OUR LADY OF TAHOE PARISH MISSION STATEMENT

As disciples of Jesus Christ, and in the name of Mary, Our Lady of Tahoe Catholic Community welcomes and embraces all those who come to us. With the guidance of the Holy Spirit, through worship, the sacraments and loving service, we provide for one another’s spiritual and material needs. In being so nourished we reach out in faith to serve the larger community

AUGUST 24, 2008 ~ TWENTY-FIRST SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
As Eliakim is given authority as master of the palace, so does Jesus confer upon Peter authority to bind and loose. To Jesus, who promised to be
with his Church for all time, be glory for ever and ever!

Heartfelt thanks ~ Pixie would like to thank the many people who called, wrote, sent cards, and dedicated a Mass on the occasion of her Dad’s death.

Last week’s Catholic Question: What is Faith?
Lauren Marshall, age 13, submitted the right answer: “Faith is a gift from God to trust in him and believe in him.” Very good, Lauren! The theological answer: Faith is the theological virtue by which we believe what God has revealed as it is taught by the Church.
This week’s question: How do we give proof of our faith? If you think you know the answer, email David Harrison at TahoeDRE@att.net, or call the office at 588-2080.

To all Lectors, Altar Servers, and Extraordinary Ministers ~

Upon this rock I will build my church… Matthew 16:18

God’s doorkeeper must not abuse his authority but care for those under his authority…
How might I care more for those under my authority?

Paul tells us that God’s ways are often not clear to us…
What has made me most aware that God’s ways are not necessarily my ways?

Jesus demands that his disciples understand who he is.…
How would I answer Jesus’ question today?

Those who attended the Morning of Reflection given by Sister Patricia Riley, C.S.C. received a special blessing in the way of a WAKE-UP CALL to
“Lay Ministry in the Church”! She left us with the following inspiring quotation ~
If not me, then who?
If not now, then when?
If not here, then where?
If not for the Kingdom, for what? Rabbi Hillel - 100 B.C.

We are ALL challenged to serve the Kingdom!! Thank you, Sister Patricia!!
