WEEKLY SCHEDULE Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time July 22, 2012 Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I will raise up a righteous shoot to David. — Jeremiah 23:5a THE DAYS ARE COMING Separation, isolation, and hostility are terrible things. We are, sadly, too familiar with all of them in our modern life, whether we look at world events or events in our own neighborhoods and families. All three readings today refer to these same sad human conditions. The prophet Jeremiah describes world conditions as if the people of his time were sheep who had been scattered by poor leadership and corrupt shepherds. But “the days are coming,” he assures us (Jeremiah 23:5), when a new shepherd, a just king, will come. We meet that king in the second reading and the Gospel. Paul reminds us in the Letter to the Ephesians that all divisions can now cease in Christ Jesus, who has brought us together through his blood. In Mark’s Gospel we see Jesus himself, looking with pity on those searching for him as if they were sheep without a shepherd.

We thank Msgr. Andre for his generosity of giving his time and talent for some of our Masses. I cannot think of any other way without his support. God is so good that we have Msgr. Andre. There are changes in the Mass schedule that we shall have to do. Changes are not always welcome, especially when we have been rooted, like an institution, stereo-typed Christians, and some of us are not ready to let go. The transition process is not easy, such as moving, changing jobs or your children moving out. It is not always a welcome process because we have developed emotional “realities” and “traditions,” and the thought that they will all end is difficult. We create a wilderness zone. But the question is, “Should we remain or grow?” It’s up to us. In life there is always a new beginning, there is a future by our sacrifice of our present comfort zone. I ask your precious virtue of patience as we go through this hard time, and I do ask for your help by keeping me safe and strong, so that I can serve you even longer, as I have to be in four different locations of this Parish. This is all I ask, and I know you will understand. God bless you, and please keep me always in your prayers. 4:00pm 6:00pm Our Lady of the Sierra/Arnold St. Patrick’s /Murphys 8:00am 8:30am 10:00am 10:15am St. Patrick’s/Murphys St. Ignatius/Copperopolis Our Lady of the Sierra/Arnold St. Patrick’s/ Angels Camp Sunday Weekday Masses Monday/Tuesday/Friday 8:00am Angels Camp Communion Services Wednesday 8:00am St. Patrick’s/Murphys Thursday 8:00am St. Patrick’s/Angels Camp IF YOU HAD A MASS INTENTION SCHEDULED ON A WEDNESDAY OR THURSDAY, IT WILL BE MOVED TO THE NEAREST AVAILABLE MASS TIME, UNLESS YOU CALL THE PARISH OFFICE AND REQUEST DIFFERENTLY.

Another successful week moving Corvette Raffle tickets and getting closer to the goal of raising $40,000 for our Parish! At this writing, not everyone on the committee has checked in as yet, but right now we are past the 450 mark! And with all expenses now covered, everything else is profit. We appreciate that so many of you are giving your support with the “buy one, sell one” (or sell 2) campaign, and it is certainly helping the numbers go up! We’ve also had several people who are going in together to purchase a “shared” ticket. This is where 2 or more people go in together to purchase one. For example: 2 people at $50 each or 4 at $25. If the ticket wins, they split the cash. We recommend you put a plan together yourself with a few family members or friends, but the committee can also help. Just contact your committee representative using a check, cash or credit card. Please continue to get the word out! The drawing will take place on Sunday, August 5, from Noon to 3 pm, in the hall at St. Patrick’s in Angels Camp. This will be a Wine & Cheese reception where each raffle ticket will be read before putting it into the drawing drum. All are invited, and we encourage you to come and celebrate! With only 2 weeks left to go, we need everyone’s help! Tickets are available from fundraising committee members and at the parish office. The goal is BIG, but so is our GOD! Beginning in August the Parish Council will meet the 2 nd Monday of each Month at 6:00pm in Murphys Social Hall August 2nd Collections August 5th August 12th Maintenance and Repair Sisters of Charity Mission Appeal (Online Giving – Special Collection)
