Thank You St. Francis de Sales for
Supporting the Consolata Missionaries
Last Sunday, September 16, we celebrated our annual Consolata
Mission Day. It gave us a chance to hear the mission story and the mission call for every
baptized person in the Church. Also, it was a chance to support the work of the Consolata
Missionaries.
The founder of the Consolata Missionaries, Blessed Joseph Allemano, was imbued with
these “Loves:”
 A Love of the Eucharist
 A Love of Mary
 A Love for the Missions
Holy men and women have strived to live these loves in expanding the mission of Jesus
Christ.
Throughout the day of the event, the food stands offered a quantity of delicious and varied foods. Music filled the air and our children played games. It was a fun day and many
people shared their support of the Consolata Missions.
The leather recliner donated by Flex Steel was won by Ms. Pauline Librenjak. Congratulations, Pauline and thank you for your generous participation.
We Consolata Fathers would also like to thank the many people of the parish who were
involved in the planning, cooking, music, set up and so many other things needed to carry out
this mission day.
Those that came to enjoy the food and family atmosphere, we thank you, for without you,
none of this would have been possible.
So, we thank all of you. May God continue to bless and keep you in His love. May you
always love the Mission of a church that is always missionary.
Peace,
St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church

LEADERSHIP TRAINING
WORKSHOPS
Earlier this year, Catholic parishes throughout the
Diocese worked hard to collect signatures for the
SAFE initiative. As a result of such efforts around
the state, the citizens of California will now have the
opportunity to vote YES on Proposition 34 on November 6, 2012, ending the use of the death penalty
in California, replacing it with the sentence of life
imprisonment without the possibility of parole.
The Ministry of Life, Dignity and Justice invites each
parish to send at least two volunteer leaders to the
workshop in their vicariate:
 Learn how to engage parishioners in dialogue about the
Church’s teaching on the death penalty during October
“Respect Life Month.”
 Receive a resource kit of materials in English & Spanish from the CCC, USCCB and the Diocese of San Bernardino.
 Share ways to use this material in the parish.

Change Starts with Conversation:
An Invitation from the ICUC Community Ministry…….
Building community requires more than membership and caring for community requires more than concern.
Ideally, St. Francis de Sales is a place where we demonstrate our concern for one another actively by reaching
out and supporting each other, informed by the needs and experiences of our members.
In order to bring us to this vision, St. Francis de Sales and Inland Congregations United for Change (ICUC)
are initiating a “listening campaign” that involves small house gatherings in congregants’ homes. These meetings will be organized and facilitated by members of the ICUC Community Ministry of St. Francis de Sales.
The goal of this initiative — called Change Starts with Conversation– is to bring our members together to discover our greatest concerns and to understand the impact of systemic injustice on our community. This initiative
is designed to bring the diverse voices of our congregation together so that we can learn from each other and
harness the power of our whole community toward social justice for our members, our city, our state and our
country.
Please join us for this extraordinary opportunity to strengthen our community on Thursday, September 27, at
6:30p.m. at the home of parishioner Lorraine Mooney, 4150 Glenwood Drive, Riverside, 92501. We can’t do it
without you. For more information contact Lucia Mirande at 951.660-9355 or at [email protected].
