Even though it is a great message for our children, it may be a great lesson for adults as well. At their November 2007 meeting the US Catholic Bishops issued a very warm and friendly message to Catholic teenagers entitled, Stewardship and Teenagers: The Challenge of Being a Disciple. That statement included many recommendations that are important for our young people and for Catholics of all ages. Here are just a few of the Bishops’ recommendations: Choose a time every day for prayer, by yourself or perhaps in front of the Blessed Sacrament. Find the time that seems most sacred for you, and take that time to spend alone with God. If possible, attend the Eucharist more than once a week. Trust us! God is always there, waiting to hear from you and wanting you to know of his unconditional love for you. Seize every opportunity to show God’s love through your random acts of kindness: an encouraging word, a pat on the back, a helpful hand. Be present to the people in your life, especially your family. Offer to help. Practice saying “yes.” Seek opportunities to participate in your parish or faith community as a greeter, altar server, lector, extraordinary minister of Holy Communion or assistant in the religious education department. Decide to give a certain percentage of money to your parish each week. As you live with this decision, you will grow into a lifelong habit of generosity. Those who wish to read the Bishops’ entire message may access it by going to www.usccb.org and searching “Stewardship and Teenagers.” Blessings to all! Sincerely Francisco Ortega Pastor CLOTHING DRIVE We will have our monthly clothing drive next weekend, July 30/31. Please remember to bring all clothing donations to the white clothing box outside in the parking lot (courtyard). The box is labeled St. Vincent de Paul—Clothing Only!

The Response of the Gospel of Mercy “The war in Syria has killed as many as 250,000 Syrians, and has uprooted more than 11 million people. Children, who make up more than half of Syrian refugees in the Middle East, are paying the heaviest price: many have witnessed violence and the loss of homes or loved ones; the vast majority have been out of school for years.” -Source: Catholic Relief Services ACTION: Ask Congress to provide funding for povertyfocused international humanitarian assistance & fulfill our nation’s commitment to help Syrian & other refugees.

Pope Francis & Religious Freedom “We cannot deny that intolerance towards those with different religious convictions is a particularly insidious enemy, one which today is being witnessed in various areas around the world. All believers must be particularly vigilant so that, in living out with conviction our religious and ethical code, we may express the mystery we intend to honor.” - September 23, 2014 2017 MASS BOOK The 2017 MASS INTENTION BOOK will be opening on Wednesday, August 17th, 2016.

Q ueridos hermanos y hermanas en Cristo: No duden en compartir este artículo con sus hijos en casa! A pesar de que es un gran Notas mensaje para nuestros hijos, puede ser una gran lección para los adultos también. del Párroco En su reunión de noviembre de 2007, los Obispos Católicos de Estados Unidos emitieron un mensaje muy cálido y amigable para adolescentes católicos titulado, “Mayordomía y adolescentes: el reto de ser un discípulo”. Esa declaración incluye muchas recomendaciones que son importantes para nuestros jóvenes y para los católicos de todas las edades. Éstas son sólo algunas de las recomendaciones de los Obispos: • Elije un momento cada día para la oración, por sí mismo o tal vez al frente del Santísimo Sacramento. Encontrar el momento en que parece más sagrado para ti, y tomar ese tiempo para estar a solas con Dios. • Si es posible, asiste a la Eucaristía más de una vez a la semana. ¡Confía en nosotros! Dios siempre está ahí, a la espera de saber de ti y querer que sepas de su amor incondicional por ti. • Aprovechar cada oportunidad para mostrar el amor de Dios a través de sus actos de bondad al azar: una palabra de aliento, una palmada en la espalda, una mano de ayuda. • Estar presente con las personas en su vida, especialmente tu familia. Ofrece tu ayuda. Practica el decir "sí". • Busca oportunidades para participar en tu parroquia o comunidad de fe como recepcionista, monaguillo, lector, ministro extraordinario de la comunión o asistente en el departamento de educación religiosa. • Decide dar un cierto porcentaje de dinero para tu parroquia cada semana. Cuando practicas esta decisión, se convierte en un hábito de por vida con generosidad. Aquellos que deseen leer todo el mensaje de los Obispos puede encontrarlo entrando al sitio: www.usccb.org y busca "Mayordomía y adolescentes." Bendiciones! Sinceramente Fr.

Heavenly Father, Look upon our brothers and sisters who are ill. In the Midst of illness and pain, may they be united with Christ, who heals both body and soul; may they know the consolation promised to those who suffer and be fully restored to health. We ask this in the name of Jesus the Lord. If you or one of your loved ones wish to be included on or taken off the sick list each month, please call the Rectory at 344-0757.
