Welcome to Fr. Howard Campbell, our Regional Vicar, who is visiting St. Felix today for the 11:00 a.m. Mass.
Our V.B.S. Programs continue this week. Saints Peter and Paul is in the morning and St. Felix is in the evening. Thanks to the many volunteers who make these programs possible. It's really quite wonderful.
Bishop Robert Barron, auxiliary Bishop of Los Angeles, is the vision and author of the Catholicism Series that we are running on Tuesday evenings after the 7:00 p.m. Mass at St. Cecilia for four weeks this summer. This Tuesday is week 3.
Bishop Barron has also written a small, very readable book as a response to the sexual abuse scandal that has so shattered the faith of many. It is called A Letter to a Suffering Church. We have ordered a bunch of copies for anyone who might be interested or who have family members who would benefit from Bishop Barron's healing perspective. When the books arrive, they will be available in all our churches.
There are some great Saints on the calendar this week:
Monday, July 22 St. Mary Magdalene, the Apostle to the Apostles, who first heard the news of theResurrection.
Thursday, July 25 St. James the Apostle, brother of John and witness to all the major events of Jesus' ministry. His tomb is the focus of the walking pilgrimages in Spain.
Friday, July 26 is "Grandparents' Day", the feast of Sts. Joachim and Anne who, although not mentioned in the scriptures, tradition tells us that they were the parents of Mary and the grandparents of Jesus.
