10th Sunday in Ordinary Time - June 7-8, 2008

SECOND COLLECTION TODAY FOR CATHOLIC COMMUNICATIONS

The Catholic Communication Campaign Collection will support THE VALLEY CATHOLIC operating budget for the fiscal year. The Diocese of San Jose benefits greatly from this newspaper, providing a great deal of news about our local Church as well as news of the national and universal Church. THE VALLEY CATHOLIC is the Bishop’s primary vehicle for communicating important Catholic news to the people of this Diocese. This newspaper operates with a very minimal staff that accomplishes multiple tasks and the newspaper itself is at limited pages and frequency. It receives no subsidy and relies totally on funds from subscriptions and advertising sales. Any questions regarding subscriptions, please call the Rectory Office @ 251-7055. Please be generous. Extra envelopes are available in the pews. [For information regarding television, radio, newspapers, magazines and internet programs supported by the Catholic Communications Campaign, please go to www.usccb.org/ccc.]

You Are Invited

to the Golden Jubilee (Retirement) Celebration of Father Stephen Perata next Sunday, June 15^th, at the 12:15 P.M. Mass. A reception will follow in the hall and on the parish grounds.

Don’t Forget Dad!

Father’s Day is rapidly approaching – Sunday, June 15^th. Father’s Day Spiritual Bouquet Cards are available on the tables as you leave Church today.

Power Lab Vacation Bible School, during the week of July 21^st-25^th, (kindergarten through 6^th grade) will give our children a new enthusiasm for God’s Word – and for Jesus! We will engage the children with fun, and science-minded surprises; they’ll see amazing things happen.

MARIAN (MEDJUGORJE) PRAYER GROUP. Pope John Paul II gave us an encyclical, Redemptoris Master, which indicated that we are heading for the manifestation of Jesus Christ and the renewal of the world through a Second Pentecost. Therefore he said, that consecration to Mary’s Immaculate Heart was the proper way to exist in this New Millennium. Since Our Lady preceded the first Advent of Christ she will be the one to lead us to this Second Pentecost. He then reminded us of the apostles gathered around Our Blessed Mother in prayer in the upper room. This mystery is experienced in two ways: 1) externally by coming together in prayer groups, and 2) internally by placing ourselves in the heart of Mary and praying with her.

Our Lady has asked us to form prayer groups and to pray for her intentions. She has given us the format. Please join us on Tuesdays at 1:00 P.M. in St. Victor’s Chapel. For more info, please call the Rectory Office @ 251-7055.

$CRIP gift certificates will be available after Masses this weekend, June 7^th & 8^th. They make great gifts for grads and dads, as well

as for all those summer weddings and celebrations.
