3 A letter from Fr. Ray Dear Parishioners, I would like to take this final opportunity to thank one and all for everything that you did to make my ministry among you over the past 4.5 years a time of sheer blessing and joy! I can never adequately express to you how much you have contributed to my life by your neverending support, love and care. Please know that I am grateful for your many gifts and kind wishes as I leave for Rome and anticipate future assignments in our Diocese. Be assured of my special prayers for you during my sabbatical, and particularly as I visit the sacred shrines and holy places of our faith. I hope that you will feel welcome to visit me at St. Mary, Walnut Creek when I return from my sabbatical in April, as well as at St. Joan of Arc, San Ramon when I begin my assignment there as Pastor on September 1, Our Diocese is geographically small, so I am confident that we will see one another again very soon. May God bless you always! Fr. Ray Sacca 3

We had inherited a practice called extreme unction, from the Latin words meaning anointing at the point of death. The deeper tradition, however, is about the prayer of faith that will heal and restore the sick person, and is straight from the Letter of James. The Fathers went back to the beginning, and while not discarding the extreme unction name, made a plea for the proper use of this sacrament. As soon as a person is in danger of death from sickness or old age, they reasoned, the time for the sacrament had already arrived. As a result of this desire, the next ritual text for anointing contained an innovation: a rite for visiting the sick that included readings from scripture, psalms, and prayers. Old customs fade slowly, however, and the quality of pastoral care languished for centuries while people delayed the celebration of a consoling and effective sacrament, sometimes missing the opportunity completely. A priest ministering to a dying and unconscious patient alone in a room has never been the desire of the Church. Our tradition is far too rich for this sacrament to be celebrated in such a diminished and ungenerous manner. Rev. James Field, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. AN ANCIENT BAPTISTERY One of the most ancient and enduring sites for baptism in Rome is the church of San Giovanni in Fonte. This church is in fact a baptistery, and houses the font for the Lateran Basilica, the cathedral of Rome. The Emperor Constantine sponsored its construction in the year 315, and it is therefore the oldest baptistery in the world. It is the model for nearly all later baptisteries, including perhaps the font in your own parish church. Rev. James Field, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. 7
