    SAINT BONAVENTURE CHURCH TWELFTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME | JUNE 21, 2020 As Christian stewards, our mission is to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ to all people through word, sacrament, service and community life. Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father knowing ... fear not, you are more valuable than many sparrows. – Matthew 29:31 Page two 12th Sunday in Ordinary Time PPastor’sastor’s CCornerorner Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Today I want to offer a prayer for all the Dads on this Father’s Day: God our Father, in your wisdom and love you made all things. Bless these men, that they may be strengthened as Christian fathers. Let the example of their faith and love shine forth. Grant that we, their sons and daughters, may honor them always with a spirit of profound respect. Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen. Today is the Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time. The response to today’s Psalm is, “Lord, in your great love, answer me.” I find this very appropriate. I have been doing a lot of praying during the “lock down time” of the last three months. We were ready to celebrate the opening of our church in March, only to be told to stay home. We have all been through so much. I was so happy when the Bishop offered to bless our newly retrofitted and renovated church on June 14. Originally this was going to be just a livestream Mass. Then with the help of the Bishops of California, including Bishop Vann, as well as Bishop Jaime Soto, a native son of Orange County and Bishop of Sacramento, we were allowed by the Governor to open our churches on June 14.

  • Relics Tour Show
    Freedom Fortnight 2016 The Relics of St Thomas More and St John Fisher Supported by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, The Knights of Columbus and The Christian Heritage Centre at Stonyhurst St John Fisher’s Ring and a Reliquary containing a bone and tooth of St Thomas More The Reformation in England was sparked by Henry VIII’s desire to end his twenty-three year marriage to Catherine of Aragon (above) in order to marry Anne Boleyn. Thomas More was Henry VIII’s Chancellor. John Fisher was Bishop of Rochester. They both resisted Henry’s attempts to divorce his wife and to take away the rights of the Catholic Church. As the Pope consistently refused to allow Henry to end his marriage, the King made his Bishops swear an oath of allegiance to himself as Supreme Head of the Church in England. The only Bishop to refuse was John Fisher. More and Fisher were imprisoned in the Tower of London in 1534 for their opposition to the King’s will. Fisher’s treatment in prison was particularly harsh, and he was forced to rely on the generosity of friends for food and drink as none was supplied to him. Westminster Hall, in the Houses of Parliament. John Fisher and Thomas More were tried and convicted of treason in this hall. Their judges included Anne Boleyn’s father. Thomas More’s cell in the Tower of London can still be seen today. He spent fourteen months in prison, writing, praying and fasting. This embroidered cap of red linen, gold and silver thread and spangles was made for Thomas More in his last years of life, probably by one of his daughters.
