HOW DO WE TREAT THE MESSENGER?
Let’s not be too hasty in defining who is “the wick- ed one” and who (namely us) is just! We are very quick to label others as evil, because we tend to label ourselves as good guys. We don’t like it when we are brought up short by a prophetic voice that brings us some bad news about our own behavior. We don’t like to be reproached for transgressions of the law or charged with violations of our training.
We may condemn and abuse those who bring us up against these truths about ourselves when, if we were really good, we would thank them for helping to keep us on the right path. This is the way they treated the prophets and the way they treated Jesus. Is this also the way we treat those whose message we don’t like?

How long have there been parochial schools in the United States? Longer than you may imagine. The Jesu- it fathers opened Saint Mary School in Philadelphia in 1782 in the first light of independence. Catholic and Protestant squabbles about the nature of education forced the Fathers to make this risky and innovative ven- ture in the heart of the city. The school was closed by a devastating fire in 1902, but reopened in 1968 as St. Mary Interparochial School, the first example of a shared parochial school. It is also the only Catholic school with- in the confines of a national park. This is the “Mother School” of this uniquely American institution. Many paro- chial schools, especially in “national parishes,” were es- tablished to preserve the culture and language of the “old country,” and also to protect young people from prejudice.
In other countries, Ireland for one, the Church is authorized to run national schools, sometimes under the sponsorship of a parish. In still other places, such as Quebec, publicly-funded “separate schools” were ad- ministered by the Church. Wherever the state funds Catholic schools, normally enrollment is guaranteed to all applicants. The Quebec system was dismantled in 1998 when the state decided to reorganize schools along linguistic lines rather than religious affiliation. Pa- rochial schools require considerable sacrifice, but they endure as a distinctive treasure of the Church in the United States.

St Paul Parishioners and guests, just a friendly word of caution.
In the next 30-60 days there will be construction work of the interior and exterior of our church and parish hall and parking lights. We are retrofitting/upgrading the lighting into more energy efficient fixtures.
There should be no interruption or interference with our weekday and weekend Masses. The work will be done during the weekdays between the hours of 9am-5pm.
St Paul’s is given this blessed opportunity to save on our monthly expenses and have an impact to our carbon footprint on the environment. The reduction to our monthly electrical bill will greatly help our already tight budget for this year and years to come.
The SMUD Complete Energy Solutions Program offers us this opportunity to upgrade our lighting fixtures. It will help save an estimate of $663 per month on our electrical bill, saving 5,393.50 kWh per month or $39,804 in 5 years-saving 323,610 kWh in 5 years.
St Paul’s impact to our carbon footprint to the environment is:- Remove 6.47 passenger vehicles from the road,
- Save 64,721.95 kWh which reduces our CO2 emissions, and
- Sequester the equivalent of 95.14 acres of forest.
The overall Installation cost is $18,230.49 but with the 49% rebate offered through the program, our net project cost will be $9,363.58, the ROI or project will pay for itself in 1.18 years.
We apologize in advance if there are any inconvenience the construction work may cause.
For any questions or concerns call Dale Yamamoto at 916-257-3323
Thank you for your understanding and patience.
For the greater glory of God

The Bereavement Ministry provides desserts and salads to supplement food the family provides at receptions fol- lowing the funeral of members of their families. The min- istry is reaching out to parish members to join with this ministry and help provide the desserts and salads need- ed for these receptions.
Volunteering to help requires providing a dessert, or salad to feed approximately 5 people
Members are normally only solicited to provide food once a month.
The support volunteers providing food are greatly ap- preciated by the families of deceased members, and is a vital part of the corporal work of mercy to bury the dead.
If you would like to join this vital ministry please call the rectory office (926)381-5200.

Corporal works of mercy are those that tend to the bodily needs of other creatures. They come from Isaiah 58 and the mitzvah of hospitality. The seventh work of mercy comes from the Book of Tobit and from the mitzvah of buri- al. The seventh work is to bury the dead.
Our Bereavement Ministry mission is to assist families in both spiritual and corporal ways to aid in the loss of a loved one. The ministry participates in vigil service, the burial mass and in providing comfort and a place for family mem- bers to meet and remember their loved ones.
The Parish provides the parish hall for the family to eat, unite and be reunited to honor and remember the loved one who has died. The ministry provides for the meal both des- serts and salads, to supplement the food provided by the family.
