3 From the Pastor & Liturgy FROM THE PASTOR SUMMER IS WINDING DOWN As summer vacation time is coming to an end, as you can see from this bulletin, parish activities are picking up. It is time for registration for elementary Faith Formation, Middle School and High School youth groups, Confirmation preparation, and Music Ministry opportunities. You can also still sign-up to participate with the Sacred Heart team for Jubilee Service Day and for Cabrini Ministry training. Take some time during these August days to pray and discern what God may be inviting you to participate in for the months ahead. The more parishioners participate, the better we will be as a parish. Let us continue to work together to build up the Kingdom of God here at Sacred Heart. MUSIC MINISTRY NEWS Thank you so much for your generous welcome of me and my family. We feel warmly embraced by all the parishioners. It is hard to believe that I ve completed my first month with you all. There has been a lot happening behind the scenes this month, and I d love to share with you the Music Ministry news: * We have a new parish accompanist. Cecilia Choi plays the organ and piano and will accompany music for weekend liturgies as well as weddings and funerals. Feel free to stop by and say hello to her in the next few weeks. * Our Praise Band has already begun rehearsing for the return of the 5:00 PM Sunday evening Youth Mass starting on September 11. * I ve been talking to some of our youngest parishioners asking them to consider joining the Children s Choir which will resume singing at the 11 AM Mass on September 18. (We know even our youngest parishioners are very busy, so even a seasonal commitment to the Children s Choir is a lovely experience for those who have many activities). If your child will be in Grades 1-5 and would like to sing, please contact me. * The Sacred Heart Chorale will officially resume singing at Mass on September 11. If you are in Grade 6 or higher or are an adult and would like to sing in the Chorale, please let me know. As you are enjoying these final, not-so-lazy days of summer, I invite you to pray for the Music Ministry at Sacred Heart. Be sure to look for Music Ministry rehearsal dates and invitations to participate which will be posted in the coming weeks on the parish website and in the bulletin. I will also send an to all participants and parents who have been involved in the past years. If you or someone you know has a calling to music ministry, please let me know and I will contact them. Many Blessings. Theresa Galvez Pastoral Assistant for Liturgical Music FEASTDAY OF SAINT CLARE We will celebrate the feastday of Saint Clare on Thursday, August 11. Inspired by the Lenten sermons of her close friend St. Francis of Assisi, St. Clare of Assisi [1193/4-1253] renounced her wealth to found the Poor Clares, or Minoresses, a community of nuns devoted to a simple, austere life of prayer. She is the patron saint of television, due to a vision she had while lying sick in bed on Christmas Eve, in which she saw the crib and heard the singing as if she were present in the church. In art, she is often depicted holding a monstrance because she protected Assisi from attackers with the Blessed Sacrament. Her sister St. Agnes eventually joined the Poor Clares. (2016 Sourcebook for Sundays, Seasons, and Weekdays, 269) Currently there are about 20,000 Poor Clare nuns in monasteries throughout the world. FUNERALS THIS WEEK There will be a Funeral Mass for Eugene Hayes on Wednesday, August 10, at 11 AM (there will be no 9 AM Mass on Wednesday and no confessions from 8-8:45 AM on Wednesday). There will be a Funeral Mass for Terry Coyle, a former Sacred Heart parishioner, on Saturday, August 14, at 11 AM at St. Jude Parish in Redmond. MASS WITH ANOINTING OF THE SICK We will celebrate the sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick on Thursday, August 11, during the 9 AM Mass. Anyone of advanced age, who is seriously ill, or who is preparing for surgery can be anointed. INTERESTED IN SERVING AS AN USHER? Please consider serving as an usher at Mass on the weekend if you are 18 years or older. Ushers help people to feel welcome at Mass, assist with the collection, and help get the church ready for the next Mass. Ushers serve at Mass once or twice a month. There will be training next Sunday, August 14, at 9:45 AM in the Parish Hall. Please consider offering your time and talent as an usher; contact Carol Guenther at the Parish Office if you are interested or have questions. FLOWER DONATIONS Flowers were donated recently by Joyce Miller and Claire and Tony Wehrle from their gardens at home.

4 Pastoral Care & Social Concerns A Jubilee Year of Mercy Pilgrimage to Italy with Sacred Heart Church Spiritual Director: Fr. Steve Sallis 10 days / 8 nights October 19th-28th 2016 Our pilgrimage to Italy is an invitation welcoming God s mercy, grace, healing, and compassion into our lives. Walking in the footsteps of the saints, we will deepen our Catholic identity and relationship with Christ and the Church. Please contact Mary Dickins or mdickins@sacredheart.org for further information. CARE OF CREMATED REMAINS The cremated remains should be treated with the same respect we give to the body of the deceased. The remains are to be placed in a worthy vessel which then is carried and transported with the same respect and attention given to a casket carrying a body. Their final disposition is equally important. The cremated remains should be buried in a grave or entombed in a mausoleum or columbarium (a cemetery vault designed for urns containing ashes of the dead.) The practice of scattering cremated remains on the sea, from the air, or on the ground, or keeping cremated remains in the home of a relative or friend of the deceased are not the reverent disposition that the Church requires. The instruction also states that, if at all possible, the place of entombment should be marked with a plaque or stone memorializing the deceased. Taken from Catholic Update.

6 Administration & Stewardship A letter to all parents of young adults I can still remember that September day in 1998 when I dropped our first son off to college in Appleton, Wisconsin. We had spent weeks planning and packing and anticipating. My husband could not get time off work, so I was the designated parent for the task. We flew to Chicago and then met a long-time friend of the family who was our gracious chauffer. I knew I would only have 4-5 hours on campus to help with room set-up, last minute shopping and the orientation to the campus before it would be time to say good-bye. I had rehearsed that moment 100 times in my mind, but when it actually came, there were few words and lots of emotions. This was a big step full of hope and fear for both of us. I managed to leave the room relatively composed and then proceeded to break-down in tears at the end of the hallway as I was grabbing the head RA by the shoulders and telling him, in no uncertain terms, that he HAD to look out for my son and keep him safe! Thank goodness for my friend who was driving, because she ended up listening to me cry and laugh and babble for hours back to the airport. Fast forward to 2008, when I was dropping our fourth and last child off to college in Boston, MA. I had learned a lot about parenting young adult children away at college over the preceding years. And I had learned a lot about stewardship as a way of life as well. This time, I had the same hopes and fears, as I did for all our children as they left home, but I also understood that this was the time in the life-cycle of parenting that it was my job to share my child with the world and I was truly excited to do just that. Stewardship first calls us to receive and appreciate all the gifts God has given us and I had come to recognize that my children were some of my most precious gifts in this life. Stewardship of parenting calls us to appreciate our children s uniqueness, help develop and nurture their God-given gifts, share them with the broader world and encourage them to make the world a better place through the witness of their lives. Leaving home is all about sharing sharing our children with the world as they launch into their young adult lives and sharing this amazing world with them. When I understood that I was not losing them, but sharing them, the task took on real spiritual meaning and gave me great joy. So, for all of you who are sending off a beloved child this fall to school, or travel or employment or service in whatever way, please understand that this all about sharing our precious gifts with the world. After all, they were never ours in the first place. Peace+ Carol Guenther, Pastoral Associate ANNUAL CATHOLIC APPEAL RESULTS There s Still Time to Pledge!
