FAZtor ‘s Notes by Fr. Arnold Zamora The first of September this year was Labor Day, although it meant a “non-working day” since it was a holiday. It reminded me of the work that

we have had done and some that is yet to be done. We are parking on a newly resurfaced schoolyard since last weekend. All our children are now enjoying the newly painted outside courts. Our school children entered our school through newly painted corridor walls. Our Pastoral Center now has emergency lighting, in case of a blackout. My Pastoral Center office now has new blinds and curtains. And there are other little things we did and maybe a few ones that have escaped my memory. Now we are starting to fix those church doors that keep banging. Our bigger project is the church bathroom addition, which we hope will commence soon. We already have a permit to start with and the next step is to select our contractor. Hope-fully, we can accomplish this project before the end of the year. The church organ repair is still on my list of big projects. And there are also other little things we will need to be doing or to upgrade. Our Parish Fall Dinner this weekend will surely help in our efforts to maintain our facilities. If the dinner profit is not enough to build a bathroom, it is surely a great avenue to build a parish community. I extend a Thank you to all who helped in putting on this dinner, especially to Angela Testani and her helpers, and thank you for all your support. May you receive a lifetime of blessings because GOD is your giver. May you grow strong in character because GOD is your helper. May you bring joy to others because GOD is your song. May you know fulfillment because God is your life. God bless you more and more! Our hospitality after the Sunday 9:30AM Mass returns this weekend; please join us for coffee and donuts in the St. Francis Garden, near the Grotto of our Blessed Mother. Our Wednes-day “hospitality” (aka small breakfast) after the morning Masses started last Wednesday, with big breakfast prepared by Linda and Tony Sideco to celebrate Linda’s birthday. I wish Linda a Happy Birthday and may you have more years to celebrate with us as a parish volunteer, Eucharistic Minister and so much more. Our Parish Religious Education classes also start this week-end and so does our Rite of Initiation for Adults (RCIA). A catechist told her class, “We have been learning about how powerful kings and queens were in biblical times. But there is a higher power. Who can tell me what it is?” Little Jonnie blurted out, “I know! I know! Aces!”

The Second Vatican Council: A 50th Anniversary Retrospective By the twenty-first Ecumenical Council of the Catholic Church, October 11, 1962-December 8, 1965; Edited by Jerry Back

Question: How is man and culture linked? And what is “culture” beyond our more common sociological and ethnologi-cal understandings of the word? Answer from Gaudium et Spes: Man comes to a true and full humanity only through culture, that is through the cultivation of the goods and values of nature. Wherever human life is in-volved, therefore, nature and culture are quite intimately con-nected one with the other.

The word "culture" in its general sense indicates everything whereby man develops and perfects his many bodily and spir-itual qualities; he strives by his knowledge and his labor, to bring the world itself under his control. He renders social life more human both in the family and the civic community, through improvement of customs and institutions.

Throughout the course of time he expresses, communicates and conserves in his works, great spiritual experiences and desires, that they might be of advantage to the progress of many, even of the whole human family.

Thence it follows that human culture has necessarily a historical and social aspect and the word "culture" also often assumes a sociological and ethnological sense. According to this sense we speak of a plurality of cultures. Different styles of life and multiple scales of values arise from the diverse manner of using things, of laboring, of expressing oneself, of practicing religion, of forming customs, of establishing laws and juridic institutions, of cultivating the sciences, the arts and beauty.

Thus the customs handed down to it form the patrimony proper to each human community. It is also in this way that there is formed the definite, historical milieu which enfolds the man of every nation and age and from which he draws the values which permit him to promote civilization.

Editor’s Note: Gaudium et Spes (the Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World) presents an overview of the Catholic Church's teachings regarding humanity's relationship to society, with special emphasis on economics, poverty, social justice, culture, science, technology and ecumenism.

Welcome New Parishioners!

Please complete and return form to the Pastoral Center (1555 39th Ave. San Francisco, CA 94122), or simply drop it in the collection basket. Kindly print all information.

CLASSES BEGIN THE WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 8, 2014.

Twenty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time September 7, 2014 Sunday Readings The first reading is taken from the Book of the Prophet Ezekiel 33:7-9. The vocation of a prophet, as envisioned in terms of Ezekiel's oracles, is to judge the evil and the wicked and to dissuade them from their ways. The prophet has the responsibility of announc-ing the judgment of God, not his own judgment, and non-fulfillment of preaching the message of God involves death for the prophet, where-as he will save his life if he is faithful to the message given to him to preach. -Excerpted from A Celebrants Guide to the New Sacramen-tary - A Cycle by Kevin W. Irwin The second reading is from the Letter of St. Paul to the Romans 13:8-10. In the first seven verses of this chapter St. Paul urged the Christian converts of Rome to obey all lawful civil authority. He now turns to the obligation each Christian has of loving his neigh-bor. -Excerpted from The Sunday Readings by Fr. Kevin O'Sullivan, O.F.M. The Gospel is from St. Matthew 18:15-20. Unfortunately, there are far too many Christians today who pay no heed to the serious obliga-tion of encouraging an erring brother to give up his sinful ways. They shrug it off by saying : "I have more than enough to do to keep myself from sin" or "am I my brother's keeper"? The answer is in this lesson we have just read. We are our brothers' keepers, and even if we have many temptations and inclinations to sin we shall not overcome them if we have no time to think of our neighbors' need. There are, alas, millions of lapsed or luke-warm Christians who could and would have been active members of Christ's mystical body if their neighbors had fulfilled this grave obligation which Christ has imposed on us all. They are now a source of scandal to the weaker and youthful members of the Church, and an impediment to the possi-ble acceptance of the faith by non-Christians. Would the Reformation, which has caused whole countries of the western world to lose almost all faith in Christ and indeed in God, have had such disastrous effects, if those who remained within the Church had put this law of fraternal char-ity into practice? However, it is no use crying over spilt milk! Let us see our present-day obligations and what we are doing to help our neigh-bors retain their Christian faith and practice. How much of the indiffer-ence to religion which the youth of today seems to be showing is due to lack of parental control and example? How many children of Christian families grow up as practical pagans because their Christian faith meant little or nothing to their parents? It is in the home that the religion of the next generation is firmly established or lost. When parents are loyal to their faith in their daily lives, their children will, as a rule, be loyal to it too; where parents are careless and lax their children will be still more careless and more lax. Parents! the first neighbors and fellow Christians whom you must kindly and charitably correct are your own children. Their future salvation and your own too will depend on how well you fulfill this obli-gation. Parents who are obedient to Christ in this will find time and many opportunities to have a charitable word of help for an erring neighbor outside their household. On the other hand, the lax parents, who give little or no thought to getting to heaven or to their children getting there in God's good time, will hardly bother with their neighbor's salvation. Thus this cancer of infidelity and irreligion grows and spreads. Let each one of us look into his past conduct in relation to this law of charity. Have we really tried to help our fellowmen on the road to heaven? Have we given them the good example of a truly Christian way of living? Have we offered advice and encouragement when it was needed, and correction in private where that was possible? If so "we have gained our brother." We have brought a prodigal son back to a loving Father and that loving Father will repay us a hundred-fold in this life and especially in the next. Excerpted from The Sunday Readings by Fr. Kevin O'Sullivan, O.F.M.
