ENCUENTRO 2000
Encuentro 2000 will hold its Next Session on Wednesday, September 27th, from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. All are welcome! This next session will be especially for families. You are encouraged to bring your children grades 8th and up.
The theme for fourth this session will be: "Sharing our histories in Christ . . . How can we our parish community better reflect the gifts and contributions of all its members? How is the history of our parish family a source of hope and inspiration in confronting the challenges we face today? What changes in our attitudes might take place when challenging realities are faced and approached from our common faith in Christ?"
Encuentro 2000 is the National Celebration of the Jubilee Year by the Catholic Bishops of the United States. In each parish throughout our country, six participant friendly sessions are being held with the goal of bringing together ministries that make-up our American parishes and improving on how we interrelate. New parish members are particularly encouraged to attend and get involved.
We meet to discuss and learn, not to challenge nor to judge, nor to try to change others. Rather, through dialogue, we seek to develop better strategies for our parish to welcome all, celebrate racial, ethnic, cultural, and other group diversities. All are encouraged to attend. If you have any questions, please call Joe Bowman at 818 - 889 - 6879 after 6:00 p.m.

CHILDREN'S LITURGY OF THE WORD
Children's Liturgy of the Word is celebrated at the 9:00 a.m. Mass beginning September 24th. Children in the first through fifth grades are brought to an area in the parish school to listen and discuss the Liturgy of the Word in language that is appropriate for their level. They return to the church at the beginning of the Eucharist. This is not part of the Sunday school program held at the same time in the parish hall. You do not need to register your child, just send him or her when the priest calls the children to the Altar.
We need your help! Carol Livingston gave many wonderful years to developing this program, as have many of our leaders. However, Carol and a few of the leaders will be moving on since their children have outgrown the program. If you love young children and would like this program to continue, there are many different ways for you to help.
We especially need parishioners to help with music and be leaders of the Liturgy of the Word. You will be trained...you won't be on your own!
Your commitment could only be once a month if we have enough help! Call Cindy Kozal if you have questions and for information. Home: 818 707-7629. Work: 818 889-0612.

HAVE YOU DONE YOUR PART TO HELP
"OUR SISTER PARISH"?
If you have not yet made your 2000 Pledge Commitment to our Sister Parish, Holy Spirit Catholic Community in Los Angeles, and helping those less fortunate, please prayerfully consider doing so now or whenever your financial picture changes. We cannot ignore the needs of our poorest sisters and brothers. Rather, we need to stand in most heartfelt, and genuine support, with them.
"Together in Mission" truly does help our poorest parish communities, as we heard on "Announcement Sunday" when members of our Sister Parish reported to us at each Mass. Every penny raised goes to help them meet their needs.
