2 PASTORS CORNER New Kneeler Pads and Upholstery It s good when the low bidder is the local bidder. Fran s Upholstery, of Manteca was the low bidder for the new kneeler upholstery and pads. By the time that you read this letter, the first set of kneelers will be complete. Relief for your sore, aching knees is on the way! The upholstery is strong, stain resistant material. The padding is strong also. It should give us many years of service. However, it will last much longer if people do not put their feet or stand on the kneelers. Parents, please be vigilant with regard to your children and our refurbished kneelers. Thank you! The upholstery on the pew seats and backs will be cleaned when the kneelers are complete, hopefully in mid-september. Faithfully, Fr. Pat Walker P.S. The kneelers are being financed with funds from the Bishop s Ministry Appeal. If you are behind in your pledge, please try to catch up by December. Our next project with BMA funds (over our goal) will be the Adoration Chapel. Holy Day of Obligation August 15 is The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a Holy Day of Obligation.

3 SU PALABRA EN ESPAÑOL Nuevos Cojines para los Reclinatorios Es bueno cuando la presupuesta baja es del oferente local. "Fran s Upholstery," de Manteca fue el presupuesto mas bajo para la nueva tapicería para los reclinatorio y almohadillas. En el momento en que usted lea esta carta, el primer grupo de reclinatorios será completo. Alivio para sus dolor de rodillas está en camino! La tapicería es fuerte, y de material resistente a las manchas. El relleno es fuerte también. Nos debería dar muchos años de servicio. Igual, nos va a durar mucho más tiempo si la gente tiene cuidado de no poner los pies o que se paren en los reclinatorios. Padres, por favor estén atentos con respecto a sus hijos y nuestros reclinatorios restaurados. Gracias! La tapicería de los asientos y respaldos de las bancas se limpiaran cuando los reclinatorios sean completos, con suerte, a mediados de septiembre. Con Fe, Padre Pat Walker P.D.

We speak of putting in an appearance or showing up. Even when we arrive, we are often distracted. We think ahead, or we review an unsettled past. Nonetheless, we are at our best when we truly show up. We are most fully ourselves when we are absorbed in something worthy of us: creative work, good conversation, prayer. In these instances we are wholly ourselves and wholly outside ourselves. Elijah knew this kind of engagement. He was one of God s great prophets. In today s first reading, he follows God s command to journey to that most holy place, Mount Horeb. And there in great silence, Elijah encounters God. As for Peter and the apostles, they discover the presence of God after the storm at sea. They and the sea and the winds are stunned into silent reverence.
