Today’s Gospel is one of the most difficult to understand because it seems to portray Jesus as remote and unfeeling. If we look deeper, we see that what the Canaanite woman did was to challenge the boundaries of the day. Her persistence was based on the most fundamental of human life situations. Her daughter was ill. When illness strikes, we care not whether someone who can offer healing is within our established boundaries. In healing the woman’s daughter, Jesus, for his part, also broke down the social barriers of the day. As we prepare to listen to God’s word today, let’s first examine our own established boundaries. What boundaries might God be challenging us to break down? From Saint Margaret Sunday Missal, copyright © J. S. Paluch Company Tuesday, August 19 St. John Eudes 10:00 AM Art Docents (Crespi) GOOD EXAMPLE A faithful Christian, illumined by the rays of grace like a crystal, ought to illumine his neighbor with the light of good example, through word and deed.

They return to the main assembly and their parents in time for the Liturgy of the Eucharist. The Diocese of Monterey’s guidelines for First Communion require that a first grade student who plans to receive First Communion as a second grader, needs to participate in faith formation as a six year old and/or first grader. The goal of Children’s Liturgy of the Word is to help children engage meaningfully in the Liturgy, thus beginning a lifelong practice of praying, learning, and celebrating at Mass. First Communion preparation is a two year program, usually beginning in the first grade, but can begin when the child is older. For more information, call the Office of Faith Formation, 6241271, ext. 216, or email, [email protected] If you wish your child to begin the First Communion preparation classes, please contact the Faith Formation Office, 624-1271, ext. 216 or [email protected]. Explore the Catholic Faith Sessions to explore the Catholic Faith are now beginning. Two groups are now forming: ADULT RCIA FAMILY RCIA ADULT RCIA is for adults interested in the possibility of Baptism and full membership in the Catholic Church. It is also for those previously baptized and who wish to discern the possibility of full membership in the Catholic Church. FAMILY RCIA is for children of the age of reason (seven years or older) who are interested in the possibility of Baptism and full membership in the Catholic Church. One or more parents attend the sessions with their child. Both groups will begin with an Inquiry period, followed by preparation for Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation, if so desired by the candidate. Anyone who is interested in discerning Baptism and full membership in the Catholic Church is welcome to join in one of these groups. For further information, please call Sally Greig, 624-1271 ext 216 or [email protected]. Carmel Mission Book Club Now Starting Pope Francis’ Joy of the Gospel is the first book of the newly forming book club and discussion group being facilitated by Deacon Bill. We meet on Saturdays at 2pm, in Mac Mahon Center with discussion and sharing sessions for the following five Saturdays: August 16: The Crisis of Communal Commitment August 23: Proclamation of the Gospel (we are all missionary disciples) August 30: Social Dimension of Evangelization September 6: Spirit-filled Evangelizers It isn’t necessary to attend all the sessions; one session doesn’t build on another, so plan on attending as many as you can. Free snacks, coffee/tea, soft drinks available. Please call Sally at the Faith Formation Office if you’re interested, 624-1271 x216, or [email protected] so we can order the book for you. There is no fee; a goodwill offering will be requested to cover the cost of the book.

The prophet had warned of God’s judgment against people for the feelings of self-importance they found in their possessions, and condemned them for various forms of economic injustice such as exploiting the poor and immigrants. Good stewards know that Isaiah’s message is as compelling today as it was in the time of the kingdom of Judah: Do the right thing. Offer justice and compassion toward others. Be honest in all your dealings. And remember to observe the day of the Lord.

We hope to see you there! Top 10 Reasons You Should Join the Choir: 10. It¹s exactly like singing in the shower, except you¹re wearing a robe and people are actually listening. 9. Intellectual stimulation – when you make music, you are using both sides of your brain simultaneously. 8. Friends! You will no longer be able to complain, “Church is so impersonal – I don’t know anyone in my parish.” 7. You have a guaranteed, reserved seat for both Christmas and Easter. 6. Wearing a robe eliminates making the difficult decision of what to wear on Sunday. 5. The ushers never pass the collection plate to the choir. 4. It is one of the few activities that do not require electronic equipment, expensive power tools, or shopping. 3. Rehearsals are Thursday night, so for an hour you’ll reduce the risk of developing tendonitis from nonstop operation of a television remote control or computer mouse. 2. Singing is heart healthy and there are no monthly membership fees and no sore muscles. READINGS FOR THE WEEK Monday: Ez 24:15-24; Dt 32:18-21; Mt 19:16-22 Tuesday: Ez 28:1-10; Dt 32:26-28, 30, 35cd-36ab; Mt 19:23-30 Wednesday: Ez 34:1-11; Ps 23:1-6; Mt 20:1-16 Thursday: Ez 36:23-28; Ps 51:12-15, 18-19; Mt 22:1-14 Friday: Ez 37:1-14; Ps 107:2-9; Mt 22:34-40 Saturday: Ez 43:1-7a; Ps 85:9ab, 10-14; Mt 23:1-12 Sunday: Is 22:19-23; Ps 138:1-3, 6, 8; Rom 11:33-36; Mt 16:13-20 1. “Singing is praying twice!” (St. Augustine) ~ Enough said! So why haven’t you joined the choir? Choir rehearsals have resumed after our summer break Why not come to a Thursday night choir rehearsal from 7:30 – 9:00 p.m. in the Basilica and see for yourselves how much fun it is to be a member of the choir. Questions? Please email Kathy Anderson @ [email protected] Carmel Mission Museum Store News from Junipero Serra School Monday, August 18th, our school year officially begins with the arrival of teachers and other staff members who will spend the week preparing for the arrival of our students the following Monday. Over the last few weeks I have tried to share my initial impressions of Junipero Serra School with you and to highlight the central elements of a Catholic school education and the role of the Catholic School educator. This weekend I want to outline a major focus for this school year at JSS. As most of you are probably aware, all schools in the state of California periodically do a formal review of their programs, identifying areas of strength and areas for future growth. The self-study incorporates all aspects of the program (curriculum, governance, school organization, student support services and activities, and material resources). All stakeholders are asked to participate in the process by providing feedback on their experience of the school. Most California schools are accredited through the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). Catholic elementary schools are accredited by the Western Catholic Educational Association (WCEA), an organization which actually predates WASC, while Catholic secondary schools are dually accredited by both WCEA and WASC. In the case of Catholic schools, the self -study documents also evaluate how well the school lives out its Catholic identity in prayer, service, sacramental opportunities, and religious instruction. Junipero Serra begins its self-study year this fall as we prepare for a three-day visit by a group of educators from Catholic and public schools in February or March of 2016. The process, as you can imagine, is extensive, and the goal is to affirm all that is good in our schools and to target precisely the key areas that will be most critical for improving student learning as we move ahead in the 21st century. I want to take this opportunity to thank those of you who have stopped by or who have communicated a warm welcome via email or a quick word. Next week you will be hearing from two other voices at JSS, Kacey Konya, our Student Council President, and Mrs. Becky Craig, 6th grade teacher and Student Council moderator. “Glory be to God whose power working in us can do infinitely more than we can ask or imagine” (Ephesians 3:20a) Mary Ellen Ryan (831) 624-1271, Ext 210 http://www.carmelmissiononline.org/ Hours: 9:30AM—7:00PM Notice: Tomov Icons Toma Tomov is returning home to Bulgaria for health reasons.
