Twenty-Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time
October 13, 2013
If we have died with [Christ Jesus]
we shall also live with him;
if we persevere we shall also reign with him.
— 2 Timothy 2:11-12a
Dear Parishioners:
Our Festival weekend is in full swing and tonight someone will receive a phone call that they
have won the grand prize of $5,000.00. I usually pick out the winning ticket and immediately
the winner is called with the good news. Once, I remember when the phone was picked up, the
annoyed winner said: “Who’s this calling, I’ve gone to bed.” Another time when the winner was
announced, a voice from the crowd yelled “That’s my grandma”. If you would like a chance to
get that phone call Sunday night, and I think all of us would love a $5,000 windfall, be sure your
name is in the ticket drum. I’ll try my best to find it!
I thank the incredible committee. Their planning for this years festival began even before
last years festival was over. Most of them will live in our parking lot for the weekend! Their gift
of time and talent to make our Festival successful is huge.
Here is the committee - may God bless them all:
• Chairpersons: Tod Borowski, Michele Sjolander
• Scheduling: Donna Cote
• Food: Charlene Barkes, Wendy Moreno, Tami Alcocer, Dave Downing.
• Beverage: Cathy/Paul Barkes
• Manpower: Tony Bourgeois, Bryan Cantwell, Tod Sater, Michael Murray
• Prizes: Cindy Simoni, Helen Griffiths, Sophia Crescenzi, Keey Caldera
• Auction: Valorie Snyder
• Raffle: Daniella Stark
• Entertainment: Alan Sjolander, Dean Cresecenzi
• Publicity: Susan Sole
• Permits: Tracy Norton
• PreSale: Carrie Law
• Sponsorship: Cathy Borowski
• Finance: Doug Thompson, Jill Ortiz, Mandy Rhodes
While the committee works all year, another army of workers will be busy this weekend. Too
numerous to mention by name, they are essential to the success of the Festival in working the
food booths, game booths, entertainment etc. etc. Thank you all so much. Lastly, to you, who
with your friends and neighbors, come to enjoy the Festival, thank you. You are the final piece
that makes our Festival both a financial and community building success. May the Lord bless
us this weekend with the best Festival ever.

~ Shower Sunday Update ~
Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of
the St. Bernardine community, the Justice
and Peace committee was able to supply
over 650 bagged hygiene kits to M.E.N.D.
(Meet Each Need with Dignity) in Pacoima. M.E.N.D.
currently maintains 4 showers appreciated by over 200
homeless people a week. We were also able to donate
several boxes of family-size items to the Guadalupe
Community Center in Canoga Park. The Center
improves the lives of nearly 10,000 low-income people
each year through emergency assistance services and
innovative programs for all ages. All donations were
very gratefully received. The Justice and Peace
committee members greatly appreciated the many
hands that collected and sorted the donations and
bagged the kits – including several of our
Confirmation students and their parents.
