LETTER FROM THE SCHOOL PRINCIPAL S.E.E.D. PROJECT UPDATE August 6, 2017 Dear Parents and Parishioners, Just a quick update on Project SEED…Secure and Enhance our Environment for Decades to come! As promised, on Monday the construction area was secured by fencing. By the end of the week, digging and cutting of asphalt will have begun. As we stand on the parish center steps and look out into the parking lot it is very exciting to envision what it will become! Clearly parking and navigating the grounds will call for patience, flexibility and extra attention to safety! When moving about the parking areas whether in the parking lot or on an adjacent street, please, keep your children near you at all times. Don’t forget that on Sundays school families are asked to park in the La Veta lot and enter the church through the front doors on Glassell. There will be a few changes to our normal back to school activities. We will be canceling our awesome time honored Spartan Spectacular this year due to limited parking and access to the hall. However, on that Wednesday the 23rd, between 3:00 and 6:00 we are asking parents to drop off their children’s school supplies, labeled and in a box. This will alleviate carrying all the supplies in on the first day of school. I encourage you on the 23rd to make your drop off of supplies without your children, as space is tight. Our kindergarten back to school picnic has also been cancelled this year due to logistics, however, a special welcome is in the works for each new kindergartener! Parents, I will be mailing out my usual summer letter to all of you on August 4th. In that letter I will update you as to how the first day of school and parking will be addressed and accomplished. Parishioners, I thank you for your positive words of encouragement, as you have been the first to tackle the parking limitations. Your generous spirit has made us realize that as a community we can do amazing things! I thank you for your continued support and prayers. Blessings, Margaret Harlow

ATTENTION - UPCOMING TRIP WITH FR. PATRICK Fr. Patrick Moses will be the spiritual leader for this upcoming pilgrimage on September 3September 16, 2017. We will experience the land of St. Patrick, Our Lady of Knock, cathedrals, abbeys, oratories and the Ireland countryside and in England we'll see London and surroundings along with Bath, Stonehenge, and Canterbury. There is limited space available so if you would like more information, please contact Ruth Burns at 714 826 5364 or [email protected].

DIOCESAN TRAINING FOR EXTRAORDINARY MINISTERS OF HOLY COMMUNION (EMHC) TO THE SICK* - Saturday, August 26, 8:30am – 12:30pm, St. Norbert Parish Hall We are in need of Extraordinary Ministers to the Sick and homebound for all our loved ones who are not able to join us here at Mass. The ministry involves bringing Holy Communion to some of our elderly. It is usually only a weekly commitment and depending on how many you wish to minister to, as little as one hour. If you are interested, there are a few steps to follow. The Diocese requires a background check with fingerprinting, an online “safe boundaries” course; which only takes about 30 minutes and delegation from the bishop. The parish requires attendance of a Diocesan training and parish MSP training. We are happy to assist you in completing all steps and ensuring you receive all the training you need. Don’t worry, you will not be thrown to the wolves. You will be guided by an experienced minister the first couple of times until you are comfortable with the ministry. Please contact Chris Hanna in the rectory office and she can get you started in the background check process.

ATTENTION ALL EXISTING EMHC TO THE SICK! Thank you for your service over the past two plus years. Most of you have served for many more. All EMHC commissions expire this summer. We pray you will all continue serving in this rewarding ministry. If you wish to be delegated by the Bishop for another two year term, you must complete the steps listed above. Most of you should have received a detailed email by now. Thank you very much for your prayerful consideration and action regarding this important matter.

*This annual training is mandatory for all existing EMHC to the Sick who wish to continue serving in the ministry.

EYEWITNESSES Today, the Feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord, is a day of eyewitness accounts. The first, a vision reported by the prophet Daniel, was well known to Jesus and his apostles. The vision account was written in quite mystical and figurative language. It is a vision of heaven, powerful and memorable. There are flames of fire, burning wheels, the Ancient One, and a Son of Man. Clearly, Daniel saw something. But was it a dream? Was it real? Was it merely a clever myth? Peter wants no such confusion about his vision! We are told in Matthew’s Gospel what he and his friends James and John saw when they went up on the mountain with Jesus one day. Jesus warned the three witnesses to tell no one until “the Son of Man has been raised from the dead” (Matthew 17:9). Lest readers of one of the Gospels discount the story or simply write it off as a pious myth, Peter gives his own account of the Transfiguration of Jesus in his second letter to the church. He writes with authority, as an eyewitness. He reports this message from God concerning Jesus: “This is my Son, my beloved, with whom I am well pleased,” and he assures us that the message is “altogether reliable” (2 Peter 1:17, 19).

SING YOUR SONG Alas for those who never sing, but die with their music within them. —Oliver Wendell Holmes

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION As the Latin Mass evolved in the first six centuries, the central prayer, what the Greeks called the anaphora and what we call today the Eucharistic Prayer, became fairly standard almost everywhere in the West. What we now know as Eucharistic Prayer I, or the Roman Canon, took a complex shape, not at all like the fluid and spontaneous prayers of early Rome, but a real architectural construction. The city of Rome was in a terrible condition by that time, and a series of political upheavals, plagues, and invasions swept through. Not much of Rome’s former glory was left standing, except for the pope, who became a symbol of protection and hope for the troubled people. The structures of law and administration were swept away in the chaos, and the pope gradually assumed authority to restore and maintain order. Soon, the public liturgy of Rome became the city’s only glory. The Romans wanted “good order” not only in their civic life, but in their liturgy. One prayer, increasingly enriched by music (although when the music tried to overtake the prayer the pope banned musical instruments entirely) was the new rule of the day. That one prayer, the Roman Canon, was solidly in place when the first liturgical book we have, the Leonine Sacramentary of 540, was compiled. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TESTIGOS Hoy, la fiesta de la Transfiguración del Señor, es día de testimonios de testigo ocular. El primero, una visión que el profeta Daniel reporta, era muy conocido por Jesús y sus apóstoles. Es una poderosa y memorable visión del cielo. Tiene llamaradas de fuego, ruedas encendidas, el sabio anciano y el Hijo del Hombre. Es claro que Daniel vio algo. Pero, ¿fue un sueño? ¿Fue algo real? ¿O fue solamente un mito astuto? ¡Pedro no quiere que su visión sea confundida de igual manera! Nos cuenta el Evangelio de san Marcos lo que él y sus amigos Santiago y Juan vieron cuando subieron un día a la montaña con Jesús. Jesús les ordenó a los tres testigos que no dijeran nada hasta que “el Hijo del Hombre resucitara de entre los muertos” (Marcos 9:9). Por si los lectores del Evangelio dan por descontada la historia o simplemente la descartan como un mito piadoso, Pedro escribe su propia versión de la Transfiguración de Jesús en su segunda carta a la Iglesia. Escribe con autoridad, como testigo ocular. Reporta este mensaje de Dios referente a Jesús: “Este es mi Hijo muy querido, al que miro con cariño”, y nos asegura que el mensaje es digno de “creer(se) firmemente”. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Esta semana celebramos la memoria del santo patrono de los cocineros, san Lorenzo. Este español del siglo tercero fue uno de siete diáconos del Papa Sixto II, en Roma. Su ministerio consistía en repartir limosnas a los pobres. En el año 257 se pronunció una nueva persecución a los cristianos en Roma y el día 6 de agosto unos soldados romanos asesinaron al Papa y a cuatro de sus diáconos. Lorenzo, cuyo nombre significa laureado o premiado, fue arrestado tras la batalla y llevado ante el alcalde de Roma. Este mandó traer todas las riquezas de la Iglesia, pero Lorenzo ya hacía tiempo que las había vendido para dar el dinero a los más necesitados. No obstante, se marchó de la presencia del alcalde para luego llegar con él, acompañado de gente pobre y enferma, insistiendo que ellos eran las verdaderas riquezas de la Iglesia. El alcalde, furioso, lo mandó quemar sobre brazas para que muriera lentamente. Según testigos de su martirio, Lorenzo, a cierto punto dijo a sus asesinos: “Ya estoy asado de este lado, voltéenme para asarme por completo”. Eventualmente dijo: “La carne esta lista, ya pueden comer” y falleció orando por la conversión de Roma. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
