“No one who sets a hand to the plow and looks to what was left
behind is fit for the kingdom of God.”
— Luke 9:62
Pastor’s Corner
My brothers and sisters in Christ,
Goodbyes are always so hard. I have had some
great times here at Sacred Heart. You are such a
wonderful parish. I will leave with so many pleasant
memories. I am sure your new Pastor Fr. Al will be
happy to be with you.
Over the years I have been encouraged by how
parishioners have stepped forward to volunteer for
various programs. So many of you have really put
your faith into action as you reach out to serve, love,
and forgive as Jesus has taught us.
Speaking of forgiveness, I know that a leader can
never make everyone happy, so I ask for forgiveness
from anyone whom I might have hurt or
disappointed. It is so easy to think the pastor is
infallibly perfect and forget that I am a human who,
like you, can make mistakes.
One of my fondest memories is the fruitful times
I have spent in confession with so many of you! Your
eagerness to be reconciled to our Lord Jesus has
always gratified and humbled me. In so many of you I
could see the movement of the Holy Spirit leading you
to a deeper relationship with our Lord Jesus. May
God continue to be praised as you deepen your
relationship with Jesus and His Church.
I look forward to hearing good things about Sacred
Heart parish in the future! I will keep you in my
prayers and ask that you keep me in your prayers
also!
May our Lord bless you now and forever!
Fr. John

Psalm — You are my inheritance, O Lord (Psalm
16).

Gospel — While journeying to Jerusalem, Jesus
speaks of the costs of discipleship (Luke 9:51-62).
Reflections by Fr. Carlos
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
In the Catholic spiritual tradition we have a little book
called "imitation of Christ". This booklet has been
considered the second most read book in the Catholic
world after the Bible. In Chapter 23 we are given 4 tips
for a profound true peace in the Lord. I will gladly share
them. I have relied upon a modern translation of Peter
Dyckhoff.
1. Look in all to fulfill the will of Lord.
2. Do not accumulate nothing superfluous. The more
you simplify your life it will be better.
3. Do not get into business or affairs of others.
4. Direct yourself to God with a simple prayer of
devotion.
WEST AFRICA COMMUNITY MISSIONS
Come be a part of our TEAM! Planning and
preparing for our fall (October 2016) medical mission
trip has begun. West Africa Community Missions
(WACM) with Sacred Heart Parish will be conducting a
10 day medical mission trip to Port Antonio Jamaica.
This is a follow up trip to our October 2015 medical
mission in Port Antonio that was done through the
generous support of Sacred Heart Parish. The children
and families of Port Antonio are desperate for our
medical care and help.
Our first meeting will be at the home of Dr. Kevin
and Valerie White, 10660 Candytuft St. in Ventura on
June 30th, 7 - 8 PM. Please RSVP at:
[email protected], or on Facebook at
www.facebook.com/africamedicalmissions.
All those who would like to come on the medical
mission trip, all those who would like to help support
behind the scenes, and all those who are just
dreaming of coming now or in the future are welcome
to our first meeting. Doctors, Dentist, Nurses, and
health Care workers are all needed, but we also need
a significant number of students and nonmedical
volunteers to make our trips work.

Youth Ministry News
SAFEGUARD THE CHILDREN
A parishioner recently asked me how our core
team became so large over the past couple of
years. As I took a moment to think about it, there
was one thing that stuck out more than most. I don’t
treat our teens like they are children, instead, I treat
them like adults. I hold them responsible for their
own actions, I trust them, I don’t talk down them, I
treat them as a peer not anything less. Some
people may not agree with this, but I have found
time and time again that I get more respect from
teens this way. Because of this, they are more open
during the program, and therefore want to become
part of our team when they are done because they
feel wanted. Our program is not about who is better,
or who has a higher status, we are all Christians
trying to get through this thing called life. We are on
the same journey together, we want someone to
help us on this journey, we want to know that we
are never alone. This is why we have such a huge
core team of 37 strong and still growing! We are a
family of sinners, a family of believers, a family of
dorks, we are family period. To grow as a church we
need to be a family working together, not better or
worse than one another, but as equals. We may be
in different places in our faith journey but that
doesn’t make us different. I treat teens as equals,
and that’s why they stick around, because they feel
welcomed.
Don’t forget:
-Registrations due August 31st (anytime after will
have a $25 late fee attached)
-Registrations can be found in the rectory or on the
parish website under faith formation.

DID YOU KNOW?
Fire safety: planning and preparation
The United States has the highest fire death and injury
rate in the world. Every 80 seconds, a family—
somewhere in the U.S.—is impacted by a residential
fire. A little planning and effort can help minimize your
family’s risk. You can start by installing, testing, and
maintaining smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
For a list of other suggestions please call: (213) 6377227 or email: [email protected] to receive
a copy of the VIRTUS® article “A Reminder About Fire
Safety in the Home.”

MISA DEL MEDIODÍA, 12 P.M.
Esquina del Pastor
Mis hermanos y hermanas en Cristo,
Las despedidas son siempre tan duras. He tenido muy buenos momentos aquí en el Sagrado Corazón. Ustedes
son una parroquia tan maravillosa. Me voy con tantos recuerdos agradables. Estoy seguro de que su nuevo Pastor
Padre Al estará feliz de estar con ustedes.
Con los años me ha alentado la forma en qué los feligreses se han ofrecido como voluntarios para varios
programas. Muchos de ustedes realmente han puesto su fe en acción en como llegan a servir, amar y perdonar
como Jesús nos ha enseñado.
Hablando de perdón, sé que un líder nunca puede hacer felices a todos, por lo que pido perdón a cualquier
persona a quien podría haber herido o decepcionado. Es tan fácil pensar que el pastor es infalible y perfecto y
olvidar de que soy un ser humano que, como ustedes, pueden cometer errores.
Uno de mis mejores recuerdos son los tiempos provechosos que he pasado en la confesión con tantos de
ustedes. Su deseo de reconciliarse con el Señor Jesús siempre me ha gratificado y me ha dado un ejemplo de
humildad. En muchos de ustedes pude ver el movimiento del Espíritu Santo guiándolos a una relación más
profunda con el Señor Jesús. Que Dios siga siendo alabado a medida que profundicen su relación con Jesús y su
Iglesia.
¡Espero con interés escuchar cosas buenas de la parroquia del Sagrado Corazón en el futuro! Yo los guardaré en
mis oraciones y les pido que me mantengan en sus oraciones también. Que el Señor les bendiga ahora y siempre!
Reflexiones del Padre Carlos
Queridos hermanas y hermanos en el Señor:
En la tradición espiritual católica contamos con un
pequeño libro llamado “la imitación de Cristo”. Este
librito ha sido considerado el segundo libro más leído
en el mundo católico después de la Biblia. En el
capítulo 23 se nos dan 4 consejos para obtener una
profunda paz verdadera en el Señor. Con gusto se los
comparto. He tomado como base una traducción
moderna de Peter Dyckhoff.
1. Busca en todo cumplir la voluntad del Señor.
2. No acumules nada superfluo. Entre más
simplifiques tu vida será mejor.
3. No te metas en negocios, o asuntos, ajenos.
4. Dirígete a Dios con una oración sencilla de
entrega.
