FATHER’S DAY
Congratulations to all Fathers in our Parish who work diligently to be good fathers, whether they be stepfathers, biological fathers, or just spiritual fathers.
Today we celebrate the gift of “fatherhood” and express our gratitude to Fathers and all the exceptional men in our families that play the role of “father.” We honor the memories of any who have died.
FOR ALL FATHERS, WE PRAY
O Lord our God, creator of heaven and earth, you have revealed yourself as a heavenly Father to all of your children through your Son Jesus Christ. Bless, we pray, all earthly fathers. Strengthen them to nurture, protect, and guide the children entrusted to their care. Instill within them the virtues of love and patience. May they be slow to anger and quick to forgive. And through the ministrations of your Holy Spirit, may all fathers be strong and steadfast examples of faithfulness, responsibility, and loving-kindness; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
THE MONTH OF JUNE IS DEDICATED TO THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS
Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in you.
O Sacred Heart of Jesus, for whom it is impossible not to have compassion on the afflicted, have pity on us miserable sinners and grant us the grace which we ask of you, through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, your tender mother and ours.
Say the Hail, Holy Queen and add: “Saint Joseph, foster father of Jesus, pray for us.”

NEWS AND UPDATES
CHANGE IN COVID REGULATIONS
With the changes in Covid regulations in California, Archbishop Cordileone has announced changes in the protocols that govern our celebration of the Eucharist in our parishes. If you are in touch with parishioners who are not on social media, we would be very grateful if you could call and share this news with them.
First and foremost, the Archbishop has announced that as of the weekend of June 26-27 (officially June 24), the Sunday obligation to participate in the Eucharist has been restored. However, even though live-stream Masses will continue around the Archdiocese, it is not a substitute for participation in person unless illness or frailty makes it the only option.
Second, masks will still be required for all, and we are encouraged to maintain a 3-feet physical distance between households.
Third, missalettes will be restored to use in the pews for the next cycle.
Thank you for your participation and support during these times. We look forward to returning to a more normal pattern for our lives.

Religious Freedom Week, June 22-29 USCCB resources to “Pray – Reflect – Act”
Beginning with the feast day of Sts. Thomas More and John Fisher, and including the Nativity of St. John the Baptist, the week-long commemoration ends with the feast of Sts. Peter and Paul. This year, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops chose the theme Solidarity in Freedom. “Solidarity means much more than engaging in sporadic acts of generosity. It means thinking and acting in terms of community” (Fratelli tutti, 116). Religious freedom allows the Church, and all religious communities, to live out their faith in public and to serve the good of all,” according to the USCCB.

Gospel Reading
Mark 4:35-41
Jesus calms the storm.
Mark 4:35-41
Jesus calms the storm.
Background on the Gospel Reading
Today's reading describes how Jesus calmed a storm at sea. It is the first of four miracles that are presented in sequence at this point in Mark's Gospel.
Jesus' rebuke of the storm echoes the rebuke he uses when he talks to and expels demons. In each situation, Jesus' power and authority is a sign of his divinity. Indeed, the disciples are left wondering about Jesus' identity at the conclusion of today's Gospel. They see before them a human being who acts with the authority and power of God. The disciples' uncertainty about Jesus' identity is a recurring them in Mark's Gospel.
This Gospel is a metaphor for our lives. We are in the boat, the storms of life are raging around us, and like the disciples, we may believe that Jesus is unconcerned, or “sleeping.” We hope that we will be as familiar with Jesus as his disciples. If we feel that Jesus is sleeping, are we comfortable enough to wake Jesus and present him with our needs? Jesus does not chide his disciples for waking him. Instead he chides them for their lack of faith, for their lack of perspective. When we bring our worries to God in prayer, we might just begin to learn to see things from God's perspective.
