Jubilee Year of Mercy
“You fool, this night your life will be demanded of
you” (Luke 12:20). Hardly sounds like mercy! Unlike
some contemporary rich folks, there is no indication
of lying, stealing, or cheating in Jesus’ parable. The
rich man made a living, not a killing. Why does Jesus
name him “fool”? First, because of presumption. Five
times in nine verses, the rich man declares, “I shall.”
God’s not in charge here, I am! Second, selfishness—
four times, “my/myself.” No God, no neighbor; he
talks to himself, about himself: my possessions, my
productivity, my plans! So, instead of chasing
“treasure for ourselves,” Jesus and Pope Francis’ Jubilee Year of Mercy bid us grow “rich in what matters
to God” (12:21), namely, the corporal and spiritual
works of mercy. Give food, drink, clothing, and healing; visit the imprisoned; bury the dead. Heal with
Jesus’ own gentleness the doubt, ignorance, and sins
of others; comfort, forgive, be patient; and pray for
the living and dead.

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
REGISTRATION FOR OUR FALL CLASSES
Early registration for our Religious Education Program in the fall begins July 1st.
Those students who attended last year will receive a registration packet in the mail. Those who register before August 31st will pay an early bird registration fee. New families who want to register their children can
come to the parish office Monday – Thursday from 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. And on Friday’s from 8:30 a.m.2:30 p.m. You can also go online to our parish website and print out the registration forms. You must have a

Our Elementary Religious Education classes are on Tuesday evenings from 6:30-7:30 p.m. for grades 1st
through 8th and are held at St. Catherine’s School.
Our Confirmation preparation classes are twice a month on Sundays from 4:00 – 5:30

It is important that your family are registered members of St. Catherine’s Parish. If you have any questions please call our Religious Education Director, Gina Stewart at 494-9701 ext. 119.
RCIA SPONSORS NEEDED
We are now blessed to have several adults who are in the RCIA process. An important part of this process is the personal touch of a sponsor from our congregation to move alongside of them during this time.
Basically, a sponsor is a friend. One who is supportive and welcoming to the new candidate as they learn about the
Catholic faith. A person who will be invitational and include them in their everyday lives and events. Do you recognize
these gifts in yourself? If you do, we need you to share them!
A sponsor is a vital part of the process and a link to the social and spiritual life of our church. The sponsor will attend
the RCIA meetings after the 9am mass. They are not expected to be experts in Catholicism and know everything there is
about the faith. We as a team certainly do not. What we hope to do is evangelize, which is an important part of this present period of “Inquiry” and Precatechumenate. We share our stories! We share about Jesus’ forgiveness and unconditional love”. As we share, we learn more about our faith and our personal relationship with Jesus.
It is a fun, interesting and vital ministry. We laugh, cry, celebrate and learn together in a social and spiritual environment. In the near future you will be hearing first hand from some of our past sponsors and their experiences.
If you have any interest in learning about the ministry and hearing more about it,
would you please contact me in the church office, 949-494-9701 ext. 113.
Blessings,
Donna Beam

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Del 1o al 5 de agosto los capitalinos en El
Salvador celebran la fiesta del Salvador del
Mundo, cuando recuerdan la Transfiguración
de Jesús en el Monte Tabor. Como muchas
fiestas patronales en Latinoamérica esta semana está llena de carnavales y desfiles. La celebración principal es una procesión religiosa
con la imagen de Jesús, el Divino Salvador del
mundo. La estatua de Jesús con sus brazos extendidos en bendición es llevada desde la Basílica del Sagrado Corazón hasta la Catedral
Metropolitana. Vestida de un rojo que recuerda su pasión, la imagen es cargada sobre los
hombros de una veintena de fieles. Al llegar a
la catedral la imagen patronal es puesta en una
torre de más de 20 metros de alto. Eventualmente la estatua revestida de blanco aparece
de una esfera encima de la torre en medio de
gritos, aplausos y cantos. Esta esfera azul representa el mundo entero, mundo salvado por
Cristo. La transfiguración de esta imagen en
San Salvador recuerda la pasión y resurrección
de Jesús, eventos claves que han hecho de él,
el Salvador del Mundo entero.
Año Jubilar de la Misericordia
31 de julio de 2016
Decimoctavo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
“‘¡Insensato!’ Esta misma noche vas a morir” (Lucas 12:20). ¡Esto no suena misericordioso! En esta parábola de
Jesús, a diferencia de algunas personas ricas de estos tiempos, no hay mención de mentir, robar o engañar. El hombre
rico se ganaba la vida, no es un asesino. ¿Qué es lo que Jesús le quiere decir por “insensato”? Primero, por arrogante. El
hombre rico diciendo lo que va a hacer. Dios no está a cargo de la situación sino el hombre rico. Segundo, por egoísta.
No hay mención de Dios, del prójimo; él hombre rico se habla así mismo de él mismo: ¡mis posesiones, mi productividad, mis planes! Así que en lugar de desear “abundancia de bienes” para nosotros; Jesús y el Papa Francisco en este Año
Jubilar de la Misericordia nos proponen crecer en aquello que “vale ante Dios” (12:21), es decir las obras de misericordia corporales y espirituales. Dar de comer, de beber, vestir y sanar; visitar a los prisioneros, enterrar a los muertos. Sanar con la misma gentileza de Jesús la duda, la ignorancia y las culpas de los prójimos, confortar, perdonar, ser paciente
y orar por los vivos y los muertos.
