We Dave Stuart, Debra Hanrahan, Grace Kassarjian, Jan Kovma, tend to forget this. When you look at others, do Jim Riedman, John Clifford, Justine Lynch, Kenia Gutierres, you see the face of Jesus in them? When others look at you, do they see the face of Jesus in Krissy Kobata, Lachner Family, Lazo Family, Leya Bogert, you? When we realize that all lives matter to Lynn Beyer, Maniega Family, Manuel Montero, Maria & Artu- God, then gratitude and generously become eas- ier. Why? Because that’s the way we are ro Lezama, Nicola Fisher, Rosa Santos, Sharon Daly, Sue made! We are one Body of Christ; when one of Massie, Andrea Lopez, Dr. Marco Munoz Cavallini, Charley us is hurting, all of us feel the pain. Fischer, Jessica Garzon How much should I give? Faithful Catholics are expected to give to the Lord with a grateful heart. The amount is meant to be a sacrifice -- not what is convenient or easy. For example, for those who are working, a minimum amount is one hour’s house- hold pay per week. You can request envelopes by contacting the Rectory or make regular or one-time contributions online. 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time September 26, 2021 Religious Education for Our Children St. Martin of Tours Parish is excited to begin the reli- gious education program for 2021-2022.

Paul STEWARDSHIP: e-Giving through Faith Direct In an effort to make supporting our parish convenient and easy, we are introducing e-Giving through Faith Direct. Faith Direct enables parishioners to support our parish by means of direct debit from your checking/savings account or through your credit/debit card. No more writing checks or searching for envelopes on the way out the door. Faith Direct even offers personalized offertory cards to replace your envelopes so that you will have something to place in the collection basket on Sunday! In coming weeks, many of you will receive an email or letter from us through Faith Direct encouraging you to consider and begin e-Giving. I invite you to join me in answering the call to faithful stewardship by making our parish a priority each month. See below for more details. If you can’t wait for the letter or email, you can begin now by visiting: faith.direct/CA1145. Safety: • For 15 years, Faith Direct has worked with hundreds of Catholic parishes throughout the United States and is recognized as the leading eGiving program. • Faith Direct provides the critical third-party security needed for this new way of parish support: this limits the liability for our parish and keeps your information in secure hands. How does it work? You can visit faith.direct/CA1145 and enroll securely online: • You can elect to have your specified bank or credit card account debited on either the 4th or 15th of the month for both offerto- ry and any second collections you support. • When you establish your account, you will have complete control over your giving and receive monthly reminders of scheduled giving (apps are also available for Android and Apple). • There is no charge to parishioners for enrolling and the parish saves money through the efficiencies of e-Giving. 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time September 26, 2021 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time September 26, 2021 VIRTUS TRAINING AND FINGERPRINTING The Archdiocese of Los Angeles has mandated that all parish volunteers be trained on child/youth sexual abuse prevention under the guidelines of Virtus: "Protecting All God's Children".
