Fr. Rene’s Letter
Dear Parishioners,
Our Lord Jesus in today’s Gospel bids his disciples, including us:
“Sell your belongings and give alms.”
“Provide money bags for yourselves that do not wear out…,
For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.”
“Gird your loins and light your lamps…”
“Much will be required of the person entrusted with much,
and still more will be demanded of the person entrusted with more.”
“Is this parable meant for us or for everyone?” Peter asks. Echoing Peter’s question, we also
inquire, is the Gospel for all of us or merely for a small group of especially pious and saintly people?
Surely, not everyone is called to sell everything. The path of complete poverty chosen by St. Francis
of Assisi or St. Dominic, or by St. Aloysius cannot be for everyone. Yet, rich or poor, as God’s
children, we can give alms, that is, helping others by using the abundant graces received at our
baptism and confirmation and the Eucharist. Gifted in so many ways, we must remove the fear that
keeps us from showing ourselves fully as a person with many gifts intended by God to be shared.
And we cannot play small so that our lamps are not burning brightly. If we do, others will follow us by
refusing to glow. “Much will be required of the person entrusted with much….”
Our Lord’s bidding to “lay up treasure in heaven” as well as his implied critical question “where is
your treasure….the values that are decisive in your life?” holds good for us personally. We cannot
ignore them, or simply leave our response to anyone else. At the final reckoning, the only thing we
can take with us are our good works—the only treasures we show before God. I guess, you and I
should be worried more about ourselves than about how many people the Gospel applies to. Does
the Gospel still strike home for you….apply to you personally?
And finally, a minister was driving down the road when he got pulled over by a Police Officer. The
Officer came up to the window and smelled alcohol. He saw a thermos and said, “Sir, what are you
drinking?” The Minister said, “Just water, Officer.” He asked to see the thermos, took one sniff and
said, “Smells like wine to me.” The Minister said, “What do you know; Jesus did it again!”
Peace!
Fr. Rene
Could you take another look?
*The celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is an action of Christ and of the people of God. In it God sanctifies the world in Christ; and the
people offer to God. Therefore, it is of the greatest importance.
*At Mass, we the people of God are called together, with the priest presiding and acting in the person of Christ — to celebrate the Memorial of the
Lord or Eucharistic Sacrifice.
*In the celebration of the Mass the Sacrifice of the Cross is perpetuated, and Christ is really present: in the assembly gathered in his name, in the
person of the minister, in his Word, in substantially and uninterruptedly under the Eucharistic species.
Since it is the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is an act of Christ and of the Church, it is endowed always with its efficacy and dignity, and it is carried out
by means of perceptible and visible signs by which the faith is nourished, strengthened, and expressed.

In this Gospel, Jesus says “Sell your belongings and give
alms. Provide money bags for yourselves that do not
wear out, an inexhaustible treasure in heaven that no
thief can reach nor moth destroy.”
Please help the Society of St. Vincent de Paul bring
respite and hope to the elderly who are not able to
find relief from the summer heat, and you will indeed
find “an inexhaustible treasure in heaven!”
PLEASE PRAY FOR…

Already we are making up classes that will begin in
September. Our new books have been delivered. Our
classrooms are being cleaned. Our Catechists and Class
Moms are falling into place. If you need a registration
form for someone that you might know, please call our
office at 482-5660.
A word about Baptism: If your child has NOT been
baptized before they enter Kindergarten, then it is
required that they must complete ONE FULL year of
formal Religious Education before they can receive the
Sacrament of Baptism.
Our Religious Education Program continues to help
those students who have missed Sacraments. We help
to make it easy and rewarding as your older child
"catches up" on Baptism, Communion, Penance or even
Confirmation. Our office would be happy to speak to
you about your individual situation and concerns
regarding Sacraments. Please do not put it off any
longer. Give us a call!
At this time we are still missing a few registration
forms for returning students (a new form must be
completed each year to update phone numbers,
emergency contacts and even addresses). We will
contact those students by mail in the coming week.
Gene Tesoriero, Ida Tesoriero, Frank Vignola,
Ellen Ward, Andrew Wykowski & Jennifer Yap.
And for all our FAITHFUL DEPARTED .
When the circumstances change for someone listed above or they return to better
health, a family member or friend should notify the Rectory.
August
15th,
the
Assumption
of
the
Blessed Virgin Mary, is
not a Holy Day of
Obligation this year due
to the fact that it falls on
a Monday.
Our only
Mass
for
Monday,
th
August 15 will be at
8AM.
Our 2016 Summer Camp is in progress. The last week
of Camp is July 25-29. If you are looking for a place
for your little one (ages 2.5 through 5) to spend a few
hours during the summer, please call us at 482-5644.
You can sign up by the day or by the week. This might
be a great idea for a visiting grandchild! Limited space
is available. We would be glad to help in any way that
we can.
We are also taking applications now for the 2016-17
School Year. Students must be 2 years 9 months of
age by September 1st. We also have a few students
waiting to join us in January 2017. Our tuition is very
affordable when compared to others in the
neighborhood. Call us for any further information or to
set up a "tour" of our Pre-Kindergarten.
