Today’s Readings
First Reading — Brothers and sisters of
every race and language will be
brought to Jerusalem (Isaiah 66:18-21).
Psalm — Go out to all the world and tell
the Good News (Psalm 117).
Second Reading — Be strong and endure your trials as the “discipline” of a
loving God, for it will result in the
peaceful fruit of righteousness
(Hebrews 12:5-7, 11-13).
Gospel — People from east and west,
north and south, recline at table in the
kingdom of God (Luke 13:22-30).
No one is to be excluded from the kingdom for all peoples are called to proclaim the praises of the Lord and confess his holy name. No ethnic or religious group possesses exclusive right
to the kingdom. Suffering and pain are
part of the human condition.

Altar Flowers
DID YOU KNOW?
Do you have a loved one, birthday,
graduation, Baptism or anniversary you
would like to remember at Mass? Donating altar flowers is a lovely way to do it.
Donations and intentions will be listed in
the bulletin. Altar flower donations are
$100 per week or $300 for the whole
month and all donations are tax deductible. For more information please contact
our parish office.
Swimming is a fun way to have some fun and beat the heat during the
summer. Parents should teach their children about swimming safety,
including how to identify and handle uncomfortable situations. Although you
may be watching closely to make sure your kids are safe in the water, don’t
forget about when they’re walking around, sitting out by the pool, using the
restrooms or out of sight. Teach your children what to do when they feel
uncomfortable at the pool, and let them know it is okay to walk away and find
a parent or trusted adult at any time. For more information and a copy of the
article called “Know the Rules…Summer Safety Tips to Teach Children” from
the National Center for Missing and Exploited, email jvienna@laarchdiocese.org or call (213) 637-7227.

La natación es una manera divertida de combatir el calor durante el verano.
Los padres deben enseñar a sus hijos sobre la seguridad acuática, incluso
cómo identificar situaciones incómodas y cómo reaccionar en estos casos.
Aunque usted los está vigilando atentamente para asegurar que los niños
están a La seguridad en la piscina implica más que saber nadar salvo en el
agua, no se olvide de poner atención cuando los niños caminan o se sientan
alrededor de la piscina, usan el baño o cuando están fuera de la vista.
Enseñe a sus hijos qué hacer si se sienten incómodos en la piscina y que al
cualquier momento está bien huir y buscar un adulto de confianza. Para más

Prayer for Vocations
Jesus, you are the Good Shepherd. You know each of us and You call us by
name to serve You in faith.
Give courage and guidance to those you call to the priesthood, diaconate
and religious life. May they respond wholeheartedly and serve devoutly.
Through Christ our Lord, Amen.
Jesus, tú eres el buen Pastor. Tú nos conoces y nos llamas por nuestro
nombre para servirte en fe. Dales valor y guía a los que Llamas a la vida
sacerdotal, diaconal y religiosa. Que respondan y sirvan con todo su
Corazón y devoción. Por Jesucristo nuestro Señor. Amén.

St. Philip the Apostle School News – a
message from Principal Jennifer Ramirez
This week we welcome our students and families
back for the start of the 2016-17 school year. Did
you know that this year's kindergarten class is the
graduating class of 2025! Time is flying and yet I want
to take a moment to count our blessings. Here are
just a few of them:
 Wonderful parish support
Integration of faith in all that we do
Full enrollment
Long time teacher stability
Current and rigorous curriculum
State of the art technology
Rainy day reserves
Outstanding co-curricular program
Successful students in high school
Returning Alumni with their children
Amazing parent support
Active and effective PTO and School Board
I could go on and on. How did we end up in such a blessed place? It has been
generations of commitment, dedication, and hard work on the part of teachers,
administrators, parishioners, and parents. Pray daily for wisdom and for
God's continuing grace so that I can lead our school in a way that honors all
those who came before us. I also pray that those who are less fortunate than
we are could be equally blessed.
