2 St. Brigid Church 19th Sunday in Ordinary Time 08-07-2011 Did you know?

Bullying Is a Form of Abuse Did you know that bullying is a form of abuse, and therefore is forbidden in our Catholic schools? Bullying typically consists of direct behaviors, such as teasing, taunting, threatening, hitting, shoving and stealing. But it might also be indirect, such as spreading rumors that cause victims to be socially isolated through intentional exclusion. Cyber-bullying, which involves the use of the Internet or mobile phones to send inappropriate messages and images to or about others, is also behavior that is not tolerated in our Catholic schools. If you suspect bullying of a child at school, please contact the school principal with your concerns.

For particular help, you may call Assistance Ministry at (213) 637-7650.

Hostigamiento Es Una Forma De Abuso Sabia usted que el hostigamiento (bullying) son formas de abuso y son prohibidas en nuestras escuelas Catolicas? El hostigamiento típicamente consiste en bromas pesadas, burlas, amenazas, golpes, empujones, y robo. Pero también pude incluir el lanzamiento de rumores que pueden causar que la víctima sea intencionalmente excluida socialmente. El acoso cibernético, que implica el uso de la Internet o los teléfonos celulares para enviar mensajes o imágenes inapropiadas de personas o a personas, también es comportamiento prohibido en nuestras escuelas Católicas. Si usted sospecha que algún estudiante es víctima de hostigamiento, inmediatamente comunique sus preocupaciones al principal de la escuela.

Para obtener ayuda, llame a la Oficina del Ministerio de Ayuda al (213) 637-7650.

8 St. Brigid Church 19th Sunday in Ordinary Time 08-07-2011 From the Pastor’s Desk

The WORD OF GOD- “O ye of little faith, why did you doubt”. Whether face to face with God as Elijah was or in the storms of life, Jesus is present. After hearing last week that there is nothing that can separate us from the Love of God, the scriptures indeed focus the reality of our openness, our acceptance, and our appreciation of God’s presence in our daily lives. What a precious power, a precious strength we have available to us! God wants to be right there with us every day and not “just when we need him”. All we have to do is say yes and act on it every minute of every hour!

On behalf of Fr. Keke and the Altar Servers and their Adlt leaders, we want to thank those who were able and did contribute $1230 thus far for replacing of the Altar Server Robes. Please know that it is not too late to donate. Our New Pastor to be announced Today! We welcome him and look forward to his transitional visit this week. We welcome Fr. John Harfmann SSJ who arrives this week for his annual visit to California. Next Sunday, August 14th is T-Shirt Sunday! It is our annual summer celebration of the good news in our lives. Remember those T-Shirts or Polo’s that have a message of education, family reunion, charitable cause, or just cause that enables us to witness to good news and not the negativity that so often overshadows our society. Also, if you or someone in your family has been recognized for some achievement that makes a difference in the lives of others, bring and share it. Please note and pass the word around. Sunday August 28th, we will have a 10 AM Unity Mass to celebrate the Dedication of our school classrooms in honor of the parish Heroes, Heroines, and Saints of St. Brigid over the past 30 years and for you and I to say our goodbyes as I move to Washington, DC and assume my responsibilities as Consultor General of the Josephites and Administrator of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish. Let us give thanks for the blessings of the past and present as we come together and celebrate as a parish. Please note there will be No 7, 8:30 or 10:30 AM Masses that Sunday.
