Did you know? Child protection efforts extend to coaches
The Catholic Youth Organization/Department of Catholic Schools coaches’ training program implemented
in 2005 was created to insure the safety and well being of elementary school children, and coaches, in the
Archdiocese of Los Angeles. Its two-hour training session covering child protection laws and procedures as
well as character and safety training is mandatory for archdiocesan paid and volunteer coaches. All of the
4,500 coaches affiliated with 216 Catholic elementary schools are expected to attend the training. In order to

EXPLORE YOUR FAITH SERIES
KEEP YOUR FORK!
There was a young woman who had been diagnosed with a terminal illness and had been given three months to
live. So as she was getting her things “in order”, she contacted her Pastor and had him come to her house to
discuss certain aspects of her final wishes. She told him which songs she wanted sung at the service, what
scriptures she would like read, and what outfit she wanted to be buried in. Everything was in order and the Pastor
was preparing to leave when the young woman suddenly remembered something very important to her.
“There’s one more thing,” she said excitedly… “What’s that?’ came the Pastor’s reply. “This is very important,”
the young woman continued. “I want to be buried with a fork in my right hand.” The Pastor stood looking at the
young woman, not knowing quite what to say. “That surprises you, doesn’t it” the young woman asked. “Well to
be honest, I’m puzzled by the request,” said the Pastor.
The young woman explained. “My grandmother once told me this story, and from that time on I have always tried
to pass along its message to those I love and those who are in need of encouragement. In all my years of attending
socials and dinners, I always remember that when the dishes of the main course were being cleared, someone would
inevitably lean over and say “keep your fork.” It was my favorite part because I knew that something better was
coming… like velvety chocolate cake or deep-dish apple pie…Something wonderful and with substance!”
“ So, I just want people to see me there in that casket with a fork in my hand and I want them to wonder “What’s
with the fork?’ Then I want to tell them: “Keep your fork…the best is yet to come.”

nd
2 Sunday in Ordinary Time
Word of God-“Here I am Lord, I come to do your will” is our Psalm Response this Sunday in appreciation of the
Jesus as the Light of the World, the sacrificial Lamb of God, the one upon whom the Holy Spirit rested as John the
Baptist proclaims. And so my homily about the beloved and love, what submission means, and thus leads us to doing
God’s will, leads us to ask ourselves “Are we doing God’s will”? Answer that question and then ask are we ready to affirm
or renew our commitment to do His Will? The answers will give substance our recitation or singing of the psalm
response; “Here I am Lord, I come to do your will”!

This is Stewardship Month! It is that time of the year when we review our stewardship of time, talent and in particular, treasure.
The Did You Know Column raises our awareness of our the time and talent spent by our parish
family. Hopefully you are counting yourself in the growing number of persons who can proudly
say I am a part of the “__________ ministry”. If you are still seriously discerning we continue to
pray for you. As we assess our stewardship of treasure standing on the firm foundation of God
being with us, blessing us, and outstanding in His Generosity, we are called to review the
principles of Tithing, our growth in commitment to Tithing, and thus renew our commitment to the
Stewardship of Treasure on behalf of St. Brigid and our charities.
