Dear Holy Apostles Parish Family:

This weekend we kick-off August and encounter a time when we’ll be starting school in ways we have never done before. No one seems to be particularly happy with how it is going whether we are parents, teachers, students or administrators. We want our kids and teachers to be safe and not get sick. We want kids to get a sense of routine and be back with their fellow students. We want them to learn and grow. Our sched-ules are messed up with work, school, e-learning. How can we work and supervise either e-learning or a part of the day that they are not at school. Unsupervised kids are a bigger challenge that can lead to greater problems. I would really encourage you to participate in our “One Storm, Many Boats,” next Sunday as we look at these challenges and share our fears, hopes, challeng-es and wisdom with each other. We will start live in church on Facebook live then go into small groups live all over our campus with Zoom rooms livestream. Then we will reconvene in church to hear each other’s wis-dom. It starts at 2 PM and goes until 3:30 PM. This weekend Kevin Riedl will appeal to us to raise money for the bricks he and his crew have installed around the pond behind the Adoration Chapel. Kevin has done a great job but needs a little over $3,000 to cover the cost of the project. This is an incredible Eagle Scout project that he has undertaken. We will have a place on GiveCentral to make a donation or text the word 'Brick' to 84321. Please support this endeavor. Have a Blessed Week! Father Paul

Pray after Communion when watching a livestream Mass.

Spiritual Communion Prayer

My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the Most Blessed Sacrament. I love you above all things and I desire to receive you in my soul.

Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart.

I embrace you as if you were already there and unite myself wholly to you. Never permit me to be separated from you. Amen.

Love Your Neighbors: Give to St. Vincent

result-ing financial hardships of this move left her unable to pay her full rent or to provide enough food to feed her family. Members of the St. Vincent de Paul Society delivered bags of

food, an Angelos gift certificate and provided direct pay-ment of part of her rent to her landlord. Vincentians were able to provide this family with a comprehensive list of other community resources who might further assist this family. SVdPS appreciates your donations of laundry detergent this month. "So always treat others as you would like them to treat you, that is the Law and the Prophets" Matthew 7:12

Food Distributions for Those in Need

· Food is distributed on a first-come, first-served basis until

all the food is distributed.

· This is a drive-up event to offer safe distancing. · Food is pre-packed in boxes and placed in your car. · Anyone in need of food is welcome.

If someone you know is struggling to get food on the table, please invite them to come and receive food.

On Sunday, August 9, at 2 PM, Holy Apostles will host a Day of Reflection when you are invit-ed to join together with like-minded peers to discuss and share your experience. This

A Few Notes of Thanks

The office of Family Faith Formation would like to extend a sincere thank you to all the people who helped during the ceremonies for First Communion on July 11 at 1 PM and 5 PM; July 12 at 10 AM and 11:30 AM; July 19 at 10 AM and 11:30 AM; July 25 at 11 AM, 1 PM, 3 PM and 5 PM and July 26 at 11:30 AM. Greeters, check-in persons, ushers, disinfecting crew, liturgy coordinators, lectors, choir, staff, deacons and priests. Your support is a bless-ing to us, and all those 80+ families who were able to cel-ebrate their child’s reception of First Communion. May the Lord reward you with many blessings.

In Christ, Arge, Debbie & Adriana Hello Holy Apostles Family,

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the pray-ers and support over the past three years! Talk about a whirlwind of emotion leading up to my Diaconate Ordina-tion. Reflecting back on the weeks and days leading up to Ordination, the Lord has prepared me in a real and amaz-ing way to fully and freely say yes to follow through with the promises I’ve made. In preparation for Ordination, I’ve had the opportunity to grow and mature here at Holy Apostles. I consider this place my home.

I’ve appreciated the opportunity to walk through my past and wrap up any “loose ends” before stepping into this new role in the Church. I make a point of apologizing to any Seminary brothers I may have offended, as well as thank brothers who have supported me in this journey. I’ve taken this opportunity to reflect upon my life. In doing so, I’ve reached out to teachers, family members, priests and others who have challenged me and helped make me into the man I am today.

The night before Ordination I was in the Cathedral pray-ing and readpray-ing through the Ordination worship guide. I asked Our Blessed Mother to give me strength to fulfill my promises to the Church. I have to admit, I felt a bit

stressed just like any bride or groom preparing for their wedding day. After I finished my bedtime prayers, Father Paul messaged me saying, “You are in God’s hands now… a great place to be.” That was exactly what I needed to hear, especially from a spiritual Father, brother, mentor, and friend. Over the past four years, Father Paul has taught me countless life lessons about leadership and parish life. However, the most important lesson Father Paul has taught me is “to show up and love the people.” I am truly blessed to have Father Paul and all of you, my Holy Apostles family, in my life.

Thank you again for your overwhelming support both virtually and in person. I cannot wait until next year when I will be able to celebrate my first Mass with you all!! Please continue to pray for me as I will always keep you and your families in my prayers!!

In Christ, Deacon Aaron

“Tu Señor, Sacias a todo viviente”

Hoy es un milagro de Jesús el que cierra estas consideraciones: el Reino es el gran banquete que Dios ofrece a los pobres, enfermos, necesitados e indefensos. Así había sido predicho por Isaías (primera lectura) a los judíos que volvían del destier-ro: aun sin dinero podrán comprar trigo en abundan-cia, comerán y beberán hasta saciarse.

Después de las reflexiones de los domingos ante-riores, no resulta difícil comprender que el Reino viene al encuentro de los más necesitados; o mejor dicho: de la humanidad necesitada. Dios sale al encuentro de los hombres que caminan por la vida como si ésta fuese un desierto estéril y hostil. Así lo hizo Dios en el Antiguo Testamento; así lo hizo Jesús en el Nuevo: el Reino responde a la realidad concre-ta de los hombres y los asume así concre-tal cual son, con todas sus carencias, dolencias y enfermedades. De este evangelio podemos entresacar dos ense-ñanzas: - Jesús sacia nuestra hambre de Dios En él encontramos el camino que nos lleva hacia Dios. Su palabra y su testimonio de vida y acción nos dicen cuál es la vida que vale la pena.

En la Eucaristía nos alimentamos de esta palabra, de esta vida de Jesús. Su pan partido nos da vida. Como expresa el salmo de hoy: "Los ojos de todos te están aguardando, tú les das la comida a su tiem-po". Jesús nos urge a saciar el hambre de la human-idad sufriente El camino por el cual nos conduce Jesús y que sacia nuestra hambre de Dios pasa por la entrega en favor de los que más sufren. Pasa por el compartirlo todo, sea poco o mucho lo que tenga-mos. Abrir los ojos, como Jesús. Darse cuenta de la realidad. Y dar una respuesta, no teórica sino prácti-ca, como Jesús. La mesa eucarística siempre nos abre a la caridad. Y la caridad hecha acción nos lleva a la mesa eucarística. La primera lectura añade una tercera enseñanza vinculada a las de este evangelio: demasiadas veces queremos com-prar la felicidad (consumismo, por ejemplo).

Demasiadas veces utilizamos el comercio, también, en las cosas de Dios (la terrible impresión que tiene mucha gente de que las misas tienen un precio). Demasiadas veces, también, somos mezquinos a la hora de dar limosna: hay que ir a fondo con las actitudes, de modo que la caridad sea sincera, au-téntica. No valen excusas para no compartir. Dios nunca deja de compartir nuestros problemas; no-sotros aprendamos a compartir unos con otros- los problemas de todos. Jesús empieza

“compadeciéndose “de la multitud y termina

“compartiendo”, sepamos compartir nuestros panes y nuestros peces, Jesús pone lo demás; y luego veremos que todo se multiplica. Compartir es multiplicar.

God Bless Deacon Aaron Downing...

...one step closer to the priesthood!

Deacon Aaron Downing shown above surrounded by his proud parents, brothers and their families. On July 18th, Aaron was ordained a transitional deacon, bringing him a step closer to the priesthood.

Shown right, Deacon Aaron performs his first Baptism of Camila Aurora Ortiz Garcia last Sunday. Camila is the child of Jesús Ortiz and Tania Garcia. Tania is a member of our parish staff.

Above, Deacon Aaron models a new alb that was gifted to him by the parish staff.

We’re

so

proud

of

you!

Above, Deacon Aaron and his very proud mentor, Fr Paul, and with Sr. Appolonia below.
