THE CROSS OF JESUS The perception of a cross changed dramatically

after Jesus’ crucifixion. Before that event, death on a cross

was not only horrible, it was degrading. It was a penalty

reserved only for the most wretched of criminals. The

word “glory” would not have found its way into the same

sentence containing the word “cross.” But all that changed

with Jesus. Over time, believers began to venerate and

honor the cross. They painted, sculpted, and carved images

of it. Many lost their own lives for their association with it.

Today our reverence for and relationship with the cross

recalls little of the contempt originally associated with it.

As it has been through the ages, it is our perception of the

cross that determines how we follow Jesus.© Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.

Hello everyone,

From the bottom of my heart I give thanks to God

and you for the kindness you have shown me in the

past two and half months during my stay here at St.

Patrick’s. I will always remember you especially be-

cause it was my very first experience living in a par-

ever want to come up and visit or write me a letter

SEMINARIAN GERMAN RODRIGUEZ

We have been very blessed to have German with us at St. Patrick’s.

He had a strong desire to learn as much as possible about what

goes on in a busy parish like ours. While he was here he helped

by assisting at Masses & funerals, attending ministry meetings,

including speaking at the Hispanic Youth Group. He also assisted

our hard working Outreach volunteers unloading trucks, packing

and distributing food. St. Patrick’s Church thanks you German and

wishes you God’s blessings as you continue on your journey to

becoming a priest. We will miss you.

SAYS GOOD-BYE TO ST. PATRICK’S

Thank you from St. Patrick’s Church

Twenty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time

Weekend of August 27/28, 2011 In today’s Gospel reading, Jesus brings up the topic

of the cross to his followers. They would not realize the cross

was part of God’s plan and was to be their legacy until after

the Resurrection. Today’s followers of Christ recognize they

are stewards of his entire legacy, including his cross; that

through their mutual sacrifices God’s glory is revealed. They

don’t live their life in Christ only when it is convenient for

them. They make a decision to take up their cross and carry

it, no matter what the cost. What crosses do we bear in order

to reveal God’s glory?

Les agradeceremos que nos ayude con lo si-guiente:

Crema de cacahuate, atún, cereal y

frijoles enlatados.

Gracias

Domingo Vigésimo Segundo del Tiempo Ordinario

Fin de Semana de Agosto 27/28 de 2011 En la lectura del Evangelio de hoy, Jesús menciona el temade

la cruz a sus seguidores. Ellos no sabían que la cruz eraparte

del plan de Dios y era su legado hasta después de

la resurrección. Los seguidores de Cristo en nuestros días,

reconocen que son corresponsables de su completo

legado, incluyendo su cruz; que a través de sus sacrificios

recíprocos la gloria de Dios es revelada. Ellos no viven su vida

en Cristosólo cuando es conveniente para ellos.

Ellos toman la decisiónde llevar su cruz y cargarla, sin

importar cual sea el costo.

¿Qué cruces sobrellevamos para revelar la gloria de Dios?

Usted puede llamar a la oficina parroquial al 489-2680 para dar el nombre de la persona que necesite oración.

LA CRUZ DE JESÚS La percepción de una cruz cambió dramáticamente

después de la crucifixión de Jesús. Antes de ese suceso, la

muerte en una cruz no era tan solo horrible, sino que era de-

gradante. Era un castigo reservado únicamente para los más

horrendos criminales. La palabra “gloria” no habría hallado su

lugar en una oración que contuviera la palabra “cruz”. Mas

todo esto cambió con Jesús. Con el pasar del tiempo, los cre-

yentes comenzaron a venerar y a honrar la Cruz. La pintaron,

esculpieron, y tallaron imágenes de la misma. Muchos perdie-

ron su vida por asociarse con ella. Hoy nuestra reverencia y

relación con la cruz poco recuerda el desprecio al que origi-

nalmente estuvo asociada. Con el curso de los años, es nuestra

percepción de la Cruz la que determina cómo seguimos a

Jesús. © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.

MERCY PRAYER GROUP… NOW FORMING

WHAT IS THE RITE OF CHRISTIAN

INITIATION FOR ADULTS - R. C. I. A.

This is a Faith journey for adults; non-baptized, baptized in other faiths,

and baptized Catholics who have not received the Sacraments of

Confirmation and Holy Communion.

If you fit one of these categories, the team invites you to join us as we discuss

Church Doctrine, Beliefs and Practices.

This is a time for discussion with questions and answers.

The next session is Monday, September 12, 2011

If you are interested, please contact

Jerri Fife

The Sisters of Mercy have been at St. Patrick’s for many years. After working with them during the 90’s I became very fond of their Foundress Catherine McAuley. I then began my formation to become a Mercy Associate with the Mercy Sisters of the Americas. I have been an Associate for ten years now and have decided to try and form a prayer group with the focus being the charisms (or gifts) of their foundress. Everyone is welcome.

Catherine McAuley, foundress of the Sisters of Mercy,

used her inheritance in service of the needs of her time. Today, Sisters of Mercy and Associates of Mercy use

their resources to respond to issues of global poverty demonstrated in the massive displacement of persons

worldwide...This vision keeps alive the founding spirit of Catherine among peoples of the world most in need

of God’s compassion and mercy.

I vision the group meeting once or twice a month praying with Catherine and finding out how we can live our lives in the service of others using resources such as her letters, biographies, essays, etc. written by people around the world who were inspired by her gift of Mercy to all, especially the poor. I am also open to suggestions you may have to make this group a possibility. If you would like more info or are definitely interested, please call or email me.

Blessings to all, Joan Lauriente/jhlaurie@pacbell.net

Volunteer to be an

RCIA Sponsor!

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a

liturgical rite of the Roman Catholic Church. The Rite

calls for a process that offers individuals who may wish

To enter into the Catholic Church an opportunity to

examine the faith in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere.

This process is also available to those who have been

baptized Catholic and wish to completetheir Catholic

Sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist.

RCIA is not a course or class in Catholicism. Rather, it

is a gradual, guided process of formation and conversion

leading participants towards initiation into the Catholic

Church.

Being a sponsor is like being a trusted friend. You share

what you can about your own faith journey.

Sponsors are supported by the RCIA Team.

Through RCIA we are building people of faith, just as

the apostles did!

EUCHARISTIC ADORATION

What will I experience at Eucharistic Adoration? Our experience of God’s presence can never be

adequately expressed in words. Jesus is light shining

into our darkness, healing our sorrows and our fears.

He is the bread that satisfies our spiritual hunger, and the brother

who reaches out to rescue us. No matter where we have wandered,

Jesus is always there to welcome us home. During his life on

earth, he laughed and cried. He died and journeyed to Hell. He

resurrected and prepared a place for us in Heaven. Christ remains

with us in everything, His spirit, His body, and His blood. During

our time in the chapel, we can surrender to His love, moment by

moment, and get to know Him better.

Our parish has Eucharistic Adoration in the Chapel every

Friday from 12:30—5:30pm

This year’s fundraising benefit dinner supporting the Conventual Franciscan Friars, will be
