A BIG “THANK YOU!” TO OUR CENSUS VOLUNTEERS

A big THANK YOU to these volunteers: Homer & Sue Fetzer, Sylvia & Paul Biever, Irma Flores, Margie Bullock, Sylvia Castro, Dianne Sarfin, Dianne Quinlan, Dolores Valdez, & Helen McGrady. Your help has been invaluable!
We would also like to express our thanks to Olga Favela, Dolores Valdez, Becky Saenz, Amelia Contreras, and Irene Aurilio, whose help on the Census these past two months has helped us to cover more ground in less time than we would have thought possible!

R.C.I.A. Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults
Pentecost Sunday celebrates the day that Jesus visited with his disciples for the last time on Earth. He lets the disciples know that the Holy Spirit will be the Advocate that the Father will send to them in Jesus’ Name; “who will teach you everything and remind you of all that I told you”. This message is to tell us that He has sent the Holy Spirit to us to give us strength to do His will, and to go out and proclaim His Word. It is the Holy Spirit that energizes us in our faith. Pentecost is also the official completion of this year’s RCIA classes. It is the time when the RCIA team and Sponsors send forth our new Catholics to begin their new lives in our Faith Community. To finish off the year, we will be celebrating with a wonderful Agape Dinner this Tuesday to share memories and fellowship.
WE CONGRATULATE OUR PARTICIPANTS WHO RECEIVED THEIR CONFIRMATION LAST WEEKEND:
Rosario Beltran Cecilia Del Cid Joey Groff Manuel Mariaca Mariela Mariaca Lisa Mejia Branco Ortega Elizabeth Rengifo Joe Silvas Salena Rodriguez Jesse Trevino III Edgardo Troche Martha Valladares
Thanks to the RCIA team, to the dedicated sponsors who so willingly mentored their participants and the St. Luke Faith Formation team: Gloria Clayton, Fr. Jim, Fr. Jesus, our Deacons and our speakers for all their help this year. If you are interested in learning more about RCIA, please call The Faith Formation Office at 433-2777 ext. 138 or Martin Schott at 521-9079.
New classes will begin in September.
GUADALUPANO’S FATHER’S DAY ROSARY
Please join the Guadalupanos on our First Friday Rosary, June 1, at 6:30 p.m. in the St. Joseph Room, as we honor all fathers. Let us come together to pray the most beautiful Marian prayers that depict the Biblical life of Jesus. Pope John Paul II called the Rosary a “compendium of the Gospel message” in his Apostolic Letter Rosarium Virginis Mariae, published Oct. 16, 2002. The 5 Mysteries of Light, or the Luminous Mysteries, were added to the traditional Joyful, Sorrowful and Glorious Mysteries with the publication of this Apostolic Letter. For further information, contact Janie Vargas at 735-8282 or Edelia Martinez at 845-7935.
FIRST SATURDAY ROSARY-MAKING
We invite our parish community to join us on the first Saturday of each month in the St. Joseph Room from 1-4 p.m. to help with our Rosary-Making Ministry. The rosaries that are made are given out to our military and organizations in our parish community upon request and availability. Thank you for your support.
For more information, please call Albert Eisch at 508-1321.

Women of the Well Ministry Summer Book Club
The Women of the Well Ministry invites
you to participate in our annual summer
book club. Please journey with us and
allow the wisdom of Fr. Coutinho’s
words to unfold and beckon beyond a
limited perspective of God. Join us as we
seek a deeper awareness of lives, our God
and ultimately ourselves. How Big Is Your God? “How big is
your God? In other words, what limits have you placed upon
God in your life? If your experience of the Divine has become
static and predictable, or if you have a relationship with God that is small and confined, Paul Coutinho, SJ, invites you to believe
that God is bigger—much bigger! How Bid Is Your God? Is
Coutinho’s challenge to every person to grow deeper and
stronger in his or her faith be embracing a God whose love truly
knows no bounds.”
Tuesday June 5th, 12th, 19th and 26th Time: 6:30 – 8:30 p.m.
Place: St. Joseph’s Room
