Sunday, October 4, 2015 (Feast Day of St. Francis of Assisi) • 1:00 PM

At the Lunch Benches

Next Sunday, October 4, in the church courtyard, a very special event will take place in honor of St Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of all ani-

mals: The St. Francis de Sales Blessing of the Animals! Fr. Louis will be blessing any and all God’s creatures. Please bring your pets to be blessed - and please be prepared to pick up after your pets, too. All animals are welcome along with their owners, too!

Kitchen Meeting

On Monday of last week, we had a meeting of the different groups in the par- ish to discuss the use and cleaning of the parish kitchen. After much work and expense, we were able to install a new and beautiful kitchen. The parish kitchen is for use by groups of the parish for their activities. It is used for putting on breakfasts or different social events, such as the Valentine’s Dinner Dance or the Appreciation Dinner. It is used by the school for its lunch programs for the students. It is a blessing that we have the kitchen for the myriad of activities that we have here in the parish. However, this blessing has its challenges. We need to maintain the kitchen by keeping it clean, in order and sanitary. The Riverside County Department of Public Health does come to make inspections of the kitchen. So far, we have an “A” rating, which is very necessary to keep on using it for the parish and schools. Without the “A” rating, the Department of Public Health will close the kitchen and we will be left without its use until it can be brought up to an “A” standard. So, it behooves all of us to pay attention in how we use and keep the kitchen clean and in or-der. The kitchen is to serve ALL in the parish. Everyone who uses it has the responsibility to take care of it. Peace,

RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) in English & Español If you are considering full initiation in the Catholic faith, or if you have already been baptized Catholic and would like to complete the sacraments of initiation as an adult, our RCIA program here at St. Francis de Sales can assist you in this process. The English course began on Thursday, September 17, 2015, at 7:00 PM in the school Library. The Spanish course will begin on October 26, 2015, at 5:30 PM, in Room 2. These courses culminate in initiation at the Easter Vigil for those who are not baptized or who are baptized in another faith. Those persons prepar-ing for First Eucharist and or Confirmation attend classes also, but will be scheduled for completion of their sacraments at a later date. Please contact Chris Gallardo (626) 221-9469, or Victor Grajeda (951) 924-8614 for more information or to register for the RCIA program.

OUR PRODIGAL GOD We keep having to relearn how prodigal God is. It is as if God cannot quite manage to say no. We think it is surely fine when God is prodigal with us - rich in mercy and forgiveness, generous in grace. But what about the other - the enemy, the sinner, the heretic, the outsider? Well, we expect God to be as stingy with that per-son as we are. Moses and Joshua wanted such a cozy world, too. They wondered how the spirit of God could be given to the two who did not show up at the meeting tent - today’s church. The apostles in the Gospel complained be-cause there were some miracle workers who were clearly not followers of Jesus. God’s great free‑wheeling generosity confounded them all. Let this be, says Jesus. Just see to it that you who lead continue to be worthy of your calling.

NUESTRO DIOS PRÓDIGO Nos toca volver a aprender una y otra vez cuán pródigo es nuestro Dios. Es como si Dios no pudiera decir “no”. Por supuesto, que estamos de acuerdo cuando Dios es pródigo conmigo - rico en misericordia y perdón, generoso con su gracia. Pero cuando se trata del otro - ¿el enemigo, el pecador, el hereje, el excluido? Pues entonces queremos que Dios sea tan tacaño con esa persona como yo soy. Moisés y Josué también querían un mundo así de conveniente. Se preguntaban cómo es que el espíritu de Dios se había posado sobre los dos que no se aparecieron a la reunión – la Iglesia de hoy. Y los apóstoles en el Evangelio se quejaron porque habían unos haciendo milagros que en definitiva no eran seguidores de Jesús. La extensa y libre generosidad de Dios los confundió a todos. Que así sea, dice Jesús. Por su parte, ustedes que guían a otros, continúen siendo dignos de su vocación.
