DSA Collec on Next Weekend
There is one quarter le in 2016, and we have not yet
met our DSA assessment for the year. As you probably
know, any shor all must be paid by the parish out of our
opera ng income, and we don’t budget for a DSA
shor all! We are currently at 88% of our goal, a full 10%
behind the diocesan average. Next week we will have a
second collec on to try to make up this shor all. Please
take a moment to review the informa on later in this
bulle n about many of the programs that rely on DSA
funds. It is temp ng to say, “Well that doesn’t affect my
life.” But it actually does. The more we empower our
brothers and sisters in Christ to be er manage their lives
and take advantage of opportuni es we provide them,
the stronger our faith communi es will become, thus
enriching all of us.
Annual Parish Picnic Needs You!
Mark your calendars for Sunday, September 25
a er the 11:00 am Mass. It is me for us to come
together as a parish and fellowship with an a er‐
noon of food and fun. We are looking for volun‐
teers to help with set up, food prep, food prep,
food serving, face‐pain ng, ac vi es, and cleanup.
We also are looking for individuals who may have
connec ons to the use of a snow cone machine
and/or a dunking booth. Please sign up in the so‐
cial hall to volunteer, a end, and bring a dessert
and/or large side dish. Contact Bridget Babcock at

TREASURES FROM
OUR TRADITION
I
n recent decades, a en on has shi ed away from headgear
as a symbol of a bishop’s authority to a more substan al
symbol: the chair, called the cathedra. The word comes
from the La n word for a chair with armrests. It is exactly
the reason why dining room sets were marketed in this
country a few years ago with only one chair with armrests,
the captain’s chair. In many rectories of a certain vintage, you will see
only one chair with arms at the dining table, a sign to the assis ng priests
of their proper place in the constella on. For us, as with most Anglicans
and some Lutherans, the cathedra is a sign of the teaching authority of
the bishop. We inherited the symbolism of the chair from Roman civil life
in the fourth century. A church that houses a cathedra is called a cathe‐
dral, and the chair may be used only by the bishop of that diocese.
Priests who preside at liturgy there must use a different presiden al
chair.
You may find the cathedra in its most tradi onal place at the head of
the apse, or against a side wall as was favored in medieval mes, but
increasingly bishops are loca ng the cathedra in the midst of the assem‐
bly of the faithful. In the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels, visitors will
find no barrier to their trying out the cathedra, an expression of hospital‐
ity that helps the archbishop be mindful of those whom he serves.

Reflec ons
21st Sunday in Ordinary Time
August 21, 2016
Strengthen your drooping hands
and your weak knees.
Make straight paths for your feet,
that what is lame may not be disjointed
but healed.
‐ Hebrews 12:12‐13
DISCIPLINE
I
t is no accident that the words “disciple” and “discipline” are
nearly iden cal. Their rela onship in Chris an faith and life, how‐
ever, has fallen somewhat out of favor in the past genera on, as
certain prescribed Church rules and regula ons have been reduced and
relaxed. These rules were o en referred to as “disciplines.” We are mis‐
taken, however, to think that it no longer takes discipline to follow
Christ. The Le er to the Hebrews assures us of that today. Our discipline
is more like that of an athlete pursuing a victory or a personal best, or a
musician striving for a concert career or to master a new piece of music.
This discipline comes from desire, not from regula ons. It was the desire
to do the will of God that led Jesus on the path to his cross. It is that
same desire he encourages in us today: to strive to enter through the
narrow gate, to find ourselves in the kingdom with a surprising assort‐
ment of people who are there not because of mere observa on of rules,
but out of a genuine desire to recline at the table of the heavenly ban‐
quet.

Society of St. Vincent de Paul
There are so many things we take for granted.
When we go into the bathroom we know we will
have soap, shampoo, toothpaste, deodorant, and so
forth.
These are not items that can be purchased with food stamps.
It would be nice if we could offer these items to our clients, espe‐
cially to, for example, the widows whose husbands did not have
pensions. One such widow gets $16 per month in food stamps,
which buys precious li le of these kinds of items. Add in toilet pa‐
per and laundry detergent and you can see that $16 simply doesn't
stretch that far.
We normally don't ask you to bring in items except during our St.
Joseph's Table food collec on and our paper and cash drive in Octo‐
ber for our holiday food baskets.
May we ask you now for some help with these toilet goods and laundry supplies? We and our clients would greatly appreciate
your generosity.
We were able to loan a wheelchair to a parishioner to help make
her life a li le easier. And we s ll have one more to loan out to any‐
one in need.
Please know that we are so thankful for the help you give us to help
support our work. You are such faithful partners, and again, we
couldn't do what we do without you.

The li le saying of Pope Francis stayed with
me, such as: “Lord, help us to jump into the
adventure of mercy” and “Without mercy, we
can do nothing.” Mercy shows us challenges
and sufferings are true gi s, and chances to
show mercy. The goal is to be joyful in trials
and tribula ons. “God is calling me closer to
Him and other, to spread His mercy more and
more. It is seeing the purpose of suffering for
the greater glory of God.”
World Youth Day Krakow 2016:
Andrew Torres Interview
What were you most looking forward to about World Youth Day,
and did it meet your expecta ons?
Pope St. John Paul II is my favorite saint. Being in his homeland, walk‐
ing the streets where he walked, and being physically in his footsteps
was what I was most looking forward to. The actually experience of
this exceeded my expecta ons. I got to see Poland and Polish culture
through his eyes, and how he was influenced by it. I saw the bap s‐
mal font where he was bap zed, and a clock he looked at every day
during breakfast that had a quote which heavily influenced him while
he grew up. It said: “Time flies, eternity dwells.” This shows how
much culture affects us as individuals.
What were other favorite moments on the pilgrimage?
Travelling to see Pope Francis! We saw him many mes very close.
Travelling to Prague was also a favorite, including the absolutely
beau ful church of Sts. Cyril and Methodius. The beauty inside and
out was amazing! It was most stunning.
What was the main importance of World Youth Day for you?
Experiencing culture is “super cri cal”. No cing how culture and lan‐
guage influence how they [Polish] worship and live the Faith in their
daily lives. It is crucial to no ce how culture impacts our faith every‐
where. Reading Gaudium et Spes beforehand shows the influence of
Polish culture on Pope St. John Paul II.
What were your experiences of Polish culture?
Driving through Polish neighborhoods showed Catholicism: there
were shrines on every corner and the people were excited to wel‐
come us. It was quite hot at mes and residents were ready to cool
hot pilgrims down with a hose, or to give drinks. They were very wel‐
coming.
How has World Youth Day impacted your outlook on life and your
plans?
What would you tell other youth about
World Youth Day?
World Youth Day is an incredible experience
of one of the four marks of the Church: our
catholic/universality: to experience universali‐
ty on a physical level. It shows that there are
many, many millions of Catholics out there
and encouraged me to spread the message of
the Gospel. It is definitely worth inves ng in.

Comments about the Interfaith and Presbyterian House Kick‐off Even on August 12
I went to the Kick‐Off event so that I could see the people who will be ge ng these homes and meet some folks from Habitat that
we are in contact with as a result of our par cipa on in the program. I was very impressed by how many people are involved, and
especially by how many volunteer year a er year. There was one man there that is 102 years old!
Watching the (first) wall being raised was exci ng. And we all were encouraged to write on the inside of that unfinished wall, and
we did so, expressing good wishes for the family who will be moving into the house when it is finished.
