r3-e4 Luke r7:5-ro l'm not the world's bravest Person. When I got to college, I was delighted that I no longer had to go on roller coasters or into haunted houses to avoid my friends'mocking for being afraid. My college buddies didn't base our friendship on whether lwent along with the crowd. lcould say, "No, I really dislike coasters and haunted houses. See you when you get donel" lt was liberating. Life is full of much scarier things than amusement-park rides and fake goblins. We hear the prophet Habakkuk speak of some of it in today's first reading. Evil, violence, strife, destruction-add to that cancer, natural disasters, Alzheimer's, domestic abuse, and unemployment, and sometimes it can take a lot of courage just to get up in the morning. Habakkuk i.:2-3;212-4/ z Timothy r:6-8,
fearfulthan most, I take hope in St. Paul's reminder to Timothy today: "God did not give us a spirit of cowardice, but rather of power and love and self-control." Feeling afraid is a normal human emotion, but it's not what God wants for us, and it isn't part of the spirit God gives usAs St. Paul reminds us, the Holy Spirit "dwells within us." The Spirit is the source of our daily strength; the Spirit can get us out of bed when all feels lost; the spirit helps us persist in the face of incredible challenges. Do we have faith in this Holy Spirit-faith at least the size of a miniscule mustard seed? lf so, it's enough. With such faith, we will experience the courage to face our fears and to trust that God is with us through them all' As a person who's more

Bishop Larry Silva will confer the Sacrament of Confirmation on :.o of our youth. We thank you for your support and encouragement of our Youth Ministry and their families.

All are invited to join us for a celebration after 9:3o a.m. Mass and an opportunity to speak with Bishop Silva, our Chief Shepherd, about your concerns and visions for our parish.
SURVEY RESULTS
A parish-wide survey was conducted during the weekend of August 24-25, 2oi-3 with 106 surveys turned in. lts purpose was to determine relevancy of our zoo6 Pastoral Plan goals and to solicit inputs on current operations and future priorities. The results are as follows: r Over ToVo suggested that we maintain our course with the three goals of safety and well-being of kupuna, being a welcoming parish, being good stewards of our finances, and satisfaction with current parish operations. r Parishioners suggested the following priorities: r-Youth & Young Adults, z -Community & Evangelization, 3-Worship, 4-Other, 5-Social Ministry, 6Faith Formation, 7-Parish Leadership Development. r The youth and young adults are the future of th.e parish and we should explore all opportunities to be living examples of our Faith, foster good Christian behavior and guide them through increased involvement, participation and providing leadership roles in parish ministries/activities. r Emphasis on air conditioning, air flow and physical improvement in caring for our elderly was identified in the "Other" category. These issues are being addressed in the Parish Master Plan and with the Stewardship & Discipleship Min istry. r Finance is an underlying concern that called for a more deliberate approach in addressing facility maintenance and physical improvements. The Pastoral Council extends a hearty "thank you" for your participation in this recent survey.

have several ideas. First, make your prayer life part of your mother's routine, and you'll find it easier to fit into your day. People with dementia find it soothing to listen to repetitive prayer, so consider praying the rosary aloud in her presence. Sometimes people with advanced dementia can still remember and recite the Our Father and Hail Mary, so you could end up praying the rosary together. That would truly be a gift. Next, try reading aloud Scripture stories from a youth Bible. They'll be easier for her to understand than passages from an adult Bible, and you'll get some time with God's Word. Last, but absolutely not least, it's important for you to be
