Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:

During the week we said farewell to

Father Kenneth Okorundo, who we

were blessed to have as Associate

Pastor Pro Tem for the month of July.

We pray that he will remember the

beau!ful people of Saint Kateri as he

returns to the Diocese of San

Bernadino. We will miss him.

Thank you, Father Kenneth for sharing your gi#s with us!

This weekend we welcome

Father Miguel Angel Or"z of the Capuchin

Franciscan Order of the California Province.

He was born in San Jose, California in 1959,

has four lovely sisters and jokingly calls

himself "blessed among women.”

Fr. Or!z entered the Capuchin Order at the

age of 17 and was ordained to the

priesthood on the Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in

1986. He has served as vice-master of novices, associate

voca!on director, hospital chaplain, and associate pastor in

various places throughout California. As a deacon, he was

one of the first missionaries to northern Mexico in 1985.

He currently serves as Provincial Secretary, Capuchin

Mission Director and Chairman of the Senior Care

Commi+ee for the Province. He s!ll considers himself

blessed as he helps care for the sick and serves others with

a smile and good sense of humor.

Addi!onally, we welcome Father

Conegundo Garganta. “Fr. Kune” as

he likes to be called, is the Execu!ve

Secretary for the Episcopal Commission

on Youth in the Philippines. He is here

in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles for

the Mission Coop Appeal at Saint

Brendan and Saint Bellarmine.

As a good friend for many years, I requested that he extend

his missionary voca!on to our parish community un!l

mid-September. Please offer a warm Saint Kateri welcome

to Father Kune and Father Or!z.

Meanwhile, we con!nue to await the

arrival of our incoming Associate

Priest, Father Deusdedit Kirunda

Najja

God’s Peace,

Pastor, Fr. Albert Avenido

MISSION COOPERATIVE APPEAL

This weekend, we have the opportunity to make a dona!on

to the Mission Coopera!ve Plan.

This annual appeal is one that helps unite the Archdiocese

of Los Angeles with the Universal Church spreading mission

awareness among people of the archdiocese.

To that end, please extend a warm Saint Kateri welcome to

Fr. Miguel Angel Or!z of the Capuchin Franciscan Order of

the California Province who will provide details of his

missionary work.

Your tradi!onally generous response is a reflec!on of the

ongoing awareness and concern for the people of the

world. Thank you.

THANK YOU JANET RIVAS

A#er four years of dedicated service,

Janet Rivas has decided to leave her role as

Childcare Coordinator of the Ark to focus

on other areas of her life. Janet has served

our parish families with young children since the Ark first

opened.

We appreciate and thank Janet for sharing her gi#s and

send her off with our blessings as she embarks on new

adventures as a missionary disciple. Please extend your

thanks and apprecia!on when you see Janet.

Janet, thank you, farewell and God’s peace.

Prayer Glorious Saint Joseph, model of all those who are devoted

to labor, obtain for me the grace to work in a spirit of pen-

ance for the expia!on of my many sins;

To work conscien!ously, pu$ng the call of duty above my

inclina!ons;

To work with gra!tude and joy, considering it an honor to

employ and develop,

by means of labor, the gi#s received from God;

To work with order, peace, modera!on and pa!ence, with-

out ever recoiling before weariness and difficul!es;

To work, above all, with purity of inten!on,

and with detachment from self, having always death before

my eyes and the account which I must render of !me lost,

of talents wasted, of good omi+ed, of vain complacency in

success, so fatal to the work of God.

All for Jesus, all for Mary, all a#er your example, O Patri-

arch Joseph. Such shall be my watchword in life and in

death. Amen.

PROTECTING GOD’S CHILDREN When shouldn’t you be your child’s “friend”?

As parents, we want to be close to our

children — such closeness is not to be

confused with being our children’s friend,

though. Our children need us to be role models, authority

figures AND trusted confidants. This can be a difficult

balance, but we cannot let our desire to be close to our

children blind us to when they need a strong, reliable adult

to tell them what’s right and wrong. Parent/child

rela!onships are not built on equality like friendships.

Parents have life experience and wisdom that children do

not, which gives you more insight and authority in a given

situa!on. Parents also have the responsibility to make

unpopular decisions in their children’s best interests, and

this is important to help your children grow up.

For more informa!on, check out the VIRTUS® ar!cle “What

makes a friend? Part 3 — When Should a Parent Not be an

Older Child’s ‘Friend’?” at h+p://www.la-archdiocese.org/

org/protec!ng/Pages/VIRTUS-Current-Online-Ar!cles.aspx.

AS DISCIPLES OF JESUS WE ARE CALLED TO

PROTECT GOD’S CHILDREN

All the Catholic churches in our Archdiocese of Los Angeles

are commi+ed to working to protect children. Our parish

vision is to become inten!onal disciples of Jesus. Part of

our discipleship is to do all we can to protect children and

all who are vulnerable. Will you hear Jesus’ call to do this?

All ministry leaders and volunteers working with youth and

children must be VIRTUS cer!fied.

Please come to the Virtus-Protec"ng God’s Children

Workshop at Saint Kateri on Monday, August 5, 2019, at

6:30 pm in Sla%ery Hall. If all Saint Kateri adults 18 years

and older par!cipated in a Virtus Workshop, we could

make an incredible difference in the Santa Clarita Valley in

protec!ng God’s children and anyone who may be

vulnerable through our awareness and care.

Free Live Scan Fingerprin"ng under the agency of the Los

Angeles Archdiocese will be offered on Tuesday, August 13

at noon - 6:45 pm in Room 6. Please call Bonnie Bulder at

296-6945 for an appointment.

VIRTUS – KEEPING THE Promise Alive (Recer"fica"on)

Monday, September 9 at 7:00 – 8:30 pm, Sla%ery Hall.

The Transfiguration Luke 9:28-36 When pondering The Transfigura!on, I couldn’t help but

think of our teens and adult youth ministers who served on

Teens On A Mission and/or who went to last weekend’s Life

Teen Retreat. I am sure each disciple on those trips had

their own “Mountain top” experiences of Jesus. And, I am

just as sure that much like Peter, James and John, most of

them wished they could have stayed immersed in those

Holy moments. When we experience God’s loving presence

in big and powerful ways, we don’t want those experiences

to end. When Peter, James and John came down from the

mountain they needed !me to process what they had wit-

nessed. What did they learn about Jesus? What were they

supposed to do with what they learned? Our own disciples

probably have been doing a lot of processing of their

Mountain Top experiences of Jesus. They certainly have

stories to share. If you run into one of our teens or youth

ministers, don’t just ask them “Did you have a great retreat

or a great mission trip?” Instead say, “Tell me about a

moment when you just knew Jesus was in the middle of

what was happening.” Then be prepared to spend some

listening to a beau!ful story of God.

Something To Ponder: In prayer, ask the Holy Spirit to

bring to mind an experience you have had that felt packed

with God’s glory. Ask what Jesus might want to say to you

today through that memory? Is the memory just for you?

Could it also be helpful to someone else?

Dear Families & Friends of Youth Ministry,

It is with a heavy heart (and simultaneously an op!mis!c hope) that I must communicate the following news to you.

For an indefinite period of !me, I must go on leave and step back from the full-!me du!es of youth ministry at Saint

Kateri Parish. Unfortunately, my current government work permit has expired. Due to various reasons, many of which are

outside of anyone's control, I am s!ll awai!ng the arrival of the updated work permit. Un!l that !me comes, I must step

down from being an employee of the parish.

For the !me being, I will be serving on a volunteer basis direc!ng the forma!on and execu!on of our parish's

Confirma!on prepara!on process. The administra!ve and communica!ve aspects of youth ministry are fully being

delegated to Bonnie Bulder ( [email protected] ) and Elisabel Cas!llo-Lozano

( [email protected] ) of the Faith Forma!on office. All other branches of youth ministry outside

of Confirma!on will be led and directed completely by their respec!ve ministry coordinators.

I would like to assure each of you that this !me of leave, though indefinite, is not permanent. I fully intend to return as

the full-!me youth minister of the parish once all is resolved. I will s!ll be around the parish volunteering for a few hours

each week, and if you see me, please don't hesitate to say hi! I thank you all in advance for your prayers, support, and

love during this !me. God bless you always and may we all draw closer to Christ each day.

In His Most Sacred Heart,

Gian Gamboa
