FAITH IN ACTION In today’s Gospel the apostles entreat Jesus: “Increase our faith” (Luke 17:5). He responds with two stories about putting faith into action—the surest way to increase one’s faith. The story of “faith the size of a mustard seed” (Luke 17:6) shows that even a tiny bit of faith can work wonders when it is put into action. The story of the faithful servants who did “what [they] were obliged to do” (Luke 17:10) reminds us that putting the gift of faith into action is essential to the vocation of discipleship. In the reading from the second letter to Timothy we are encouraged to “stir into flame the gift of God . . . with the help of the Holy Spirit that dwells within us” (2 Timothy 1:6, 14). Those who put their faith into action will be like “the just one” in today’s reading from Habakkuk, who, “because of his faith, shall live” (Habakkuk 2:4). © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.

Prayer for Priestly Vocations Father, in every generation you

provide ministers of Christ and the Church. We come before you now,

asking that you call forth more men to serve our Archdiocese in

the ministerial priesthood. Give us priests who will lead and guide your holy people gathered by

Word and Sacrament. Bless us with priestly vocations so that we

can continue to be a truly Eucharistic Church, strengthened in our discipleship of Jesus Christ,

your Only Son. Raise up, we pray, men who are generous in

their service, willing to offer their lives and all their gifts for your greater glory and for the good of

your people. We make our prayer in the presence and power of the

Holy Spirit, through Christ, Our Lord. Amen.

Religious Education & Youth Ministry Departments

are looking for generous, loving and noble people to sponsor a

student for our yearly

YOUTH RETREAT October 15, 16 & 17, 2010

Sacred Heart Retreat Camp in Big Bear, California

If you are interested in sponsoring a student, money or water bottle

donations or just need more info., please feel free to contact Mariela

or Melissa at 323.660.0034 Is Safety Training Effective for Kids?

Did you know that national and international studies show that children who

participated in prevention education programs like VIRTUS, were six to seven

times more likely to demonstrate protective behavior – to be more

assertive, speak up, and disclose abuse or suspected abuse – than children who

had not participated in such programs? Research supports the effectiveness

of abuse prevention training of our children.

For more information about what our parish and school are doing to teach children to be safe, please contact the parish office or the

Archdiocesan Safeguard the Children Office: 213 637 7227. For

particular help, you may call Assistance Ministry at

El entrenamiento, ¿es efectivo para la seguridad de

los niños? Hay estudios nacionales e

internacionales que muestran que los niños que han

participado en programas educativos de prevención

como VIRTUS son seis o siete veces más propensos a usar

comportamientos defensivos, -ser más asertivos, contestar

en voz alta, revelar el abuso o el abuso sospechado-, que los niños que no han participado

en estos programas. Los estudios afirman la

efectividad del entrenamiento de los niños en la prevención del abuso. Para

saber más sobre lo que nuestra parroquia y escuela

están haciendo enseñando a los niños a guardarse del abuso, llame a la oficina parroquial o a la oficina

arquidiocesana de Salvaguardar a los Niños:

213 637 7227. Para obtener ayuda, llame a la Oficina del Ministerio de Ayuda al

213 637 7650 o a la oficina parroquial.
