From the Pastor’s Desk…. (6/28/15)
Both Jairus (the synagogue official) and the woman with the twelve years
affliction had reached the point where they had to take drastic action.
They approached Jesus in their distress and found new hope in Jesus. He
responded to a non Jew and to a woman, with compassion and healing.
The nameless woman had spent every dime she had on doctors who could
not help her. She did all she knew to do but all in vain. Now she was insecure, disappointed and frustrated. She had lost everything else but faith.
Jesus was her last hope. We learn from this Sunday’s Gospel passage that
whatever our situation of depression might be, turn to Jesus and find
hope in Him.
Jesus said to the woman: “Daughter your faith has saved you. Go in peace
and be cured of your affliction” (Mk 5:34). The last part of Jesus’ words
of blessing are “be cured of your affliction”. A more literal translation
would be, May you always remain healthy. May all who are dysfunctional
in their own ways receive this powerful blessing from our divine healer
Jesus the Lord.
New Music Director
Next month two new people are joining our parish staff. Ms. Cynthia
Macias is our new Director of Music. She has fifteen years’ experience as
music director in several Churches. I want to warmly welcome Cynthia to
St. Nicholas of Tolentine Parish. Please stop by to greet her. About the
other person I will let you know in my next week’s column. (Surprise!)
We welcome back Msgr. Gabriel Enuagha, who will be assisting us
again at the parish in the months of July and August.
Happy Fourth of July weekend. We celebrate and give thanks to God for
the gift of our freedom and independence. As Christians and citizen of the
world we are called to use our freedom in ways that help and heal other
rather than hurt and destroy them. May God help our nation to walk in the
way of peace and justice.
God bless you
Fr. John Francis
First Friday Eucharistic Adoration will be held on
July 3, 2015 starting after the 7:45 am Mass and ending with a bilingual Holy Hour at 7:30 pm, in the
Blessed Sacrament Chapel.

ThirteenTH Sunday in ordinary time
St. Nicholas of Tolentine Church is
having a Blood Drive on July 12th
from 8:00 am to 2:00 pm in Tolentine Hall. Please remember to eat/
sleep well and always to take good care of yourself. Below is some important information regarding how giving blood helps to save lives:
Red Cells - carry oxygen to the body’s organ &
tissues needed by surgery, trauma, cancer and
chemotherapy patients, accident, burn victims
and at-risk infants. Plasma - is the liquid
through which blood cells, proteins, enzymes,
nutrients and hormones “swim”. Platelets - act
like band-aids to form clots and stop bleeding. It
is very important to know that the blood is
perishable just like milk, red cells lasts for 42
days; platelets last for 5 days; plasma can be
frozen for up to a year.
All you need to bring is identification and
your love for your neighbor. We need everyone to help save lives .
REMEMBER—YOUR PINT CAN HELP 3
LIVES!!!
