty-First Sunday in Ordinary Time August 23, 2015 Joshua confronts the tribes of Israel: Will you desert your covenant with Yahweh? The desertion of disciples is a prelude to the paschal mystery. With Peter, however, let us profess our faith in the Lord, who gave Himself up for us all.

My name is Deacon Hans Mueller, and I will be serving here throughout the coming year. I’d like to share a little bit about myself as I begin this year of ministry and learning. I was born and raised in a wonderful Catholic family in Salem, Oregon. I am the third of eight children, and I was homeschooled up until high school. I attended North Salem High School, and then went to college at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA, where I received my Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering. In 2005 I joined Reach Youth Ministry as a volunteer retreat leader, and I spent two wonderful years travelling to parishes and giving retreats for mid-high and high school teens. I then took a job as a full time Coordinator of Youth Ministry at St. Anne’s in Grants Pass (where I first worked with Fr. Ron). At the end of my second year at St. Anne’s, while helping out with two back-to-back week-long retreats, I felt God calling me to enter the seminary. I spent one more year in Grants Pass while I worked through the application process, and in the fall of 2010 I entered the seminary. I spent the following two years at Mount Angel Seminary, praying, being formed, and studying philosophy. Archbishop Vlazny then asked me to go to Rome for my theological studies, and I have been there for the past three years, living at the North American College and studying at the Gregorian University. And that brings us to the present, and I look forward to spending this coming year at St. Mary’s and learning about your community and your faith journeys. In Christ, Dcn.

RCIA SPONSORS Would you like to be considered for the privilege of walking with a candidate through the RCIA process? Being a sponsor is an important and integral part of this process. A sponsor puts a human face on the Church, in other words, it allows the candidate to have a lay person’s perspective of what it means to be Catholic. Qualifications do not include being a theologian but requires only a warm hearted person to relate his/her love of Christ and His Church with a candidate journeying to the Easter Sacraments. For further information or to sign up please contact Geri Heideman, the new RCIA Sponsor Coordinator at 541-517-2779, or Deacon Tom at 541-342-1139.

EXCERPTS FROM THE BOOK “REBUILT” By Fr. Michael White and Tom Corcoran Forward by Cardinal Timothy Dolan Rebuilt is simply the story of a parish written from the perspective of a parish priest and a lay minister. Fr. Michael White, whom I have known for many years, and his Pastoral Associate, Tom Corcoran, write with remarkable honesty and humor, telling us about what happened to them. Through trial and error, success and failure, and with some unexpected experiences along the way, they learned a lot about parish life. Most of all, they learned to fall in love with their parish. From beginning to end, the authors provide valuable and useful approaches that are easily transferable to other parish settings. It is a rich resource for pastors, pastoral staffers, and parishioners alike. But more than that, this is a book that takes the New Evangelization seriously and points the way forward for others to do the same. The authors clearly have great room in their hearts for Catholics who no longer practice their faith. This is a group that is growing in our country—a sad fact that demands our attention and deserves our very best efforts to reverse the trend and bring them home. We need an evangelization strategy that is intentionally focused on former Catholics, at the parish level. Moving forward, such a strategy will more and more become the critical and key question in parish life. This book shapes an answer to that question, and it works. Because of that, Rebuilt is one of the most important books for parish ministry in our generation. We will provide continual excerpts from this book in our weekly bulletin when space allows.

La Biblia deja claro que los cristianos tienen una seguridad moral de salvación (Dios permanecerá fiel a su palabra y otorgará la salvación a los que tienen fe en Cristo y le son obedientes (1 Jn 4:19-24), pero la Biblia no enseña que los cristianos tienen una garantía del cielo. No puede haber una garantía absoluta de salvación. Al escribir a los cristianos Pablo dijo: “Mira, la benignidad y la severidad de Dios; la severidad ciertamente para con los que cayeron, pero la benignidad para contigo, si permaneces en esa benignidad; pues de otra manera tú también serás excluído.” (Ro 11:22, Mt 18:21-35, 1 Co 15:1-2, 2 P2:20-21). Observa que Pablo incluye una condición importante “si permaneces en la benignidad.” Él está diciendo que los cristianos pueden perder su salvación al desecharla. Él advierte: “Así que, el que piensa estar firme, mire que no caiga” (1 Co 10:12) Campaña “Primeros 1000 Días” Cultura de Iniciativa Católica de Vida Donde todos son acogidos y amados por la misericordia (día 161) “Entre los más vulnerables para quienes la Iglesia quiere cuidar con especial amor y preocupación son los niños no nacidos, los más indefensos e inocentes entre nosotros."

El Espíritu es quien da la vida, la carne para nada aprovecha, las palabras que les he dicho son espíritu y vida y a pesar de esto, algunos no creen” Entonces muchos de sus discípulos volvieron a su forma de vida anterior y ya no acompañaron a Jesús. ¿Qué significa para ti cuando Jesús dice que su carne y sangre son verdadera comida y bebida? ¿Cómo te ayuda a ti recibir la verdadera comida y bebida de la que Jesús habla?

La Iglesia Católica enseña claramente que el uso de anticonceptivos es inmoral (también así lo enseñan los judíos, ortodoxos y protestantes). Además diferentes anticonceptivos como la píldora, implantes, inyecciones y el DIU, pueden causar abortos tempranos, es decir, pueden impedir que el bebe recién concebido se implante en el útero de su mamá. La Liga de Pareja a Pareja es una organización de voluntarios, fundada en 1971, dedicada a promover y enseñar sobre la PNF. Esto lo hacen mediante la capacitación profesional de parejas de esposos que comparten con otras parejas su conocimiento y experiencias personales con el Método Sintotérmico, la Paternidad Responsable y Lactancia. Requisitos para el Curso: ~ La pareja tiene que asistir al curso, desde la primera clase (sin excepción). ~ El curso tiene un costo de $55.00 (incluye el material de estudio) más una donación de $15.00, por pareja. ~ El curso consta de 3 clases y serán las siguientes fechas: Sábado, Septiembre 19 @ 5:00pm - 8:00pm Sábado, Septiembre 26 @ 5:00pm - 8:00pm Sábado, Octubre 24 @ 5:00pm - 8:00pm Lugar: Iglesia Católica Santa María de Eugene (St. Luke room) Para mas información por favor contactar a : Aracely y Edward Gonzalez (541)206-4849/2064892.
