You were buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him
through faith in the power of God, who raised him om the dead.
— Colossians 2:12
Dear People of St. Patrick Parish: Once a year every parish in the Diocese of Oakland hosts a Catholic Mission to help spread the Catholic faith around the world. Missionaries throughout the world come to our Diocese to share the story of their missions and invite us to participate with our prayers and our financial support. Today, we welcome Fr. Ghebriel Woldai from the Catholic Diocese (Eparchy) of Keren, Africa. Please use the second collection envelope found by the parish bulletins for this collection. You do not have an envelope in your monthly collection since we never know what Sunday the collection will be taken up. Today, we have the opportunity to help our fellow brothers and sisters learn about Jesus, to know Him, to be baptized and to join our family of God. This is an important role each of us have to help spread the faith around the world. The message of Christ is more valuable to pass on than the messages of hate, violence and materialism, that many want to pass on. As Catholics, we care about all people and are willing to share our blessings from God to foster the message of Christ as found in our Catholic faith. God Bless,
Fr. Larry Young Pastor

Jubilee Year of Mercy July 24, 2016 Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
World Youth Day in Krakow: “Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy” This week, the universal Church focuses in prayerful solidarity on World
Youth Day in Krakow, where WYD’s founder, Saint John Paul II, served as archbishop. Its theme coincides with that of Pope Francis’ Jubilee Year of Mercy: “Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy” (Matthew 5:7). Today’s Gospel echoes the same theme, as Jesus unites prayer with mercy in “The parable of the persistent friend.” Jesus teaches us not only what words to pray, but what deeds must match authentic prayer. How beautifully down-to-earth is Jesus’ portrait of a God who can be trusted to do what is best for us. A pesky neighbor disturbs a sleeping friend and disrupts the household. Yet beautiful images unfold. Persevering prayer receives active, practical mercy in loaves of bread, recalling Luke’s unique expression for the Eucharist, “the breaking of bread” (Luke 24:35; Acts 2:42). WYD, the Jubilee, and Jesus thus unite to define perfect prayer as persevering communion with God and unconditional mercy toward our neighbor.
