Sr. Mary Annette Scofield, RSM HOLY NAME OF JESUS MEMORIAL/FOUNDATION FUND An appropriate way of expressing love and respect in memory of a deceased relative or friend, or of presenting a gift for any special occasion in the life of a relative or friend, is to make a financial contribution to a good work. The Holy Name Memorial/Foundation Fund was developed in order to provide members and friends of Holy Name Church to take part in providing various items of worship, as well as the upkeep of our buildings and grounds in general. Memorials are given for many reasons. Some are given in memory of a family member or friend who died, some are given in honor of a special person on a special occasion, and some are given because of a determined need. If you wish to offer a gift, please send a note with the name of the person you are honoring, and the name and address to send the gift notification to along with your check made payable to Holy Name Church.
FAZtor s Notes by Fr. Arnold Zamora We have been celebrating the many great feasts and solemnities of the church, this time we celebrate the 11 th Sunday in Ordinary Time. But this Sunday is not an ordinary Sunday, because we celebrate Father s Day. So, at the outset, let me greet all the fathers, Happy Father s Day! According to Wikipedia, Father s Day was founded in 1910 by Sonora Smart Dodd and its first celebration was in Spokane, Washington in June 19, 1910. That was more than 100 years ago. I know the purpose of the celebration is the same, but the way it was celebrated must be different and so were the fathers in the 1900s. Here are some of the differences: In 1900, a father's horsepower meant his horses. Today, it's the size of his minivan. In 1900, if a father put a roof over his family's head, he was a success. Today, it takes a roof, deck, pool, and 4-car garage. And that's just the vacation home. In 1900, a father waited for the doctor to tell him when the baby arrived. Today, a father must wear a smock, know how to breathe, and make sure film is in the video camera. In 1900, a happy meal was when Father shared funny stories around the table. Today, a happy meal is what Dad buys at McDonald's. In 1900, a father came home from work to find his wife and children at the supper table. Today, a father comes home to a note: "Jimmy's at baseball, Cindy's at gymnastics, I'm at Costco, Pizza in fridge." Regardless of the century, 20 th or 21 st, and the differences, we continue to honor our fathers and the many people who made a difference in our lives. Congratulations to our Holy Name Parish Nurse, Carol Elliot, as we honor her in recognition of her valuable and noble work for the parish and to the whole of humanity. We also honor Sr. Rita Chen, FdCC for her dedicated service to the Archdiocese in San Francisco for 26 years. Sr. Rita worked at St. Cecilia s for 5 years, she also worked at Holy Name for the after-school Chinese school program for 7 years. She spent 13 years at St. Brendan s as RCIA and Baptism coordinator. St. Brendan s will celebrate her retirement this Sunday at the 9:30AM and 11:30AM masses. She will be making a permanent move to the Canossian Convent in Hong Kong by the end of this month. Honor your father and your mother, the commandment says. That includes your elders, brothers and Sisters too. COLLECTION FOR THE CONGREGATION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT This weekend s Second Collection is for the Congregation of the Holy Spirit (Spiritans), an international Religious Congregation working in 60 countries, spread on every continent, dedicated in serving the poor and marginalized anywhere the church calls upon them. Please give a warm Holy Name welcome to Fr. Matthew Amoako-Attah, C.S.Sp. a Spiritan priest from Ghana, West Africa. He is currently the Parochial Vicar for St. Benedict and St. Mary s Parishes. Fr. Matthew has worked in the missions in the Gambia where the population is 95% Muslim. He will speak to us at all the Masses. The proceeds from the appeals will go help their missionary work and help out in the training of over 80 seminarians, in the Holy Ghost seminaries in Ghana and Nigeria. The Holy Spirit Fathers are devoted to working with the less advantaged people. Your support will help them serve the poor and train missionaries. NEXT SUNDAY S SECOND COLLECTION IS FOR OUR PARISH BUILDING AND MAINTENANCE FUND. HOMEBOUND THANK YOU Sister Herminia and the Homebound Committee wish to thank all those who volunteered to help with the Homebound Mass and reception on Saturday, June 10, 2012. The volunteers included decorators for the Altar and dining area, servers, drivers and all who donated food and money to make this occasion a success. Our special thanks to Fr. Arnold. Again, thank you Jackie and Colleen for all your administrative help. Big, big thanks to Mani Glanz, Roonie & Terry Flaherty for all their help, & dedication to the Homebound Ministry.

A MUST SEE!! FILM SHOWING OF THE DVD SERIES CATHOLICISM Thursday evenings from 7-8pm starting June21st-August 23rd in the Flanagan Center A visually splendid and intellectually satisfying introduction to Catholic Christianity is provided by the 10-part video series Catholicism. Written and hosted by Father Robert E. Barron, a priest of the Archdiocese of Chicago, Father Barron is certainly not lacking in academic credentials. He holds a doctorate in sacred theology from France s Institut Catholique de Paris and serves as the Francis Cardinal George professor of faith and culture at the University of St. Mary of the Lake/Mundelein Seminary. He s also been a visiting professor at the University of Notre Dame and Rome s Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas, colloquially known as the Angelicum. Father Barron displays a knack for conveying complex ideas in easily grasped, televisionfriendly terms. His enthusiasm as a narrator also serves to keep the pace pleasingly rapid. As he explores the identity of Jesus, the main topic of Amazed and Afraid: The Revelation of God Become Man, the first episode screened, the globetrotting Father Barron visits lushly photographed holy sites in Bethlehem, Galilee and Jerusalem before traveling on to various sacred locales around Rome. Classical religious artwork smoothly panned and zoomed in the style justly known among broadcasters as the Ken Burns effect provides further engaging imagery. The substantive discussion carried on behind these visuals introduces viewers to the messianic expectations laid down in the prophecies of the Old Testament and to the surprising, sometimes paradoxical, manner in which Jesus by his life, death and resurrection fulfilled them. A first-rate DVD resource for teen and adult religious education, this is a must-watch program for all old enough to profit from it Catholicism enlists sophisticated production values and an elegantly crafted script in the service of explaining and celebrating the faith.

What I Learned from You by Gary Hennerberg Celebrating the Wisdom of our Dads Make Hay When the Sun Shines When it s sunny, and the forecast looks good, it s time to bring out the equipment and take advantage of the circumstances of the day. Not every day is sunny, and not every day in life brings opportunity. I learned from you that when times are good to make the most of it. Sharpen Tools on a Rainy Day When it rained and we couldn t go to the field, we used our time wisely by sharpening tools, doing maintenance, or other tasks that would give us a jump start on the season. I learned from you that those rainy days are actually a gift from God to refresh, renew and make us better. Do Two Things at Once You taught me to have two things going at the same time. Some tasks don t require constant monitoring and a second task can be started before the first task is completed. That s the art of multi-tasking, and the ability to get twice as much done in the same amount of time. I learned from you that by multitasking I can double my effectiveness. Keep Machines Cleaned and Maintained We washed the machinery and conducted routine maintenance as an automatic ritual. It made them look years younger than their actual age, and cost less money to operate in the long run. That attitude you instilled in me continues today with an ethic to take care of my belongings and treat them with respect. Stay Between the Lines A clean field requires staying between the rows when cultivating it. When you stray outside the rows, you ll needlessly destroy precious crops. I stay within the lines in my personal life and do what s right for my business associates. I learned from you to be careful not to do anything that would destroy what we cultivate. Take the High Road An improper act shouldn t result in an improper response. Better to take the high road and be able to hold your head up with pride knowing that you did the right thing. I learned from you that often the best response is silence, and that good fortune returns when you treat people with respect. Go To Church Every Sunday and Trust God We went to church every Sunday. It s a lifelong habit you instilled in me. With my trust in God, I m able to step back and recognize a greater power. Trusting God reinforces the real priorities of life and family. And just as importantly, it has given me the freedom to know that at the end of the day, and at the end of time, everything will be all right. This Father s Day tribute, "What I Learned From You," by Gary Hennerberg shares seven foundational family and work ethic life lessons. These are life lessons he observed from his dad, a strong role model, while growing up on a farm in Nebraska.
