It was what I called an exhilarating tired. It was three days of being Christ for others, so they could realize the importance of having Christ at the center of their lives. The Cursillo weekend acknowledges that men and women are different, not in a bad way, but in a good way. God created us to be different so that men and women could complement each other- complete each other. Perhaps you remember that quote from the movie Jerry Maguire- You complete me! Men and women can be different in their spirituality and that is one of the reasons that Cursillo has separate weekends for men and women (two in the Spring and two in the Fall). This week I will be part of the men s Cursillo weekend from Thursday evening (September 13) until Sunday evening (September 16) at Our Lady of the Pines retreat center in Fremont. Please keep me, the Cursillo team and the nine men who will be attending in your prayers for a wonderful Spirit-Filled-Weekend. Msgr. Dennis Metzger will be presiding for the Sacred Heart weekend Masses and Fr. Ken Littelmann will be presiding for the St. Joseph Sunday Masses. I am grateful to both to be filling in for me when I am gone. Although I will be away next weekend, you will still be in my prayers. This is an opportunity for me to participate in a Diocesan ministry that has helped a lot of people over the years and brought them closer to Christ. There are so many wonderful people involved in the Cursillo ministry and it has been a privilege for me to be a part of something that brings so much joy to people s hearts. May the joy of the Risen Lord be in your hearts as well! Thanks, and God Bless!!! Fr. Chris

3 3 CONVOCATION CENTER KITCHEN CLEANING: The kitchen cleaning is done, thanks to about 20 parishioners. In about two weeks time every thing and every surface in the entire kitchen was cleaned. A few members even cleaned out the storage room in the basement. When the majority of the cleaning was done, a different (like new) dishwasher was installed and tuned-up, the floor was stripped and waxed, an all the appliances were re-installed. It has been an amazing transformation. I d like to also acknowledge that many of our brothers and sisters commented on the solidarity they experienced in working shoulder-to-shoulder for our common goal. Things didn t always go smoothly, but this group persevered and we can again be proud of our clean kitchen. With much gratitude, The Building and Maintenance Team DO YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO HAS EXPRESSED INTEREST IN HOW AND WHY WE, AS CATHOLIC CHRISTIANS, CELEBRATE OUR FAITH THE WAY WE DO? Do you have a friend, co-worker or spouse who is not Catholic but attends Mass with you regularly and might be interested in learning more if they were only invited? The RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) is how you can invite family or friends who have expressed an interest and do not know where to start. Our next group of inquirers, those who have expressed interest or are just curious, will begin sessions in September. For additional information or to express interest for yourself or someone you know, please call or text Katie Rietschlin at (Sacred Heart) or Kim Legge at (St. Joseph) or call the parish offices. Deadline for applications is September 9th. Thank you! All are kindly invited to spend time in prayer before our Lord in the Most Blessed Sacrament imploring him to heal all abuse victims, to reform the hierarchy and clergy, and to cleanse the Church of all evil. The Most Blessed Sacrament will be exposed on Friday, September 14, the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross. This will take place at St. Joseph, beginning at 9:30 a.m. and concluding with Benediction at 9:30 p.m. Megamoolah Mania Strikes Again!
