A Word from Our Ministry Team

Farewell note from fr. Jamie

Grace and peace to you from God our

Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!

As many of you are aware, my time with

you is coming to an end. As I reflect upon
the last seven years, I am so delighted at all
the ways in which God has brought us
together through the Sacraments to share in
many of lifes events. With some of you I have shared great joys
and celebrations. With some I have shared great times of sorrow
and grief. It has been a great honor to share in these events along
with many other moments that we have shared in community and
fraternity, shared in the love of God and being the very Body of
Christ together.
I cannot say thank you enough for all that you have shared, given
to me, and what we have done together in sharing the good news
of the Gospel, which is to love like Jesus Christ. Thank you all for
your love, your prayers, your encouragement, and above all, your
willingness to go where God was calling us while I served as your
Associate Pastor.

Choosing Joy: Through Mary and Mercy into

Joy! is a day retreat for women of all ages
facilitated by Sally Robb. We cannot construct joy.
We can only receive it. But joy is not something
that happens to us. We must choose it every day,
and Mary gives us a model to follow in the world.
Tickets are $40 and include catered lunch. Event is
Saturday, May 21, 9:30 am - 3:00 pm at St. Austin Parish.
Get your tickets online at choosingjoy.eventbrite.com!

More UCC News & Events

Sponsor couples needed!

The UCC needs sponsor couples to help people planning to be

married in the Church. It only involves about 10 hours of time
spread out over a month or two. Training is provided. Sponsors
need to be practicing Catholics (interfaith couples are welcome
and encouraged, with the Catholic spouse practicing his/her
religion. Please help with this important ministry! To learn more,
please contact Kathy Hackett at oxxgal@yahoo.com
Marriage banns

We publish the banns of marriage between Adrian Rodriguez

Saldana and Cordelia Gutierrez Zambrano. If anyone knows
of any cause or just impediment why these persons should not be
joined together in Holy Matrimony, please contact Fr. Ed Nowak
at frednowak@utcatholic.org. This is the third time of asking.

My dear sisters and brothers in Christ, I leave knowing and

trusting that the CSP community will care for you and your needs.
Along with sharing with you the love that Christ has given to us all.
Know that I will continue to pray for you as you continue to be the
people that God is calling you to be.
Lastly, my hope and prayer is that the Holy Spirit will continue to
stir into flame the love of Christ that is in your hearts, that you
may grow in holiness and bear witness to the presence of God in
the world. All of us have been entrusted with a great gift: the gift
of faith. May that faith grow ever deeper through the Eucharist,
Reconciliation, prayer, service, and fellowship, that you may
always keep your eyes fixed on Jesus Christ and help others to do
the same. Any may Gods abundant blessings be upon you always.
Faithfully in Christ,
Fr. Jamie D. Baca, CSP

Congratulations to our seniors!

Know that you make us proud and that you will always be in
our prayers! Blessings to everyone for successful finals and a
wonderful summer. We look forward to seeing our
returning students in Fall 2016!
