            Laura Perez,
  Coordinator of Religious Formation       Tithing has been my practice since 1963, and even at times when it
                                           seemed impossible to give sacrificially, somehow, I always was able
             Jacob Wall                    to do it. You recall that as an Episcopal Minister I was married [again
       Director of Youth Ministry          another story] but I recall sitting with my wife going over the budget
                                           at the beginning of our married life. She said to me, “it will be tight,
        Guillermo Garcia Jr.,              but we will just make it.” I looked at her budget and realized that she
      Director of Liturgical Music
                                           had not included the tithe; the result was our first marital fight. “We
            Lynn Poncini                   can’t afford to give that much money” she said, and I agreed, but
          Director of Liturgy              having done so for so many years I was committed. By then I knew
                                           the Malachi text and challenged her that if we were faithful in giving
        Richard Sepulveda,                 10% to the Church that there would be enough to go around. She
          Facilities Manager               was skeptical, but agreed. A handful of years later she stood up on a
                                           Sunday and told that story and witnessed “I didn’t believe it would

    Celso Doria, Martin Espinoza,
                                           work, but it did.” We both still tithe to this day!! Again, I am not trying
 Allan Rodriguez, Lois Wiedenhoeft,        to get you to give more money to St. Anthony, but the principle is
    Jose Martinez, Erica Campos,           worth noting: to the generous person God pours out blessings. This
     Jessica Campos, Jory Kusy,            is actually easy to prove, and this is one area where testing God is
 Monica Poncini, & Barbara Graham          appropriate. “You cannot out give God!” It is the nature of His being
                                           to pour out his generous grace and love upon his children, and when
       MISSION STATEMENT                   we act like God by being generous amazing things can happen.
  We covenant to give ourselves to
Christ as He gives Himself to us in the
Eucharist, so every person might be a
full, active, & conscious participant in
                                                                Thank you for your continued support

BISHOP’S REFLECTION MAY 2022
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

As we find ourselves “on the heels” of the recent consecration of Russia and Ukraine
to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, we are reminded that May is dedicated to Our
Lady as our Blessed Mother. On Mothers’ Day, the second Sunday of May, we
express our love and gratefulness for motherhood. It is a special day when we show
our thankfulness for the gift of life, and the love we have received from our mothers
throughout our lives.

Also, within the providential love of Our Lord, Jesus chose the month of May to send
his Mother to share with the shepherd children of Fátima in 1917, his message of
peace for the Church and the world. It is because of her bidding, that we have
consecrated Russia and Ukraine, and the whole world, to her Immaculate Heart.
Pope Francis’ desire for the Church to join him in this consecration, is not to be seen,
solely, as a pious gesture soon to be forgotten. We are called to continue to fulfill
Our Lady’s request to pray the Rosary for peace and for the conversion of sinners.

Our Heavenly Mother, Our Lady of the Rosary, stresses the importance of praying             "You formed my
the Rosary daily and to commit to the First Saturday Devotion to her Immaculate
Heart. Her instruction was not only to consecrate Russia to her Immaculate Heart,          most inner being;
but, also, to engage our hearts in this special devotion to her Maternal Heart. She        you knit me in my

Let us commit to Our Blessed Mother’s desire, God’s heavenly remedy, which she
proclaimed to the children of Fátima. Let us take up the Rosary during this month of        wonderfully you

familiar with the Rosary and become disciples of the Rosary.                                  your works!"
I challenge all, during the month of May, to become familiar with the message of            Psalm 139:13-14
Fátima and the six apparitions of Our Lady. Allow the message to serve as a means
to catechize the family. The teaching of the Trinity, the Eucharist, the Gospel,
Heaven/Purgatory/Hell, morals and virtues, and the power of prayer and penance is
all-encompassing in this “school of Mary.” If you, as an individual or as a family, are     "Tú formaste mi

 vecinos y compañeros de trabajo, el logro del éxito e incluso la ausencia
 de ruido. Si bien todos estos son esfuerzos valiosos, perseguirlos
 exclusivamente como un camino para experimentar la paz nos prepara
 para el fracaso. Cuando buscamos la paz fuera de nosotros mismos,
 nunca la encontraremos. La paz verdadera y duradera es algo que viene
 de adentro y no algo que podamos producir por nuestra cuenta o recibir
 de otros. La paz se descubre cuando experimentamos una plenitud y
 armonía internas. Nace de un sentido de conexión con un Dios que es
 mayor y más grande que nosotros, regalándonos su presencia. Es la
 única paz ofrecida por Cristo Resucitado que puede calmar nuestro
 corazón y calmar nuestros miedos. Independientemente del grado de
 tumulto que nos rodea, esta sensación de plenitud que Jesús nos da
 ancla nuestros barcos y evita que nos hundamos.
