PASTOR’S CORNER
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
In today’s First Reading from the Book of Leviticus, the Lord says to
Moses, “Speak to the whole Israelite community and tell them: Be holy,
for I, the Lord, your God, am holy.” (Leviticus 19:2) The Lord calls, not
only the Israelites, but all of us to holiness. The Lord wants us to turn
away from sin. The Lord says, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
(Leviticus 19:18)
The Second Reading builds on this as St. Paul says, “you are the temple
of God” and “the Spirit of God dwells in you.” (1 Corinthians 3:16)
In today’s Gospel according to Matthew, we continue to reflect on Jesus’
Sermon on the Mount. The Lord says, “Love your enemies and pray for
those who persecute you, that you may be children of your heavenly
Father.” (Matthew 5:38-48)
Jesus proclaimed this powerful message not just with words but with his
life. Every time we look upon a Crucifix we see what Jesus did for us. His
saving death upon the Cross shows us that he loves even his enemies,
even those who killed him.
So the next time you’ve been deeply hurt by someone, don’t lash out in
anger, instead fix your gaze upon the Cross. It would also be good to bring
this hurt to Mass and look upon Christ in the Holy Eucharist: “Behold the
Lamb of God, behold him who takes away the sins of the world.”
COLLECTION for the
Church in Latin America/Eastern Europe
February 22-23
Each year countless Catholics living in countries
once dominated by the Soviet regime are assisted
in rebuilding their faith communities through this
collection. Grants are given for such needs as mission
outreach to rural villages, homes for abandoned
children, and centers to provide for the physical and
spiritual welfare of thousands suffering with alcohol addiction — a remnant of the
hopelessness fostered by generations of communist oppression.
Your gift will also fund catechesis, youth ministry programs, and seminarian education
in Latin America and the Caribbean. One participant in catechetical training, Andrea,
said that the experience was informative and enriching — the catechists were able to
meet each other and share their diverse experiences. The support you give today will
fund formation programs and provide opportunities for years to come.
PASTORAL
SERVICES APPEAL
Kick-off Weekend
February 22-23
A
s an extension of our parish

the needy and the sacramental
life of our Church through clergy
formation and support and so
much more. Every household is
encouraged to show that they
are Proud to be Catholic by
supporting the work of our Church
and participating in this appeal.
No gift is too great or too small.
Once we have met the goal for
our parish's share for diocesan
services, your donations will be
returned to our parish for church
renovations.

RESPECT LIFE, JUSTICE and PEACE
CRS Rice Bowl
Solidarity with the Poor in Lent
We are drawing near to Lent, when
Christians are called to prayer, fasting and
almsgiving in union with Jesus who fasted
and prayed for 40 days in the desert and
conquered temptations (Matthew 4) before
beginning His public ministry.
This Lent, the St. Bonaventure community
is invited to journey and grow in solidarity
with our less fortunate brothers and sisters around the world, by participating in Catholic
Relief Services’ Rice Bowl program. By taking part in this program, we can learn about
the lives of people in far-away countries, about some of the successful efforts to address
the local issues impacting poor people, and about the help they receive to improve their
lives through CRS using money provided by U.S. Catholics.
CRS Rice Bowl will help bring Lent to life for us. Daily suggestions will help us enrich our
Lenten journey and experience living in solidarity with the poor and vulnerable around
the world. We will pray to deepen our relationship with God and reflect on what type of
person we are called to be. We will fast to remove the things that can come between us
and God, and to remember those without enough to eat. We will give alms, honoring
Jesus’ call to serve those in need. It will be a great journey — please join us!

Commonly Asked
Questions and Answers on
Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT)
What is Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT)?
EFT is a way of giving your Sunday offerings and other donations to St. Bonaventure
Church through automatic deductions from your checking or savings account.
How does it benefit me or the Church?
Giving by EFT frees you from writing Sunday offering and other checks. EFT offers
parishioners an easy, systematic means of supporting the ministries of the Church
while reducing the risk of checks being lost or misplaced.
How secure is EFT giving?
It is very secure. No personal information is asked for on the authorization form, and
our EFT processing company, VANCO Services, will not have access to such things
as account balances and other personal information maintained by your bank, credit
union or other financial institutions. Hence, no identity theft is possible.
How much will it cost me?
This service is free to you.
What happens if I change bank accounts?
A new authorization form will be given to you to fill out.
How about if I want to change the amount of my offering?
Again, you will simply complete a new authorization form.
Can I change, cancel or stop contributions at any time?
Yes. If you want to discontinue your electronic giving, inform the parish center and
we’ll take it from there.
If I have more questions on EFT, whom should I contact?
Nancy Cesar, our parish business manager. Her phone number is 846-2447.

MINISTRY OF THE MONTH
Vocations Ministry
The purpose of our ministry is to:
• create an awareness of the critical need
for vocations to the priesthood and
religious life in the Church.
Legion of
Mary
• encourage our youth to consider vocations
to the priesthood and religious life through
prayer and personal commitment.
• support through prayer seminarians and novices from our parish who are in training
in their respective vocations.
• help with receptions to welcome new priests to our parish and say thank you to
priests and seminarians who leave us.
We encourage attendance at Adoration by displaying reminders around the Church
and the large display board that is set up prior to the 7th of the month.
We sponsor vocation panels, put up banners promoting vocations and vocation
awareness events.
We make Vocations prayer cards available for parishioners’ use.
We prepare and send vocation materials to the school for their use in the classroom.
On a particular day, we arrange for religious communities to set up a table in the
parish hall and display their posters and pamphlets that tell about their particular
religious community to make parishioners aware of these communities.
We focus particularly on World Day for Consecrated Life, World Day of Prayer for
Vocations, Night of Prayer for Priests, and Vocations Awareness Week, which
this year has been moved to November.
We meet the second Thursday of the month in the parish center at 9:15 a.m.
MINISTRY OF THE MONTH is brought to you courtesy of Stewardship Ministry.

Dear Beloved Parishioners,
As some of you may know,
I am planning to run the
LA Marathon this year on
March 9. This is my third
marathon and I really enjoy
doing it. The purpose of my
marathon this year is to run for our parish,
which means that all the money I receive from
sponsorship will go directly to the Building
Fund. This will be an exciting event and an
absolutely good cause. Together, we can
renovate our church.
In Christ,
Fr. Thanh-Tai Nguyen
P.S. If you would like to sponsor me, please
make your check payable to “St. Bonaventure
Church” and on the memo line write
“Marathon–Building Fund”.

GOD Wants to Give You So Much
Through the Eucharist
The Season of Lent is a good opportunity to
search for deeper spiritual meaning in our Life
Journey and to develop our inner spirituality
through the Eucharist.
As one of many Lenten practices to choose from, the
Families of Nazareth Movement is offering a series
of reflection topics entitled Eucharistic Love. These
reflections, compiled of excerpts from The Gift of Faith
book, may help us draw closer to the Lord during this Lent
and Paschal Season.
You are invited to join one of three groups — one hour per
week — to reflect, share and gain insights on how God
meets us, is actively present in our daily lives, and how he
wants to transform us in the Eucharist. Come as you can
to one reflection or all of them. Materials provided. All are
welcome!
Meetings will start on Thursday, March 6.

5:00 and 8:15 p.m.
Regency South Coast Village Theater
1561 W. Sunflower Avenue, Santa Ana
Mary of Nazareth, the first major motion picture
on the remarkable life of Mary, Mother of Christ,
from her childhood through the Resurrection of
Jesus. Produced by the same European studios
that have made such other high-quality films with
profound spiritual depth like Restless Heart: The Confessions of Augustine, Pope John
Paul II, Bakhita: From Slave to Saint, and Padre Pio, this powerful film on the life of Mary
will provide deep inspiration for all who see it on the big screen.
Ignatius Press, along with its marketing partner Carmel Communications, is very happy to
work with faith-filled movie fans everywhere to bring this amazing film on Mary to theaters
in their neighborhoods, providing a unique opportunity for inspiring entertainment, strong
evangelization and significant fund-raising.
This engagement of Mary of Nazareth is sponsored by Our Lady Queen of Angels
Knights of Columbus Council 15719 for the benefit of Isaiah House in Santa Ana. For
more info on the event or to purchase tickets, please call Matt Holzmann at 949-6897400 or e-mail [email protected].
