Although you may be watching closely to make sure your kids are safe in the water, don’t forget about when they’re walking around, sitting out by the pool, using the restrooms or out of sight. Teach your children what to do when they feel uncomfortable at the pool, and let them know it is okay to walk away and find a parent or trusted adult at any time. For more information and a copy of the article called “Know the Rules… Summer Safety Tips to Teach Children” from the National Center for Missing and Exploited, email: [email protected]
DID YOU KNOW
Pool safety is about more than swimming
FAITH FORMATION WILL NOT MEET AUG.12
SEE YOU AUGUST 19TH!
The University Series 2016
Planning is coming up soon and we need excited parish-ioners to join the team. Many hands make for light work! Short monthly luncheon meetings with all eleven parishes start in early September and continue until the start of the series, the Thursday after Ash Wednesday of Lent. From September to December, we will go over the past list of speakers and adding on new ones, picking the parishes and then going to press for our 2016 Program. For 2016, St. Max is expecting a very active year and we need a lot of help in what St.Max does best: planning, promoting, hosting, baking, serving, and welcoming. And we do it with a lot of love and fun.
Please contact Kay Mallaley: [email protected] or 805-492-2289 to join
our planning committee and gracious wonderful on-going hospitality team for 2016.
Put on your thinking caps, September is almost here.
PASTORAL CENTER WILL BE CLOSED
AUGUST 14
Swimming is a fun way to have some fun and beat the heat during the summer. Parents should teach their children about swimming safety, including how to identify and handle uncomfortable situations.

Everyone recognizes the truth of good proverbs, and so they endure from generation to generation. The Russians have a surprisingly bold one that fits this Sunday’s Gospel: “Bread is the beginning of everything.”
THE BEGINNING OF EVERYTHING

WWW.STMAXCHURH.ORG
Maximilian Kolbe Martyr & Saint
was born in Poland in 1894. In
1918, he was ordained a priest
in the Franciscan Order. He always had a great devotion to
the Blessed Mother and founded
the “Militia of Mary Immaculate”
in her honor. Later in 1930, he
sailed for the Far East and
founded another circle of
devotees of Mary in Japan. His
health was undermined by tu-
berculosis and he was recalled to Poland in 1936.
The Gestapo arrested Father Kolbe in 1939, but released
him and he continued working with thousand of refugees,
especially Jews. In 1941, he was arrested again and sent to
Auschwitz. Often prisoners were condemned to death by
starvation, and one was a young father who cried out for his wife
and children. With his characteristic generosity and courage,
Father Maximilian voluntarily took the place of this man in the
starvation bunker. His heroic earthly life ended on the vigil of the
Assumption of our Lady, August 14th, 1941.
He was Canonized by Pope John Paul II in 1982. Saint
Maximilian Kolbe’s prayers were filled with love and faith, and his
life of service and self-sacrifice is a model for each of us.

Judging from the first reading, Elijah might have felt that it was too late for bread—too late for life itself. This great prophet was at the end of his rope and endurance. Then, not one, but two angels visit him. One offers food and drink. The other gives startling directions. For Elijah, this food from the angels is bread for his journey. On the strength of the heaven‑sent gift of food, he walks to the mountain of
In today’s Gospel, Jesus offers himself, not just as bread for the journey, but as bread for life itself. He gives his flesh as life for the world. “I am the bread of life” (John 6:48). He is the beginning of everything. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
