A Message from Father Roberto
Parish theme for this year: Be Disciples. Make Disciples.
Mother Teresa Exhibit
The Missionaries of Charity are having an exhibit on the life of Mother Teresa at the Cathedral of
Christ the Light in Oakland October 2-9 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily and a special Mass on October
9 at 10 a.m. All are invited.
Circles of Commitment
“Commitment” is a scary word for many of us; we are often afraid of
commitment. But that is precisely what Jesus calls us to in our faith:
commitment to him and to each other in the Body of Christ. To the
left you will see a diagram called the “Five Circles of Commitment.”
These circles lay out for us what God is calling us to be and to do as
individuals and as a parish community. As we have been saying in
our current preaching series, “Be Disciples…Make Disciples,” we are
especially called to reach out to the people in the outer circle: these
are the unchurched people in the local community. They can be family
members, friends or even total strangers. These are not bad people;
they are simply the people who often have little or no commitment to God or to faith. They are
people we come in contact with in a million ways in our lives, and they are ultimately the ones we
want to help encounter Jesus and, if possible, to bring to Holy Rosary.
Eventually, we want to help these unchurched people – who either never come to church or who
come only on special occasions – move to the next
circle of commitment called “the crowd.” The crowd is
made up of those people who come to church at least
now and then. I would say that most of you who come
to Holy Rosary are part of the crowd. That is a good
start, but it is only a start because we want to help the
crowd progress into the deeper levels of commitment.
So, in the first three circles of commitment, we are
trying to move people from simply having an awareness
of Holy Rosary to attending Holy Rosary and then
becoming active members here. The people out in
the local community talk about “that church;” the
crowd – those who are attenders at Holy Rosary –
talk about “this church;” but the congregation – our
actual members – talk about “my church” or “our
church.” Members have a sense of ownership. They are
contributors, not just consumers. You are not a member
of Holy Rosary just by coming to Mass here or just by registering or just by giving in the collection.
Becoming an actual member will be a big step for many of you because membership requires a
real commitment to our mission of being disciples and making disciples.
The next circle of commitment is to become a mature member that is committed to growing in the
faith. This is an ongoing process for all of us because a disciple never stops learning and growing.
Every year we offer many ways you can grow in your faith, and this year we have more than ever.
It’s time for you to do something for God and for yourself. Take the leap and become a committed
member of our parish. And if you are already committed, then take the next step to deepen your
faith and your commitment.
Finally, the innermost circle of commitment is called “the core.” This is the group of people who
truly make this parish function. The core are those people who are truly committed to serving
God and others and who actively seek to share their faith and bring others to Jesus. These circles
of commitment are not meant to imply a judgment on who is a better person or who is closer to
God; they simply help us understand more clearly what Jesus is calling us to be and to do as his
disciples. It is our goal to get as many of you as possible into that circle of core members. So my
question for all of you today is where are you in those circles of commitment? I challenge you to ask
yourself where you are and if you are willing to move to the next level of commitment.

Learning to
Live the
Experience of
Discipleship
Throughout this year on Tuesday Evenings, “CALLED” will provide a comprehensive
overview of CATHOLIC THEOLOGY that looks at what the Church BELIEVES and how we
are called to LIVE as DISCIPLES of Jesus. Presented by a variety of local Theology Teachers, each Tuesday’s 1-hour presentation will be accompanied by a discussion guide for
groups and individuals and suggestions for further reading and study. The title of each
class and the name of the Teacher will be posted in the bulletin each week. You can
come to every class or choose to come when a particular topic interests you.
THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO CONNECT OF RECONNECT WITH THE
CHURCH’S RICH TEACHINGS IN A SYSTEMATIC WAY.

Un Mensaje del Padre Roberto
Lema parroquial para este año: Sean Discípulos. Hagan Discípulos.
Exposición de Madre Teresa
Las Misioneras de la Caridad tendrán una exposición sobre la vida de
Madre Teresa de Calcuta en la Catedral de Cristo la Luz en Oakland el 2-9
de octubre de 10 a.m.-5 p.m. diario y una Misa especial el 9 de octubre a
las 10 a.m. Todos están invitados.
Círculos de Compromiso
"El compromiso" es una palabra que espanta a muchos de nosotros; a
menudo tenemos miedo al compromiso. Pero eso es precisamente a lo
que Jesús nos llama en nuestra fe: compromiso con él y con los demás en
el Cuerpo de Cristo. A la izquierda verás un diagrama llamado “Los Cinco
Círculos de Compromiso.” Estos círculos trazan para nosotros lo que Dios
nos está llamando a ser y a hacer como individuos y como comunidad
parroquial. Como hemos dicho en nuestra serie predicación actual, “Sean
Discípulos…Hagan Discípulos,” estamos especialmente llamados a llegar a
las personas en el círculo exterior: estas son las personas en la comunidad
local que no van a ninguna iglesia. Pueden ser miembros de nuestra familia,
amigos o incluso desconocidos. Estas no son personas malas; simplemente son las personas que a menudo tienen
poco o ningún compromiso con Dios o con la fe. Son personas con las que tenemos contacto de un millón de
maneras en nuestras vidas, y en última instancia son las que queremos ayudar a encontrar a Jesús y, si es posible, a
llegar a Santo Rosario.
Con el tiempo, queremos ayudar a estas personas que no tienen iglesia – que no llegan nunca a la iglesia o que
vienen sólo en ocasiones especiales – que pasen al siguiente círculo de compromiso llamado “la multitud.” La
multitud está compuesta por aquellas personas que vienen a la iglesia por lo menos de vez en cuando. Yo diría
que la mayoría de ustedes que vienen al Santo Rosario son
parte de la multitud. Ese es un buen comienzo, pero es sólo un
comienzo, porque queremos ayudar a la multitud a progresar a
los niveles más profundos de compromiso.
Así, en los primeros tres círculos de compromiso, estamos
tratando de mover a la personas de simplemente tener
alguna idea del Santo Rosario a asistir al Santo Rosario y
luego convertirse en miembros activos aquí. La gente en la
comunidad local habla de “esa iglesia;” la multitud – los que
asisten al Santo Rosario – habla de “esta iglesia;” pero la
congregación – nuestros miembros verdaderos – hablan de “mi
iglesia” o “nuestra iglesia”. Los miembros tienen un sentido
de propiedad. Son contribuyentes, no sólo consumidores. Tú
no eres un miembro del Santo Rosario con sólo venir a Misa
aquí o simplemente por registrarte o por dar algo en la colecta.
Convertirte en un miembro verdadero será un gran paso para
muchos de ustedes, porque requiere un compromiso con nuestra
misión de ser discípulos y hacer discípulos.
El siguiente círculo de compromiso es llegar a ser un miembro maduro que está comprometido con el crecimiento
en la fe. Este es un proceso continuo para todos nosotros porque un discípulo nunca se deja de aprender y crecer.
Cada año ofrecemos muchas maneras en que puedes crecer en la fe, y este año tenemos más que nunca. Es el
momento que hagas algo para Dios y para ti mismo. Da el salto y conviértete en un miembro comprometido de
nuestra parroquia. Y si ya estás comprometido, da el siguiente paso para profundizar tu fe y tu compromiso.
Por último, el círculo más interno del compromiso se denomina “el grupo central.” Este es el grupo de personas
que realmente hacen que funcione esta parroquia. Estas son aquellas personas que están verdaderamente
comprometidas a servir a Dios y a los demás y que buscan activamente a compartir su fe y traer a otros a Jesús.
Estos círculos de compromiso no pretenden dar a entender un juicio sobre quién es una persona mejor o quién
está más cerca de Dios; simplemente nos ayudan a entender más claramente lo que Jesús nos llama a ser y a hacer
como sus discípulos. Nuestro objetivo es mover el mayor número de ustedes como sea posible en ese círculo del
grupo central. Así que mi pregunta para todos ustedes hoy es ¿dónde estás en esos círculos de compromiso? Te
reto a preguntarte dónde te encuentras y si estás dispuesto a pasar al siguiente nivel de compromiso.

Harvest Fair Thank You
The last two days was a celebration of community and
love! Our Harvest Faire and all of its components was
successful! It took weeks and a large group of Holy
Rosary Parishioners to put on an event that usually takes
months. There are so many people who worked diligently
to make this happen. Thanks to Marc and the Parking
Lot Ministry for taking on the task of set up and tear
down. It's quite a job but they did it!!!! So many people
to thank...Lesli Reano and her team of decorators; Nora
von Ubin for taking on the task of tickets, Joe Reano
and the bands that he was able to get for free; all of
our "bank family' who keeps the money flowing; the
chairpersons of all the booths; those who made candy
and worked the GALS booth; those who supported
the YLI baked goods by baking or working; those who
donated and worked in the Country Store; Our Lady of
Fatima and Hispanic communities for their wonderful
dinners; Holy Rosary School for Kiddieland and the
Hamburger Booth; The African, Filipino, and Hispanic
communities for their traditional food; all the kids
who worked the games or played the games; Knights of
Columbus, who besides running the Linguica and Beer
booth, was there to help when needed; the Marchetti
family who returned for their annual Micro Brew booth
and their ever popular TV; Brenda Gorball for her
successful attempt at Sangria; the Boy Scouts who added
Dr. Pepper Floats to their Root Beer Floats; our Security
Team who kept us safe; Toni Morris who organized
the helpers for the games; Mary Chapman who is now
known as our
"Garbage Queen; and last but not least Sharon Del
Chiaro who picked up every loose end and tied it into
a knot. Extra thanks to the 2nd graders of Holy Rosary
School for their wonderful songs!
We were blessed to have Father Vicente with us for
a few hours. He was so happy to see all of his friends
and they happy to see him. I hope I haven't forgotten
anyone but the odds are that I have. Please know it is not
intentional just an oversight from someone who is tired
as all of them. God bless Holy Rosary for their amazing
community spirit and love of our parish! We surely have
shared the love of God with our own parish members
and all their friends and families who joined us this
weekend. Thank you! Thank you! We did it!
