UPCOMING SECOND COLLECTIONS July 14-15 Mission Appeal September 23—Priests’ Retirement Fund

Our Lady's "Peace Plan from Heaven"

Why does Our Lady love the Rosary so much? Because She wants to bring everyone to her Son! That's the point of the Rosary. Deeply rooted in Scripture, the Rosary

involves meditation on the mysteries of Christ's life, Death, and Resurrection. The "Hail Mary's" are background music as we focus on the mysteries of the Rosaries.

"WHAT CAN I DO?"

1. Say the Rosary every day. Join one of the Rosary prayer groups. Group Rosaries are said: 1) Mon.-Thru. after 9:00 Mass, and 5:30pm - in church. 2) Fri. & Sat. after 9:00 Mass & Fri. 5pm - in the chapel. 3) Sunday 3:00 pm. in church. Pamphlets and Rosaries will be available at all the entrances. A box for requests of mate-rials will be at the side entrance. 2. Offer up your daily tasks as a sacrifice in reparation for your sins and sins of oth-ers. By reparation, Our Lady means: 1) offering sacrifice to atone for our sins, 2) fulfilling our daily duties to the best of our abilities, 3) accepting the responsibilities of our state in life, 4) obeying the Commandments of God.

MISSION APPEAL

JULY 14-15

At the invitation of the Archbishop, Most Rev. Salvatore J. Cordileone, and the Archdiocese of

San Francisco Mission Director, Genevieve Elizondo, the Basilian Fathers Missions are grateful to Father Costello and the parishion-ers of Our Lady of Loretto Church for host-ing Rev. Bernard "Jess" Owens, CSB on Saturday, July 14th and Sunday July 15th, 2018. Father Jess is appointed to the Parish of San Lorenzo in Tehuacán in Mexico and has over 40 years experience in Hispanic ministry. Please visit to hear his appeal for the support of the Basilian Fathers' work in Mexico and Colombia. Funds support over 1000 student tuitions at INSA in Cali, Colom-bia - a Basilian institution ranked among the top 40 schools in the country. Along with your help, the Basilian Fathers Missions also work to feed, cloth, teach, and evangelize in Mexico, improving the lives of thousands liv-ing in San Lorenzo and Mexico City.

Father Brian’s letter will return soon!!!

SAVE THE DATE!!

OUR LADY OF LORETTO FALL FESTIVAL SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 8TH

FUN FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY!!

DETAILS TO FOLLOW

New Our Lady of Loretto Statue Our new Our Lady of Loretto statue was installed on July 3rd. Father Brian decided that we should finally get a statue of our patroness, as a tribute, not only as a symbol of our love of the Blessed Mother, but to honor Monsignor James P. Keane whose generous bequeath to Our La-dy of Loretto made it financially possible to get the job done. Thank you, Monsignor Keane, for your many years as our shepherd. There has been some healthy debate on the statue of Our Lady that was taken down from the front awning of the Church. Where will she be going? Some people have actually vehemently exclaimed, “You better not throw her out!!!” Is she Our Lady of Grace? Our Lady of Grace generally has her hands down and is standing on a snake. Is she the Immaculate Conception? The Immaculate Conception generally has her hands held at the chest praying. Whatever the image, the devotion to Our Lady is one of the cardinal practices of being a Catholic. We are certainly NOT throwing the statue of Our Lady in the dumpster, but are taking some time to make some repairs and give her a good cleaning. More importantly we are taking some time to find a suitable location, where she will continue to be a beacon of love and inspi-ration to all who look upon her.

A PRAYER FOR OUR PRIESTS

O Jesus, our great High Priest, Hear our humble prayers on behalf of your priests, Father Brian and Father Erick. Give them a deep faith, a bright and firm hope and a burning love which will ever increase in the course of their priestly lives. In their loneliness, comfort them. In their sorrows, strengthen them. In their frustrations, point out to them that it is through suffering that the soul is puri-fied, and show them that they are need-ed by the Church, they are needed by souls, they are needed for the work of redemption. O loving Mother Mary, Mother of Priests, take to your heart your sons who are close to you because of their priestly ordination, and because of the power which they have received to car-ry on the work of Christ in a world which needs them so much. Be their comfort, be their joy and be their strength.

Amen.

El "Plan de Paz del Cielo" de Nuestra Señora En Fátima, Nuestra Señora prometió que al final su Cora-zón Inmaculado triunfará, Ru-sia se convertirá, y se con-cederá un tiempo de paz al

mundo. El triunfo final puede llegar pronto, sin mucha sangre derramada. O bien, vendrá después de la guerra y los desastres terribles, que pueden ver la mayor parte de la humani-dad borrada de la faz de la tierra. ¡Cada uno de nosotros siguiendo el Plan de Paz de María hará la diferencia! "¿QUE PUEDO HACER?" Comience por observar las peticiones de Nuestra Señora en Fátima: El "Plan de Paz del Cielo" de Nuestra Señora 1. Di el Rosario todos los días. 2. Ofrezca sus tareas diarias como un sacrifi-cio de reparación por sus propios pecados y los de los demás. 3. Haz 5 primeros sábados 4. Use un escapulario como señal de consagración personal. Nuestra parroquia Nuestra Señora de Loretto se ha comprometido a tener información, ex-plicaciones y materiales disponibles para ust-ed. Consulte la pantalla de Fátima en cada salida para obtener materiales y más infor-mación.

¡La carta del Padre Brian regresará pronto!

UNA ORACIÓN PARA NUESTROS SACERDOTES

Oh Jesús, nuestro gran Sumo Sacerdote, es-cucha nuestras humildes oraciones en nom-bre de tus sacerdotes, el Padre Brian y el Pa-dre Erick. Dales una fe profunda, una es-peranza brillante y firme y un amor ardiente que aumentará en el curso de sus vidas sac-erdotales. En su soledad, consolántalos. En sus dolores, fortalécelos. En sus frustraciones, indíqueles que es mediante el sufrimiento que el alma se purifica, y muéstreles que la Iglesia los necesita, que las almas las necesitan, que son necesarias para la obra de la redención. Oh amorosa Madre María, Madre de los Sac-erdotes, lleva a tu corazón a tus hijos que están cerca de ti por su ordenación sacerdo-tal, y por el poder que han recibido para llevar a cabo la obra de Cristo en un mundo que tanto los necesita. . Sean su consuelo, sean su alegría y sean su fortaleza. Amén.

LLAMADOS POR DIOS Las lecturas de hoy nos invitan a escuchar dos llamados. El primero es el llamado del Señor al profeta Amós, el "pastor y cultivador de higos" (Amós 7:14). El segundo es el llamado del Señor Jesús a los Doce, a quienes envió "de dos en dos" (Marcos 6:7). Estas personas fieles respondieron al llamado, profetizaron y predicaron a aquellos a quienes habían sido enviados. En el Bautismo, cada uno de nosotros recibió un llamado. La segunda lectura nos invita a reflexionar so-bre ese llamado ya que se nos recuerda que hemos sido elegidos en Cristo y que, por amor, Dios "nos eligió... para que fuéramos sus hijos" (Efesios 1:5). Por ser hijos adoptivos de Dios se nos llama a llevar la presencia de Cristo a nuestro matrimonio, familiares, escuelas y sitios de trabajo. Sintámonos inspirados a decir "sí" hoy al llamado que escuchamos una vez más en la palabra viva de Dios. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
