Our Lady of Lourdes School
Enrollment Incentive
Are you looking for a faith-centered program
which instills a moral foundation and a spirit of
service in a safe, secure environment with qualified
credentialed teachers? Then this incentive might
be for you.
Fr. Roy and the Advisory Commission of Our Lady
of Lourdes School are providing a one time
Enrollment Incentive for Parish families who
would like to enroll a child or children in our
Parish School for Kindergarten through eighth
grade. We are offering Parish children the chance
to attend our school for a straight tuition of
$1,000 per child for the 2010-2011 school year.
This is a savings of $2,650.00.
If you are interested in bringing the experience of
a Catholic School education into your family,
please contact Barbara Genera, 458-8208. This
incentive is only for new families who have not
registered before for our Parish School.
Thank you, staff and students, for another great
year. Summer School starts June 14th.
Parish Collections
6/5-6
$2,955.00
Building & Maintenance
$998.00
May God reward your generosity.
BUILDINGS AND MAINTENANCE
The Parish Council and the Finance Committee
have approved the cleaning of the rectory, the
sealing of the Church to keep out bats, and the
annual inspections and servicing of the central
heating/AC units in the Church, rectory, and Parish
Center.
Funds received in the monthly
maintenance collections are being used to pay for
these services. The Church has some leaks which
are being addressed through the Diocese as capital
funds may have to be used to pay for these repairs.
Portuguese Festa
Mark your calendars – June 27th is the Annual
Portuguese Festa in Princeton. Mass begins at
11:00 a.m. at St. Joseph’s. This affects the Mass
schedule for Colusa. On Saturday, June 26th, the
Vigil Mass (in English) will be held at the normal
time, 5:00 p.m. On Sunday, June 27th, the only
Mass to be celebrated in Colusa will be at 8:00
a.m. in Spanish.
Year of the Priest
Rome is planning a celebration as the Year of the
Priest closes on June 19th. This does not mean that
prayers for priest should draw to a close. The weight
they carry as shepherds of souls requires constant
spiritual support from all of us through intercessory
prayer. As the Church continues to come under fire
from the media, we must remain strong as Catholic
Christians and pray that our priests will also have the
strength to carry this burden along with all the others
they carry.
St. John Vianney
The heart of St. John Vianney, who died
150 years ago, is incorrupt.
The
Diocese of Stockton will have St. John’s
heart on display from July 11-15th.

Anima Christi
(Prayer written by St. Ignatius Loyola)
Soul of Christ, sanctify me.
Body of Christ, save me.
Blood of Christ, inebriate me.
Water from the side of Christ, wash me.
Passion of Christ, strengthen me.
O good Jesus, hear me.
Within Thy wounds hide me.
Suffer me not to be separated from Thee.
From the malignant enemy, defend me.
In the hour of my death, call me.
And bid me come to Thee.
That with Thy saints I may praise Thee,
Forever and ever. Amen.
St. John Vianney Part II
St. John Vianney is the Patron Saint of
Priests. In continuation of last week’s
theme of Spiritual Communion, it was he
who said, “A spiritual communion acts on
the soul as blowing does on a cinder
covered fire which was about to go out.
Whenever you feel your love of God
growing cold, quickly make a spiritual
communion.”
J.M.J.
Diocesan Policy
The Catholic Herald/El Heraldo June 5th issue
contains Bishop Soto’s policy on stipends and
offerings.
In brief, “It is a fundamental tenet of Christian
revelation that the grace of God is free. Salvation
is pure gift, an act of extravagant generosity from
God that no human being can ever hope to merit
or pay back. Therefore, any practice that would
imply that a Catholic must pay for the sacraments
would be contrary to the Church’s understanding
of God’s love for the sinner, especially the poor.”
The article further clarifies, “Priests are allowed
to accept monetary offerings from the people
when celebrating a sacrament, but it must be clear
that the offering is given freely and the donor may
choose how much to give.”
Additionally, the policy outlines, “… (‘a
suggested donation’) for the use of Church
facilities when baptisms, weddings, or funerals
take place. Those donations are akin to an
exchange of goods for services because the
parishioner donates towards the financial support
of the parish in exchange for use of the parish’s
buildings, and many parishes depend on this
income to pay for the upkeep of its buildings and
other expenses.”
Finally, the Bishop lists recommended amounts
for various offerings and donations, “For Mass
offerings, the suggested amount is $10… Funeral
donations are set by the parish and average $150
throughout the diocese.”
In conclusion he states, “Any donation received
for baptisms, weddings, Quinceaneras or
blessings of houses, automobiles, or any other
building or blessing, go [to] the support of the
parish. If a gift, over and above the parish
offering, is made freely and spontaneously to the
priest, he may keep it; however, priests are
prohibited from soliciting, directly or indirectly, any
offering on such occasions.”
Jaime Soto, Bishop of Sacramento
