PASTOR’S CORNER

Greetings, In this week’s Gospel from Luke we read: “if the master of the house had known the hour when the thief was coming, he would not Fr. John Henderson have let his house be broken into. You also must be prepared, for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come.” Preparation is a part of life. We prepare a meal. We prepare to go on a trip. We prepare ourselves for an outing. We prepare our house, proper locks, proper window securities, from robbers. What about our spiritual lives? God can call us at any moment, day or night, are we prepared? I’m getting ready for my trip to Rome in September. I have to make sure my passport is in order. I have to make sure I have enough clothes (mostly black shirts and black pants). Do I have the right suitcase? Oh so much to get ready. Do I give that much attention to my spiritual life? I hope so! Preparation is not always easy. What does it take to be prepared spiritually? Going to Mass is so important. The Eucharist is nourishment. The Eucharist is Jesus. We need Jesus. We need to accept our Lord totally and completely. Confession is a great way to prepare. We Catholics believe in the Sacraments and receiving the sacraments is such a blessing. Prayer is crucial. We need to pray every day, at various hours of the day, morning, noon, evening and night. Prayer is a great way to keep a relationship solid and communication open. Service is necessary. Feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, visiting prisoners are all parts of the Corporal and Spiritual works of Mercy. Preparation is necessary and a vital part of being ready. God does not work on our time so it would not be wise to hold off and think that one can start tomorrow. Preparation needs to happen now. God’s love is generous and for everyone. Be ready to open your heart to God because at any minute God may call you. Have a great week,

PARISH SCHOOL A Special Preschool Teacher Memory From This Past School Year I was so blessed to have such a wonderful and loving group of students this last school year. I will always remember how this group became so close with each other.

Whenever we would come back to the classroom after recess, my students knew they were to hang up their coats and sit quietly on the rug. With my eyes closed, I would do a count down to zero, asking if they were ready for me to look and see them ready to start our next activity. About half way through the year, they went through a phase where each time I would open my eyes, not only were they sitting ready, but they had their arms over each other's shoulders and giggling.

They would call themselves "one big family" and that touched my heart knowing that they grew to love each other so much. Like families, they grew together, argued, forgave, learned from each other, and created a bond like none other!

On-line Registration is open! Registration is needed for those who are: *Regularly attending Life Nights and other youth events. (For those going into their first or second year of Confirmation, the needed registration form is attached.) https://goo.gl/ouaoQo

With any and all questions or concerns, call Mary at 503-639-4179 x128

SHARED LEADERSHIP NOTES PASTORAL COUNCIL & COMMISSION REPORTS The Faith Formation Commission met on June 16th to review the status of the parish survey and plan the next steps in the survey process. Attendees included Mary, Gerlinde, Kathy, Veronica, Donna, Susie, Cindy, and Kevin. The Commission made the following decisions: •

The “target” for the minimum number of survey responses is 200.

•

The survey schedule was extended through the Summer.

• A number of actions will be taken to advertise the survey and promote responses, including an outreach during the fellowship time after Sunday masses.

The next meeting is scheduled for July 21st and all are welcome to attend!

Window into Divine Mercy It is difficult to find words to describe the extreme enthusiasm of the two million mostly young pilgrims who came from 6 continents and 186 different nations (including Israel, Iran, and Syria) to experience, share, and enrich their Catholic faith with their peers and through their encounters with our Holy Father during World Youth Day. There were many activities for them to take part in ranging from catechesis meetings, festivals, visiting holy sites, Masses, adoration, reconciliation, receiving spiritual advice regarding what they are called to in life, and of course the intense meetings with Pope Francis. The artistic presentations during these meetings were extremely well done and inspiring. Mercy was what they were to take back home to share with others. Pope Francis told them that God brings us mercy first by forgiving us, and then we become instruments of His mercy. The first act of mercy we show others is to put our hand out to them in a hand shake. Pope Francis expressed true understanding and wise fatherly love for this young generation. He advised them not to retire in their 20’s and sit on a coach. He warned them against becoming bored and boring others. This coach is laziness, drugs, being taken in by the empty and false illusions the world has to offer. He told them that they need to be authentic and visible Christians, which sometimes may mean going against the current. They need to be Christians who smile and emanate the love that God has for them. They should not be ashamed of their faith and need to form a Christian society which shows mercy to everyone. They should not allow their souls to become numb and should guard against the narcotic of self egoism. God looks into our hearts and not at our outer appearance. Our Holy Father stated that his intention is to build a church with no walls, a church which is not an institution, but a living church bringing peace to the world. About 2 million pilgrims attended each of the two ending ceremonies, but Pope Francis made it felt that he spoke to each person individually. His message was for everyone of every age. Many pilgrims being interviewed by journalists as they were leaving Cracow stated that WYD was the greatest experience of their life. I cannot express how intensely WYD touched me. Jesus, I trust in You - Losia Radominski

HISPANIC MINISTRY Saludos, En esta semana leemos en el Evangelio de Lucas: “si el maestro de la casa supiera la hora en que el ladro va a venir, el no dejaria que entrara a robar tu tambien debes de estar preparado, porque a la hora que no esperas, el Hijo del Hombre aparecera”. Preparacion es parte de la vida. Preparamos una cena, preparamos un viaje, nos preparamos para salir, preparamos nuestra casa, correctas cerraduras, con las correctas ventanas, de los ladrones. Y nuestra vida espiritual? Dios nos puede llamar a cualquier moemnte, de dia o de noche. Estamos preparados? Yo me estoy preparando para mi viaje a Roma en Septiembre. Tengo que asegurarme de que mi pasaporte este en regla. Tengo que asegurarme que tenga suficiente ropa ( la mayoria camisa y pantalones negros) tengo la maleta correcta? Muchas cosas que tener listas. Le dio esa atencion a mi vida espiritual? Espero que si! La preparacion no siempre es facil. Que se necesita para estar preparado espiritualmente? Participar de la Santa Misa es importante. La Eucaristia es alimento. La Eucaristia es jesus. Nosotros necesitamos a Jesus. Necesitamos aceptar a nuestro Señor total y completamente. La confesion es un buen camino para preparnos. Nosotros como catolicos creemos en los sacramentos y recibimos los sacramentos como bendiciones. La oracion es crucial. Nosotros necesitamos orar todos los dias, a varias horas del dia, mañana, al medio dia, la tarde y la noche. La oracion is el mejor camino para mantenernos en relacion solida y comunicacion abierta con Dios. EL servicio es necesario. Alimentar al hambriento, vestir al desnudo, visitar al prisionero son partes de las obras de misericordia espirituales y materiales. Preparacion es necesaria y vital para estar listo. Dios no trabaja en nuestro tiempo. No seria sabio aferrarnos y pensar que empezara a funcionar mañana. La preparacon necesita que sea ahora. El amor de Dios es generoso y para todos. Este listo para abrir su corazon a Dios porque a cualquier minuto Dios te puede llamar. Tengan un buena semana Tu amigo
