Showing our Time and Talent thru our website. If your organization has had an event and you would like to

share pictures and some words on what the event was about, where the money raised went to, how the local community ben-efitted etc., we welcome you to contact the parish office. SFC is a vibrant and active parish that shines within the Cambrian

Park Community and beyond.

It would be nice to see that reflected on our website!

Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

July 24, 2016 You were buried with him in baptism, in which you were also

raised with him through faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead.

— Colossians 2:12

KEEP PRAYING St. Monica, whose feast we celebrate in August, is often known as “the persistent mother.” She watched her oldest son, Augustine, turn his back on his Christian faith.

Monica was exasperated. For years she gave up talking directly to her son on the advice of a local bishop, who told her that it was better to talk to God about Augustine then to Augus-tine about God.

The mother never gave up praying for her son. Eventually Augustine gave up his wild ways, was baptized, and later or-dained and named bishop of Hippo. St. Augustine went on to become one of the Church’s greatest scholars.

Today’s readings address the importance of persistent prayer. Abraham, in spite of trepidation that he is bothering the Lord, continues to ask about the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah. Jesus, in Luke’s Gospel, tells his disciples to “ask and you will receive; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you” (Luke 11:9). This is our charge: keep praying.

The Lunch Ladies of Saint Frances Cabrini A mid-year thank you to all the ladies that come in every few months to make sure we have lunches. Watching these ladies in action gives one a true sense of Time and Talent as they come together to create a solid lunch bag filled with a sandwich, chips, fruit cup, granola bar, cup-of-noodles and a drink. The lunches are then counted and put aside with the sandwiches going into the fridge to be kept fresh.

So far, this year has seen over 650 lunches that have been made and handed out to the local community.

This ministry of feeding those that come for a lunch on any given day would not be possible without you! A heart-felt thank you to Frankie Such, Liz Donaldson, Grace Wilkerson, Mary Rossetto, Eleanor Roth, Raquel Carran-za, Mary Blanco, Cecilia Herrera Evelyn Revels Linda LaRosa, Frieda Flocchini, June Sohn and Marilyn Aguilar.

Let Us Pray for the people that are in our parish community who are homebound, sick, recovering, or are confined to rest homes, that Jesus be their strength and comfort. This week we especially pray for Louisa

Guiterrez, Cathy Benson, Jill Ballard, Chayo Nuñez, Carolyn Bruner, Tania Cheater, Divina Galasinao, Britt and Amelia Moore, Stephen Reed, Bob Hitzfeld, Glenda & Jeff Kast, Joe Medoro, Sally Konopacky, Cecila Herrera, Jim O’Connell, Tricia Davis, Betty Antuzzi, Angela Cosentino. Please keep them and their families in your prayers. To place a name on this list, con-tact the Parish Office at 1-408-879-1122. You may also write the names in the Book of the Sick, next to Mary’s

July 18th to July 24th

Thank you for your kind generosity and support.

The Alpha Program is coming to St. Frances Cabrini!

Alpha is a wonderful and relaxed way of finding out what Chris anity is all about. This program

serves people from non-believers to cradle Catholics. If you are someone who finds themselves teetering on the brink of non-belief, or just ques oning what life is all about, come and a end the Alpha program. Many ques ons are answered during these sessions and it is done through a DVD series and small table discussions. Bring your spouses, friends, or neigh-bors who you believe need the touch of the Holy Spirit in their hearts. Our first mee ng will be on Sept. 12, 2016, at 6:30 pm, in the Parish Center with an Introductory Dinner Ses-sion. If you have any ques ons, call Alicia Morales at (408) 857-0523.

Requests for facilities or requests having to do with the church: All Facilities Requests must be in writing on a Facilities Request form and handed

into the parish office. If you would like one mailed to you, email Jean at parish_office@sfcabrini.org. A Request Form can be picked up in the parish office.

If you have an event that includes the use of the church or need to know what’s going on any giv-en day in the church , please contact Sue at 408-

879-1130.

Special Collection / Next Week There will be a special collection for our St. Vincent de Paul Society next week. Your donation will go to help those in the surrounding community of St. Frances Cabrini Parish. Your generosity is needed and appreciated!

Intercessory Prayer (Did you know?) St. Frances Cabrini has an Intercessory Prayer Group. They receive prayer requests and any name given gets some serious prayer from this dedicated group. Call the

parish office if you or a loved one needs prayer.

Eucharistic Adoration Perpetual Adoration in the Blessed Sacrament Chapel Sunday afternoon-Saturday afternoon. First Fridays in the main church 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM.

LOOK AROUND YOU To see the world in a grain of sand

and a heaven in a wildflower,

hold infinity in the palm of your hand

and eternity in an hour. — William Blake

Religious Education St. Vincent de Paul (SVdP)

On the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month from 1:30p to 2:30p, our SVdP ministry gives out bags of groceries to needy families in our community. If you know anyone who is struggling to purchase groceries, please tell them to come to the parish office on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of the month during these times. We are also in need of volunteers to hand out the food. Interested? Please con-tact Jean in the parish office at 408-879-1122

Any questions you can call me at 408-838-0650. Registration for Reli-gious Ed classes will begin again at the end of August and classes resume on Wednesday, October 5, 2016. There will be a parent meeting to register for any Sacra-ment for Spring 2017 in early November. Have a wonder-ful Summer and keep Christ in your plans.

My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going.

I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for cer-tain where it will end.

Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that

I think I am following Your will does not mean that I am

actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please You

does in fact please you.

And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing.

I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire.

And I know that, if I do this, You will lead me by the right road,

though I may know nothing about it.

Therefore I will trust You always though I may seem to be lost

and in the shadow of death.

I will not fear, for You are ever with me,

and You will never leave me to face my perils alone.

Thomas Merton’s Most Famous Prayer

What can we do when we see family or friends struggling with faith, torn with doubt, or oblivious to love and mercy of our

heavenly Father? What can I say or do to bring them back? St. Frances Cabrini will hold a course to answer these ques-

tions beginning in the Fall.
