IMPORTANT ANOUNCEMENT: The Parish Hall is scheduled to open this fall and with it comes an obligation to conform to
fire and safety exiting requirements. The General Manager of the San Miguel Community Services District, and the Fire Chief, re-
quire that we observe the following without exception for all facilities open to the public, that is, the Parish Hall and the present site
of daily and weekend Mass, the winery and/or our Temporary Chapel:
Disabled persons, persons requiring the use of walkers and persons requiring movement in wheelchairs who attend events
in either the Parish Hall or the winery are to be situated at the rear of these facilities, immediately to the side of the main exit of the
facility. In the case of the winery and/or Temporary Chapel, wheelchairs will be located in the last row to the immediate left of the
entrance when facing the altar. The same placement will be used within the Parish Hall. Wheelchairs are not to be brought to the
front of either facility lest they block egress for the majority of the parishioners. Communion will be brought to those who are
walker or wheelchair bound. This should be implemented immediately. Sincerely in Christ, Fr. Ray Tintle, OFM

Youth Group “Ejército de Cristo”— Have started their meetings every Tuesday at 7:00 pm in the Parish Classroom.
All young boys and girls are invited to join. If you have any questions, please call the Parish Office or come to the class

FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK……

SUNDAY, AUGUST 16, 2009

My Dear Fellow Parishioners,

When we think of our best friends, our most intimate and deep relationships, we
know these relationships did not just happen. Developing relationships takes time, work,
and commitment. We explore our feelings and beliefs as well as those of our friends as
we communicate with each other. We learn to trust and gain confidence in the faithful-
ness of our friends.

Our relationships with God are a little different. God already loves us. God invites
us to forsake foolishness and live with wisdom and understanding. We need only respond
to God’s invitation. Our response involves the same commitment as our relationships
with close friends. Yet we can trust that God loves us unconditionally; he loved us even
before we accepted his invitation to be in relationship with him.

We grow in our relationship with Christ in many ways, the most intimate being
when we receive Holy Communion. Then we go forth from God’s house to share what
we have received.

Saint Paul’s Letter to the Ephesians this week urges good behavior. He reminds us
that we are to do what God asks. As we accept this offer of the greatest of gifts of his Son
Jesus Christ, we turn away from foolish ways of acting and seek to live as wise people
filled with the Spirit of Jesus Christ.

Sincerely yours in Christ,

Father Raymond J. Tintle, OFM

QUESTION FOR THE WEEK: How do I celebrate the wisdom and understand God of-
fers?

DESDE EL ESCRITORIO DEL PARROCO……

DOMINGO, 16 DE AGOSTO DE 2009

Muy Queridos Co-Parroquianos,

Cuando pensamos en nuestros mejores amigos, nuestras relaciones más íntimas y

profundas, sabemos que estas relaciones no surgen de la noche a la mañana. Cultivar las
relaciones lleva tiempo, trabajo y compromiso. Cuando nos comunicamos con nuestros
amigos, exploramos nuestros sentimientos y creencias así como los de ellos. Aprendemos
a confiar y adquirimos confianza en la lealtad de nuestros amigos.

Nuestras relaciones con Dios son un poco distintas. Dios ya nos ama. Dios nos in-
vita a renunciar a la insensatez para vivir con sabiduría y comprensión.Solo debemos res-
ponder a la invitación de Dios. Nuestra respuesta implica el mismo compromiso que
nuestras relaciones con amigos cercanos. Sin embargo, podemos confiar en que Dios nos
ama incondicionalmente; nos amaba incluso antes de que aceptáramos su invitación a es-
tablecer una relación con Él.

Crecemos en nuestra relación con Cristo de diversas maneras, la más íntima es

cuando recibimos la Sagrada Comunión. Luego, salimos de la casa de Dios para compar-
tir lo que hemos recibido.

San Pablo, en su carta a los Efesios esta semana, nos insiste que nos portemos
bien. Nos recuerda que debemos hacer lo que Dios nos pide. Al aceptar su ofrecimiento
del mayor de sus regalos, su Hijo, Jesucristo, nos alejamos de las maneras insensatas de
proceder y buscamos vivir como personas sabias llenas del Espíritu de Jesucristo.

Con mucho afecto en Cristo,

Padre Raymond J. Tintle, OFM

PREGUNTA PARA ESTA SEMANA: ¿Cómo celebro la sabiduría y comprensión que

Dios me ofrece?
