St. Mary of the Valley - Saint Mary of the Valley Catholic Church

From the Desk of Fr. Bloom
July has been a great month for young people at St. Mary of the Valley. Besides our Parish Camp-Out we had two wonderful Vacation Bible Schools. The
Faith Formation section has a picture from our session in English. I would like to thank all the parents and young adults who worked to make the Bible
Schools such a success. I put a couple of other pictures on my bulletin board and on our online parish album: http://stmaryvalleybloom.org/
stmaryalbum.html
On July 23, we had a well-attended Youth Empowerment Morning. The picture shows part of the group at the conclusion of the Mass. At the center of the
picture you can see the painting of the Risen Christ by Peter Faulds. The painting graces our parish office.
The Knights prepared a delicious breakfast for the Youth Empowerment Morning. Below are some of the boys enjoying bacon, eggs and hashbrowns. That
same day at the regional Knights of Columbus Barbecue, our team took 2nd place chicken and 1st place pork and brisket. You will be seeing the first place
plaques in the parish hall. Our award winning Knights will be cooking the hamburgers and hot dogs for the Parish Picnic that begins at about 1 p.m. this
Sunday. At the Picnic we will have the World Youth Day Send-Off and Raffle. There will games for children provided by World Youth Day delegates. Please
come and bring your appetite!
Next Saturday we have the Soccer Tournament. I understand that we have as many as twenty teams. It should be quite an event. We will begin serving food
at around 10 a.m. Stop by any time before 1 or 2 p.m. to support our youth.
Our final event before World Youth Day will be the Quo Vadis movie on August 10, beginning at 6 p.m. At the intermission we will have pizza and Mexican
food available. All are welcome to join our youth that evening. Admission is free, but we will have a jar for donations.
We are close to reaching our goal to cover World Youth Day expenses. I received a nice
donation toward our “Last Supper” in Madrid. We are up to McDonald’s level, but I am
hoping to have enough for an authentic Spanish restaurant. Our final World Youth
Day collection will be at Masses next weekend. If by some chance we have a surplus, I
will put it in a reserve fund for upcoming youth pilgrimages: Peru Mission Trip in
December 2012 and World Youth Day 2014.
This Wednesday evening (August 3) at 7 p.m. we have Altar Server Training. Young
adults, high school students, and children who have made their First Communion may
become servers.
For sure you have noticed the renovation of our church restrooms. Most of the work
has been completed on the south restroom. John Lenac is working hard and we should
have the entire project finished within a few weeks. Thank you, John, for your great
work!

Padre Felipe
Julio ha sido un gran mes para los jóvenes de Santa María del Valle. Aparte de nuestro Campamento Parroquial tuvimos dos maravillosas Escuelitas
Bíblicas. Abajo se encuentra una foto de nuestra sesión en Inglés. Querría agradecerle a todos los padres y jóvenes adultos que trabajaron para
hacer la Escuelita Bíblica todo un éxito. Eh puesto mas fotos en pisaron localizado por la oficina y en nuestro álbum parroquial en el internet: http://
stmaryvalleybloom.org/stmaryalbum.html
El 23 de Julio, tuvimos una Mañana de Poder Juvenil muy bien atendida. La foto muestra parte del grupo en la conclusión de la Misa. En el centro de
la foto usted puede ver la pintura del Cristo Levantado hecho por Peter Faulds. La pintura agracia nuestra oficina parroquial.
Los Caballeros prepararon un desayuno delicioso para la Mañana de Poder Juvenil. Abajo se encuentra algunos de los chicos disfrutando de tocino,
huevos y sofrito de papa. Ese mismo día en el Barbacoa regional de los Caballeros de Colon, nuestro equipo tomó segundo lugar pollo y primer lugar
puerco y pecho. Verá las places de primer lugar en el salón grande. Nuestros ganadores de premios los Caballeros cocinarán las hamburguesas y
los perros calientes para el Picnic Parroquial que empieza aproximadamente a la 1 de la tarde este Domingo. En el Picnic nosotros tendremos la
Despedida de la Jornada Mundial de la Juventud y Rifa. Allí habrá juegos para niños proporcionados por los delegados de la Jornada Mundial de la
Juventud. ¡Venga por favor y traiga su apetito!
El próximo sábado tendremos el Torneo de Futbol. Mi entendimiento es que tenemos como veinte equipos. Va ser un acontecimiento. Empezaremos
sirviendo alimento alrededor de las 10 de la mañana. Venga a cualquier hora antes de la 1 o 2 de la tarde para apoyar a nuestra juventud.
Nuestro evento final antes de la Jornada Mundial de la Juventud será la película de Quo Vadis el 10 de Agosto, empezando a las 6 de la tarde. En la
intermisión nosotros tendremos pizza y comida mexicana disponibles. Todos están invitados en acompañar a nuestra juventud esa noche. La entrada
es gratis, pero tendremos un frasco para donativos.
Estamos cercano a alcanzar nuestra meta para cubrir los gastos de la Jornada Mundial de la Juventud. Recibí un donativo agradable hacia nuestra
"Ultima Cena" en Madrid. Estamos al nivel del McDonald's, pero espero tener suficiente para un restaurante español auténtico. Nuestra colección de la
Jornada Mundial de la Juventud será durante las Misas del próximo fin de semana. Si por alguna razón tenemos un superávit, yo lo pondré en un
fondo de reserva para peregrinajes de juventud : El Viaje de la Misión de Perú en Diciembre 2012 y para la Jornada Mundial de la Juventud 2014.
Este miércoles en la tarde ( 3 de agosto ) en 7 de la tarde tenemos el entrenamiento para los monaguillos. Jóvenes adultos, estudiantes de la prepa,
y los niños que han hecho su Primera Comunión pueden llegar a ser servidores.
Seguramente ha notado la renovación de
nuestros baños en la iglesia. La mayoría del
trabajo ha sido completado en el baño del
sur. John Lenac ha estado trabajando muy
duro y debemos tener todo el proyecto
terminado dentro de unas semanas. ¡Gracias,
John, para su gran trabajo!

F A I T H F O R M A T I O N Generations of Faith – Summer Edition
Handing On the Faith: Catechesis
Quite early on, the name catechesis was given to the totality of the Church’s efforts to make disciples, to help men believe that Jesus is the
son of God so that believing they might have life in his name, and to educate and instruct them in this life, thus building up the body of
Christ.
“Catechesis is an education in the faith of children, young people, and adults which includes especially the teaching of Christian doctrine
imparted, generally speaking, in an organic and systematic way, with a view to initiating the hearers into the fullness of Christian life.”
While not being formally identified with them, catechesis is built on a certain number of elements of the Church’s pastoral mission which
have a catechetical aspect, that prepare for catechesis, or spring from it. They are: the initial proclamation of the Gospel or missionary
preaching to arouse faith; examination of the reasons for belief; experience of Christian living; celebration of the sacraments; integration
into the ecclesial community; and apostolic and missionary witness. —Catechism of the Catholic Church, 4-6
If you’d like to join the Generations of Faith team for the next season, we’d love to have you. We are always looking for new
volunteers! Interested??? Call Kathy, 360 794-8945, ext. 13.
ST. MARY’S MENS’ STUDY GROUP
Women’s Bible Study --- Prophets & Apostles
All men of the parish are welcome to bring their
two-cents-worth or just to listen. For details see
the link to "Men's Study Group" on St. Mary's
website."
In our first eight week session, based on the Come & See series by
Fr. Joseph Poness, S.S.D., and Laurie Watson Manhardt, Ph.D.,
we explored John’s Letters, the Book of Habakkuk, James’ Letter,
and Paul’s Letter to the Galatians. Our first eight-week session is
finished. We all agree that this was time wonderfully spent and
feel that we have all grown in appreciation of the Scriptures and
the Catechism of the Catholic Church, not to mention fellowship,
enthusiasm for the next series and appreciation of a great potluck
dinner! If you missed this first series, don’t miss the second
eight-week session in the Fall, beginning Tuesday, Sept. 27th,
6:45-8:15pm. Order your workbook on-line through Amazon
or other websites.
**NEXT MEN’S STUDY GROUP: AUGUST 16TH AT 7:00 PM
ALTAR SERVER TRAINING
UPDATE
The training for Altar
Servers has been
changed to:
The Gabriel Project
The Gabriel Angel
Angels are called to give the love of Christ
to the mothers they help. Each Mom should
have her own Angel so she can receive undivided care and attention. Very often it is the
personal Christian witness of her Angel that
inspires Mom to seek Christ in her own life.
Angels befriend and minister to pregnant mothers throughout
their pregnancies and somewhat beyond.
Angels pray for Mom and encourage her at every stage of her
journey.
Angels keep the Coordinator informed about the well-being
of Mom and child.

HEY, KIDS! Happy Summer Vacation!
Now that summer is here, school is out and you have some
free time…if you’re in grades 1-5, this is a great time to finish your Called to Faith workbooks. There’s a lot to learn
about how much God loves you, about your faith, the sacraments, the saints, the Mass and your Church and you
don’t want to miss any of it, so get going and lets finish
them before school starts in the fall.

JULY 31, 2011
In the Gospel, Jesus says: “There is no
need for them to go away; give them
some food yourselves,” and taking the five
loaves and two fish, he blest them and
gave them to the disciples to feed the
crowd.
Like the story of the “loaves and fish”,
this month through your gifts to the Society of St.
Vincent de Paul was able to assist families, providing
in food, assistance with utility and rent bills, etc.
Thank You!

FROM THE GIFT SHOP...
Spending lots of time in your car this summer? We'd like to
suggest some ideas to bless your travels and bring a devotional
reminder and witness to your car interior. At parishioner request we've stocked St Christopher Auto Visor Clips in large,
bold pewter. Or you might prefer a delicate rear view mirror
Rosary of crystal beads with a tiny St Christopher or Divine
Mercy medallion. Come in and pick up some inspirational music on CD and stock your back seat with children's books that
might start up some "inspired" conversations. And for those
keys always in your hands? How about a pewter key ring with
a Gifts of the Spirit charm to remind you of those graces you
want to bring to your world.
