        Mrs. Susie Dickert,              THE HOLY ROSARY: A Way to Foster the NEW EVANGELIZATION
           School Principal
                                         On Pentecost Sunday of this year, I announced that we, as a diocese,
           Mary Ferreira,                were embarking on the mission of the New Evangelization. I provided to
           Office Manager                all, the diocesan prayer to launch this endeavor. Please continue to offer this prayer as we
                                         begin to better evangelize our families and parishes. Pray it daily as we turn to the Holy
            Dave Corder,
       Faith Formation Director          Spirit for guidance to be the evangelizers of our day and age.

            Laura Perez,                 Along with this prayer, as we approach the season of fall, this month of September is a per-
 Coordinator of Religious Formation      fect time to prepare for the Month of the Rosary- October. I ask all clergy, along with their

                                         detention ministry. All of us are encouraged to remind those we serve of the importance to
       Guillermo Garcia Jr.,             pray the Rosary daily. We are to be reminded that this was a request that came directly
     Director of Liturgical Music        from Heaven and delivered to us by our Blessed Mother. She asks that we pray the Rosary,
                                         faithfully, as the Church.
       Angelique Gutierrez,
          Director of Liturgy            As we promote the New Evangelization by presenting opportunities for us to encounter
                                         Jesus in our lives, one excellent means of accomplishing this is the Rosary. It has the capac-
        Richard Sepulveda,               ity to draw individuals into a relationship with Jesus by means of reflecting on the Myster-
          Facilities Manager             ies of the Holy Rosary. As a person meditates on the Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious and Lumi-
                                         nous Mysteries, one is led to ponder the gospel scenes of the life of Jesus and the history of
                                         salvation. As we come to a greater knowledge of Christ, Our Lady will lead us into a more
      PARISH PASTORAL                    profound and personal relationship with her Son by means of these Mysteries. As we deep-
          COUNCIL                        en our relationship with Jesus, we become more like him. As we take on “the mind of
   Celso Doria, Martin Espinoza,         Christ,” it is then, that we are empowered to participate in the mission of the Church- evan-
                                         gelization!
Allan Rodriguez, Lois Wiedenhoeft,
   Jose Martinez , Erica Campos,   This month is the opportune time for us to introduce, remind and stress the importance of
    Jessica Campos, Jory Kusy,     the Rosary in the spiritual life of every Catholic. Prayed properly, it is a powerful prayer
Monica Poncini, and Barbara Graham that can have a great impact on our lives and on our troubled world. Because the Rosary is
                                         gospel-based, it has the capacity to “evangelize” us and to bring us many grace filled op-
                                         portunities for ongoing conversion.
   MISSION STATEMENT
 We covenant to give ourselves           Let us do our part in cooperating with Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary, Our Mother - the

INSPIRATION FOR THE WEEK
"No servant can serve two masters." We struggle with
where we put and give our allegiance. Who has the ultimate
authority and claim over us? While our minds want to an-
swer "God," our lives often reveal other conflicting alle-
giances. Because we are made in the image of God, we are
not given a ticket of entitlement or privilege. On the contra-
ry, we are given a level playing field where we are one
among many and called to live just and trustworthy lives. To
serve God is to serve others and to see the primary pur-
pose and focus of our lives as being good stewards. As
God lifts up the poor, so too do we. As much as we want
the world and God to serve our own self advancement, we
have to resist this temptation at all costs. Injustice has no
place in the kingdom of God.

                                                                                                    st-anthonys.org | 5
