Dear friends in Christ,
Today (Wednesday July 1) is the feast day of St. Junipero Serra. He was a Franciscan priest
born in Spain who eventually became a missionary in the United States, and personally
founded nine of the more than 20 missions in the southwest and California. Serra was
canonized in 2015 by Pope Francis at a special Mass in Washington, D.C. You may have
heard Serra's name in the news recently because a statue of his was torn down by
protesters in San Francisco. For a response to this act, you might appreciate the context
given by Archbishop Cordileone in his letter to the Washington Post at https://www.washingtonpost.com/
opinions/2020/06/30/statues-saint-junpero-serra-deserve-stay/. I'm sure St. Junipero made mistakes and
committed sins during his missionary work. He would be the first to have confessed them. I'm not so sure that
the idea of subjecting every historical figure to a kind of modern moral purity test is a good one. Who could
pass? It seems a better approach is honest debate and dialogue, so that the full picture can be assessed. In
2003, the state of Georgia decided to remove the symbol of the Confederate flag from its state flag, as did the
state of Mississippi last week. These acts, carried out by those who are held accountable to their constituents,
and following the rules of debate and procedure, make sense. Not to mention that at least some contemporary
usage of the Confederate flag image seems tied directly to racist sentiment and language, (undoubtedly a part
of the push behind the change) whereas no one today is using any image of St. Junipero Serra to advocate
mistreatment of anyone. Well, no one ever said the world had to make sense.
I have the week off next week on vacation to visit some friends. Have a happy and safe 4th of July, and please
celebrate our nation's birth and independence with responsibility and consideration for others. We are
given freedom to be exercised with the common good in mind. "For freedom Christ set us free. So stand firm
and do not submit again to the yoke of slavery." (Galatians 5:1) We were once slaves to sin, including the sin of
not caring enough about others to make concrete choices to love them and seek their good. No more! We are
supposed to be "dead to sin" now (Romans 6:11).
In Christ, Fr. Nick

COPIES OF BREAKING BREAD 2020 AVAILABLE
As we are currently not using the copies of
Breaking Bread, we would like them to be put
to use by our parishioners. If you would like a
copy of one, they are available in the back of
the church for you to take and keep. You may
bring it to mass for your personal use or use it at home if
you are watching mass online. Please put your name in it
and do not leave them in the pews. Thank you!
Preparing a
bread mix and
giving it to
someone you
love was one our
VBS activities.
This reminds us
that Jesus him-
self gives us the
bread of life and
we are called to
share it with
each other.

'Mental Health Minute' Videos
Has the COVID19 pandemic left you feeling
out of sorts in a way you can’t quite de-
scribe? In addition to the physical toll, an emotional heavi-
ness is also being experienced by many. If you’re experienc-
ing these things, you’re not alone. Catholic Charities li-
censed counselors have prepared ten (10), brief 2-3 minute
'Mental Health Minute' videos on a variety of topics, emo-
tions and situations that parishioners may be experiencing
while being physically separated from their parish commu-
nities. View all the Mental Health Minute videos
