Anthony Shao-Yuan Ip And Christina Tsai-Li-Ku July 25, 2009 The Sacrament of Confirmation confirms the presence of the baptismal gifts in a person. The effect of the Sacrament of Confirmation is the full outpouring of the Holy Spirit. The confirmed person is empowered to witness to the faith by openly professing and living out the Gospel message. We are forming a new group, classes will be offered for adults and teenagers in October. Please call Deborah or e-mail at [email protected] for more information.

Continuation….. Thank you, thank you, thank you to The Knights of Columbus, St. Timothy School, The Women’s Club, and Parishioners and Staff for your warm welcome to me as the new Pastor after all the Sunday Masses last weekend. A few of you from each of the groups named above were present most of the day and did a lot of the work so a special thanks to you-you know who you are. Another “thank you” is in order for the feedback from last weekend’s bulletin. Everyone who spoke to me about the bulletin was open and positive regarding it and the “pastor’s letter.” Since so many people favor a “pastor’s letter,” I would like to make a disclaimer right up front! I will happily write for the bulletin with the following exceptions: if I am away, on vacation, sick, too busy or otherwise indisposed, or if I need a rest or it becomes too difficult to write or it is not useful or helpful or people want to throw stones at me (sounds funny but I don’t want to die over a letter!). Indeed, the purpose for writing is to help us all become more like Jesus through our sharing in the Body of Christ, the Church, especially, our Church here at St. Timothy’s. I might also add, perhaps, to “hold your horses” since the reader may not always agree or want to hear (rather, read) what the writer is writing. Let me illustrate what I mean: the Gospels (Mathew, Mark, Luke and John), overall portray Jesus and God the Father as forgiving, loving, and accepting of us human beings (dare I say sinners). On the other hand, the Gospels also “challenge” us to leave everything behind, so to speak, and follow him: to love Him with all our hearts, with all our minds, and with all our souls, and to love our neighbor as ourselves. The latter is the challenging part; the former is the consoling part. So with my letters, the tone would be two-sided like a coin: consoling, challenging. Thanks to your reception too about how the bulletin works including the advertisers. In fact, two proprietors from our parish approached me in the hall last weekend, introduced themselves and showed me their ads in the bulletin. I went back to my home parish yesterday, picked up a bulletin, and noticed that my father still advertises (he has been doing so for as long as I can remember-he has his own business). Again, the bulletin still has some glitches and we are working in the office to eliminate those and make it as user friendly and helpful as possible. Since the Business Manager, Yolanda,

left last month we are trying to put together a team to do as good a job as she did on the bulletin (she was the bulletin editor). Another person who will be leaving this month is the Music Director, Frank Echeverry, who has also been part of St. Timothy’s for many years. We thank him for his service here at the parish and wish him the best in his musical pursuits. Every three years or so the readings at Sunday Mass during the summer for five weeks in a row are taken from the sixth chapter of the Gospel of John. This weekend is the beginning of that cycle and the readings are sometimes referred to as “the Bread of Life” readings since the theme in the readings is Jesus as the “Bread of Life.” The image on the front of the bulletin highlights today’s reading about the multiplication of the bread: a few loaves of bread, giving thanks to God, asking God’s blessing turns a few loaves into thousands and thousands of loaves to provide bread, food, for the crowd of thousands. The profundity of the readings gives us pause to reflect on these universal themes and look to the Bread of Life for sustenance. Have a great week!
