PASTOR'S CORNER
CHRISTIAN
INITIATION
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Today’s Gospel (Luke 5:1-11) tells us about Jesus preaching to the people. He is on
the shore of Lake Gennesaret and the people are pressing in on him. He chooses a
better vantage point in Simon Peter’s boat. Jesus asks him to row out a short distance
so the people can hear his message. Most likely Simon and his mates were listening
to Jesus as they prepared their nets for the next night. Jesus finished preaching and
then asked them to put out into deep water and lower their nets for a catch. Simon
Peter protests that they tried all last night and caught nothing. But something in the
preaching of Jesus has touched his heart and he obeys the Lord. They catch so many
fish that their nets are tearing and even with the help of their partners in another boat
now both boats are close to sinking.
The effect on Simon Peter is to fall to his knees and cry out, “Depart from me, Lord,
for I am a sinful man.” But this admission of sin does not make Jesus leave, instead
Jesus says, “Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men.” These fishermen
leave everything and follow Jesus.
Do we feel like we’ve tried to make it and have come up empty? Do we feel Jesus
asking us “lower your nets” one more time? Do we protest, “What’s the use, Lord, I just
can’t do it; it won’t work.” When we try to do things our way without the Lord we come
up empty. Try following the Lord and see what happens. “Do not be afraid.”

The St. Joseph
Mission Circle
members have a
l o n g - e s t a bl i s h e d
tradition of saving a
‘dollar-a-week’ each
year to give to the Missions we support.
This is the thirteenth year the parish
has joined us with a Lenten collection.
We are once again placing yellow
envelopes in the pews and asking
families to take one home and add a
dollar a week to it and then return it to
the collection basket before or on Palm
Sunday. This will enable us to continue
helping missions in Kenya, Ethiopia,
India and Mexico. We thank you for
your continued generosity which has
helped us to send over $30,000 to our
missions over the years. If you have
any questions about the St. Joseph
Mission Circle or the “Dollar-A-Week,”
please contact Jean Rustemeyer at
714-842-0390.

World Marriage Day honors husband and wife as head of
the family, the basic unit of society. It salutes the beauty
of their faithfulness, sacrifice and joy in daily married life.
The theme for WMD has been permanently adopted as
"Love One Another". This phrase is the commandment
given us by Jesus in John 15:12. It speaks to us in a
simple but challenging way of how our Heavenly Father
wishes us to live. Loving one another is a daily decision
- simple, but challenging.
The World Marriage Day Symbol speaks of the role and values we proclaim. Husband
and wife are symbolically seen as two candle-like figures, reminding us that married
love calls us to help enlighten the world. The couple is joined by a heart, focusing
on love as the power that fosters unity within the couple and generates the capacity
to be life-giving and inspire others to fruitfulness and unity.
MARRIAGE ENRICHMENT WORKSHOP
FOR MARRIED COUPLES - Saturday, February 16, 2013
The Diocesan Offices of the Deaconate, Ministry to Priests and Pastoral Care will
be hosting a Marriage Enrichment Workshop for Married Couples. The guest will
be Dr. Jim Healy. The workshop will take place at Marywood Auditorium, from 8:30
am-12:00pm. Cost is $20.00 per couple. For information call the Office for Pastoral
Care at (714) 282-4203 or visit our website: http://www.rcbo.org/pastoral-care.html
MARRIAGE MINISTRY
“Love is a decision” is a
maxim from the Marriage
Encounter (ME) movement.
Wonderful as marriage can
be, it’s not always lived on
an emotional high. Some days, we must just
decide to love. The feelings will eventually
follow.
If you have not been on a Marriage Encounter
weekend and are considering investing some
time into your relationship, please visit the
Marriage Encounter website and look for
a weekend that will fit your busy schedule.
http://ocwwme.org/ or call 714-873-5136.
Looking for a special gift for your spouse
this Valentine's Day? Consider sharing
four evenings during our Treasure Your
Marriage series April 2,9,16,23. Come heal
and renew your relationship. L e a r n
some new tools to strengthen
and enrich your marriage.
Please sign up in the parish
center.
MINISTRY OF THE MONTH
The Traditional Choir
The Traditional Choir sings at the 10:30 AM Mass on Sunday in addition to participating in
liturgies during the Easter and Christmas seasons.
The choir originated during the warehouse days in 1965 and was known to sing while rain was dripping through the
roof cracks during occasional rainstorms at that time. Previous directors have been Sue Andres during the warehouse
days, followed by Lorraine Stiles, John Hermann, Dr. Pat McCollam, Dr. Bob Luft and the present director, Wingate Greathouse. Many
members of the choir have participated for a long time, although no one can come close to recently retired Truce Kuyper, having sung
as a tenor for 42 consecutive years!
The choir is now in the process of preparing for the Easter Season and welcomes new members to join in the celebration of the Mass
through hymns and other musical selections. Members of the choir enjoy many benefits such as a reserved seating, which by the way
is generously padded, at all masses, an excellent view of all celebrations, and the camaraderie of the members. Of utmost importance
is the opportunity to participate in the liturgies more fully with songs of praise. An added benefit is the opportunity to advance in your
general musical capability under the guidance of our present director, Wingate Greathouse.
Prospective choir members can join for a trial period, such as the Easter Season, and then decide if they wish to continue. Occasional
absences are not a problem. The church year is broken down into 4 sections: Fall through Christmas, Winter through Easter, Spring,
and Summer (for which the choir is off). You can commit to only singing specific seasons.
Although it is not necessary, having a general understanding of music and being able to "carry" a tune is a plus. A short, non-threatening
audition is required, to determine in which section to place you. Being a professional singer is not a requirement. All sections of the
choir have openings available. Prospective new members should contact the Director of Music, Wingate Greathouse, at 714-846-3359
x 497 or music@stbonaventure.org.
The choir practices in the Choir Loft on Thursday nights for 2 hours starting at 7:30 PM and sings at the 10:30 Mass as mentioned
previously. We hope to see you there!

Dear Beloved Parishioners,
As some of you may know, I am
planning to run the LA Marathon
this year on March 17. This is my
second marathon and I really
enjoyed doing it. The purpose of
my marathon this year is I will run
for our parish, which means all the
money that I receive from sponsorship will go directly to
the Building Fund. This will be exciting and absolutely
a good cause. Together, we can renovate our church.
In Christ,
Fr. Thanh-Tai Nguyen
P.S. if you have any intention and would like me to pray for
you or family, please tell me in person or send me a note
that our front desk staff will put in my mailbox.

CONVERSION OF THE HEART
In the Evangelization Prayer for this Year of Faith, we ask
our heavenly Father:
Stir in my soul the desire to renew my faith, deepen my
relationship with your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ so that
I might truly believe in and live the Good News. ...
PARISH MISSION
STATEMENT
As Christian stewards, our mission is
to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ
to all people through word, sacrament,
service, and community life.
The Season of Lent is a good opportunity to search for a deeper spiritual
meaning in our life journey and to develop our inner spirituality.
Included with many resources available, we are offering six weeks of reflection topics
which are entitled Conversion of the Heart. Come as you can to one or all of them.
Compiled from excerpts from the Gift of Faith book, these reflections may help us draw
closer to the Lord during this Lent and Paschal Season. You are invited to join one
of three groups at St. Bonaventure for one hour per week to reflect, share, and gain
insights on how God meets us and is actively present in our daily lives. Meetings will
start on Tuesday, February 19.
Tuesdays, 9:30-10:30 a.m., Sr. Brigid's room
Wednesdays, 7:30-8:30 p.m., Sr. Brigid's room
Thursdays; 7:10 a.m.-8:00 a.m., Religious Education Building

DÍA MUNDIAL DEL MATRIMONIO
10 de Febrero
El Día Mundial del Matrimonio honra al marido y a la mujer como cabeza
de la familia, unidad básica de la sociedad. Aclama la belleza de su
fidelidad, sacrificio y alegría en la vida diaria conyugal. Nuestro tema del
DMDM ha sido adoptado permanentemente como “Ámense unos a otros”.
Este es el mandamiento que nos dio Jesús en el evangelio de San Juan capítulo 14. De
un modo sencillo pero retador, nos habla de cómo nuestro Padre desea que vivamos.
Amarnos unos a otros es una decisión diaria y sencilla, pero retadora.
Nuestro símbolo del Día Mundial del Matrimonio habla del papel y los valores que
proclamamos. El esposo y la esposa están simbólicamente representados como dos
velas, recordándonos que el amor matrimonial nos llama a ayudar a iluminar el mundo.
La pareja está unida en un solo corazón, enfocada en el amor como el poder creador
de unidad en la pareja y genera la capacidad de ser dadores de vida e inspira a otros
a la unidad y a dar frutos.
LA CENIZA
Cuando era niño mi padre me llevaba al rancho
de mi abuelito en México. En una de esas visitas
mi abuelo y mis tíos estaban quemando la tierra
en su rancho. Mientras el fuego ardía, papa
Manuel nos explicaba que era necesario reducir
todo en cenizas para que la tierra recobrara sus
fuerzas y quedará más fértil. Sin saberlo, mi
abuelo me dio la imagen que hasta hoy sostiene
mi concepto del Miércoles de Cenizas y de la
cuaresma.

El Miércoles de Cenizas es la fiesta cristiana que por lo menos doce siglos ha señalado
el comienzo de la Cuaresma. No cabe duda que para los Latinos este día es de particular
atracción. Es uno de los pocos días del año litúrgico en cual llegamos al templo en masa
por tal de recibir las cenizas en la frente.
Nosotros somos un pueblo enraizado en la tierra y sabemos que la tierra necesita quemarse de vez en cuando para seguir produciendo. Nosotros como la tierra necesitamos
dominarnos y cultivarnos para producir frutos y flores para el Señor y los demás.

CRS Rice Bowl in Lent
SAVE THE DATE
As mentioned last week, our parish community is invited on
a Lenten journey with the CRS Rice Bowl program. On Ash
Wednesday this week, students at St. Bonaventure School will be
given a CRS Rice Bowl packet for their families. Then next Sunday,
we invite families who do not already have a Rice Bowl to pick one
up after Mass and take it home so the whole family can participate
in this spiritual journey. In the bulletin for each Sunday of Lent, we
will have a spiritual reflection based on that Sunday’s Gospel. Also
each week, we will learn a little about people in a different country
around the world, and how our support has improved their lives.
At www.crsricebowl.org, you can watch a 3-minute video about the
country we are focusing on, get recipes for cooking simple meals
to eat alongside the poor, and follow the Rice Bowl calendar for
daily inspiration. Through the videos, we will learn about special
programs which are helping people with their specific local needs,
including an irrigation system in Burkina Faso, a tuberculosis
clinic in East Timor, education for poor children in Lesotho, a
community savings group in the Dominican Republic, a clean water
project in Pakistan, and a food pantry in Oakland. A US project
is included because 25%
of the money collected in
the Rice Bowl drive stays
in the local Diocese to
combat hunger locally.
Please pick up a Rice
Bowl packet and journey
with us!
