After six years of faithfulness to the call to the Permanent Diaconate, the Candidates for Ordination completed their last instruction with Ken and Maggie Johnson (far left). The Candidates (left to right, behind Sr. Wanda) are Joseph and Yen Bui, Victor and Rosa Rodriguez, Michael and Jennie Lou Tippett, Stephen Tran, and Thai Tam Nguyen. They begin a five day Canonical Retreat at Christ the King Retreat Center in Citrus Heights on June 12th. Many Deacons will be present to share wisdom and experiences. Please keep these men and their wives in your prayers as they listen to the whisperings of the Hoy Spirt during the retreat.

June - Blessing of the Land
Land and life go hand in hand. Our daily bread comes from land as well as much else that sustains us. The land is beautiful for its mountains and plains; its beauty resounds in the canyons and draws. Its goodness thrives in the forests and fields; every plant emerges from it.
Do we take for granted how precious and fragile the land is? How grateful we should be! Only in rich soil do roots grow deep; if we deplete the soil, we risk everything. Our lives and the great variety of life on the earth depend upon the land and its vitality.
Let us thank God the Creator: He shares this land with us as a promise of His goodness, now and for eternity.

Great Read for Married and Engaged Couples!
1. Remember every day that marriage is a gift from God placed like the Blessed Sacrament in your hands, hands which God has joined. You are Christophers, Christ-bearers. Every dimension of your being is to become a grace-giving sacrament, a lived liturgy, a total offering, a holy mystery of divine and human love. Your every gesture, lived in fidelity to your promises, saves the world. Rejoice that you have become God-with-us, embodying him in a way absolutely and uniquely yours.
2. Love is the bond that seals you as one, and the gift that is poured out for many.
3. Honor is the guardian of love, so you must show honor to each other and guard each other’s honor, especially teaching your children to honor their mother and father.

Conferencia para padres de familia. “Ser padres hoy, retos y desafíos”.
Junio 17 y 18, 2022
En el contexto de concluir el año de la familia llamado por el Papa Francisco, ofrecemos esta conferencia a padres de familia con hijos en las edades de la preadolescencia y adolescencia. Es una oportunidad de capacitarse en la misión que Dios les ha dado como educadores, formadores, guías y orientadores de la vida de sus hijos. En estas conferencias nos hablarán sobre la autoridad que debemos tener como padres y nos darán herramientas para entender y saber dialogar con los hijos en cuestión de la depresión, el suicidio entre preadolescentes y adolescentes, entre otros temas. En cuanto la educación de los hijos dice el Papa Francisco en Amoris Laetitia #261, “se trata de generar procesos más que de dominar espacios.”
El conferencista será el Lic. Ferney Ramirez, psicólogo clínico y con estudios de teología y espiritualidad. Junio 17: 7-9 pm (Inscripciones: 6:00PM) y Junio 18: 8:30 AM a 5:30 PM, en el gimnasio de la parroquia Sagrado Corazón, 1200 Lyons Ave., en Turlock. El evento es en español y solo para adultos.
Para inscribirse llame a la parroquia Sagrado Corazón en Turlock (209) 634-8578. Costo: $13 para el almuerzo. Contaremos con recursos de Caridades Católicas, del Departamento de salud mental del condado de Stanislaus, el Encuentro Matrimonial y el Movimiento Familiar Cristiano. Este evento es una colaboración de las Parroquia del Sagrado Corazón en Turlock, Sagrado Corazón en Patterson y la Oficina de Pastoral Hispana.
