We don’t have final numbers yet, but I cannot wait to extend my deepest gratitude to those who made it happen. Like the St. Mary teens! The Knights of Columbus! The St. Mary School Men’s Club! The PACG! The Spanish speaking Council and their ministries! And so many others who volunteered precious time and energy. Special thanks to those organizers who worked so hard on behalf of all of us: Fernando Lopez, Vanessa Salinas, Jackie Leonard, Victor Ponce and Edita Cruz. I encourage all of you to thank them personally!

Estimados Miembros de Santa María, Poco a poco estamos avanzando hacia nuestra visión para 2019. Su generosa respuesta al Fondo Sta. María 150 Jubileo para mejoras importantes. Un estacionamiento reconstruido. En la iglesia, nueva pintura y un piso nuevo y un santuario renovado. Su apoyo constante a la colecta mensual Fondo de Man-tenimiento de Instalaciones. Y una colecta dominical que a partir del 1 de julio ¡subió un 8% respecto al año anterior! En cuanto a lo pastoral, hemos visto los frutos de la contratación de un Coordinador del Ministerio Juvenil de tiempo completo. El programa de Confirmación está lleno y ahora forma parte de la Pastoral Juvenil. Las noches miércoles para los adolescentes han tenido mucho éxito. Carlos ha hecho un trabajo increíble de reclutar y capacitar a líderes juveniles que a su vez están formando a cientos de jóvenes de Santa María. (Estos fueron los adolescentes que se vieron en los puestos de los juegos en el Festival de Verano de Santa María el domingo pasado.) Sin embargo, este éxito ha hecho que un problema de mucho tiempo sea aún más agudo: no hay suficiente espacio para reuniones. Para enfrentar esta necesidad, los sacerdotes han acordado una recomendación del Consejo Pas-toral para convertir el espacio de garaje conjunto a la rectoría en un hogar para nuestros adolescentes. Los planes han sido elaborados y aprobados; el costo estimado es de $60,000. No podemos comenzar, sin embargo, hasta que tengamos los fondos a mano. Ustedes ya me han dicho colectivamente que quieren colocar a los jóvenes en el centro de Santa María. Bueno, ¡ese espacio de garaje está en el centro de todo! Si ustedes tienen o no a hijos adolescen-tes, esta es una oportunidad de hacer algo especial tanto para la generación actual como para las futuras de jóvenes católicos. Pido su ayuda para este proyecto especial. Si se puede contribuir en cualquier canti-dad, simplemente envíe un cheque hecho a Santa María designado "para la conversión de garaje." El Festival del domingo pasado fue increíble. Les agradezco y les bendigo, como a mí me han ben-decido. Padre Robert

Cada cuarto domingo del mes a la 1:00pm con el Coro de Jóvenes!

La siguiente Misa es el 24 de septiembre en la Iglesia.

¡Gracias a todos los que se presentaron para hacer del Festival de Verano de Santa María un éxito!

Todavía no tenemos números finales, pero no puedo esperar para extender mi más profunda gratitud a aquellos que lo hicieron realidad. ¡Como los adolescentes de Santa María! ¡Los Caballeros de Colón! ¡El Men’s Club de la Escuela Santa María! El PACG! !El Consejo Pastoral y sus ministerios! Y tantos otros que ofrecieron tiempo y energía preciosos. Un agradecimiento especial a los organizadores que trabajaron tan duro en nombre de todos nosotros: Fernando López, Vanessa Salinas, Jackie Leonard, Víctor Ponce y Edita Cruz. ¡Les animo a todos ustedes a que se les agradezca personalmente!

Care of Our New Church Now we are solidly in our refreshed worship space. All the furniture and equipment are back in

place. How do you feel? How do you like it? We’ve replaced our 30-year-old carpet, painted, and re-built the sanctuary. We’ve done the best we could to refresh our pews and wood paneling. Many thanks to Paul Hough Construction, Tomasello Floors and Rich Dellamaggiore for all their help, patience, and thoughtfulness in our project. Our eternal gratitude to the small army of volunteers, led by Leanne Heygood and Jorge Mendoza, for the hours they spent re-installing the pews, putting the rubber shoes on the kneeler feet, bringing all our Mass stuff back over from the gym, cleaning and polishing the pews and paneling. What a blessing you all are to our parish! Next, all of us need to step up and take responsibility for the upkeep of our new space. Seriously, no food or drink in the church—take it outside. Please don’t leave your bulletin or songbook in the pew; we have racks for them both at the doors. Please don’t use the floor for your trash bin—someone else will have to pick it up. We have trash and recycling bins at all the doors. Now that our kneelers have been refurbished, please don’t use them for anything but kneeling, after you gently put them down. When they are folded, they can’t survive people (even children) standing on them or kicking them. If your child needs to stand on something to see what’s going on, please lower the kneeler or have them stand on the pew.

Our financial support of our parish paid for this restoration—many thanks to all who regularly give, those who gave more to help pay for this, all who participate in our Building & Maintenance collection, all who built up our 150th Anniversary fund, and all who helped in any way. It is the responsibility of all of us to maintain the beauty of our renovation. Let’s become a Keep Our Church Beautiful Team. God bless your efforts in this! Rose Barry, Pastoral Associate
