This Week
We Celebrate The Feast of Mary Magdalene
|
|
|
 Saint Mary Magdalene
July 22 |
|
|
The Collect
Almighty God, whose blessed Son restored Mary Magdalene to health of body and of mind, and called her to be a witness of his resurrection: Mercifully grant that by your grace we may be healed from all our infirmities and know you in the power of his unending life; who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
The First Reading
Judith 9:1,11-14
Judith prostrated herself, put ashes on her head, and uncovered the sackcloth she was wearing. At the very time when the evening incense was being offered in the house of God in Jerusalem, Judith cried out to the Lord with a loud voice, and said, “Your strength does not depend on numbers, nor your might on the powerful. But you are the God of the lowly, helper of the oppressed, upholder of the weak, protector of the forsaken, savior of those without hope. Please, please, God of my father, God of the heritage of Israel, Lord of heaven and earth, Creator of the waters, King of all your creation, hear my prayer! Make my deceitful words bring wound and bruise on those who have planned cruel things against your covenant, and against your sacred house, and against Mount Zion, and against the house your children possess. Let your whole nation and every tribe know and understand that you are God, the God of all power and might, and that there is no other who protects the people of Israel but you alone!”
The Response
Psalm 42:1-7
Quemadmodum
1 As the deer longs for the water-brooks, *
so longs my soul for you, O God.
2 My soul is athirst for God, athirst for the living God; *
when shall I come to appear before the presence of God?
3 My tears have been my food day and night, *
while all day long they say to me,
"Where now is your God?"
4 I pour out my soul when I think on these things: *
how I went with the multitude and led them into the house of God,
5 With the voice of praise and thanksgiving, *
among those who keep holy-day.
6 Why are you so full of heaviness, O my soul? *
and why are you so disquieted within me?
7 Put your trust in God; *
for I will yet give thanks to him,
who is the help of my countenance, and my God.
The Epistle
2 Corinthians 5:14-18
The love of Christ urges us on, because we are convinced that one has died for all; therefore all have died. And he died for all, so that those who live might live no longer for themselves, but for him who died and was raised for them.
From now on, therefore, we regard no one from a human point of view; even though we once knew Christ from a human point of view, we know him no longer in that way. So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation.
The Gospel
John 20:11-18
Mary stood weeping outside the tomb. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb; and she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had been lying, one at the head and the other at the feet. They said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him.” When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you looking for?” Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.” Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned and said to him in Hebrew, “Rabbouni!” (which means Teacher). Jesus said to her, “Do not hold on to me, because I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’” Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord”; and she told them that he had said these things to her.

The Episcopal Church in Navajoland Copes with
Rising Pandemic
|
|
|
June 25, 2020
“The teaching I grew up with is that when you hear the first thunders of Spring, you pause, take in a few deep breaths, and stretch with all of creation,” says Ms. G.J. Gordy, a parishioner and lay leader at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Coal Mine, New Mexico. “But this Spring, our world is hurting.”
Fears that the coronavirus would run rampant in Navajoland have tragically been realized: the Navajo Nation has experienced a death rate per capita from Covid-19 that is among the highest in the nation. With a high prevalence of chronic health conditions such as diabetes and heart disease—and few health care facilities located within the borders of the Navajo Nation—the Navajo are particularly vulnerable to the worst effects of the pandemic.
The Episcopal Church in Navajoland (ECN) spans regions in three states, with nine churches spread over more than 27,000 miles of rugged, beautiful, high-desert lands. ECN serves hundreds of individuals and families with direct service ministries and pastoral care. In response to the needs of parishioners and their communities during the pandemic, ECN has reached out with food deliveries, home worship kits, check-ins on elders, and extensive on-line prayer and worship services. Through block grants and fundraising assistance, the Episcopal Church Center helps to support ECN’s efforts.
“We as clergy are experiencing new and creative ways of sharing the Gospel of love, hope, and harmony,” Rev. Cornelia Eaton, Canon to the Ordinary in the Episcopal Church in Navajoland says. “We are all responding to the spiritual needs in our communities in the safest ways we are able.”
The Church is also working to ease some of the economic pain for families brought on by travel restrictions, business closures, and unemployment, which was already well above the national average before the pandemic struck.
“The church is not a building, it is the people,” the Rev. Kay Rhode, Vicar of St. Christopher’s in Bluff, Utah, says. Providing groceries, personal care items, water, and firewood to people in need are just some of the ways that the Episcopal Church in Navajoland is working to aid the community, one neighbor at a time.
Visit the Episcopal Church in Navajoland to learn more about Church’s work and current needs of the Diné.

A Message from the Planned Giving Ministry
Planned Giving – My story Laurie Boone Hogen
 Like so many parishioners, I moved to Sonoma County once I retired and wanted to be near my American family. Given that I have British grandchildren, I also live several months in a village in England to be with my daughter and her family. Belonging to a parish in both places, anchors me spiritually and socially.
Given that I have spent my working life in the education of the young, mostly in Episcopal Schools, when it came time for me to update my will, I wanted to make sure that I could leave a little something to my family especially my grandchildren, to specific Episcopal schools and to my parish.
Recently, I added St. Patrick’s in my estate planning so that the work of this parish that means so much to me continues. There is so much that I value about this parish, but I do have a special love for the Outreach and Education ministries.
Please Join me in adding St. Patrick’s to your estate planning and become part of the Legacy Circle
The Planned Giving Ministry members include Laurie Boone-Hogen, Chair, Stephanie Chapralis McCaffrey, and Ann and Alec Peters.

The following educational offerings will be available on Zoom beginning in August and September. In some cases participants will need to purchase the required books as well as sign up for the specific course in order to receive the Zoom invitation.
“Falling Upward, A spirituality for the Two Halves of Life” by Richard Rohr will be offered by Sharron Simpson on Mondays at 4:00 P.M. on August 24, 31, September 21, 28. Sharron is a Spiritual Mentor, Educator and Storyteller and has taught several classes at St. Patrick’s.
“Falling Upward calls forth the promise within us and frees us to follow it into wider dimensions of our spiritual authenticity.” (Joanna Macy)
This class is an invitation to go deeper into self-awareness, Holy Mystery, and the unfolding of spiritual maturity. We will engage in reflection, vigorous discussion, Soul-full imagination, and prayer. If you desire to be challenged, awakened, expanded in Spirit, join us. Sharron can be reached at wellspringgodeeper@gmail.com. Please sign up for this course by contacting Sharron or Bobbiejo at St. Patrick’s. Parishadmin9000@gmail.com. Please purchase the book, Falling Upward before the first class.
“Sacred Ground, a Film-based Dialogue Series on Race and Faith” will again be offered by the Commission for Intercultural Ministries of the Diocese beginning in September with facilitators Bob Wohlsen and Sharron Simpson. This is a ten- week course and does require the purchase of two books, Waking up White by Debbie Irving and Jesus and the Disinherited by Howard Thurman. Please read the description of the course included in this E Blast. The website is https://www.episcopalchurch.org/sacred-ground. Contact Bob Wohlsen (bob.wohlsen@gmail.com or 510-926-0286) for more information and to register.
Having just completed this course, I highly recommend this life-changing opportunity to better understand America’s, and our church’s, historical role in racism and what our faith calls us to do to eradicate this sin. The course begins on Thursday, September 10 from 1:00-2:30 and continues every Thursday for 10 weeks. The dates are September 10, 17, 24; October 1, 8, 15, 22, 29; November 5, 12. Preparation for each class requires watching a video and reading selected articles and chapters in the required books.

Priest Doyle will lead the discussion on Acts beginning Wednesday, July 29.
Priest Doyle will lead the Wednesday Bible study on Romans, September 23 – November 18.

Amen.
