Mass with the Anointing of the Sick

On Tuesday, October 23rd, 6:30 pm, we will celebrate a Mass with a communal Anointing of the Sick. In the Church’s Sacrament, Anointing of the Sick,

through the ministry of the priest, it is Jesus who touches the sick to heal them from sin - and sometimes even from physical ailment. His cures were signs of

the arrival of the Kingdom of God. The core message of his healing tells us of his plan to conquer sin and death by his dying and rising.

The Rite of Anointing tells us there is no need to wait until a person is at the

point of death to receive the Sacrament. A careful judgment about the serious nature of the illness is sufficient. When the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick is given, the hoped-for-effect is that, if it be God’s will, the person

be physically healed of illness. But even if there is no physical healing, the primary effect of the Sacrament is a spiritual healing by which the

sick person receives the Holy Spirit’s gift of peace and courage to deal with the difficulties that

accompany serious illness or the frailty of old age.

Please plan ahead and bring a relative, neighbor or friend who might join us for this

special celebration.

Villa Maria Del Mar Retreat, October 12-14, 2018

Title: The Neuroscience of Contemplation,

Gratitude and Compassion

Presenters: Dr. Joe and Judy Neary Emerging evidence from the new fields of contemplative and social neuroscience reveal that practices such as meditation, gratitude, compassion, as well as mindful movement practices such as yoga and tai chi, can enhance our health and lead to enduring happiness and well-being. The benefits of these mindful living practices include increases in immune function and longevity and decreases in levels of stress, chronic pain, anxiety, and depression. We will discuss recent neuroscience evidence and conduct exercises to give experience of these practices. Included: contemplative time, group sharing, individual conferences, yoga sessions and 4:00 pm Villa Mass on Saturday for those who wish.

A Big Thank You to all who made the Aloha Party for Alex such a special celebration! The environment was decorated beautifully, the refreshments plenty, and time together was special and memorable.

Thank You also to our wonderful Knights of Columbus once again for another fantastic, delicious breakfast! Such great tasting food, and great time to enjoy

community.
