Sacrament of Marriage A couple wishing to be married in Saint Patrick Church or Saint James Church must contact the parish six months prior to the intended wedding date.

USING OUR TIME WISELY

A jar of honey lasts practically forever. The oldest jar of honey ever discovered was over five thousand years old. Honey is quite different from market-fresh produce, then; because most fruits and vegetables last only a few days, we treat them carefully. At this time of summer, we rush to find recipes for cherries and cucumbers so we won’t waste a single one. We wouldn’t feel that same urgency about honey. In our own way, we are as delightful and fragile as ripe produce. Today’s readings urge us not to spoil, but to make good use of our limited time on earth. Ecclesiastes reminds us that because God provides for us now and always, we can manage our daily affairs without anxiety. Saint Paul encourages the Colossians to keep thoughts of heaven in everything they do, and Jesus himself asks us to treasure not earthly wealth, but God alone.

USANDO NUESTRO TIEMPO SABIAMENTE

Un frasco con miel prácticamente dura por siempre. El frasco de miel más antiguo descubierto tenía casi más de cinco mil años de antigüedad. La miel es muy diferente de cualquier otro alimento producido; entonces porque muchas frutas y vegetales solo duran unos pocos días si las cuidamos. En este tiempo del verano, nos apresuramos a encontrar recetas para cerezas y pepinos para no desperdiciar ni uno solo. Pero no tendríamos la misma prisa para la miel. En nuestra propia manera, somos como una de esas frutas y vegetales frágiles y maduros. Las lecturas de hoy nos sugieren a no echarnos a perder, sino a hacer un buen uso de nuestros limitado tiempo en la tierra. El libro del Eclesiastés nos recuerda que ya que Dios provee para nosotros ahora y siempre, podemos admi-nistrar nuestros asuntos diarios sin ninguna ansiedad. San Pablo anima a los colosenses a mantener pensa-mientos del cielo en todo lo que hacen y Jesús mismo nos pide que no atesoremos riqueza terrenal sino solo a Dios. —Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

ENEMIGO DE NADIE Que no sea enemigo de nadie, y que sea amigo de

aquello que es perdurable y eterno. —San Eusebio de Vercelli

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS

Everyone,

Yesterday after church, I spent some time at my daughter and son-in-law’s house in El Dorado Hills along with their two children. Also, my other daughter and son-in-law came down to join us along with their three children. All five of my grandchildren at the same time along with their parents. We spent the after-noon interacting and watching the kids play. That is a great day for me. I did miss my other two children who live outside the area. Having all the family around would have made a great day perfect.

In a similar way, coming to church or a church event has the same affect for me. My friends are here. I get to interact and feel the warmth of their love and caring. A good day. Many in our church community need this feeling of warmth, caring and love in their lives but for various reasons aren’t coming as they once were. Please, if you know someone who fits this category, encourage them to come to church or our church functions and reconnect with our faith family. We all need to feel the warmth, caring and love of our church community here at Saint Patrick. Let’s make our good days together perfect by having all our friends here so we interact and show our love.

Sincerely,

Keith Flaherty, Grand Knight, Monsignor Hayes Council

NEWS FROM FAITH FORMATION

St. John Vianney

Feast day is August 4th Patron saint of priests. Through his dedication to his priesthood, prayer, fasting and penance he converted the townspeople of Ars and people flocked to him in the confessional. St John Vianney, pray for us.

Please remember to keep religious vocations in your prayers. For those who are discerning, that they seek and listen to God’s plan for them. And, for those who are already Priests, Deacons and Religious, may they be strengthened by our prayers and by the knowledge that they bring us all closer to God through the Eucharist and the Sacraments. Amen!
