Pastoral Letter
XVIII Sunday in Ordinary Time In today’s Gospel, Jesus’ parable challenges each of us to re-assess true security. A rich man places all his security in amassing an ever-larger fortune. He dies suddenly losing all the false security that he worked hard to acquire. To whom, will his inheritance go? More importantly, what has he done with his life to enrich himself in what matters to God? A poem attributed to Father Pedro Arrupe, SJ (1907-1991), offers insights into the power of that which we love. Reflect on it to help you focus your life on what has eternal value, on what matters to God.
Fall in Love
Nothing is more important than finding God, than falling in Love in a quite absolute, final way. What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination, will affect everything. It will decide what will get you out of bed in the morning, what you do with your evenings, how you spend your weekends, what you read, whom you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude. Fall in Love, stay in love, and it will decide everything.

Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time August 4, 2019 Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain wisdom of heart. — Psalm 90:12

A TRUE KNIGHT FOR TODAY by Supreme Knight Carl A. Anderson THE HEROIC WITNESS OF KENDRICK CASTILLO DEMONSTRATES THE FULLNESS OF A
LIFE LIVED FOR OTHERS One day last May, Kendrick woke up as if it were any other day. An 18-yearold young man, he went through his normal morning routine, packing his backpack and heading to school in a suburb of Denver. It was an exciting time for him. As a high school senior, he looked forward to his graduation only days away and the promising life that lay before him. But on that Tuesday afternoon, everything changed. After lunch, as Kendrick sat at his desk, a troubled student entered his classroom and pulled out a gun. In that instant, Kendrick made his decision he charged the assailant. Kendrick gave his fellow classmates the precious seconds they needed to hide or escape, before he was shot. But while he courageously saved lives, he selflessly gave up his own. In Kendrick Castillo, a life was tragically lost’ but a true hero was born. As a nation, we mourn Kendrick’s death, even as we celebrate his courage. As an organization, the Knights of Columbus is especially moved by his example of selfless sacrifice. His father, a member of the Knights, has said that his son “wanted to be a Knight of Columbus because he wanted to help not only people, but his community.” Kendrick Castillo did exactly that. A faithful Catholic to the end, he lived and died according to the teaching of Jesus Christ: “Greater love has no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends”. In a better world, Kendrick Castillo would still be with us. Sadly, that is not the world we live in. But that doesn’t mean we have no hope. Heroes give us hope. There have always been and there will always be those who inspire us with their selfless actions. Heroism lives in ordinary people who do extraordinary things. They practice the timeless principles of courage, truthfulness, humility and self-sacrifice. Like Kendrick Castillo, they put the interests of others ahead of themselves, even if it costs them everything. If we look around, we’ll see that plenty of people still embody these characteristics in their daily lives. They are often unknown or unacknowledged because they don’t seek publicity. They also come from unexpected places and their heroism emerges at unforeseen times. One of the most inspiring aspects of serving as supreme knight has been meeting so many brother Knights who are true everyday heroes — heroes who sacrifice to advance our principles of charity, unity and fraternity. We are told that Kendrick Castillo wanted to join the Knights of Columbus and so to be more like us. My sincere hope is that because of his example, our brother Knights will want to be more like him. Vivat Jesus! (Knights of Columbus, 1 Columbus Plaza, New Haven, CT 06510)

Formación de Fe para Niños:
Querida comunidad de San José,
Espero que todos estén disfrutando la temporada de verano. Mientras reflexiono y espero con ansias el nuevo año escolar, recuerdo que Jesús nos reta a recordar que los bienes del mundo están destinados a ser compartidos por todos. Recordemos pensar en los demás y poner nuestras necesidades al final. Pidamos perdón y escapemos de nuestras posesiones mundanas para que realmente podamos poner a Dios primero.
Pido a todos los miembros de la familia que recuerden a nuestros hijos lo importante que es asistir a misa y que pidan perdón por lo que hemos hecho y lo que no hemos podido hacer. Llamamos a esta oración el Confiteor.
Con esto en mente, espero con ansias el primer día de clases en la escuela católica St. Joseph. Me gustaría dar la bienvenida a las muchas familias nuevas que comenzarán su viaje en St. Joseph, así como a nuestras familias actuales que han dado tanto a nuestra escuela. ¡Les deseo a todos un nuevo año escolar exitoso! Bendiciones JoAnn Telles, M’Ed Principal en St. Joseph
