This year we will study “Israel’s Story.” This study explores Old Testament history, theology and stories. We

MINISTERIO EN ESPAÑOL
Vigésimo Segundo Domingo
del Tiempo Ordinario
TRADICIÓN
La tradición es la memoria humana a largo plazo,
mantenida no en piedra sino en la interrelación
humana. Sin esta memoria activa, los lazos de relaciones y de afecto se debilitan y se deshacen. Las
comunidades se separan tan de seguro como caen
los edificios abandonados. Después de participar en
acontecimientos, celebraciones y hasta en pequeños
ritos, comentamos lo bueno que es el reunirnos y
recordar.
Las lecturas de hoy nos recuerdan aquellos fundamentos que van más hondo que la voluntad humana
para relacionarse. Hoy escuchamos sobre la voluntad divina de relacionarse con nosotros —de ser
nuestro Dios tal como nosotros somos llamados a
ser el pueblo amado de Dios.
Hoy recordamos en tres lecturas y de tres maneras
los lazos de la alianza que nos establece como pueblo, y las obligaciones y responsabilidades que expresan lo más hondo del alma. Tú eres mío. Yo soy
tuya. Estas son palabras de Dios que crearon a un
pueblo, tan seguramente como “Hágase la luz” creó
el sol y la luna y todas las estrellas.
ADULT FORMATION
Gospel: Mark 7:1-8, 14-15, 21-23
Adults: How do I prepare my heart to receive the
transformative power of God’s words?
Children: How do I welcome the words of Jesus
into my heart?
Evangelio: Marco 7: 1-8,14-15, 21-23
Adultos: ¿Cómo preparo mi corazón para recibir
la fuerza transformadora de la palabra de Dios?
Niños: ¿Cómo acepto las palabras de Jesucristo
en mi corazón?
STEWARDSHIP
REFLECTIONS
“Be doers of the word and not hearers only . . . .”
James 1:22
What do you do to live God’s word? Do you share
your time in prayer with God? Do you use your talent to help those in need? Are you generous with
your financial resources? If not, what are you waiting for?

COMUNIDAD HISPANA
Los invitamos a la Misa de El Sagrado Corazón de
Jesús el Viernes, 4 de Septiembre a las 8:00 p.m.
Recuerden sus promesas están aquí, esperándolos;
así como es su Corazón manzo y humilde siempre
esperándolos, cuando decidan entrar a El. Empezamos a las 7:00 p.m. con el ofrecimiento del
Santo Rosario y los niños pueden venir vestidos de
blanco y traer flores de su jardin (no es obligatorio).
No se pierdan ésta bellísima celebración.
También los seguimos invitando a que donen un
poco de lo que Dios les da para nuestros hermanos
los más necesitados de nuestra parroquia. Pueden
traer cosas enlatadas, cereales, y granos. No traigan
cosas caducadas o frescas que tengan que refrigerarse por favor. Hay unos botes en la entrada del templo en el vestíbulo dónde se pueden depositar sus
donaciones o pregunten por Carlos Ruiz. Gracias que Dios los siga bendiciendo.

Monsignor’s Corner
Why Go To Church?
An answer to Why go to church? If you’re spiritually alive, you’re going to love this! If you’re spiritually
dead, you won’t want to read it. If you’re spiritually curious, there is still hope!
A church goer wrote a letter to the editor of a newspaper and complained that it made no sense to go to
church every Sunday. “I’ve gone for 30 years now,” he wrote, “and in that time I have heard something
like 3,000 sermons, but for the life of me, I can’t remember a single one of them. So, I think I’m wasting
my time and the priests are wasting theirs by giving sermons at all.” This started a real controversy in the
Letters to the Editor column.
Return next week to read the rebuttal!

CHURCH OF THE PRESENTATION
2015 PARISH RETREAT
DOMINIC’S DESIGNATED DRIVER
GOLF TOURNAMENT
Dominic's Designated Driver (DDD) held its Fourth
Annual Golf Tournament on Saturday, May 9, 2015
at Swenson Park Golf Course in Stockton, CA. Approximately 144 golfers participated in this 18-hole
event, and an additional 65 non-golfers also attended the dinner held afterward. Between the
tournament, dinner, raffle, and live auction, the
event raised almost $16,000. A portion of these
proceeds will be used to fund scholarships for students at Presentation Parish School, St. Mary’s
High School, Lincoln High School, Lodi High
School, East Union High School, and San Joaquin
Delta College. The remaining funds will be utilized
by the program to provide the community with
DDD wristbands, stickers, and educational material.
We would personally like to thank you for becoming
a part of our change. Your generous donations
helped to make the event as successful as we had
hoped. Without your support and generosity,
Dominic’s Designated Driver would not be able to
affect our community and save others from another
senseless tragedy. With DDD’s mission to save lives,
we believe that our program will educate and encourage all age groups to utilize a designated driver.
We are extremely passionate about our foundation
and are grateful for any opportunity to get our word
out to as many people as possible. Thank you again
for contributing to such an important cause that our
family holds very dear to our hearts. We look forward to collaborating with you further about sharing our public service to help the safety of our community.
Sincerely, Carrie Del Cima, Mark Deiro, Mia Deiro
Douglass, and the DDD Board of Directors
Dominic’s Designated Driver is an official 501[c][3] organization,
Federal EIN 45-4385172.

your help. CAN you help? YES, you
CAN!
Many thanks to all who so generously
donate food and funds to the food pantry. Your sharing of your treasure is helping us continue to serve families in our parish and community
