Twenty-Seventh Sunday in
Ordinary Time
October 6, 2013
Come, let us bow down in worship;
let us kneel before the LORD
who made us.
Dear Parishioners:
— Psalm 95:6
Banners on the telephone poles around Woodland Hills are proclaiming the good news of
St. Bernardine’s Fall Festival next weekend – October 11, 12 & 13.
Our Festival committee began their planning as soon as last years festival was over! The
building of the team, the negotiations with ride vendors, decisions of where to place the booths
and rides, the buying of prizes, advertising, manning the booths, signing up the entertainment,
arranging of security, acquiring silent auction items etc. etc. is a gigantic task.
I have a debt of gratitude to the committee and all the volunteers who give so much to make
a success of our special weekend.
Be sure to plan your weekend meals around the festival – it will take the whole weekend to
properly sample all the delicious foods! Bringing your friends and neighbors contributes greatly
to its success.
And to all our regular parishioners, thank you for your patience with parking next weekend
and your understanding of our need for such a community builder and fundraiser.
See you at the Festival, God bless you all.
Father McNamara
St. Bernardine of Siena’s

BOOK CLUB

of whales) in old New England, is the book
club's selection for October. Come discuss it
in the Parish Library, October 28, at
9:15 am. All book lovers are welcome.
A message from our Associate Pastor, Fr. Dan Fox:
We Are All Connected
Jesus’ core message - that we are one - is
surely one of the great mysteries of existence.
This truth is so hard to accept because our senses
tell a different story: We are separate, different
and alone. We need an image to help us realize
what our senses cannot.
Picture the giant redwood trees of California:
They only grow in groves. Moreover, each tree’s
roots extend and grasp the roots of the
surrounding trees, forming a strong and
interconnecting network that serves to nourish and
sustain all of them equally.
Remember the redwood trees and their
invisible, interlocking roots as you discern your
vocation. You are not alone and never will be on
your chosen path to Christ.
-Ann Lang
