FROM THE PASTOR,
This is indeed a busy time. For my 40th anniversary of ordination I was given a beautiful quilt from a friend in
my old parish in Sisters, Oregon. It now hangs from the wall near the back door in the narthex. I thank Mary Richards who made it, and Cathy and Ken Ehlers, wonderful new members of Saint Mary’s, who brought it to Boise
and arranged to hang it.
A reminder that the altar flowers each week can be donated in memory of a special person, and when that
happens we will name them in the bulletin. If you would like to donate the flowers for a weekend, please call the
office. We will soon have envelopes in the pews to get ready for the people who want to donate flowers for Advent
and Christmas in memory of loved ones.
I have been asked about a custom in the old church at the 10:45am Mass of having people hold hands crossing the aisles during the Our Father. The question was could we do that again? The aisle is wider but I always
thought that was a great custom. If people want to do it, please do.
Next weekend is the anniversary of the attack on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001.
Please keep all of those who died and who suffered in your prayers.
Our Parish Community Council has been asked to lead us in planning for the 75th anniversary of Saint Mary’s
Parish in 2012. If you have ideas, suggestions, or would like to help, please call your Parish Community Council
representative.
Happy Labor Day!
Peace, Father Tom Faucher, Pastor
Día del Trabajo (de los trabajadores). El Comité de Justicia Doméstica y Desarrollo Humano de la Conferencia de
Obispos Católicos de Estados Unidos, a través de su presidente el obispo de stockton Ca., Stephen E. Blaire, dio
a conocer su mensaje del Día del Trabajo titulado: “Costos Humanos y Desafíos Morales de una Economía
Quebrantada”. En su parte central el documento dice: “Cada año los norteamericanos celebran el Dia del Trabajo
como un dia feriado nacional para rendirle homenaje a las personas trabajadoras. Este año, no obstante, hay
menos razones para para celebrar y más para reflexionar y actuar respecto a la inestabilidad económica y a las
dificultades por las que atraviesan las personas trabajadoras y sus familias. Para los católicos, también es el
momento para recordar la enseñanza tradicional de la Iglesia sobre la dignidad del trabajo y los derechos de los
trabajadores. Este Dia del trabajo, los hechos económicos son crudos y los costos humanos son reales: millones
de nuestras hermanas y hermanos se encuentran sin trabajo, educando a sus hijos en la pobreza y atormentados
por las tragedias humanas, desafíos morales y pruebas de nuestra fe”. Hagamos oración y lo que está de nuestra
parte para aliviar esta situación tan dolorosa que enfrentan nuestros trabajadores.
Su amigo y servidor
Su amigo y servidor ~ Padre Jesús Camacho
Labor Day (the workers). The Committee on Justice and Domestic Human Development of the Catholic Bishops’
Conference of the United States, through its President, Bishop of Stockton Ca, Stephen E. Blaire, unveiled his Labor Day message entitled "Human Costs and Moral Challenges of an Economy Broken." At its core, the document
says: "Each year Americans celebrate Labor Day as a national holiday to honor working people. This year, however, there are fewer reasons to celebrate. We need to reflect and act on economic instability and the difficulties
being experienced by working people and their families. For Catholics, it is also time to remember the Church's
traditional teaching on the dignity of work and the rights of workers. This Labor Day, the economic facts are raw
and real human costs are: millions of our brothers and sisters are out of work, raising their children in poverty and
tormented by the tragedies of human moral challenges and tests of our faith.” Let us pray and ask ourselves what
part we have in alleviating this painful situation faced by our workers.
Your friend and servant ~ Father Jesus Camacho

RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION OF ADULTS
(RCIA)
Are you interested in learning more about the Catholic
Church?
Are you unbaptized but recognize a need for spirituality in your
life?
Are you baptized Catholic but never received any formal religious education or have never been confirmed?
Are you baptized into another denomination and want to become Catholic?
Are you married to a Catholic and attend Mass but just don’t
know what the next step is to becoming one of the Catholic
faithful?
Are you yearning for something more in your life?
The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults is a spiritual journey in
faith to discover what it means to follow Jesus as a Catholic
Christian and the joy and freedom that can result from journeying
with Christ. Every year adults are welcomed into the Catholic
Community through Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults. It is a
learning and loving process in which conversion of the heart
brings you to Jesus Christ who is our Lord and Savior. “Come to
me, all you who are weary and find life burdensome, and I will
refresh you. Take My yoke upon your shoulders and learn from
Me, for I am gentle and humble of heart. Your soul will find rest,
for My yoke is easy and My burden light.” (Matthew 11:28 – 30)
Inquiry period begins September 1
If you or anyone you know is interested, or has questions and are
high school age or older, please call the parish office or Monica
Pittman (208) 331-2989: email us at
[email protected] or find us at st. marys boise rcia

Dear Parishioners,
Now that school is open I’d like to
ask for your help regarding student
safety. Please be aware of the following school safety rules:
We welcome parishioners to our school. All visitors to the
school need to sign in on the Visitor Log book in the front office. Children/grandchildren may only be checked out of
school by a person that is authorized by the parent/guardian.
Please come into the main office and sign the student out with
the school secretary.
When school is in session between 8:10am and 3:10pm
avoid parking on the school playground. If you must park on
the playground, park along the fence line. It’s best if you park
so that you can pull out straight, rather than backing out.
Please do not drive on the playground at any time while
children are present. Our parking lot is also our playground.
The lot is used for PE classes and our recess periods throughout the school day. To be courteous to our neighbors, and to
keep students safe, the alleyway is not to be used as a drive
through.
We encourage you to come in and visit while school is in
session. Our Student Ambassadors would be most happy to
give you a school tour. Thank you for your help keeping our
children safe. May God continue to guide and direct us!
~Marianne White, Principal

GREAT ADVENTURE BIBLE STUDY
St. Mary’s Parish is offering Jeff Cavins’ Great
Adventure Bible Study and Timeline to interested parishioners. The Great Adventure is a
Catholic bible study system developed by Jeff
Cavins and is designed to give the average

makes the complex simple by teaching the story of the Bible.
Classes begin Tuesday, September 13, at 7 p.m. in the church
and will continue on Tuesday nights through next spring, with breaks
during Advent and Holy Week. In order to know how many workbooks
to order, pre-registration is necessary. Costs for each person should
not exceed $20. St. Mark’s Parish has generously offered us the DVD
series at no charge and will allow us to buy 15 of their unused workbooks for $20 each, more than half off the regular price. To preregister by no later than Sept. 6, contact Roxanne or Alejandra at the
parish office or Gene Fadness at [email protected] or
call him at 890-2712.

"THE SHROUD OF TURIN:
GOD AND MAN SHARING”
Deacon Robert Villarreal from Los Alamos,
New Mexico, will present his talk, "The Shroud of
Turin: God and Man Sharing," on Friday, September 16, 2011 at 7 pm in the Holy Apostles dining
hall. Deacon Villarreal has been active since the mid-1970's in
the scientific study of the Shroud. Deacon Villarreal's talk makes
the case that the Shroud is authentic by using 100 scientific and
technical observational peculiarities. He further draws correlations to the theme of sharing between the Shroud and prayers in
the Mass. All are welcome to attend.
IT’S TIME TO SHARE YOUR
BOUNTY!
If you would like to share your bounty
from your garden with other parishioners, we will again be offering a “sharing

your produce with you to Mass or anytime during the
