Sacrament of Marriage
A couple wishing to be married
in St. Patrick Parish must contact
the parish six months prior
to the intended wedding date.
Jesus
commissions his disciples to
baptize in his name (John 17:11b-19), reminding
them that he is always present through his Spirit.
Having ascended to his Father amid cries of gladness (Psalm 103), we are to be witnesses (Acts
1:15-17, 20a, 20c-26) for we have been gifted with
his spirit of wisdom (1 John 4:11-16).
The preface of today’s Mass gives us insight into
the church’s meaning of this feast: “He (Jesus) has
passed beyond our sight, not to abandon us but
rather to be our hope… where he has gone we hope
to follow.” Jesus has reached his final destination
and we hope to be with him some day.
And Jesus is not just “taking it easy” or basking
in his Father’s glory, receiving compliments from
his Father for a life well lived. No, He is at the right
hand of the Father where he intercedes for all of
us. His work is not finished—either in heaven or
on earth.
To continue his work on earth He commissions
his Apostles to go into the whole world and make
disciples of all the nations. This is done through
baptism and by teaching and preaching what
Jesus said and did.
Each of us is called to play our own role in this
task of Jesus. We do this as we respond in our own
way in faith, hope and charity, patience, kindness
and forgiveness.

La Ascensión del Señor
24 mayo 2009
esús comisiona a sus discípulos a
bautizar en su nombre (Juan
17:11b-19), recordándoles que
El siempre esta presente a través
de su Espíritu. Haber ascendido a su Padre
en medio de gritos de alegría (Salmo 103),
seremos testigos (Hechos 1:15-17, 20a, 20c
-26) porque nos ha dado su espíritu de sabiduría (1 Juan 4:11-16).
El prefacio de la misa de hoy nos da
perspicacia al significado que la Iglesia da
a este día festivo: “El (Jesús) ha pasado
mas allá de nuestra vista, no para abandonarnos sino par ser nuestra esperanza…
donde El ha ido, esperamos seguir.” Jesús
ha llegado a su destinación final y esperamos
estar con El un día.
Jesús no esta nada más descansando o
disfrutando la gloria de su Padre, recibiendo
aplauso de su Padre para una vida bien
vivida. No, Esta trabajando a la mano
derecho del Padre, donde intercede para
todos nosotros. Su trabajo no esta terminado
—ni en el cielo ni en la tierra.
Para continuar su trabajo en la tierra,
comisiona a sus apósteles que vayan al
mundo entero, haciendo discípulos de
todas las naciones. Esto esta hecho a
través del bautizo y enseñando y predicando
lo que Jesús dijo y hizo.
Cada uno de nosotros esta llamado hacer
el papel en este tarea de Jesús. Hacemos
esto cuando respondemos en nuestra
manera personal con fe, esperanza y amor,
paciencia, amabilidad y compasión.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
D
espués de los eventos del Viernes Santo los discípulos se encerraron en el Cenáculo porque tenían mucho miedo. Estaban precisamente ahí, donde habían celebrado
la Última Cena con Jesús. Según los
relatos que nos presentan los Evangelios, Jesús se les aparecería en
ese mismo lugar. De hecho, cuarenta días después de su muerte, Jesús
ascendió al cielo. Luego de que
Jesús ascendiera al cielo, los discípulos se quedaron atónitos viendo
hacia arriba. El famoso “Himno a la
alegría” nos invita a ver “más allá de
las estrellas”. Sin embargo, los
ángeles le dicen a los seguidores de
Cristo que dejen de ver las nubes y
se pongan a trabajar (Hechos 1:11).
Al regresar a su Padre, Jesucristo
envió su Espíritu sobre la comunidad cristiana primitiva haciéndolos
testigos de su resurrección. De esta
manera dieron inicio a la canción
que dice: “Que esperan un nuevo
día”, y esperando van cantado el
mensaje de aquel que estando en el
cielo puede vivir en el corazón de los
que le aman.

FATHER'S DAY EVENT
WILL FEATURE BISHOP SOTO
AT RIVERCATS GAME
ST. JAMES, GEORGETOWN
Fourth of July: URGENT...URGENT...Time has gotten away from us
and the Fourth of July is rapidly approaching. Usually, we do a fundraiser on the Fourth at the celebration in Garden Valley Park. We put
up a booth and sell shaved ice! It’s been successful for the past five
years and there is a “step by step” notebook with all the directions for
setting up the booth. Paul Patterson donates his shaved ice machine
and will happily train whoever is willing to be in charge. It’s work, but
can also be a lot of fun. We need a chairperson. Please contact Lisa
Patterson at 333.2292 or Trish Lyons at 622.5299 or any board member
if you are interested.
Funeral Coordinator: Carol Silva has taken on the responsibility of being
our “funeral coordinator.” She needs help. She needs a co-chair to
help her organize and she needs “worker bees” who are willing to help
cook, set up the reception and clean up afterwards. It’s easy when
there are more than two people doing all the work. If interested, please
contact Carol Silva at 333.0463.
Western Barbecue: Our biggest fundraiser of the year is rapidly
approaching. The barbecue date is set for Saturday, September 12,
and we have booked the “Stardust Cowboys” again this year. Please
mark your calendars! We are also looking for a chairperson for this
event. It has a “step-by-step” notebook with detailed instructions
about how to set up and run this fundraiser. Please contact Lisa Patterson
at 333.2292, Trish Lyons at 622.5299, or any other board member if
you are interested.
Child Care: My name is Caroline Schafer (age 18) and I have attended
St. James Church for over ten years. I am seeking any families in need
of my child sitting services over the summer. I have just finished my
second semester at Sierra College and am trying to earn some extra
money on my off time. I would enjoy spending time with your children.
I am great with kids and have extensive experience with children of all
ages. Please contact me at 530.333.3810.
Thank you, thank you... thank you to Carol Silva and her crew
for all the hard work they did for Norma Loudon’s family at her
funeral service. Until you have been in need of such a service you
do not realize how valuable it is.
Questions, comments, inserts…contact Trish Lyons at 622.5299.

of youth and young adult ministry
and family life invite the public to
celebrate Father’s Day on Sunday,

Thank you to Eileen and Al Hollywood who
made a gift to the parish of a new flag for the
square between the church and Gurnell Hall.
Both Eileen and Al are Navy veterans and their
daughter, Second Lieutenant Katelyn Reynolds is
serving in the Army with the First Engineering
Battalion, due to deploy overseas next November. Let us keep Katelyn and all of those who
serve in the military in our prayers.

TREASURES OF OUR TRADITION
n medieval times, one country, Scotland, linked its economy to the
liturgy. Four holy days of the church calendar were keyed to the legal
year. On these days, rents were due, clergy and servants were paid,
and contracts and leases would begin or end. The term days were
Pentecost (called Whitsunday), the Feast of Saint Martin on November
11 (Martinmas), the Feast of the Presentation on February 2
(Candlemas), and August 2 (Lammas), a harvest festival. On Lammas
day, the first loaf of bread from the summer wheat harvest was given to
the village priest. After the Reformation, which swept the Catholic festivals
away, the term days were gradually detached from the old feasts. It was
only in 1990 that the term days were anchored on the 28th of February,
May, August, and November. Today the old Scottish universities are the
last hold-outs, still naming their terms or semesters after the old festivals.
Scottish students today may not know about the liturgical year, but
they still call the fall term Martinmas, and the spring session Candlemas.
