From the Office of the Bishop
Our hearts are heavy as we mourn the senseless loss of life across our country
this week, in Baton Rouge, in Minneapolis and in Dallas. We pray for mercy,
for consolation and for healing for those who have lost loved ones, for those
who have been killed and wounded, and for those whose hearts have been twisted by hatred.
Let us also pray for courage, for each of us, to answer this escalating cycle of
violence with more powerful acts of mercy and love. All lives matter, no matter
the color of our skin or the profession of faith we make. We are all children of
God and all human life is sacred and precious.
Please join me in seeking common ground, and in calling upon our civic leaders
to work together to find resolution to this escalating violence. Love is stronger
than hate, but it requires each of us to act with courage and compassion.
Let us recall the words of Pope Francis, “May the God of peace arouse in all an
authentic desire for dialogue and reconciliation. Violence cannot be overcome
with violence. Violence is overcome with peace.”

Diocese of Oakland

“From
the last decade of the first
century, Peter's grave was already
being venerated, in secrecy, it was
true.
- Emperor Julian
It was always thought that Peter was buried
under St. Peter's Basilica but astoundingly, it
was not until the 1939-1941 excavation repairs that his tomb and bones were found!
Graffiti “Petreni' stated Peter was inside.
Among 105 people buried under St. Peter's
was that incription “Peter, pray to Christ Jesus for those pious people buried near your
body.“
On the table today, find fascinating materials
on the Vatican!

Discuss as a Family: Most of our
When do you make time for the
"better part" - spending moments
with the Lord?
Families Sharing Faith: A guest
shows up, probably unexpectedly, and
the hostess, Martha, knocks herself out
trying to do everything at once. The
guest, Jesus, sits down and makes himself at home. The sister of the hostess,
Mary, sits with Jesus, and listens
thoughtfully. When Martha complains that
she is doing all the work, Jesus tells her
that she has forgotten the most
important thing. She has neglected to
listen to Jesus, whose words are more
nourishing than any meal.

lives are a combination of Martha and
Mary. (Even cloistered monks and nuns,
devoted to lives of prayer, have hours of
work every day.) However, if our lives
are all-Martha-all-the-time, they may be
out of balance. We may be missing "the
better part."
The Catechism of the Catholic Church, in
its discussion of observing Sunday as a
day of worship and rest, declares,
"Traditional activities (restaurants,
sports, etc.) and social necessities (public
services, etc.) require some people to
work on Sundays, but everyone should
still take care to set aside sufficient time
for leisure" (Catechism, 2187). Most
people in our country are working more
hours a week than ever before. How does
this affect their families, their children?
What is the responsibility in this area for
Catholic supervisors and managers?
How can we put more Mary-like
listening into our lives? When do we
make time to listen to our families?
our friends? When do we make time
to listen to Jesus?
FAITH FORMATION TEACHERS
NEEDED!
Will you give 1-1/2 hours/week to bring
God’s Word to our children? Training
and resources are provided. The blessings
are incalculable! Call Jan: 362-1906.

Father Gerry said the blessing before the dinner. An announcement was made that Fr. Gerry celebrated
his 45th Anniversary of Priesthood on June 15th. Everyone gave him a grand applause.
The theme was Father’s Day, and the tables were decorated, (keeping fathers in mind) with golf, 49ers,
Hot rods, ties and hats. We sang “Happy Birthday” to those who celebrated in June. Food and desserts were enjoyed.
Jim Huckestein read some funny sayings. Here are a few:
Good Reasons for Joining a Seniors Group
“You try to strengthen out the wrinkles in your socks, then realize you aren’t wearing socks”
“It takes you longer to rest up then it did to get you tired”
“A Pastor’s Proverb… The laughter of children in the congregation is very comforting-unless it’s directed
at you”
“The Forgotten Beatitude…. Blessed are you if you can laugh at yourself; for you shall never cease to be
amused”
FINALLY: We have a message from God…. “That ‘love thy neighbor thing.’ I meant that!!”
See you all on Friday, Sept 16th at 5:45 pm. Enjoy the summer break in July and August!
Again, much thanks to all who make Classic Club a success. We appreciate all you do.

St. Isidore School continues to strive to keep tuition as low as possible. The
revenue from tuition and key fundraising events covers approximately 82%
of the schools actual operating costs. This leaves a “Gap” of approximately
$500 per student. This past year “Mind the Gap”, tuition and our fund raising
efforts collectively raised the necessary funds needed to effectively run our
school. The benefit of “Mind the Gap” to school families, grandparents and
extended families is that your generous donations are tax-deductible. Whether
you are able to donate $100 or $10,000, every donation benefits our children
and our school. Please donate to “Mind the Gap” today and help make a
difference!
