Financial Information Sunday collection: (August 17, 2014) $8,048.00 Assumption $1,582.00 God s Plan for Giving Tithing is God s plan to support His Church. Full tithing means 10% of income to God. We ask half of this, or 5% for your Parish Church. Twenty-First Sunday in Ordinary Time Peter was Jesus choice to lead the fragile band of apostles. In today s Gospel, Simon is given a new name Peter, the rock. In John s Gospel, Peter is called to be a shepherd. He is expected to lay down his life for his sheep. And tradition tells us that he did just that. But today we think about the durable rocklike quality that Jesus needed in a leader. Peter was appointed to his leadership position for reasons we are not able to fathom. God knows, and Jesus knew well, that Peter was flawed. We cannot mistake his enthusiasms, though, his manifest love, and his great, exuberant faith. Those virtues saw him through. They are durable, tough, beautiful virtues. They make Peter a sympathetic and lovable person. They provide us with the balance and humor that we need as we consider our own roles in the universal church.

Each year the Catholic Church offers a program for adults who feel called to conversion to the Catholic Faith. This process usually begins at the beginning of the school year, around early September, and concludes at Easter time. During this period, men and women who seek to become Catholic will go through a period of learning the Faith in order to understand our Catholic beliefs and to make a well-informed decision about becoming a Catholic. Very often, a Catholic who has been baptized but has not received the other Sacraments of Initiation, Holy Eucharist and/or Confirmation, also joins the program in order to complete their sacraments. If you fit into this category or if you know a family member that does, I invite you to consider joining the R.C.I.A. Program yourself or invite your family member to do so. If you are interested, please call the rectory and leave your name and phone number and someone will get back to you with more information. This program is also open to anyone who wants to learn more about their Catholic Faith or anyone who would like to assist the program as a catechist. It is a great way to share your Faith with others!

PREP CLASSES "The Word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart - that is, the word of faith which we are preaching..." (Romans 10.8) St. Paul says that Christ is within us and it is only through sharing our faith that He becomes real in our lives. As Catholics we are charged with the deposit of faith, which is passing our faith onto our children. Consider being a part of this great adventure by becoming a catechist or catechist aid.

Domingo Vigésimo Primero "Tú eres el Mesías, el Hijo de Dios vivo"! Ante esta confesión de fe, Jesús le dice: "tu eres Pedro, y sobre esta piedra edificaré mi Iglesia." Palabras misteriosas pero admirables pues Jesús confía el gobierno de su Iglesia a una persona frágil pero creyente. Es el mismo Señor quien gobierna y guía a su Nuevo Pueblo. Pedro ejerce su ministerio de servicio a favor de todos en la unidad, la caridad y la construcción del Reino de Dios. Pidamos por el Papa Francisco para siga llevando la presencia de Jesús y su mensaje de salvación a todos los pueblos.
