OUR FATHER IN FAITH
The Letter to the Hebrews today sings a hymn
of praise to Abraham and to his faith, upon which
are founded the religions of Judaism, Christianity,
and Islam. Abraham is called “father” in faith by
more people on earth than anybody else, numerous
as the sands of the seashore or the stars of the heavens. Hebrews tells us it was this foundational faith
that led Abraham to obey God’s call when he heard
it, though he was called to journey to a land he did
not know and told he would father a mighty race
through a marriage he thought was barren. But
Abraham’s faith, the author of Hebrews tells us,
was his realization of what he hoped for, and the
evidence of what he could not see. How often are
we, in simple daily events of our own Christian vocation, called to an unfamiliar place or told we are
to do something we do not believe we can? How
fortunate we are to have Father Abraham as our
guide and example!

Dear Parishioners,
I am very grateful to Father Samy for his month long visit and assistance to our parish. I also appreciate Father Lewk’s adjusting his vacation to coincide with Father Samy’s stay so that I would have
weekend assistance.
Father Andrew DUNYO will return to us this summer on Wednesday of this week and I am grateful to
him also, so that Father Lewk will have help during the last three weeks of August when Father Espinal
and I will have our vacations.
During these past weeks, we have had part time assistance from Father Selva RAJ who gives mission
appeals for his bishop every weekend.
I’m just giving you a reminder: on Sunday, September 25, at the 12:pm Mass, we will open our year of
celebration of our 125th Anniversary as a parish.
The theme of the day is “Coming Home” to O.L.A. After Mass, there will be refreshments in the gym.
Father Labita, Msgr. Phillips and Father Devlin have said they will be present. A number of Sisters of
Charity and Franciscan Brothers as well as priest, religious sister and brother Alumni have also indicated their intention to be with us. Spread the word - it should be a great day!
Let’s pray for each other,
Msgr. Kevin Noone

The Arise Program is Coming to
Our Lady of Angels
We invite you to join the Arise program, which is a 3 year ( six weeks each )
parish centered process of spiritual renewal, evangelization and adult faith
formation that enables people to deepen their faith, develop a closer relationship
with Christ, grow in community and reach out in service to others.
The heart of this process will be gathering of small groups of people in
homes and in parish facilities to read and pray with the Scriptures. We are hoping
as many people will see this as a moment of grace and will participate.
The overall process guides the participants through five distinct periods of
time ( called seasons ) each of which is six weeks. See below:
Season 1- will begin the 1st week of October 2016 theme
“Encountering Christ Today”
Season 2- Lent 2017 “Change Our Hearts”
Season 3- Fall 2017 “In the Footsteps of Christ”
Season 4- Lent 2018 “New Heart, New Spirit”
Season 5- Fall 2018 “We are the Good News”
