SJCCC Member eNews: 8-days Spiritual Excercise Retreat

親愛的主內弟兄姊妹:
避靜是一個駐足,聆聽,觀察與尋找的時刻。在神聖的當下,重建我們與天主的關係。避靜給予我們尋找天主與自我的機會。它給我們足夠的空間碰觸內心深處的渴望,與天主交談。避靜就是與天主一齊渡假!
Retreat is a time to Stop, Listen, Watch, and Search. It is a sacred moment to rebuild our relationship with God. Retreat gives us a chance to find who God is and who we are. It gives space to allow us to touch our deepest desires and allow God to talk to us. Retreat is to have a vacation with God!

SJCCC Member eNews: Advent Retreat Registration start now...

親爱的主內兄弟姊妹:

再次提醒諸位,將臨期避静已經開始報名,並將於11月15日結止。我們很榮幸請到了聖言會的韓清平神父遠從河北的石家压市專程來帶領這次的避静。主題是 “福傳於華夏" ---天主召叫了我 ,給了我們使命 ,傳福音給我們的同胞以及周圍的朋友們。

避靜的第一部分,是介紹中國天主教的歷史和中國基督徒信仰的發展,進而審視華人教會的現況。從歷史中得到啟發,了解我們的挑戰,思考我們的福傳使命。

第二部份我們將回到聖經 ,看舊約中天主怎樣召叫先知, 以及新約時代 耶穌怎樣召叫門徒。這些被天主召叫的人, 一開始是懷疑的 、徬徨的 、害怕的。接受召叫後, 隨即有奇蹟發生。如果我們想一想,個人被召叫的過程必然也有與門徒或先知相似的經驗。

我們有時會想,如果耶穌生活在華人社會,衪會怎樣宣告這個好消息?我們在信仰中體會到天主的愛和被天主感動的經驗,必然想要去分享給那些在華人社會中沒有聽過耶穌的朋友。這次的避靜, 韓神父帶著他在中國傳教的經驗,邀請我們一起來分享這個愛的使命 --- 福傳。

靈修组在此誠摯的邀請您参加!

報名請在主日彌撒後,或直接與下列教友電話聯絡:

陳惠群 (408)272-4975
湯明昭 (408)216-9848

eNews to SJCCC Members

Dear Chair Board,
Would you please use the alias "enews @ sjccc.org" when you want to send an email to the SJCCC Community? This way, Xiuli and I can handle the request without duplicating efforts/emails.

We now have close to 600 people in the email list now. We need to respect people's email rights as they are our family in Christ, and we also don't want to get into problem legally (there are government SPAM regulation) and with the Internet Service Providers (they don't deliver our emails if they see a lot of complains). After moving to the current ISP earlier this year, things are much better now, and our emails are being delivered.
Here are some best practices/Suggestions:
  • Please send us a subject line in English (Chinese do not display consistently in subject line)
  • Please only send information that is directly related to SJCCC and of interest to most of the people
  • Please address the community and sign your letter. We are not to WRITE the email for you, we are delivering. Think of yourself as the Shepard addressing your sheep. We are just your mailmen, mailmen don't write anything for you. :)
  • If possible, please have both English and Chinese in the text. Many people can't read Chinese email (all Youth/most YAG, many older computers, and blackberries), and some people can't read English email (less).
  • It's not good to have attachments, we can upload your attachments and send URL to it.
  • Usually, try to avoid sending multiple emails per day to the community (our previous stated preference was 1-2 per week). We sent 4 emails in the last 2 days, and we see people unsubscribe when the volume goes up since some people may be annoyed. With this alias, we can try to regulate the flow to avoid this.
Thank you for your work for Christ and for the Community.

May God bless us to do His will,
+Tony

SJCCC eNews: New evangelism team for the Chinese speaking group

Dear community members,
Following the retreat, any ideas about how to be involved in the New Evangelism? The SJCCC Evangelization group would like to invite everyone to join us in answering Jesus' calling to be "Fishers of Men".

We have two introduction meetings about our plans (same content) after Mass on 9/13 (Parish Hall) and 9/20 (lower Church), please come and join us. Also, please feel free to contact us at et@sjccc.org.

Reminder: in your celebrations for the mid-autumn festival around 10/3, please don't forget to extend the invitations to friends and relatives who may not yet know Jesus.

May God bless us to bear fruits for Him a hundred fold.
SJCCC Evangelization Team
福傳小組
1. 新福傳 - 讓我們一起划向深處,再次撒網,接受耶穌的邀請,成為"捕人的漁夫". 唯有您的參與,我們才能一起將漁網拉起來,裝滿兩漁船!
誠懇的邀請每一位教友在彌撒後,選一天來分享這新福傳的喜悅:
9/13: SJCCC福傳組年度計畫介紹 - 彌撒後在Parish Hall
9/20: SJCCC福傳組年度計畫介紹 (重複) - 彌撒後在樓下教堂
2. 今年中秋節是10/3,讀經小組Potluck時,請別忘記邀請還不認識耶穌的親友一起慶祝這個團圓的節日!
福傳是每位教友的責任,您有心支持福傳嗎?請與我們聯絡:et@sjccc.org

福傳小組分享
為什麼天主教友不和親友分享信仰? (摘譯自Today's Parish)
1 怕被拒絕
2 過去分享信仰的經驗不太愉快.
3 教堂氣氛冷淡,新來者不感到被歡迎
4 不知如何分享(因而需學習)
如何改善?
1 在教會活動中,建立以言語分享信仰的信心.
2 在堂區聚會中,包括信仰分享, 它與祈禱同樣重要
3 在兒童道理班,請家長做見證,以鼓勵子女
4 在退省或研討會中,協助教友寫下簡短見證
5 重視來教堂的訪客,讓他們感到賓至如歸

SJCCC eNews: Need New Collegeville Bible Commentary translators

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

This email is asking for translators who can translate The New Collegeville Bible Commentary from English to Chinese.


親愛的教友:

日前接輔仁大學神學院教授及輔仁大學神學叢書的主編胡國楨神父來函,向大家問好並祝福大家平安。近一年來,胡神父與張錚錚弟兄及樂近英姐妹合作編譯一些讀經所需的參考書籍,並組成「活水編譯小組」,稍有成果,並經輔大神學叢書編輯委員會審核通過,將以輔大神叢書名義出版。

目前「活水編譯小組」發現The Liturgical Press的全套The New Collegeville Bible Commentary(新約部分,共12冊)是一套合乎時代、也有學術基礎,並是以教友程度而準備的聖經詮釋。所以決定把這套詮釋編譯成中文。「活水編譯小組」為了下一階段的工作目標正準備近日能編譯為這個工作,需要徵求各方面的人才,尤其需要初譯人員及試讀人員,胡神父的徵求譯員的啟事如下:

活水編譯小組徵求譯員啟事

1. 「活水編譯小組」的發起人為張錚錚、樂近英夫婦、胡國楨神父。我們的目的在與台北輔仁大學神學院合作,為以中文讀聖經的基督徒準備一些有用的參考書,或編,或譯,或寫。

2. 我們已編譯完成《隨著教會禮儀讀福音:從聖誕期到復活期》,並即將完成《若望福音及書信詮釋》(簡要本),以上二書均為廿世紀聖經詮釋權威Raymond E. Brown的作品。

3. 我們目前正在籌劃出版「聖經詮釋(簡要本)」,打算將The Liturgical Press的全套 The New Collegeville Bible Commentary(新約部分,共12冊)編譯成中文。所以,我們需要徵求優秀「英譯中」人才加入我們,擴大增加「初譯組」的成員。

4. 「初譯組」所做的是整個編譯工作的第一步:初譯者負責將分派到的那一冊翻譯成「中文初稿」,交由「編審組」(由輔大神學叢書主編胡國楨神父的編輯室成員組成)審訂、排版,並為中文讀者補充編寫必要的【審訂者註】,完成「中文二稿」製作「試讀本」,交由「試讀組」試讀提出修訂意見。所有試讀意見匯整給「編審組」參考,為全書做增、刪、潤飾的工作,形成「中文三稿」。最後,由「定稿組」以通順、優美的中文為全書定稿,並做末校。全書定稿與否的總負責人為胡國楨神父,並需經「輔大神學叢書編輯委員會」審核通過,才能付梓。

5. 出版發行的整套書的內容,由輔大神學院及活水編譯小組共同負責。因此,整套書編譯者署名為「活水編譯小組」、審訂者為胡國楨神父,並邀請每位初譯者為所譯該冊寫篇1000字左右的「譯者序」或「譯後語」,與讀者分享譯述心得。

6. 由於我們經費有限,無法籌措足夠的翻譯稿酬。因此,為聊表謝意,除了致贈每位譯者全套每冊各一本外,當每冊出版發行時,將以下述兩種方法之一作為象徵性的薄酬,請每位譯者擇一:致贈當冊40本,或新台幣10,000元。

7. 本小組有兩位召集人,在台灣為胡國楨神父,在美國為樂近英女士。有興趣參加我們「初譯組」的同道,請與她們二人之一連絡。我們會致贈《若望福音及書信詮釋》前半的試讀本一冊給您參考,並提供您尚未有人認譯的冊數,讓您認譯。請您試譯一頁,先給我們過目,為您提供意見,而後才開始正式翻譯。最好在三個月之內譯畢,最遲也請勿超過五個月。好讓我們有時間從事後續作業。

8. 最好能用電腦打字交稿,若無法用電腦打字寫作者,請用有格稿紙謄寫清楚,寄來輔神編輯室,我們可以幫忙打字。

若您有興趣參與這項事工,請與「活水編譯小組」聯絡 - 胡國楨神父 peterkchusj@gmail.com或樂近英 lochingying@yahoo.com.

Kids for Christ Summer Activity

ˆ¢›H, �f�f˜ì�D,

Many years ago, the Watermark youth group organized a one-day summer vacation bible study for the kids, grades K-8, of St. Clare's (SJCCC)-- a day filled with arts and crafts, learning about Jesus, games, and songs. Though it has been a couple of years since the last Kids For Christ (KFC), the Watermark youth group has decided to bring Kids for Christ back again! This year, it will be held Saturday, August 15, 2009. Please check your calendars and mark it in! Activities will be planned from 9:00am to 4:00 pm, lunch included. Please fill out the registration form and turn them in on Sunday, August 2 or Sunday August 9 by the snack area after mass. The cost is $15 and will be used for lunch and a t-shirt.

How KFC will work:
Parents drop off kids at 9:00am in the Parish Hall for check-in. The high school students and young adults will have activities planned for the entire day. Please pick your child up at 4:00pm. We can make arrangements if you need to pick up your child later than 4:00pm.

Please sign up! (The registration form is attached.)

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact:
Jennifer Kuo: qtowl @yahoo. com or
Shanmei Kuang: shpammy @gmail. com

Thank you!

SJCCC June Council meeting summary 6/11/09

There were 18 people attending this meeting

1. Donation to St. Joseph of Cupertino for the usage of their church facilities in the past year. Currently we have 3 groups using some rooms at various time of the week. These groups are: Cantonese YAG (Edward), Cornerstone (Vincent Wang), Bible Study Friday Morning(Cecilia Chao). Throughout sharing and discussion, Fr. Olivera delegated Cecilia and Vincent to communicate this donation issue(how much and how to pay) with Fr. Kimm.
2. SJCCC Core value reflection, we had some sharing on what the core value of SJCCC in the meeting. In last a few months, we could observe the level of community enthusiasm and financial support was getting low. During summer time, it will be even lower. This is a huge topic and will affect how we perceive the future SJCCC organization and direction. We plan to have one day retreat in August. Currently we are checking availability of presentation center, Los Gatos, and will announce later.
3. 6/21 celebration of Fr. Olivera 25 year anniversary of priesthood ordination. Bishop McGrath will preside Mass at 3:00PM in St. Clare. There will be slide show and story sharing from Fr. Olivera after Mass at upper church. We'll have a pot luck dinner to celebrate this event and Father's Day. 李志慈 and 姜新新 will coordinate all the dishes. We suggested each ministry group (legion of Mary, small faith sharing group, bible study, WaterMark YAG…….) bring 2 tray of same kind dish.
To avoid duplication, please register yours first. We need to have 5 people help in the kitchen from 1-3:00PM on 6/21 and 10 people help in setting up table at 4:30PM. Please let李志慈 know if you could help.
4. TJ fund raising and community service. We did not get update from leaders in this ministry.
5. Monthly financial statement. We did not get update from our financial committee in time.(will be published later)
6. Kid for Christ, Day Camp activity for young children will be held on Aug 15, Saturday. Please reserve a fun day for your children or grandchildren.

Mother's day flower sale

The Water Mark Youth Group will organize a fund raising activity for Tijuana mission of this year. They'll sell Mother's Day Flower Bouquets at the church hall way on the coming Sunday after mass. Due environment concerns, though the youth group will not go to Tijuana in this summer, they still continue fund raising efforts to support the families in need over there. This is not only a great way to express our appreciation of mothers but also support a very worthy cause. 100% of the flower sales benefits will go to the Tijuana project. The kids are making the flower bouquets by themselves.

Your prayers and supports are deeply appreciated.

God Bless,

SJCCC: Invite Friends to 4/19 Church Tour

主內的弟兄姊妹們平安,
謝謝大家為復活節福傳大會熱誠的祈禱及踴躍邀請親友。這次活動有250多人參加,包括約50位非教友。感謝天主的祝福俯聽我們的祈禱,也謝謝大家的努力以及很多家庭慷慨的奉獻這次活動的經費。

大家都明白,這次活動只是福傳的開始,我們必需繼續祈禱,繼續多多關懷、及邀請這些(及更多)非教友們的參與。福傳組為此已安排一系列"來看看吧!"的活動。第一項活動是參觀教堂:每一座教堂的建築物都不一樣,也都有一個故事 -- 您知道我們的教堂是一個古蹟嗎?當你走進一座教堂,怎麼知道她是天主教教堂? 天主教教堂為什麼有那麼多聖像?您想知道嗎?非教友也會很有興趣的。

請於4/19彌撒後 (4:15-5:35pm),邀請並陪伴非教友們來參與!Flyer: http://www.sjccc.org/download/09-04-ET-church-tour.doc
4/26 (4:15-5:35pm)在樓下教堂也有為非教友們安排的活動,詳情會陸續發表。

請繼續大力祈禱及支持,謝謝大家為主及主的團體的付出!
願天主讓我們能為祂結出百倍的果實

Dear brothers and sisters,
Peace to you and your family! Thank you for your prayers and your participation, over 250 people attended the Easter Event, including about 50 non-Catholics ("new friends"). Praise God for the blessing and for answering our prayers! Also, thanks to so many people who helped made the event a wonderful experience, as well as those who contributed the funding.

This event is just the beginning of the evangelization effort. We need to continue to pray, to care about those non-Catholics around us, as well as continue to invite these and other friends to join us. Therefore, the Evangelization Team has arranged a series of "Come & See" activities. The first one is "Church Tour" -- every church is unique and has a story behind it. Did you know our church is a historic site? When you go into a church, how do you recognize that she is a Catholic church? Why are there so many statues of Saints in Catholic churches? Are you curious? Most non-Catholics would be interested also! Please invite and bring them to the church after Mass on 4/19 for this special guided tour 4:15-5:35pm. See flyer: http://www.sjccc.org/download/09-04-ET-church-tour.doc

On 4/26, after Mass (4:15-5:35), we will have another special activity for non-Catholics at the lower church. Details to be announced soon.

Please continue to pray and support, thank you for your work for Christ and for the community.
May God bless us to bear fruits for Him a hundred fold!
SJCCC Evangelization Team
PS: Here are the pictures from the Easter Event, please share with your friends as a way to invite them back for the Church Tour:

Security enforcements to parish facilitites

Dear ministers:
In the April council meeting of last week, the school principle, Kathy Almazol delivered a severe warning message in a polite way for our usage of the school premises, that we must use them with responsibility. She uses an analogy that we ought to protect the facilities just like the way we protect our own home. In the past, we have received warnings of security violation several times, but nothing is more serious than this one. The main gate of building A was wedged by a cloth and left open after the Sunday school until the next morning. The back door to the restroom near the kindergarten classroom also remained unlocked. Taking the opportunity of meeting with the council members, she also mentioned several violations in the past, including cases of opening windows, unlocked doors, and switched on light. Some of them occurred after the Saturday night programs. While there is no easy way to prevent the problem, the council meeting has agreed to enforce the following guidelines to alleviate its' occurrence:
  1. We will enforce individual accountability to use the facility;
  2. Everyone who holds a key either to the church, the parish hall, or any other school facility must register to the chair board.
  3. For those who no longer carry community functions must turn in his/her key;
  4. Every program conducted at parish premises must pre-register with the chair board, as well as, the Parish office, regardless it is a one time or recurring activities;
  5. Every activity sponsor, including a CM and Chinese school teacher, a workshop coordinator, or a program leader, who checks into a facility, is responsible to maintain the property in the original state when checks out;
  6. Every Sunday, all school activities must finish before 5:45 pm, so that a volunteer parent, served as a security supervisor, will perform a final check to all facilities. Any exception to this requirement must communicate with the on-duty security supervisor ahead of time. The program sponsor will then assume the ultimate responsibility;
  7. Any one, who breaches the above-mentioned rules, will be suspended from the usage of the facilities in the future.
It is unfortunate that we have to stipulate this kind of harsh rules, but consider the privilege which we have received from the Parish, a small sacrifice to a little personal inconvenience can benefit the entire community in the long run. Your understanding and cooperation is appreciated.
Please return the attached facility registration form and/or the key ownership registration form to the chair board no later than April 30, 2009.
God Bless,
Li-peng (on behalf of the chair board)
