WELCOME THE STRANGER We have become accustomed to seeing pictures in the media and stories on the news about immigrants from Latin America and refugees from Syria leeing violence and destruction in their own countries, trying to make their way to a safe place. We have also seen the reactions of people who want to keep them away from their countries, who fail to welcome the stranger and the helpless children. Have we forgotten Jesus’ call to comfort the homeless and the stranger? “They shall bring all your brothers and sisters from all the nations . . . to Jerusalem, my holy mountain, says the L .” In the three readings for this day, we are told that we are to welcome these strangers, to welcome the discipline of the Lord, which leads to peace, and to “strive to enter through the narrow gate” into the glory of God’s own homeland, the reign of God.

Saints And Special Observances Sunday: Twenty- irst Sunday in Ordinary Time Tuesday: St. Monica Wednesday: St. Augustine Thursday: The Passion of St. John the Baptist Saturday: Blessed Virgin Mary

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION The wonderful diversity of life and worship among Roman Catholics of East and West is an example of God writing straight with crooked lines. The steady hand of the villainous Emperor Diocletian drew a line across Europe and Africa that split the empire in two, and for the most part determined how Christians would worship two thousand years later. Italy’s heel and the far northern city of Trieste fell on the Eastern side, and have had a form of Eastern liturgy ever since. Constantinople, which soon became the seat of the Roman Empire, became a base for Christianizing the East up to Russia and Poland. Poland was on the Eastern side, but a series of wars and medieval mayhem pushed the religious boundary back to the Ukraine, and Poland remains an outpost of the Latin Church to this day. An old rule of thumb declared that whatever religion was observed by the local prince, the people had to follow. This gave rise to persecution and migration as people sought toleration for their expressions of faith. In the United States, we are accustomed to peaceful collaboration among Christians of East and West, a situation that challenges churches that still feel the pinch of age-old division.

"So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." ~ 2 Corinthians 4:18

ABCD Campaign

San Pedro’s Goal ~ $57,361.00 Donations So Far ~ $31,852.00 Goal Under ~ $25.509.00

Our heartfelt thanks to our parishioners that have already contributed to the ABCD Campaign.

San Pedro’s ABCD Goal is under in the amount of $25,509.00

If you still haven’t made your pledge for this year, please we urge you to do it as soon

as possible. Blessings! Thank you!

It is through selfless love that we grow in the holiness to which we have been called as

human beings created in the image and likeness of God, who is love. Spread love by supporting the works of the ABCD. Our standards in society are different from God’s standards. We often rank people by what they have, or how successful they are. Jesus reminds us that God will not judge us by the same earthly standards. When God asks you, “what have you done with the gifts I have given you?” How will you respond?

San Pedro Food Pantry The San Pedro Food Pantry Is Running Short on Non Perishable items that appeal to

children. Boxed cereal, macaroni and cheese, canned milk, cookies, crackers, snacks and proteins, (tuna, spam, ham, Vienna sausages etc.), vegetables (corn, peas, green beans,

mixed vegetables etc.), canned soups, spaghetti sauce, pastas, peanut butter etc... While making your grocery run please consider purchasing items

to help those needing help. Items can be dropped off in the baskets

located at all church entrances. Thank You!
