October 11, 2015
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
I saw this reflection by Fr. Kenneth E. Grabner, CSC in Living with
Christ, published by Bayard, Inc., and wanted to share it with you.
ALL IS POSSIBLE WITH GOD
“You are lacking in one thing. Go, sell what you have,
and give to the poor and you will have treasure in
heaven; then come, follow me.” (Mark 10:21)
How wonderful to receive an invitation like this! But the man Jesus invited was rich, and
his wealth prevented him from doing what Jesus asked. This gospel story prompts us to ask if
there is something that keeps us from following Jesus. Perhaps Jesus asks us to let go of our
anger and our fear or our selfishness. These are all things that would keep us from following
him with free and loving minds and hearts.
The rich man refused Jesus’ invitation and so lost the chance to change his life. Of course,
it would have been hard for him to give up his wealth, just as it may be hard for us to give up
our particular attachments. But Jesus tells us in this gospel that what is impossible for us, is
possible for God.
Lord, I trust in your power to help me follow you as you will.
Peace, Fr. Mark.
Question for reflection: What item, person or possession keeps you from following Jesus?

different ministries and
requirements that our parish has

Inquiries are free—the rewards

FEAST OF ALL SOULS BOOK OF
REMEMBERANCE NOVENA OF SOULS
This year we are compiling a
Book of Remembrance for all our
family members and friends who have
preceded us to the Kingdom.
If you would like to have the
name of a friend or family member listed in the Book of
Remembrance and in our Novena at Masses from
November 1-10, we ask that you PRINT the names on the
All Souls envelopes and return them to the collection
basket or Parish Center.
All Souls envelopes are in the pews & by the doors.
TOGETHER IN MISSION
Do you have an unpaid pledge to Together in
Mission?
Did you forget to pledge?
It’s not too late to do so.
Our parish goal is $88,700—10% of our annual
2014 Sunday collections.
Currently the amount pledged by parish families is
$82,329.50 and amount paid is $73,054.50.
We still have $15,645.50 to reach our goal.
We have received contributions from only 291 families out
of approximately 2450 families registered at our Parish—
only 11%! I think we can do better.
Envelopes for the Together In Mission
campaign are located in the pews.

MINISTERS

(2) nights of liturgical formation/education/training.
These nights are HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
opportunities to participate in our liturgical ministry for
both new and returning Liturgical Ministers. This
formation is for Eucharistic Ministers, Ushers, Lectors,
Musicians and all involved in Sunday liturgy.
These nights are hosted by Kathy Lindell. Kathy
served for over 15 years in the LA Archdiocesan Office
for Worship. She is currently an adjunct staff member in
the Diaconate Formation process for the Archdiocese of
Los Angeles. Kathy developed the first liturgical
ministry certification in the Diocese of Orange and
currently aids in the development of education for
liturgical leadership in the Diocese of San Bernardino.

BABY SHOWER FOR CRSIS
PREGNANCY CENTERS
The Respect Life
Ministry will be
collecting donations
for our local pregnancy
centers the weekend of
October 24 & 25.
These centers, which
rely entirely on
donations, help women
with unexpected pregnancies choose
life.
You may drop your donations
off in the vestibule or at our table
outside church after any mass.
Items needed include diapers,
formula, layette items, new or gently
used clothing (newborn—3T), & baby
toiletry items. A larger donation of a
new car seat would be greatly
appreciated as babies cannot be
discharged from the hospital without
one. Gift cards to Target, Wal Mart, &
Babies 'R Us are also helpful.
It takes courage for a woman in an
unplanned pregnancy to choose life so
let's help support these women & the
centers that serve them. Please contact
Cindy Lamberti with any questions at
626-914-2101.

ST. DOROTHY CHURCH
RESPECT LIFE MONTH
October is Respect Life Month within
the Catholic Church. The purpose of
Respect Life Month is to help us open our
hearts and reflect on how God might be
calling each of us to witness the sacredness
of human life and assist in pro-life efforts.
Each week we will feature “snippets” from a respect
life article. While abortion may be the most talked about
life issue, the call respect life does not end there.
Respecting life means to stand against the death penalty,
care for the poor, defend life until natural death, and work
to end instances where all life is not treated with dignity.
This week we will look at the death penalty.
THE DEATH PENALTY & CATHOLIC
TEACHING
For people committed to upholding the sanctity of
human life, the death penalty can present a challenge.
Properly understood, however, Catholic teaching against
the death penalty is both persuasive and eminently prolife.
In his 1995 encyclical Evangelium Vitae, Blessed
Pope John Paul II explained that “the Gospel of God’s
love for man, the Gospel of the dignity of the person and
the Gospel of life are a single and indivisible Gospel.”
CAIN AND ABLE
In the first chapter of EV, Blessed John Paul II
presents the story of Cain and Able to illustrate that
God’s mercy embraces even a murderer.
The story of Cain and Able shows that, through we
reject and betray God through our sinfulness, his love for
human beings is always faithful, merciful, compassionate
and patient. Writing about this passage, Blessed John
Paul II observed, “Not even a murderer loses his personal
dignity and God himself pledges to guarantee this.” We
must never lose our conviction that even the worst
offenders are our brothers and sisters in Christ.
Certainly, one of the principle failures of the death
penalty is that it denies the opportunity for repentance and
conversion by cutting short the efforts of the Holy Spirit
to transform the condemned person’s soul in this life.
2016 ST. DOROTHY CALENDAR
SPONSOR NEEDED

our 2016 calendars. The name of your
business is prominently displayed on the calendar each

parishioners at St. Dorothy’s.
