LITURGY CORNER
Take Up the Cross
The cross has been a Christian symbol
of self-sacrifice and redemption from
at least the fourth century. The cross
leads processions and is venerated
with incense. A cross with a corpus is
to be on or near the altar during Mass,
which helps us relate to the sacrifice
Jesus made for our salvation. The
Cross celebrates Christ’s victory over
death and sin and is a symbol of triumph. Through prayer we encounter
the God who never forsakes us, who
strengthens us to face our daily crosses, and who encourages us to be faithful.

Effective July 1, 2016, the Diocese of Oakland will implement a new Safe Environment training called VIRTUS for both parish and school. After July 1,
TRAINING WILL NO LONGER BE AVAILABLE ON SHIELD THE VULNERABLE.
Therefore, ALL VOLUNTEERS will have to train using this new system. We
will provide a date and time for a workshop to train all volunteers. Please
check the bulletin for future announcements.
If you have any questions, please call the office (510) 373-5200.
Welcome the Stranger update
As time goes by and we are still unable to secure an apartment for this lovely little family, we are not
giving up or losing hope. We are disappointed again and again in this competitive market and are especially
disheartened to hear the owners say, “No foreigners can apply”. Reminds some of us of the welcome our
own relatives received when they first arrived. We have co-signers willing to take responsibility for a lease,
together with the newcomers. Meanwhile, these immigrants are still in the hotel, safe and comfortable,
although eager to have their own space. We greatly appreciate all the financial support from parishioners
that allows us to provide for them. Volunteers have found the dad a small job as well as potential work using
his skill as an interpreter. He now has a donated bike and all necessary equipment and is able to get around
town on his own. We have people taking them to needed appointments to qualify for some benefits they are
eligible to have. Members of the local Afghan community are also befriending them. Our volunteers are
supplying food and any other immediate need. We remain hopeful in looking for housing and have supplies
of furniture and household items ready. If anyone knows of an apartment to rent, we will be happy to hear
about it. We pray for blessings to all who continue to support with prayers as well as financial help.
There is a general meeting of all the volunteers scheduled for June 22 at 7:00 PM at St. Joseph Elementary
School. Please contact Anna Rossi, [email protected], with aid or questions.

Dear Parishioners,
One of the questions to parents during infant baptism is “You have asked to have your child baptized.
In doing so you are accepting the responsibility of training him/her in the practice of the faith… Do you
clearly understand what you are undertaking? The answer is always “We do”. Parents have shared the
gift of human life with their children and, through Baptism, have enriched them with a share in God's
own life. They have the duty to nourish it. Their faith, their attitude toward other human beings, and
their trust in a loving God strongly influence the development of the child's faith. Parents are catechists
precisely because they are parents. Their role in the formation of Christian values in their children is irreplaceable. They should speak naturally and simply about God and their faith, as they do about other matters they want their children to understand and appreciate.
Parents are also the most effective catechists of prayer for their young children. They know what their
children are capable of understanding and can easily teach their children basic prayers and the fundamental attitude of prayer. By praying frequently with their children at special moments during the day
and especially by praying with them at the Sunday Eucharist, parents introduce children into the prayer
life of the Church. By incorporating prayer into everyday family experiences, parents teach their children
by example. Their witness encourages their children to call upon God as their Father who loves and protects them; to look to Jesus, their Savior and brother, who leads them to the Father; and to
acknowledge the presence of the Holy Spirit, who dwells within their hearts.
Children ordinarily enjoy listening to their parents read to them and tell them stories. Reading stories
from Sacred Scripture combines both these simple activities. Just as children learn their family histories
through stories told by their parents, they learn about the Catholic faith as their parents introduce them
to the person of Jesus and the beauty of the word of God and tell them the story of Mary, the Mother of
God, as well as of the lives of the Saints.
While the catechesis offered within the family is ordinarily informal, unstructured, and spontaneous, it is
no less crucial for the development of the child's faith. In a certain sense nothing replaces family catechesis, especially for its positive and receptive environment, for the example of adults, and for its first explicit experience and practice of the faith. The catechesis of infants and young children nourishes the
beginnings of the life of faith. Let every parent remember the promise they made during the baptism, to
train their child in the practice of the faith.
Wishing you an abundance of God’s grace and peace,
Fr. Robert K Chinnapan
