This non-profit organization is the link between organ and tissue donors … and patients on the transplant waiting list. At the time of death, part or all of a person’s heart, intestines, kidneys, liver, lungs, pancreas, bones, corneas, skin, tendons or veins, might actually be used to help a sick person come back to normal life. As of 2 months ago, over 7 million Californians were on the California Donors’ Registry. The bishop is on it. So am I. (This is good, because 18 people die daily because of the shortage of available organs.) Even the Pope is on a similar list! He writes: “To donate one’s organs is an act of love … a free act of love, of availability, that every person of good will can do … for someone else. As for myself, I have agreed to give my organs to whomever might be in need.” How would you like to go around with the Pope’s heart inside you! (Actually, maybe that’s not such a big deal, since Catholics after communion have Jesus’ body and blood inside.) Peace and All Good! P.S. For more information, contact: California Transplant Donor Network 1000 Broadway, suite 600 Oakland, CA 94607-4071 e-mail: www.ctdn.org phone: (888) 570-9400 Una nota del Párroco Queridos amigos: Recientemente el Obispo García nos pidió a los sacerdotes que promoveríamos el respeto a la vida humana para animar a los católicos para que consideren la inscripción en la Red de Trasplantes de donantes de California. Esta organización sin fines de lucro es el vínculo entre los donantes de órganos y tejidos ... y pacientes en lista de espera para trasplante. En el momento de la muerte, todo o parte del corazón de una persona, los intestinos, los riñones, hígado, pulmones, páncreas, huesos, córneas, piel, tendones o venas, podrían ser utilizado para ayudar a una persona enferma a volver a la vida normal. A partir de hace dos meses, más de 7 millones de californianos estaban en el Registro de Donantes de California. El obispo está en la lista. Yo también (Esto es bueno, porque 18 personas mueren diariamente debido a la escasez de órganos disponibles.) Incluso el Papa está en una lista similar! Él escribe: "El donar los propios órganos es un acto de amor ... un acto libre de amor, de disponibilidad, que toda persona de buena voluntad puede hacer ... por alguien más. En cuanto a mí, me han puesto de acuerdo para dar mis órganos a cualquier persona que pudiera necesitarlos." ¿Que le pareceria andar con el corazón del Papa dentro! (En realidad, tal vez esto no es una cosa muy importante, ya que los católicos después de la comunión tienen el cuerpo y la sangre de Jesús en el interior.) ¡Paz y Todo Bien! P.S.

To be faithful stewards of God’s gifts, we too must persevere in the roles to which we are called.

GRAND PRIZE: $10,000 - Paula Rodriguez 2nd Prize: $1,000 - Henry Dill 3rd Prize: $500 - Sylvia Hackett REVERSE GIVING PROJECT - The Reverse Giving Project has finally come to an end. The Stewardship Committee would like to thank everyone who participated. If you recall, a little over a year ago, $10,000.00 was given out to the parishioners with the invitation to live St. Matthew's parable of the talents. We had no idea then what would happen with the economy being the way it is. For a while, we worried that we would not even bring back the original $10,000 to the parish. We decided that would be all right because the focus of the project was to live the parable and not everyone in the parable "doubled their talents". We prayed to the Holy Spirit and when the project ended, we felt blessed that we received back, $14, 463.00. We are in the process of inviting St. Patrick's Parish in Watsonville to accept the original $10,000 and are asking them to also live the parable of the talents. The remaining money will stay in our parish and be given to the charities' fund. Watch for the next parish newsletter, where we will try to list all the comments from the reverse giving participants. Thank you once again.
