Thanks! and Help!

Fr. Oscar will be retiring soon, Fr. Paul will be mov-ing to a new parish and we will be getting a new Pastor and a new Parochial Vicar on July 1st. But who really keeps the par-ish going and growing, besides our Lord of course? Our dedi-cated parishioners, that’s who. Priests come and go, as do parish staff members, but our active and dedicated parish vol-unteers remain and are the lifeblood of St. Athanasius. I was reminded of this fact several times over the past few weeks. Some examples follow.

I picked up the recent edition of the Valley Catholic newspaper and read that three of our dedicated parishioners received the Pope Pius X award on May 7th for their long-time service as catechists: Pat Papa for 40 years of service; Mary Anne Williams for 30 years of service; and Carol Wil-son for 25 years of service. Unfortunately Mary Anne recently moved out of our parish and I wonder who will step up and take her place as a Catechist, Eucharistic Minister and Lector?

I attended the Parish Pioneer’s Luncheon on May 18th and wrote about it in last week’s bulletin. Virtually all of the parishioners who attended have given countless volunteer hours to our parish over the past six decades but now, due to age or poor health, some of these folks can no longer actively serve in our parish ministries. I wonder who will hear God’s call and step up to take their places? I have had several interactions with our St. Vincent De Paul ministry volunteers recently due to requests from desperate individuals who came to the Parish Office in need of help. My interactions with these dedicated and compassion-ate volunteers, especially Beatrice, Jeannette, Len and Berna-dette, have reminded me what true Christian discipleship is all about. All those who volunteer with St. Vincent DePaul lead very busy lives, have loads of responsibilities, yet they have answered God’s call to serve the poor and needy with their time and talent - but they can’t do it alone. Our St. Vincent De Paul ministry needs more volunteers immediately – would you consider stepping up to help?

Due to the increasing cost of rent forcing parishion-ers to move out of Mountain View; the transitory nature of jobs in the tech workforce; aging and illness; all of our parish ministries are in need of more volunteers at this time. This includes our Catechetical ministry for children and teens, our Liturgical ministries (Altar Server, Lector, Eucharistic Minis-ter, Greeter, Usher, and Choir), our parish committees (Liturgy, Finance, Facilities, and Stewardship). We also need parishioners to help us maintain the church environment on a weekly basis by taking care of the plants and flowers and washing the altar linens.

God calls us all to be active in the life and work of this parish. Please consider stepping up and helping in what-ever capacity you can. You will make a difference! Please contact me and I can help you discern how you can best serve the parish. Training for whatever parish ministry you choose is provided. Finally, a big THANK YOU to our current and past parish volunteers! Without your generosity the parish would not be a spiritual home to those who seek to know and love the Lord and then carry that love out into the world.

Easter Season Blessings,

¡Gracias! Y ¡Ayuda!

El Padre Oscar se va a retirar pronto, el Padre Paul será transferido a una nueva parroquia y tendremos a un nuevo Pastor y a un nuevo Vicario Parroquial el 1 de julio. ¿Pero, quien mantiene a la parroquia funcionando y creciendo, a parte de nuestro Señor? Nuestros parroquianos dedicados, ellos son los que lo hacen. Los sacerdotes van y vienen, así como los miembros del personal, pero nuestros voluntarios activos y dedicados permanecen en nuestra parroquia y son el alma de San Atanasio. He pensado en esto en varias ocasiones en las ultimas semanas. A continuación les citaré algunos ejemplos.

Leyendo la reciente edición del periódico Valley Catholic vi que tres de nuestros feligreses dedicados recibieron el premio Pope Pius X el 7 de mayo por su servicio de larga data como cate-quistas: Pat Papa por 40 años de servicio; Mary Anne Williams por 30 años de servicio; y Carol Wilson por 25 años de servicio. Des-afortunadamente, Mary Anne se mudó recientemente de nuestra parroquia y me pregunto ¿quién se hará cargo y tomará su lugar como catequista, ministro de Eucaristía y Lectora? Asistí al Almuerzo de los Parroquianos Pioneros el 18 de mayo y escribí sobre este evento en el boletín de la semana pasada. Prácticamente todos los feligreses que asistieron han dado innume-rables horas de trabajo voluntario a nuestra parroquia en las últi-mas seis décadas, pero ahora, debido a la edad o la mala salud, algunas de estas personas ya no pueden servir activamente en nuestros ministerios parroquiales. Me pregunto ¿quién escuchará el llamado de Dios y se unirá para tomar sus lugares? Recientemente he tenido varias interacciones con nues-tros voluntarios del ministerio de San Vicente de Paúl debido a las solicitudes de personas desesperadas que acuden a la Oficina Pa-rroquial en busca de ayuda. Mis interacciones con estos volunta-rios dedicados y compasivos, especialmente Beatrice, Jeannette, Len y Bernadette, me han recordado de qué se trata el verdadero discipulado cristiano. Todos los que trabajan como voluntarios en St. Vincent DePaul llevan vidas muy ocupadas, tienen muchas responsabilidades, pero han respondido al llamado de Dios para servir a los pobres y necesitados con su tiempo y talento, pero no pueden hacerlo solos. Nuestro Ministerio de San Vicente de Paul necesita mas voluntarios urgentemente – Por favor consi-dera la posibilidad de ayudar.

Debido al aumento en el costo del alquiler; forzando a nuestros feligreses a mudarse de Mountain View; la naturaleza transitoria de los empleos en la fuerza laboral tecnológica; enveje-cimiento y enfermedad; todos nuestros ministerios parroquiales necesitan más voluntarios en este momento. Esto incluye nuestro ministerio de Catequesis para niños y adolescentes, nuestros minis-terios litúrgicos (Monaguillos, Lectores, Ministros de Eucaristía, Recibidores, Servidores y Coro), nuestros comités parroquiales (Liturgia, Finanzas, Instalaciones y Administración). También necesitamos feligreses que nos ayuden a mantener el ambiente de la iglesia semanalmente cuidando las plantas, las flores y lavando la mantelería del altar.

Dios nos llama a todos a ser activos en la vida y el trabajo de esta parroquia. Por favor considere dar un paso al frente y ayu-dar en cualquier capacidad que pueda. ¡Usted hará la diferencia! Por favor comuníquese con Rosa María o Mike Cavera y ellos le ayudaran a discernir en que ministerio podría ayudar. Le proveere-mos capacitación para cualquier Ministerio que escoja. Por ulti-mo, quiero AGRADECER INFINITAMENTE a nuestros volunta-rios pasados y actuales! Sin su generosidad, esta parroquia no seria un hogar espiritual para aquellos que buscan conocer y amar a nuestro Señor para poder transmitir Su gran amor con el mundo. Bendiciones en esta época de Pascua,

Campamento de Biblia de Verano de la Iglesia de San Atanasio

¡Registraciones Abiertas!

Se llevará a cabo de lunes a viernes, del 5 al 9 de agosto del 2019. El tema de VBS este año es "Roar". Los niños explorarán la bondad de Dios y celebra-rán su Fe feroz, lo cual les dará el poder necesario para vivir en esta vida . Los

estudiantes entrantes de primero a sexto grado serán nuestros campistas, mientras que los estudiantes de séptimo grado hasta preparatoria se postularán para ser consejeros de campamento. El campamento de medio día de VBS comienza a las 9 a.m. con Misa diaria y termina a las 12 del mediodía. Ofrecemos un campamento de codificación opcional por la tarde de 12:00 a 4:00 p.m. para los primeros 15 estudiantes que se registren. El campamento de codificación es impartido por los estudiantes de la preparatoria Los Altos. Como el número de estudiantes que asisten a VBS crece cada año, necesitamos mucha ayuda por parte de los padres. Una de nuestras necesidades urgentes es ayudar a supervisar a los niños. Por favor regístrese para uno o dos turnos de 4 horas para que pueda experimentar VBS con su hijo. Si puede ayudar en otras áreas, favor de enviarme un correo electrónico. Registre a su hijo ahora o ayúdenos a patrocinar a otros cam-pistas si puede. Los formularios en papel están disponibles en la parte posterior de la iglesia. Complete el formulario, adjunte el cheque y colóquelo en la cesta de la colecta o en la rectoría. Por último, favor de mantener a nuestras familias de VBS en sus oraciones. Rece un Ave María u ofrezca una década del Rosario por nosotros. ¡Que Nuestra Señora nos cuide y proteja!

A Summer Bible Study!

Featuring the Little Rock Bible Study Format, Study Materials, and Videos

As a kind of second volume of Luke’s Gospel, Acts tells the story of the spread of the Gospel and the growth of the early church from its beginnings at Pentecost, following the ascension of Jesus. The Holy Spirit empowers the preaching of Peter, Paul, and the other disciples to take the faith from Jerusalem, to Judea, throughout Samaria and ultimately to the ends of the earth. It records the conversion of Paul and the momentous decision of the early church to welcome Gentiles as well as Jews into the church.

Join us for a fascinating journey into the life of the early church!

Wednesdays June 12 - August 14

Lunchtime from Noon – 1:15pm in the Rectory (bring your lunch if you wish!)

OR Evening from 7:30-8:45pm in the Rectory

Advanced Registration Required Contact Mike Cavera (650) 961-8600 ext. 108

or michael.cavera@dsj.org We request a donation of $20.00 to cover the cost of the materials.
