My husband builds excellent fires using a self-designed log arrangement, and his fire maintenance techniques are highly entertaining. He's a firefidgeter, always poking, adjusting, or replacing a log here or there to maximize flames and oxygen intake. And long after a fire appears dead, he tries to resurrect it to its former glory with bellows and Big Bad Wolf

imagine he might ask us to do some serious fire-fidgeting with our Christianity. We often fall into a laid-back Christianity, the requirements of which are simply being nice, talking about family values, and going to church on Sunday. But Jesus' teachings are extremely radical-turn the other cheek, love your enemies, give away your possessions, lay down your life. This isn't an easy-peasy set of beliefs. These are hard, demanding, lifealtering, fire-igniting truths to live by. Perhaps it's time to fidget with your Christian fire this week to see how fervently you live these truths. Ask Jesus to breathe the Holy Spirit on your fire to revive those dying embers so you can blaze again as a disciple of the

B{SI-{OP'S PASTORI\L VISIT
Break for summer
Five years ago with the implementation of the Road Map of the Diocese, Bishop Larry Silva sent a letter to all the parishes asking to set up a visit to each parish, to meet with the leadership and with the parishioners to discuss their concerns, to hear their vision for their communities and to celebrate faith and the Sacraments with the people. Our Parish visit has been scheduled for October rzth and .3'h. ln preparation for this, a survey will be conducted next

We continuethe work on the overhead paneling. The rental of the scaffolding is $z5o per month as well as the cost for the supplies. We used the equipment to install the lights over the sanctuary and the Stations of the Cross(S5,ooo) as well as the Cross on the front of the building. Mahalo for your generous donations to the Repair and Maintenance fund. Work will continue as the funds become available. Thank you for your sacrifice. We are also planning on hosting Family Promise families in October.
R=LIGIOUS EDUCATION
-CCD
CCD-(Confraternity of Christian Doctrine)-an association formed in r5oo's to give instructions to all Catholics. Religious Education's primary catechists are the parents of the children. Without their love and encouragement and example, the passing on of our Catholic faith would be impossible. Our volunteer catechists commit 8:oo to 9:20 a.m. each week to provide more structured learning for Pre-K to 6th grade using the curriculum from Circle Press. Our Sacrament preparation Teacher, Marcy Heafner is 'retiring'this year. We are thankful for the years she has invested into the lives of our children. G.K. Chesterton said, "The greatest things of our faith should be taught to the youngest members." One of the best ways to learn more about your faith is to teach it to someone else. Please see Velma Guieb-Mamuad (Religious Ed Coordinator) or Father Khanh if you would like to be a CCD Catechist. Classes begin Sept. zz.

Scrupulosity is a religious manifestation of obsessivecompulsive disorder in which people have obsessive thoughts about matters of faith and spirituality. Living with scrupulosity is lonely and emotionally draining. The shame the scrupulous feel over their perceived sinfulness often isolates them from friends and family who can't understand their fears. The treatment for scrupulosity is a combination of good pastoral care from one-and only one-priest as well as professional guidance, which often includes drug therapy. The medical profession agrees that scrupulosiry cannot be passed on like eye color or other DNA-based attributes and that children raised with a scrupulous parent do not necessarily become scrupulous . It may be possible to teach your children to have a tender conscience, but for them to become scrupulous, they must also have an active physical
