For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor present things, nor future things, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.. Rom 8: 38-39

" Above all, let your love for one another be intense, because love covers a multitude of sins. Be hospitable to one another without complaining.  As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God's varied grace. Whoever preaches, let it be with the words of God; whoever serves, let it be with the strength that God supplies, so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen." -- 1 Peter, 4:8-11

Growing In Faith Together

Christian Morality in the Catholic Context

Sunday, August 29 -- 11:00 a.m. Mass -- 2:00 p.m.

Lunch provided

OR

Wednesday, September 2 -- 6:30-8:00 p.m.

Our theme this year is “morality”. One might ask how we can talk about this for nine months when people know what it is already. But do we? There really is a lot more to explore than one might think. We are all more likely to be open to the challenges of living a moral life if we first understand its relationship to our creation in the image of God, to our freewill and our happiness or beatitude.

This theme is the fifth in a series of six. If you have attended GIFT all these years, you will have a well-rounded understanding of our Catholic faith at the end of next year!

Thank you for making a commitment to GIFT--we are a better parish for your trust and faithfulness.

For more information, call the office: 561-3580.

Change is coming!

GIFT: Growing in Faith Together

Faith is rarely "taught" and most commonly "caught." We believe that the most effective way of helping our younger Catholics know their faith is to help their parents and elders to know their faith, and to provide then with the tools and the knowledge to make this happen.

The transmission of faith happens most effectively in the home - "The Domestic Church" - where values, virtues and truths are expressed, shared and reinforced in the everyday experience of life.

We understand that the primary focus of catechesis in the parish needs to be adults, but we also need to help parents and grandparents with raising their children in the faith of the Church.

Please join us in our mission!

Reflections on Living the Paschal Mystery  


Meditations and Questions for this past week


(Click on the title for the text of the readings)

 

Twenty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time

Week of August 29th, 2010


Reading I:    Sirach 3:17–18, 20, 28–29   Conduct your affairs with humility.
Reading II:    Hebrews 12:18–19, 22–24a   You have drawn near to the city of the living God.
Gospel:    Luke 14:1, 7–14   Whoever exalts self shall be humbled and whoever humbles self will be exalted.

Question of the Week

God asks us to do for others without hope of repayment. This past week, what did you do for someone else for which you won't be repaid? Who are the people most in need of your generosity?

 

Twenty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time

Week of September 5th, 2010


Reading I:    Wisdom Of Solomon 9:13–18b   How can we know God, unless God gives us wisdom.
Reading II:    Phlm 1:9–10, 12–17   Receive another, not as a slave, but as a very dear brother or sister.
Gospel:    Luke 14:25–33   Whoever does not renounce possessions, cannot be my disciple.


Question of the Week

Jesus tells his disciples that they must renounce their possessions in order to be His disciple. If you had to, could you leave everything behind to be with God? What would hold you back? How much of a struggle would it be?

Sanctuary Crucifix

Every celebration of the Eucharist is a share in the cross of Christ, a proclamation of his death until he comes again. Therefore, the Church desires a crucifix to be placed in every sanctuary as reminder of this saving event. From the time of our renovation in 2006 we have planned to have a sanctuary crucifix. This has finally come to fruition with the installation and blessing of the cross that took place Saturday, August 1, 2009 -- the thirtieth anniversary of the founding of the parish. The cross is collaborative effort by Tim Vinci, a craftsman who took a donated plank and fashioned it into a cross with inserts, Cathy Valenzuela, a fused-glass artist who created the iridescent ruby glass inserts, and Fr. Kevin Novack, who painted the figure of Christ within the area Tim routed out on the main cross upright. The piece was designed to accent our worship environment, and to call to mind the great mystery of our faith. You are invited to step into the sanctuary some time and look at the cross more closely. May it help us to experience more deeply what Our Lord has done for all.
