San Bernardino Priests’ Retirement Fund

1 41875 C Street, Temecula, CA 92592 Office 676-4403 Fax 695-6659 St. Catherine of Alexandria Catholic Church Roman Catholic Tradition Pentecost Sunday June 12th 2011 San Bernardino Priests Retirement Fund Each year in December a collection is taken to assist the Retirement of many religious communities in the United States. This includes both men and women religious who have served us in the Church. Over the past 17 years you have been very generous and supportive of this Retirement Collection. At present there is a special need that we wish to bring to your attention. It is the need of our local diocesan retired priests. At present, the diocese of San Bernardino has 43 retired priests; 17 of them are over 80 years of age and of these 9 are more than 85.

2 Another 8 will join the ranks of the retired within 3 years. All of these priests have served in our parishes. Many are known to you and some still help by celebrating mass on the weekends. Present day needs such as, ongoing health care, aging needs, housing, and inflationary costs have stretched our Diocesan Priest Relief Fund to its limits. The purpose and outcome of this special Father s Day Appeal will be to directly assist diocesan priests in need and to continue building an endowment fund to provide for future needs of the retired. God bless you for your generosity in responding to this appeal. Parish Information Pastoral Council Don Hitzeman 676-4403 Finance Council Jeff Irwin 676-4403 Pastoral Care Admin.

PARISH MEMBERSHIP: Registration and regular use of envelopes are essential to the proper administration of a Parish and are necessary in order to become a properly identified member of a Parish Family. New Parishioner Orientation will be on Wednesday June 15th at 7:00 pm in Front of Social Hall ANOINTING OF THE SICK If you have a serious illness, are facing hospitalization and/or surgery, you should arrange to receive the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick.

7 You may remember Last Rites but the correct name is Anointing of the Sick, which is not limited to the dying and which should be celebrated before the sick person is unconscious, comatose or in the last stages of death. The Anointing is offered each weekday morning upon request, during the 7:25 AM Mass. If you or your family members are unable to attend Mass, Father will come to your home. Arrangements must be made by the prior Monday afternoon to allow time for proper preparation. Please call the Parish Office: 676-4403 THE SACRAMENT OF PENANCE The Sacrament of Penance , is celebrated during our monthly Reconciliation Prayer Service which is at 7:00 pm on the first Wednesday of each month. It is imperative to be present for the entire service for the participation in the service is your penance.

8 The next service will be held at 7:00 pm on the 6th of July This Sacrament is also offered by appointment. Please contact the Parish Office at 676-4403 SACRIFICIAL GIVING A normal Sacrificial Giving program is a 10% contribution to a charitable organization or church. St. Catherine s program asks for 4% of your income, 2% for our general parish support and 1% for maintenance and repairs, both through the use of our weekly Offertory envelopes. Another 1% goes to our ongoing faith formation programs through the Diocesan Development Fund Drive (envelopes and statements sent by the diocese ). For example, if you make $ a week, your total contribution at 4 % would be $ a week. Another way to give back to God a part of the blessings He has given to each of us is to mention St.

9 Catherine s in your will. Please give prayerful thought to supporting St. Catherine s in this way. MARRIAGE PREPRATION PROCESS Canon Law stipulates that weddings are to take place in the Parish where either the bride, the groom, or their parents reside. In order to begin the Marriage Preparation Process, you must pick up A Guideline and Policy Booklet for Weddings from our Parish Office and read it thoroughly. Please understand that the marriage preparation in the diocese of San Bernardino takes a minimum of 6 months and that a wedding date may not be set until specified criteria are met. Vacation Bible School Last week over 155 children, teens, and adults completed our 8th annual Vacation Bible Adventure at St.

10 Cath-erine's. Our adventure took us to Nazareth, Jesus' home as a kid. It certainly was a fantastic journey bringing us all closer to God. Many, many thanks to the families of our adventurers and the parish and staff of St. Catherine's. We are truly blessed to have your continued support. Without it, VBA would not be possible. A special thank you to our fabulous Teen Volunteers not only for the countless hours contributed to making this fun and engaging for the children, but for their enthusiasm and leadership. Each answered the call and accepted the responsi-bilty of their roles. From helping with snacks, running around in games, or just holding a little one's hand, it truly was amazing to feel the excitement and energy each teen displayed and to see God's wonder through their eyes.
