I was with friends at an outdoor/patio eatery when the rains began two Fridays ago and it required some quick and adept huddling for us all to position ourselves dryly beneath an umbrella canopy. With our Southern Cal seasons frequently described as ‘nonexistent’, the Autumn rains and lightening were sure signs that the season of harvest, bounty and change was fully here. Autumn is not just the break between Summer and Winter, it is the traditional time when crops are REAPED into storage so as to sustain people with food for the coming year. On a Churchy-liturgical level it is also the traditional time when parishes INVITE their parishioners to review their measure/standard of helping to support their home parishes...in our case, Santa Clara, with the bounty of your financial donations. So YES....as you are correctly guessing....this Bulletin Letter is about INVITING YOU to review your own measure by which you support Santa Clara de Asis. A Scriptural reference for financial giving is frequently called a TITHE, which means 10%. Let me be honest...NOBODY (or only a rare few) ever gives 10% of their income to the Church....what a different world it would be if we could reliably count on that measure of support! From my observation, many people give based on what they have in their pockets or purse, a quick reach....and then a sorting through of what is easily available. Some give based on what their parents used to give... forgetting that the world has changed since they have grown up. Thinking back to my own mom, I have a recollection of her usually offering a $5 bill...with Christmas and Easter being upped to a whopping $10....and that was back in the 1950’s -1960’s! That would be one In & Out Double/double with a small coke in today’s figures. About five years ago here at Santa Clara we began promoting a concept called THE FIRST HOUR...a way of saying ‘GRACE’ as you start your work-week and a way of maturely supporting the parish. The concept is based on the imaginary and old-fashioned 40-hour work week and the dedicating of THE FIRST HOUR of work as your PRAYER, your GRACE, your BENEDICTION on the rest of the work week; your way of saying THANK YOU to God for the ability to support yourself and your family with whatever type of work you do. The financial compensation from this FIRST HOUR then becomes your monetary donation to Santa Clara. Even if you are salaried, simple mathematics will get you to your ‘hourly’ wage...just take the weekly compensation and divide by 40 and bingo....there you have it. 39 hours of compensation for your OWN use and 1 hour of compensation to support Santa Clara. Our Ordinary Income (the weekly Offertory Collection) levels have barely budged from when I arrived in 2012 and on a yearly basis we have had to use some of the PSA rebate monies to cover our operating and salary expenses. This is nothing new, this occurred yearly during Fr. Mike’s tenure as well. The problem is that we have SO MUCH MORE happening and so many MORE things requiring our support (increasing maintenance of deteriorating facilities, Youth Ministry, Adult Minis- try, Children/Family Ministries...just to name a few) that our Ordinary Income quickly is expended. In order for us to continually offer you, your family and friends, a RICH HARVEST of spiritual strength and resources, we in turn need a rich harvest of sacrificial offerings from YOU to support all that we are becoming. Thus, I ask and urge you to consider and review what your financial level of support for Santa Clara is and to make sure it is reflective of 2018 and not 1950! A reminder that on Halloween afternoon, Wednesday, October 31st, at 5pm we will offer an All Saint’s Vigil Mass with the usual 8:30am Mass and 10am SFA School Mass on Thursday, November 1st as well. Special envelopes by which to enroll your beloved dead family and friends in November’s All Souls Masses are available at the exits for your consider- ation. Our High School Youth are preparing to go on Retreat in early November, please keep them in your prayers that their hearts will be open to the prompting of the Holy Spirit. As well, please keep Kirsten and her Leadership Team in your hearts, that they will be abundant vessels of grace by which your sons and daughters will be blessed. (Please whisper a prayer for Cheeyoon who will also be attending...that he will survive the ‘blessing’ of being surrounded with youth for an entire week- end!) THANK YOU for your generous outpouring of support last weekend for St. Dominic’s Parish in Panama City, Florida. We transmitted your financial gift of $4,466.00 directly to St. Dominic’s on Monday so that the money could immediately be put to use for their and their community’s benefit. Given the number of recent disasters, both here and abroad, I was hesitant to again invite your generosity (I understand that some of you can be stretched financially.) What changed my mind was a call from a long-time parishioner who asked if I had selected a parish to be the recipient of our generosity? When I explained my reasoning for not doing it, there was a long pause and then a sound of disappointment when she shared that she, and others, valued the opportunity to connect DIRECTLY with another parish, knowing that they were helping someone they could pinpoint on a map and also people for whom they could directly pray. Thinking about that, I realized I was being overly cautious, hence, after a bit of research, St. Dominic Parish became OUR outreach. (Now you know that I really do listen and can change my mind!) Thanks for your attention, have a blessed and peaceful week and please remember, you are loved. FKB October 21, 2018 page three October 20-21, 2018 Twenty-ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time Isaiah 53:10-11 Hebrews 4:14-16 Mark 10: 35-45 Suffering makes no sense. Emotional, physical, spiritual, mental, suffering gnaws at our lives, depletes our energies, strains our capacity for human interaction and transforms our desires for pleasant days into rubble. Our culture goes to great length to medicate, yoga, Zen, philosophize, ourselves in the effort to diminish the pain and to give ourselves some semblance of peace. Yet...try as we might, suffering frequently clings to the corners of our consciousness, scattering our thoughts, draining our energies and opening the door for us to question our value, our worth, our purpose, our very lives. This weekend’s Scripture selections touch upon SUFFERING, particularly the suffering of Jesus and casts it in the redemptive light by which the Church has always viewed it...as a backhanded grace that opens us to closeness with the divine. In our Gospel selection from Mark, the disciples once again are viewing Jesus through a WORDLY lends of political power, asking to sit at Jesus’ left and right hands when he comes into his glory. Jesus cautions them that they do not know what they are talking about but they persist and Jesus relents...but not without giving a lesson on service and leadership. As each early apostle/disciple died, frequently accompanied with great suffering, the truthfulness of their message, of their RELATIONSHIP in the CRUCIFIED and RISEN JESUS, was validated. People do not suffer for something dismissible or known to be untrue. In our daily existence, the challenge is to transform our private and personal sufferings into invitations for conversations with Jesus, to, in the old teachings of the Church, turn them into a gift back to Jesus..

  • To Better Protect God’S People
    To better protect God’s people When future historians write their histories of U.S. Catholicism, some may give Gilbert Gauthe a paragraph all to himself. Not for anything honorable that he did, but for something supremely dishonorable: He, as much as anyone, transformed sexual abuse of a minor by a Catholic priest from a personal disgrace into a national scandal. The story of this scandal is disturbing and complex. Even as the number of new cases has apparently dropped, bishops have found themselves struggling to cope with the consequences of earlier offenses that were covered up. Now even Pope Francis stands accused of not responding quickly enough, and Germany and Chile have joined the ranks of countries where the Church has abuse scandals on its hands. What follows is an overview of the history of this scandal in the United States, for the benefit of people trying to make sense of it all. It’s a perspective the bishops themselves will need as they gather in Baltimore the second full week of November for their fall general meeting. This issue is expected to dominate the agenda. Pope St. John Paul II speaks with Cardinal Bernard Law in 2002 in the pope’s private library at the Vatican. Cardinal Law had been one of the United States’ most powerful and respected bishops until his legacy was blemished by the devastating sexual abuse of minors by priests in his Archdiocese of Boston. CNS photo via L’Osservatore Romano A 1980s ‘aberration’ Start with Gilbert Gauthe. Although by no means the first abuser priest, he was the first to receive national attention as the specifics of his misdeeds and the bungling of his superiors became known.

  • Report on Key Findings in Correspondence Concerning Theodore E
    Report on Key Findings in Correspondence Concerning Theodore E. McCarrick “Follow the Path of Truth Wherever it May Lead” May 28, 2019 he former Cardinal Theodore E. McCarrick ordained me to the priesthood 25 years ago today. TI served as his personal secretary in the Archdiocese of Newark (September 1994 – June 1995) and also assisted him in a secretarial capacity during his many visits to Rome in my 19 years of ministry there. After long consideration, I have made the decision to place in the public domain some of the correspondence and other information related to McCarrick that I possess in my many years of service to him. I have spent time in prayer and discernment about the moral basis for revealing these. My decision follows attempts since September 2018 to share and discuss these with the Holy See and other Church leaders. Realizing full well that the debate about McCarrick has become highly politicized, I wish only to present facts that will help the Church to know the truth. From the outset of this report, I pledge my unswerving affection, loyalty and support for Pope Francis and his Magisterium in his tireless ministry as the Successor of Peter, as I manifested also to Pope Benedict XVI, grateful for their paternal solicitude and efforts to address the scourge of abuse. Indeed, my actions in releasing this report at this time are encouraged by the Holy Father’s motu proprio “Vos Estis Lux Mundi” (“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.” Mt 5:14), based on the overriding principle that it is imperative to place in the public domain, at the right time and prudently, information that has yet to come to light and impacts directly on allegations of criminal activity, the restrictions imposed on my now laicized former Archbishop, and who knew what and when.

  • Charting the Roles of Women in the Catholic Church
    FutureChurch Charting the roles of women in the Catholic Church Current breakdown of male/female leadership in Vatican dicasteries Pope Francis has called for “a more incisive presence for women” in the Catholic Church. At the most recent Consistory of cardinals on February 12 and 13, 2015, Fr. Federico Lombardi reported that the cardinals expressed the hope of “an increasingly active role” for women. Although Pope Francis stated the door is closed on the question of ordination for women to the priesthood, he has been emphatic in his call for a stronger presence of women elsewhere. He recently appointed Sr. Mary Melone, the first women to date, to head a Pontifical University; Sr. Luzia Premoli, the first women to be appointed as a member of the Congregation on Evangelizat ion of Peoples, and has stated that women should take up positions of greater leadership within the Vatican. So how many women are in positions of leadership within the Curia? How many assert real influence? While it is difficult to accurately measure the level of influence women exercise, the chart below has been generated to further that discussion by showing the current roles women play now in Vatican congregations, pontifical councils, and other commissions, committees and offices. Secretariats, Congregations, and Pontifical Councils There are two secretariats, nine congregations and twelve pontifical councils. Below is a chart indicating the number of Vatican officials broken out in terms of male/female roles from undersecretary and above.
