August 4, 2013 The Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
BARNS FILLED WITH RICHES The mortgage is paid off. So are the loans that were taken out for college tuition and children’s weddings. The second home that was once a far-off dream is now so close that it seems safe to dig out the real estate magazines. And then . . . a daughter or son can no longer take care of a child. It’s time to start over, this time as grandparents in the parents’ role. Thousands of older adults face this situation today, be-coming temporary or permanent guardians of their grandchildren. Vanity of vanities. The years of toil with sights set on a great reward now belong to someone else: food, clothing, braces, summer camps, and school tuition. But, as one grandmother said of her 13-year-old granddaughter, Megan, “It has all been worth it. She brings such joy. What would I do without her?” And so the barns filled with “riches” are again taken down and new and true riches are discovered. Once again a new self is found in Christ, and the storehouse is filled with life that is truly pleasing to God. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
GRANEROS LLENOS DE BIENES Ya pagamos la hipoteca. Y también los préstamos que se tomaron para el pago de la universidad y las bodas de los hi-jos. La segunda casa, que una vez fue un sueño lejano está ahora tan cerca que sería recomendable empezar a revisar las revistas de bienes raíces. Y en ese momento. . . un hijo o una hija no puede atender a su propio hijo. Es entonces tiempo de volver a em-pezar, esta vez como abuelos en el rol de padres. Miles de adultos mayores se enfrentan hoy a esa situación, y se convierten en
tutores temporales o permanentes de sus nietos. Vanidad de vanidades. Los años de trabajo arduo con miras a una gran jubilación hoy pertenecen a alguien más: comida, ropa, ortodoncia, campamentos, escolaridades. Pero, como dijo una abuela de su nieta de 13 años, “Todo ha valido la pena. Ella me da una enorme alegría. ¿Qué haría yo sin ella?” Y así el granero lleno de “bienes” se vacía y descubrimos nuevas y verdaderas riquezas. Otra vez encontramos nueva vida en Cristo, y el almacén se llena de la vida que realmente agrada a Dios. © Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

In case of an emergency or death in the family, a priest can be reached 24 hours a day. Call the parish office number anytime for an emergency pager number.

NOT YOUR ORDINARY BIBLE STUDY!.........
Our Little Rock Scripture study will be adding a new feature to its study this August. On Thursday evening, August 22nd at 7pm in Renehan Hall, we will be reading Rediscovering Catholicism by Matthew Kelly. This book was our Christmas gift last year from Fr. Olin and it is truly one that should be opened and read if not shared with everyone you know! If you do not have the book, and would like to get a copy to join us in this study, the cost is $3 per book. After this 6 week course, we will begin our Scripture study on the Gospel of Matthew! The cost of this study is $15 for the materials. We also are offering the same study on Wednesday mornings, beginning August 21st at 9:30am. Since that group already read, Rediscovering Catholicism, we will begin with the book, Rhythm of Life by Matthew Kelly. You can purchase that book on your own or call me and I will purchase multiple copies together at $10 per book. Let me know ASAP if you want to join us. After this study, we will continue with our scripture study on the Gospel of Matthew as well. We are called to be a light to the world. Slow down and take the time to be that light. For more info, call: Shelly Smith at 661-252-4683.

REGISTRATION IN THE PARISH
If you are attending Mass at St. Clare and are not registered, PLEASE, fill out a registration form. Registration forms can be found in English and in Spanish on the bulletin boards at all the entrances of the church. Please know that if you wish to have a child baptized or enroll them in Religious Education classes or need a letter to be a godparent in another church, we cannot verify your presence in our parish without a registration on file.
People who registered some years ago, but moved and did not give us a change of address may have dropped out of our system. If you have been in this parish all your life but are no longer living at home with your parents, or if you were married here and think that means we have all your information in a computer that may not be the case.
Please know we are blessed by your presence.
If you are new to our parish, welcome!
REGISTRACION EN LA IGLESIA
Invitamos a todos los feligreses de Santa Clara, a formar parte de nuestra comunidad. COMO? Registrándose en la Iglesia. Las formas se encuentra en todos las entradas de la Iglesia. Quienes registrado hace algunos anos pero se movió y no nos dio un cambio de dirección pueden han caído fuera de nuestro sistema. Si han estado en esta parro-quia de toda la vida pero ya no viven en casa con tus padres, o si se casaron aquí y creo que eso quiere decir que todo información esta en una computadora quizás, que no tenemos esa información. Es muy fácil llenar la forma, seria de gran beneficio para usted, para cuando necesite alguna carta de reco-mendación o cualquier otro comprobante que necesite para emigración, etc. Se les pueda ayudar con mas facilidad. Y si es nuevo en nuestra parroquia le damos.
La bienvenida!
