After Hours Emergency Only: 714-312-0967 Page Two April 9, 2017

Dear Friends:

The necessity of holiday printing schedules and approaching vacations means these Bulletin inclusions are being written in the final days of March, thus, anything new and exciting that may have happened in ‘real-time’ won’t be getting mentioned until almost mid-April. That being said, these next seven days are HUGE and I hope your schedule and choices will allow you to share these experiences with me and others of our community. As a kid my family was pretty much an ‘-only’ sort...meaning that we did not attend the formal rituals of Holy Thursday and but most certainly would attend Easter Sunday Mass. Only when I started in Seminary did I start to assist at the Triduum liturgies at my home parish of St. Boniface. It was exciting and intriguing to be experiencing something so ancient and yet so new...at least to me. Back in the mid-‘70’s the liturgies were just beginning to become more relevant and accessible but I still recall setting up the 12 ‘designated’ folding chairs (they needed to be nice enough to be up in the Sanctuary so they were kept hidden away in a closet throughout the year awaiting their turn in the Sanctuary) where the 12 ‘designated’ MEN would sit so as to have their feet washed by the Pastor. From the perspective of how we now welcome ANYONE and EVERYONE to come forward to the 9-or so washing stations staffed by Pastoral Council and Parish Staff members, the old rituals seem so minimal and uninviting. The veneration of the Cross on Good Friday was hurried along with multiple crosses being held/ offered for veneration throughout the Church by severe looking men, the wood always being immediately wiped if someone were to kiss the Cross, an emphasis on having a sanitized veneration obviously being important (Purrell had not yet been invented in those days, otherwise I am sure they would have spritzed the wood after each kiss.) I still chuckle at the imagery of the FLAMING COTTON BALLS one of my early pastors would use in lieu of a real Paschal Fire....the fire that is supposed to represent the LIGHT of CHRIST returning to the world through his Resurrection. No flames leaping into the night...nope, three or four FLAMING COTTON BALLS...were sup- posed to inspire the awe and majesty of the Risen Christ. Ahhhh, I thank the Lord for what is about to unfold this week here at Santa Clara. Hundreds of men, women and children will be invited to have their feet washed, the SINGLE large Cross will be grasped, kissed and clung to by hundreds of reverential folk and the fire of will crackle and send smoke high in the sky as the is lit from its searing flames. The full- ness and bigness of signs is important...the story we tell is HUGE....the signs should be equally big and accessible.

As I mentioned last week, your and best wishes are sought on behalf of our Catechumens: John Clifton, George Croushorn, Ariel Fermil, Melinda Ortiz and Lisa Woods and Candidates: Austin Brower, Kimber- ly Conrad, Jeff Conrad, Jeffery Conrad, Kennedy Conrad, Melissa Pujazon-Zazik and Greg Reiter prepar- ing to be welcomed/received into the Church on Holy Saturday...in your kindness please pray for them...and if you can, please write them a note of congratulations, blessings and welcome. Please drop off your notes of wel- come sometime this week before Saturday. (Please note, the Parish Office is closed on Good Friday.) Thanks.

While still a ways off, your help is also sought to help make our 2017 SUMMERFEST the tastiest most wonder- ful Food Fair we have ever had. Scheduled for the weekend of June 24-25 we are trying to avoid any Father’s Day conflicts and sneak in before everyone heads to the hills for assorted summer/July vacations. As you know from our past SummerFests...it is one big FOOD FAIR with our ministries and interested parishioners staking out a booth and making their culinary treats available for our parishioners to enjoy after all our Masses. This is for our OWN people, and has grown into an enjoyable, tasty and financially beneficial event for Santa Clara. If you would like to have a booth with your OWN CULINARY SPECIALITY...please contact Gisela or Ja- son Mobraten at 714-809-1630. Also, if you own/operate a restaurant and would like to garner some free ad- vertising for it by offering your food for purchase (to benefit Santa Clara)...again, please contact Gisela or Jason.

For those of you familiar with our Santa Clara Easter experiences, this may be redundant...but overkill in the cause of preparation is a worthy effort. NEXT weekend, especially on Sunday, will be HUGELY-WONDERFULLY crowded. Please plan accordingly and arrive sufficiently early (at least for the 8am...the other ones are based on when the park- ing lot clears out...) to claim your seats of choice. We will be joined by lots of extended family, friends and guests...so, even if your regular row or seats are already taken....please keep smiling and welcome the faces you do not recog- nize. Outdoor seating will be available, might be wise to toss a sweater or cap in the car in case you end up outdoors. Street parking will be available as well as in the grassy area behind the wood fence....please cross the street with cau- tion if parking out there. With the grace of God it’s going to be a wonderful weekend...but I hope to see many of you on Thursday and Friday as well. Until then, welcome to Holy Week and please remember, you are loved.

April 8-9, 2017 Palm/Passion Weekend Isaiah 50:4-7 Philippians 2:6-11 Matthew 26:14 - 27:66 Some days start off so well....until everything crashes and burns to ash. Welcome to a handful of days, Holy Week, initiated with this /Passion account of Jesus’ WONDERFUL entrance into Jerusalem followed in quick succession by the events of the , the abandonment/death of Good Friday and the forlorn waiting of Holy Saturday...this is the ultimate story of things starting off soooo well and horribly crashing and burning. This is the core story of our Catholic-Christian Faith, the core story of all Christian denominations; these are the days and these are their stories that allow Easter to occur. Within these stories, as reflected in this weekend’s lengthy PASSION, our OWN human hopes, fears, betrayals, tribulations, sufferings and deaths are meant to be overlaid. Many of us have experienced high hopes and expectations similar to the Palm Sunday exultation surrounding Jesus’ arrival into Jerusalem; in like manner, many of us have grasped more and more tightly as these hopes dissipate like mist in the heat of a rising sun. Is there anyone here who has not struggled to say good-bye to cherished friends or family? Betrayal and abandonment are not alien to us anymore than confusion and fear have not visited our lives. The door of death, despite our denials and medical innovations, punctuates the closure of each of our lives; while the living stumble to make sense of life without those who once filled our hours. This is THE and OUR PASSION as well. Occurring as it does within our warming Spring breaks, holidays and getaways, the power of this week risks being lost amid our pursuit of rest, business and pleasure. Thus has it always been, 2000+ years ago life in ancient Jerusalem went on undisturbed as human salvation was occurring in their midst. As people striving to be disciples of Jesus, will we pause from our many pursuits to again hear the story, to ponder it anew within our own fresh experiences? Will we snag some fronds from the blessed branches outside, have our feet washed this Thursday, grasp the wood of the Cross on Friday and remember the times of frustrated waiting on Saturday? Some days start off so well....this is a day and week of stories that helps make sense of when they crash and burn. Thank you for sharing our entrance into Holy Week by being part of our Santa Clara community this weekend. You are welcome to take blessed fronds from the OUTDOOR palm branches after Mass. As well you are invited and ENCOURAGED to come for the FULLNESS of Triduum: Holy Thursday and Good Friday especially.... both evenings starting at 7pm. Triduum concludes with the Saturday Vigil which also starts at 7pm....please note there are NO CONFESSIONS next Saturday and NO 5pm Mass...only the 7pm Vigil. Easter Sunday is the usual Mass schedule of 8am, 10am and 12noon....but do expect HUGE crowds and dress for the weather in case you end up sitting outdoors. Street parking has been arranged as well as on the fenced off field but please be cautious when crossing the street or motoring among the weeds. We will be joined by numerous visitors, relatives and friends next weekend...make sure you come to Mass with JOY in your heart and a SMILE on your face...even if your usual seats are taken and our Hall is bursting...nothing EVANGELIZES and makes people want to come back to visit us more frequently like FRIENDLY/HELPFUL parishioners. Lastly, please drop off your potted flower donations by this Wednesday on the tables near the kitchen....thanks for your help. As our holiest of weeks surrounds you with story and ritual, please know that you are loved. FKB

a letter from seminarian daniel . . . While I was running down the Santa Ana river bed a few weeks ago, I was listening to a podcast called “Catholic Stuff You Should Know” by a community of priests from the Denver Companions of Christ— Fr. Nathan Goebel, Fr. John Nepil, Fr. Michael O’laughlin, and Fr. Mike Rapp. I forget exactly which episode I was listening to, but during their usual antics of rambling about their day-to-day while sipping on some bourbon, I recall them dis- cussing the incredibly radical spiritualities of classic saints. Then, these priests shared a realistic portrait of modern Catholics—we generally want saints that we can relate to—saints who are ordinary people, who exercise their de- vout love for the Holy Trinity in the most mundane of daily tasks. We want saints like Jane’s, Joe’s, Bob’s, and other next-door neighbor type figures that we can easily identify with and claim to live similarly. But in the earlier years, parishioners sought role models who exemplified holiness in their painful pursuit for perfect love, striving for an excellence of virtues, persevering in a fortified life, a habit of astute meditation, and a heroism ordered in selfless surrender to God’s will. Wait, now I do remember the episode—it was called St. Mary Magdalene de Pazzi. The priests shared this dynamic shift in modern Catholic perspectives because they explained how such radical saints are unrealizable legends with mythologized spiritualities and no realism to their backgrounds. The cloistered nun, St. Mary, was classified by modern psychologists as a narcissist for her self-flagellation. Yet I find myself, like these priests, constantly bewil- dered and amused by such figures like St. Mary. In her time, living in a convent where life was simple and relatively pain-free, she would participate in this common practice to participate in the Passion of Jesus and better under- stand His suffering, offering her pain in reparation for the sins of the world. I do not encourage anyone to start such mortifications, but I am personally interested in understanding why this type of spiritual exercise was relevant to the Faithful of her time. I am also interested in understanding how we have become so dismissive of mortifica- tion. Yes, suffering without properly ordered intentions is not only meaningless—it’s silly. But suffering through acts of and mortification for the salvation of souls is not just holy, it is what Jesus prescribes to His disciples, to you and me. I realize that it is only through the power of the Holy Spirit that anyone can truly live out such gifts with fervor and intensity. It is funny how someone might say, “don’t be a prude,” while a prude is someone who ex- ercises ‘prud-ence’—a cardinal virtue—to safeguard one’s purity. And another, “there’ll be no pious words said over her,” as if exercising piety is a prideful exercise of shaming others. But even the virtue of piety—one of the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit—is embracing God and others with genuine love, not fake devotion. Such acts have been esteemed as powerful virtues by the Church until the last two centuries or so. But I look at officially recognized saints, even those in the process of canonization today like Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati, St. John Paul the Great or St. Mother Theresa of Calcutta, and these spiritual giants are role-models that have still embodied such holiness in our recent years while maintaining a relatable personality. I love that Blessed Pier Giorgio was a rugged mountain- eer and also a gentle giver to the poor. I admire St. John Paul II for his example of self-giving like volunteering to take a 16 hour shift in the coal mines to allow another worker spend the evening with his family. I love St. Mother Theresa’s perseverance in seeking Christ always, even while experiencing the darkest of nights in her soul. I realize that some saints have received tremendous attention by the Church and their surroundings while oth- ers like Charles de Foucauld were ignored or despised to the very last moment of their lives. Nonetheless, I am confident that there are role models all around me to share their way of simply loving our Lord. I await the Lord’s Resurrection reflecting on how I can love God in ‘my way’ this day. Blessings, Seminarian Daniel

unity in our diversity:

The People of Orange greatly appreciate our cultural diversity and applaud its richness, as well as the work of many to extend the hand of hospitality and love, one to the other. This is a great blessing for us that we can easily take for grant- ed. Yet our welcome is noted by our visitors and guests. We want to continue to reach out to each other in real acts of conversation within and among our deaneries, parishes and schools. In addition, in parish life, there is a strong desire on the part of the people to enjoy more Connection! with our Pastors, Parochial Vicars and Ministerial leaders. In terms of our rich diversity, there is a call for:

• Intentional welcome to one another in every state, stage and age of life and culture; • Thoughtful and generous sharing of and use of space; • Discovery of each other, the welcome of gifts and skills, and the encouragement of new leadership; • Sharing of speakers, resources and ideas, especially among the deaneries and with ecumenical and in terfaith communities.

for personal and communal reflection and action:

• Who will I make welcome? • What spaces are we willing to share? • Are there approved ministries in the parish who struggle to find room to work? • Are there members of the baptized among us who find themselves on the margins of parish life? Other cultures? The families of persons with special needs? Families of the detained? • Who sits beside me with undiscovered gifts? Do I introduce myself to new people at Mass who I do not know and may in fact be new to our parish or community? Do I welcome them? • How broadly can we reach out and create new Connections!

OUR LIFE OF PRAYER

Liturgy is at the heart of our Connection! our Encuentro! with one another.

We look with anticipation upon the completion of the Cathedral space as a graced and beautiful setting for worship and especially for the celebration of the great liturgies of our faith. We appreciate the many opportunities for learning, prayer and social gathering that take place on its sacred grounds now. We look forward to what the Lord is calling us to in the future, so that the Cathedral campus becomes ever more a home for all and strengthens the Connection! between the faithful of our Diocese, our parishes and our lives! We are grateful for the hospitality and beauty in worship, prayer experience and spiritual direction offered so generously by the religious orders and congregations of women and men in the Diocese. In parish life, liturgy and the variety of prayer experience is fulfilling to many. There is a strong desire that homilies are well prepared and do focus on the themes and readings of the church seasons and that they relate to the real life of the people. All of the above can help us to foster a Connection! and a relationship with the Lord who is present in our midst daily. Music very often inspires and leads to worship, especially when carefully prepared and appropriate to the celebration at hand. To guarantee full and active participation, those present at our convocations expressed a heartfelt desire for:

• Preparation of the full Assembly for their role in voiced and sung responses and songs at appropriate times during the Mass and in other liturgical celebrations; • Incorporation of the ministry of young people and persons with special needs whenever possible; • Participation and celebration of the Assembly in a variety of culturally diverse ways especially on the great feasts honored by our many cultures.

All of these reflections can help to carry the message of the Sunday readings into our lives, so that the life of faith is not just about an hour on Sunday but is integrated and woven into the fabric of our daily lives. Beauty in liturgy, art and music draws us to the mystery of God’s love and Connection! April 9, 2017 PAGE SEVEN

PASTORAL PLAN 2017 (CONTINUED)

for personal and communal reflection and action:

• Have I recently gone out of my way to discover what is offered in faith formation, presentations and liturgical experiences in my parish, deanery, diocese or religious communities? • Do I bring my own “voice” to the liturgy? Do I take the homily to heart? Does our family discuss our Sunday liturgy experience together? • Do we make it possible for the families of persons with special needs to attend Mass and other parish gatherings? • Do we welcome our youth and young people to take roles in the celebration of the liturgy and in various ministries of parish life? • Do I understand that the Liturgy of the Church and her various forms of prayer are a path to strength ening that personal Connection! with the Lord Himself so that I may grow in holiness and mission, so that all else flows from that? Do I reflect on the fact that the liturgy is also meant to help me to focus on eternal life and the Heavenly Liturgy?

PERSONAL & CORPORAL WORKS OF MERCY & LOVE

To fulfill the Mission of Jesus, the work of Gospel preaching and living the faith must find Connection! and expression through a full spectrum of works of mercy, justice and love. This work must be found in our parishes and at the Dioc- esan Pastoral Center of Christ Cathedral and directed to the needs of the neighbor. This will help to make the spiritual and corporal works of mercy a living reality in our daily lives.

In response to the call of Pope Francis that every diocese creates an institutional “memorial” to the Year of Mercy, and in response to the work of the convocations, it is proposed that we create a Diocesan Pastoral Care Center. This Center will house outreach services and a variety of ministries and support groups for families in all stages, as well as gathering spaces for planning and classrooms for training in social justice catechesis and pastoral care minister formation. [See last pages for vision]

In addition to this initiative, every parish is urged to strengthen ties and make Connection! with our ecumenical and interfaith neighbors in order to enlarge our capacity for service of the needy persons in our own neighborhoods. In his recent apostolic exhortation , Amoris Laetitia, Pope Francis reminds us that we are called to accompany married couples and families and to meet their pastoral needs. He indicates that parishes offer the main pastoral care outreach for families (n.202). Connection! is made walking side by side with families who seek to find the right paths through earthly pilgrimage. Mercy and love are shared with those right paths throughout our earthly pilgrimage. Mercy and love are shared with those who seek guidance from the Church to navigate through the various struggles that break down the family, such as infidelity, divorce, domestic violence and addictions. Our Holy Father, Pope Francis, also indicates that “all family life is a ‘shepherding’ in mercy (N. 322).

for personal and communal reflection and action: • How can we support the work of a Diocesan Pastoral Care Center to extend the hand of mercy to individuals and families in need of help in creative, generous and tangible ways? • How can we support the ministry and work of the Diocesan Pastoral Care Center in the prepa ration of couples for marriage by walking with couples who seek to marry in Christ, and by participating in marriage preparation programs that are faithful, faith filled and reach out, especially to young people? • How can we meet our ecumenical and interfaith neighbors with open hearts so that we can partner in service of the common good in our neighborhoods and on behalf of the needs of our earth and world? • How can we meet the pastoral care needs of married couples and families seeking guidance to navigate through the various struggles that break down the family? page eight April 9, 2017 PASTORAL PLAN 2017 (CONTINUED)

ADULT FAITH, YOUTH AND YOUNG ADULTS

In the hands of those who minister in the Rite of Christian Initiation, Catholic Education, Parish Faith, Diaconate For- mation and the Institute for Pastoral Ministry Formation, basic and advanced catechesis is very well served. Centers of prayer and spirituality thrive, especially as nurtured through the charisms of our religious orders and congre- gations of women and men.

That said, there remains among us a hunger for more Connection! with the rich intellectual and spiritual traditions of our faith.

For Adults and Young Adults, the convocations expressed a heartfelt desire for more: • Immersion in the broad spectrum of Catholic social teaching and opportunities to serve; • Knowledge of the global church, its histories and cultures; • Experiences of diverse prayer styles, music and art; • Support for a variety of small faith communities and bible studies; • Connection! with the faith experience of each of us and with our ecumenical brothers and sisters.

Members of the convocation affirmed the value of Catholic education. They also affirmed the efforts of the Catholic Schools Department to create paths of accessibility to Catholic education for all who choose it. The convocations expressed appreciation for the leadership and new formation opportunities provided for youth and youth ministers in our Diocese in recent years. We can think especially of efforts to reach our young adults with such events as Theology on Tap, City Lights and Mercy’s Wake.

They also called for: • A clear distinction between the activities of sacramental catechesis required in preparation for the Sac rament of Confirmation and activities related to Youth Ministry; • Salaries commensurate with the professional preparation and time requirements of the certificated or degreed youth minister—especially if required to fulfill both roles as above; • Within adherence to safe environment policies, full inclusion of fully initiated youth in ministries of the altar, hospitality, service and leadership; • Opportunities for youth to connect in large diocesan celebrations and prayer experiences as ecumenical faiths provide. • A clear distinction between youth and young adults and the types of ministries appropriate to their developmental stages and needs. • Opportunities to walk with our young people who are seeking to walk with the Lord and follow Him as consecrated women and men religious, and Diocesan and religious priests.

for personal and communal reflection and action:

• Does our parish support a variety of adult faith and young adult learning, services and prayer oppor tunities? Is the learning experience broad enough to address interest of persons and families in all stage and ages of life and culture? • How do we support initiatives proposed by young adult parishioners and support these activities? • How do we support new initiatives offered in our parishes and faith settings that show promise to rein vigorate our life together? • Is there a clear effort to welcome and incorporate baptized and confirmed youth in ministries of the altar, service and hospitality, leadership and other appropriate roles so they can experience Connection! with God and with us, their communtiy of faith?

EQUIPPING FOR EVANGELIZATION: To energize participation in parish life and engagement in the emission of evangelization, a four day initiative that focus- es on Equipping for Evangelization will be held. This framing event (Evangelization: Envision) will be followed by two days of practical team training (EVANGELIZATION SUMMIT: EMPOWER) and will conclude with a final day (EVAN- GELIZATION SUMMIT: EQUIP) a Showcase of program options and case studies of implementation of evangelization processes. This event is co-sponsored by the Office Faith Formation and the Office for the Ministry to Priests. The initia- tive focuses on the development of healthy and cohesive parish leadership teams as they address the work of evangeliza- tion and catechesis and will encourage parishes to implement evangelizing programs and small group structures.

A Summer tradition for our Married Couples returns… Santa Clara’s Married Couples Retreat July 14th-16th, 2017 Following on last year’s most pleasant experience, we return to the Westin Mission Hills Golf Resort & Spa in lovely Rancho Mirage (out near Palm Springs) for this year’s Married Couples Retreat which will again be fa- cilitated by Frank and Mary Chavez. An opportunity to nurture your marriage relationship, the weekend offers couples the priceless opportunity to rest in a multi-stared resort, a weekend away from the kids, thought-pro- voking ADULT presentations and plenty of time to be alone for private pursuits and renewals. The Westin Mission Hills has ample pathways for strolling, multiple pools by which to quench the Summer heat and even an onsite Starbucks for the caffeine deprived. Rooms are spacious at 450 sq. ft, each room featuring a desert or nearby mountain view. The RESERVATION FEE of $365 per couple for the entire weekend covers your room for both nights, parking, internet usage, health club access and all retreat supplies. Each couple is responsible for THEIR OWN MEALS…thus allowing each couple to determine for themselves the style, timing and cost for each of their meals. The Westin has varied on-site restaurants/eateries as well as indoor/outdoor beverage lounges and is less than a mile from a wide selection of off-site eateries. Please note that this is NOT a family retreat and is for ADULT MARRIED COUPLES ONLY (no children). Our reserved space at the Westin is limited so please do not delay in making your reservation ONLINE (SCDAYL.ORG). Full payment is required at time of reservation and NO REFUNDS are possible after July 4th. More information and specific themes will be forthcoming in the Bulletin or you may contact Mary Chavez at 714-970-7885 x231. With the copious rains of this year the gardens and grounds of the Westin will be lush, green and welcoming…the misters will be up and functioning without restriction…so make your plans and reserve your spot.
