CATHOLIC PORTALS OF HOPE
Herein is a review of the principles used in composing these bi-weekly articles, which begin this date. Excerpts from the Holy Scriptures are the main points for discussions in the articles, though other sources may be used. There is no attempt to correlate the articles
with the Scripture readings at the Mass for that particular Sunday, nor liturgical seasons. The homily is the appropriate forum for this. Only vague references to time are used, such as: in ancient times, in biblical times, in the modern era, at the end of the ages. Since a thousand years are as a day in the sight of God, one cannot be more specific. The articles are from a Catholic viewpoint with no specific reference to other religions or denominations. Political commentary is studiously avoided. This is the first and last time that the United States or any country (except Israel) is referenced. General terms such as “the tumult of the nations” are employed. Specifically, the articles are meant to engender hope in the heart of the reader, a heart which is the gateway or the portal to God’s favors. In conclusion, let us take an example summarizing the foregoing. In Psalm 24 we read: “O gates, lift high your heads; grow higher ancient doors. Let him enter, the King of Glory!” Who is the King of Glory? He is the Lord, the Almighty! And so we have Psalm 24 exhorting us to open the gates of our hearts to God, and a Portal of Hope that God will contin-ue to pour his grace and the Holy Spirit into the depths of our being. Contributed by Gene Rheault, Carmelite.
… yet is their hope full of immortality. (Wis 3:4)

Catholic Community of Saint Patrick TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Es tiempo de añadir los reyes magos al pesebre. En 1448 llegaron los pesebres italianos a las iglesias españolas, pero no fue hasta que el Rey Carlos III le regaló un pesebre a su hijo en el siglo XVIII que el uso de pesebres se expandió en los hogares. Desde entonces, el uso de nacimientos llegó al continente americano en donde se con-vierte en la decoración principal para las fiestas navideñas. Así como en todo país latinoamericano el montaje del Belén es una tradición, lo es también en Venezuela. Con el pesebre venezolano llegan también aguinaldos, parrandas, Misas y patines. ¡Sí! ¡Patines! Desde la mitad del siglo pasado los venezolanos celebran la época navideña con “patinadas”. Estas “patinadas” normalmente se hacen por las mañanas y muchas calles están cerradas a los autos hasta las 8 a.m. para que niños y jóvenes puedan disfrutar de los patines, bicicletas y otros juguetes que les regala el niño Dios. Por eso, muchos niños duermen con un “cordoncito” atado al dedo gordo de los pies, que cuelgan por la ventana para que los despierten los que pasan patinado. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
BUENA DISPOSICIÓN Una buena disposición es una virtud en sí misma, y es duradera; el peso de los años no la deprecian, y el amor que se funda en ella perdura hasta el fin. —Ovidio
EL SENTIDO DE LAS COSAS El sentido de las cosas no está en las cosas mismas, sino en nuestra actitud hacia ellas.

SAINT PATRICK CEMETERY HOURS The cemetery is open from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM
seven days a week.
KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS Happy New Year! Consider making a powerful New Year's resolution to become more involved with the Church Communities at St Patrick’s and St. James. The Knights of Columbus are looking for Catholic gentlemen to join our Council and better serve our Church Community. If you or someone you know would like to know more about what we do please contact Marty Soth at (530) 647-0980. Crab Feed - In years past the Knights of Columbus have hosted a crab feed at the end of January as a means to raise funds to pay for the transportation cost to send a bus load of folks from St Patrick and St. James to the Walk For Life event in San Francisco. This year due to an algae bloom the harvesting of crabs off the coast of California and Oregon is currently prohibited. Consequently, our annual crab feed will be replaced with a Tri-tip dinner. The event will still have the wonderful raffle and bar. The Knights of Columbus hope that our Community of St Patrick and St. James will continue to help support this important fundraiser. More details to follow in the coming weeks. Jeffrey Lubenko, Grand Knight, Council 6322

SAVE THE DATE! The Winter Session of “Seasons of Hope”, a support group for those who have suffered the death of a loved one begins a new six-week program on Monday, February 1, 2016, 1:00-3:00 p.m. For more information and to register, contact Carol Davis: 530-748-9337.
CAREGIVER MINISTRY We have many people who visit, pray with, and give Communion to the sick and to shut-ins. Recently someone volunteered to relieve a full-time caregiver once a week. If you have the time and heart to relieve a caregiver, please call Larry Koncewicz at 916.996.8962. Or, if you need to have someone stop by your home for a visit, please call Larry or leave your information with Jeanne at the Parish Office.
CATHOLIC DIVORCE SUPPORT GROUP If, on your life’s journey, you have walked or are walking the rocky path of a Divorced Catholic, you may have considered the Annulment Process. What an annulment is and what it is not can be confusing. In our Year of Mercy, St Patrick’s Catholic Church is offering you the opportunity to investigate this process, find answers to your questions and consider whether you will take this path to what has been referred to as the “Eighth Sacrament”-- leading to healing and peace-of-mind. On Saturday, January 9, 2016 at 10:00 a.m. we will begin a 5-week program of support in a safe and confidential setting facilitated by people who have successfully completed this process. You are not alone! For more information or to register, call Carol Davis at 530-748-9337.

REPAIRS TO WALKWAY NEAR CLOTHES CLOSET A temporary repair has been made to the walkway that floods near the Clothes Closet. Our maintenance men constructed a small deck, placing it over the offending area. We painted the wood deck with an abrasive paint and added sand to the paint to make the deck surface gritty to help avoid slips. It will cost us a few thousand dollars to repair the collapsed drain line which requires removing and replacing the concrete sidewalk. Hopefully that project will be completed in the near future.
CLOTHES CLOSET The Clothes Closet needs brown bags. Please drop them off at the Clothes Closet Monday-Friday 9:30AM-12:30PM. Also, the Clothes Closet could use volunteers. If you’re able to work once a week or once a month please give Belinda a call at 530.621.7773. Thank you!
DONATIONS TO MOTHER TERESA MATERNITY HOME & THE UPPER ROOM We have several parishioners who regularly give to the Mother Teresa Maternity Home and the Upper Room. In the future, please make any checks payable to the MTMH or Upper Room and not to Saint Patrick Church. Thank you for your continued generosity.
MOTHER TERESA MATERNITY HOME ANNUAL DINNER & AUCTION We hope you’ll join us on the evening of February 6th, 2016 for the 13th Annual Dinner and Auction benefiting the Mother Teresa Maternity Home.

January 6th is the FEAST OF THE EPIPHANY – the day that the 3 Kings, las tres reinas, arrived to visit the baby Jesus. They came bearing gifts to the King of Kings, just as we bring ourselves to Jesus every day! Parents, you are encouraged to celebrate this feast day with your children and to look for activities that will help them to know the tradition, (as shown in the example to the left). Enjoy!
