Basilian Fathers Missions
The peace and joy of the Gospel be with you! As Pope Francis likes to remind us, the Good News of the Gospel is one of joy, the joy of knowing that we are all in the embrace of a God who knows us inti-
mately, loves us fiercely with a love beyond all telling, and has invited us to share life with him in eternal glory. Even when we fail, he never abandons us but is there to put us back together again with his for-giveness, love and mercy.
We are asking for your generosity and prayers to continue to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ. Your support will help the Basilian Fathers make others more aware of this great invitation to a live of joy and purpose. Please be generous and help us. God is never outdone in generosity and will surely bless your efforts. Please know that you are always in our prayers as you partner with us in spreading the Gospel. Scheduled for July 29, 2018 In gratitude for your support, Vince Dulock CSB
Director of the Basilian Mission Center

FESTIVAL OF MINISTRIES. . .
COMING SEPTEMBER 8 & 9!
Our Parish Stewardship Committee plans and presents the
Annual Renewal & Commitment Event – “Festival of Ministries”.
The event includes a series of focuses on Stewardship education
and celebration of ministries in the Parish.
Time, Talent and Treasure are discussed and commitments are
requested.
Why a Festival of Ministries?
Because the focus and center of our parish life is the Eucharist—where we are nourished at the table of the Lord and sent forth to fulfill God’s will in our lives.
Because Christian Stewards fulfill God’s will by responding to God’s call to share with others and return to the Lord with increase.
Because God’s stewards are called to be accountable, but
it’s more than that – it’s also being accountable for our brothers and sisters. We are called to witness our faith, to make a difference in people’s lives and to help others discover their
gifts for service.
Because the Festival of Ministries gives everyone the opportunity to fulfill their call to imitate Jesus by sharing their time, talents and treasure.
The Festival will be held after all Masses that week-end in
the Family Life Center.

joining 2,500 high school youth and youth leaders from
across the archdiocese for the Archdiocesan Youth
Conference (AYC). Please keep praying for everyone in-
volved with this amazing event! AYC will be held July 20th

It is an opportunity for our youth to grow their faith
through fun and fellowship. May God speak into the hearts
and lives of the Young Church.
AYC Fundraisers:
Thanks to your generosity, we were able to raise over
$1,100 for our high school Youth Ministry during the Jesus
Mosaics fundraiser! These funds will help to offset
expenses for AYC {see above}. Many of you expressed an
interest in these beautiful pieces of religious art… we will be
back for another fundraiser in November, ahead of the
Christmas season. As always, you can go to the website to
review the amazing artwork: www.jesusmosaics.com !
Looking ahead for School-Year Catechists: July may seem like a funny time to be thinking about school, but CCE never really stops… and we have already started planning for the school-year CCE program (Sept. - April). We offer three CCE sessions (Sunday afternoon, 3:00pm - 4:30pm / Tuesday evening, 6:00pm - 7:30pm / Wednesday evening, 6:00pm - 7:30pm ), and each one needs 50+ adult catechists to fully staff the classrooms. If you are a confirmed Catholic who loves their faith and likes kids, we need your help! This doesn’t happen without amazing people… would you be one of them? Please contact Mike Smith for more details.

the FLC. This will be your only remaining opportunity to
sign up your child(ren) before the start of classes in
mid-September. We will not register anyone in the Parish
CCE Summer Study was a huge success! 37 dedicated volunteer catechists taught 283 Elementary students. Truly, we could not have done it without you.

Breaking Open the Word for Families for The 15th Sunday in Ordinary Time By Ginger Herrington Reading 1: Amos 7:12-15 The king ordered the prophet Amos to flee to the Land of Judah. Amos answered that God had commissioned himtoprophesyto“MypeopleIsrael.”Althoughwetodaymaythinkthat“Judah”and“Israel”areinterchangeableterms,whenAmos was a prophet,“Judah”meantthesoutherntribewhichwasfaithfultoKingRehoboam,Solomon’sheir.“Israel”meanttherebelliousnorthern tribes which had broken from the kings in the line of David and followed Jeroboam instead. Jeroboam had set up his own temple in Bethel as a rival to Jerusalem’stemple,whichSolomonhadbuiltandwherethesoutherntribeofJudahworshipped.Prophetsareoftencalledtothe difficult task of alertingpeoplewhentheyarestrayingfromGod’spath;Amoswasnodifferent.Jeroboamdidnotwanttheprophettellinghimthat his rival temple was not the true temple. When we are all called to witness to the Truth, may the Lord give us the strength to do so.
Reading 2: From the Letter of St. Paul to the Ephesians 1:3-14 Be holy and without blemish before Him; exist for the praise of His glory. God has filled us with every spiritual blessing under Heaven and sealed us by His Spirit. He made Himself known to us throughout history by His prophets, and most definitively by His Son. God is love, and God loves us. He made us, He redeemed us, and our eternal destiny is to be joyful with Him forever. With the graces He gives us, we can be holy, peaceful, joyful, and Spirit-filled, for nothing is impossible with God. Cooperate with the graces the Lord pours out upon you, and inherit eternal happiness!
Gospel: Mark 6:7-13 Jesus summoned the Twelve and gave them authority. Jesus sent His Apostles out two by two to preach repentance, drive out demons, and heal the sick by anointing them with oil. By themselves, they could do nothing, but with the authority which Jesus gave them,theypowerfullyministeredasprieststoGod’speople.Weareblessedthatthispriestlyministrycontinuestoday,passed down from the Apostles to their disciples and on to others who have been ordained in Holy Orders.

La segunda lectura de la carta de San Pablo a los Efesios nos dice cuán bendecidos somos en Cristo porque fuimos elegidos desde el principio. Por lo tanto, nuestra existencia y nuestra fe no se basan en circunstancias fortuitas o accidentales, sino en la elección deliberada de Dios. Nuestra venida a la iglesia esta mañana es realmente una respuesta a la elección de Dios de nosotros. Él fue quien nos eligió primero y esa elección no se basó en nuestra inteligencia o dones extraordinarios sino en su amor por nosotros. "En el amor nos destinó a la adopción a sí mismo por medio de Jesucristo ..." (Efesios 1: 5).
Dios continúa eligiendo personas ordinarias para cumplir su misión. Esa fue la historia del profeta Amós en la primera lectura que fue llamado desde su lugar de trabajo ordinario de ser un pastor y un vestidor de sicómoro para ser el portavoz de Dios. En el evangelio, Jesús convocó a los Doce (pescadores ordinarios, recaudadores de impuestos y abogados) y los envió a predicar las noticias del Reino de Dios. Su autoridad para predicar no se basaba en su propio conocimiento o sabiduría, sino más bien en el mandato y el amor de Dios que les confió la misión. Han experimentado a Jesús y ahora es tiempo de que compartan esas experiencias con los demás.
Jesús nos da algunos principios de cómo hacer la obra misional en el evangelio de hoy. Él envió a los discípulos de dos en dos para enfatizar la importancia de la comunidad. Los cristianos son llamados a caminar el uno con el otro y apoyarse mutuamente en el camino de la fe. Nadie puede ir por el camino solo. Como cada cristiano está llamado a ser un misionero, debemos seguir el ejemplo del evangelio de hoy. Jesús les dijo a los discípulos que no llevaran comida, costal o dinero. Debían depender totalmente de Dios y de la generosidad de aquellos a quienes fueron enviados. Las cosas esenciales que debemos llevar con nosotros todo el tiempo son: nuestra convicción del poder salvador de Dios y el apoyo de la comunidad. Debemos notar que la verdad del mensaje de Dios no depende de su aceptabilidad o su popularidad. Hay cosas que pueden ser populares y aceptables pero que no son el mensaje de Verdad de Dios. Jesús les dijo a sus discípulos que no comprometieran el mensaje que les había dado. Si las personas escuchan el mensaje y hacen lo que se suponía que debían hacer, está bien. Si no prestan atención a las palabras, los discípulos deben seguir adelante y predicarlo a otras personas que estén dispuestas a escuchar.
Jesús compartió su trabajo con sus discípulos y hoy comparte el mismo trabajo con nosotros. Él nos ha elegido y nos ha bendecido, entonces debemos responder yendo a ser sus manos y pies a nuestro mundo. No tenemos que tener todos los grados teológicos antes de funcionar en la iglesia. La iglesia necesita corazones dispuestos y cálidos para llevar a cabo sus muchos ministerios. Si conocemos al maestro que nos envía, y estamos convencidos del mensaje de arrepentimiento, entonces estamos listos para partir. Sabiendo que El nos eligió a nosotros primero, no tenemos miedo
de elegirlo a cambio. Que nuestra fe se fortalezca y nuestros corazones sean lo suficientemente grandes como para dar nuestro tiempo y recursos para la difusión del Evangelio.
Fiesta de Santa María Magdalena: El próximo domingo 22 de julio es la fiesta de nuestra patrona, Santa María Magdalena. Dado que esta fiesta se celebra el domingo de este año, hemos obtenido el permiso del Cardenal DiNardo para elevar la fiesta a la solemnidad en nuestra parroquia reemplazando el 16º Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario de nuestra parroquia. Las lecturas para el próximo domingo serán apropiadas para la fiesta de Santa María Magdalena. Esta es una gran bendición para nuestra parroquia el tener la oportunidad de celebrar a nuestro patrón como una comunidad. Hace dos años, el Papa Francisco elevó la celebración de nuestro patrón de una ceremonia obligatoria a una fiesta. En su carta que afirma esta decisión, describió a Santa María Magdalena como el apóstol de los apóstoles. Habrá una recepción después de cada Misa la próxima semana para nuestro día de fiesta. Estamos contentos de que nuestro coro parroquial esté cantando a las 11am para esta fiesta especial también.
Recepción para el Padre Tony la próxima semana: Como ya saben, el Padre Tony se ira de nuestra parroquia para la parroquia de la Sagrada Familia en Las Vegas, diócesis de Las Vegas, Nevada, en las próximas dos semanas. Su asignación oficial comienza allí el 28 de julio. Por lo tanto, el próximo domingo será su fin de semana como nuestro pastor asociado. Combinaremos su recepción de despedida con la recepción del día de la fiesta parroquial después de todas las Misas de la próxima semana en el Centro de Vida Familiar. Sin duda amará sus amables palabras, oraciones y obsequios mientras se va a Las Vegas para el ministerio pastoral. Extrañaremos su calidez y su corazón alegre, pero confiamos en que Dios será su guía cuando nos deje el Padre Tony tengan por seguro que volverá a visitarnos pronto. Él todavía conducirá la peregrinación a Tierra Santa y Roma en noviembre, como estaba previsto.
