CELEBRATE OUR SENIOR CITIZENS...
"For all they have achieved throughout life and for all they continue to accomplish, we owe older citizens our thanks and a heartfelt salute. We can best demonstrate our gratitude and esteem by making sure that our communities are good places in which to mature and grow older."
President Ronald Reagan~Presidential Proclamation (August 19, 1988)

Dear STL Families,
Did you know that Friday, August 21st is National Senior Citizens Day? We are truly blessed to have generations of loving people in our parish, most notably our seniors, the 'young-at-heart' folks. We miss those who have gone before us to prepare our place with them again. Yet we still have those who continue to teach us and inspire us here in this place.
Whatever you're doing this coming week, join me by carving out some time, maybe 15 minutes 2-3 times this week, to reach out to one of our 'young-at-hearts' ~ let them know you care and honor them for the life they live and the joy they are!
By the way, I spoke with Fr. Ron the other day. He asked me to tell you that his physical challenges still exist, but he's walking 3 to 4 times a week and he doesn't have stress exacerbating things. He likes how cool it is down in Rosarito Beach, compared to El Cajon. He also likes not having to get up at any particular hour, although he has been getting to bed earlier and waking up early. He also said that
he loves all of you and misses you.
On to other news related to our Outdoor Mass:
Lastly, don't forget the deadline for contributing gift cards to fill Anza Elementary's Lunch Box is August 30th. Contact Pat Riggs directly at wallypatriggs@gmail.com.
Oh yeah, I'm still praying for a Live-stream Mass Volunteer Crew. HELP!
With a very grateful heart,
Jane
