May the God of peace make us completely holy.
May God keep us blameless in spirit, soul and body
for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Forever faithful is the One who calls us—God our Father!
Expectant, let us live in joyful hope
for the revelation of the glory
of our God and Savior, Christ Jesus!
To him be glory forever!
Come, Lord Jesus! Your grace be with us all. —From Come, Lord Jesus by Lucien Deiss, CSSp, copyright 1976, 1981, Lucien Deiss. Published by World Library Publications. p. 127

Currently we assist 115-120 families each week. We have 15-20 staff members that support various tasks to

Again, I want to thank everyone who have donated their time and money to make these events successful.
Dear friends,

Surf’s Up at St. Rose!
Mr. John Sanders, school principal and surfing enthusiast, has brought surfing to St. Rose! The surf program is anchored
by a Science of Surfing elective class, open to students in grades 6-8, which meets on Fridays. Students in grades 6-8 can
also be members of the school’s Surf Team, which competes in the Middle School Division of the Scholastic Surf Series
against schools from Los Angeles to Santa Barbara. Also, the school developed a Surfing Club, which is open to all ages
(parents, too!) and meets on weekends at various beaches. Members gain ocean knowledge, develop skills, and most
importantly, share fellowship. You do not need to know how to surf to join the team or club; novices are encouraged to
participate.
“Kids learn what a huge difference there is between what they think they can achieve and what they actually can achieve,” Sanders says.
“They face the moment-by-moment challenges that the ocean, weather conditions, and other surfers can bring. In surfing, as in life, you have
to ‘take a few on the head’ to catch that wave, but when you do, it’s pure magic!”

Why are some RCIA participants dismissed in
the middle of the Mass?
This Sunday, at one of the morning Masses, those
adults and children preparing to be baptized into
the Catholic Church, and those preparing for full
communion will be dismissed at the end of the
Liturgy of the Word. This will continue each
Sunday until Easter when, at the Easter Vigil,
those who are ready will join us at the Table of the
Eucharist for the first time. The parish is not
sending them out because they are somehow
“unworthy” to stay for the Liturgy of the
Eucharist. Though they cannot yet come to the
table of the Eucharist, Mother Church still has an
obligation to feed those who have entered into a
relationship with her through the Rite of
Acceptance and Welcoming which was celebrated
recently. God’s Word is their only food during
this period. Instead, the participants depart from
the Mass with one or more RCIA team members,
to discuss the Mass readings for that Sunday and
to experience more fully the impact of the
Scriptures in their lives. This time is known as
“Reflection on the Word.”
“All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable
for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for
training in righteousness, that the one who
belongs to God may be complete, equipped for
every good work.” (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
FOUNDATIONS IN LITURGY
Come hear Fr. Bill’s Dynamic and exciting presentation of the origins
and biblical foundations of the Sacraments, God’s gifts to bestow his grace on us in a
profound way.

Attendance at the prior sessions is not necessary
to be able to fully understand and or participate in this class. We look forward to seeing you at either
the Tuesday or Saturday session. Questions? Please contact Annette Cecil at 584-3533.
The conflicts of the early Christians in Corinth are in many ways similar to our struggles today
as Christians. They, too, witnessed division,
scandal, immorality, persecution and other trials. In response, St. Paul taught the
Corinthians about the Church as the Body of
Christ, introducing them to the most powerful gift of all: the Eucharist. Join us for the Bible study of First
Corinthians at St. Rose of Lima School in room 8 at 7:00pm
and continuing every Thursday. For more information or to
register for the study, please contact Dr. Neil Fanning, DDS,
facilitator, at: [email protected]

HOMELESS SHELTER VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Our Mother Teresa Christian Service helps the homeless of
Simi Valley in a special way during the winter months
from November through March. It represents our Catholic
community in an ecumenical effort called
P.A.D.S. (Public Action to Deliver Shelter). This program
provides shelter every night of the week, in a different
church or hall, during the five harshest months of win-
ter. St. Rose supplies night monitors every oth-
er Saturday night. The night monitors act as hosts for our
guests, providing a movie, snacks and coffee, etc., during
the evening and then breakfast in the morning before the
guests leave. The volunteers stay overnight from 7:30 pm
until 7:30 am the next morning. Adult volunteers are
greatly needed for this. If you can help or have any ques-
tions, please call Dave Burciaga, the St. Rose coordinator,
at (805) 795-6974. Thank you.

IT’S TIME TO DECORATE OUR CHURCH FOR CHRISTMAS!
Come one and all and roll up your sleeves as we make our church beautiful
again this Christmas We need men and women to help us. We will be
decorating on Friday, December 18 from 9:15am to 3:00pm and Saturday,
December 19 starting at 10:00 am. If you are interested in helping please call
Paula Wirtz at 584-0263 or just come to the church between 10am –3pm. You

Safety is key even when visiting Santa Claus Visiting Santa Claus can be a grand and positive
childhood experience. However, some people who
seek to bring Santa to life in a child’s world are not
deserving of our trust. Make sure your child knows
that there are special rules for Santa and that
parents or guardians must always be with the child
when he or she visits Santa. One rule to consider is
encouraging your child to stand next to Santa or sit
on the floor between his feet rather than sitting on
his lap. For a copy of the VIRTUS® article “Safety
for Children AND Santa’s Helpers,” email:
DID YOU KNOW? SABIA USTED?
La seguridad es clave aun cuando se visite a Santa Claus Visitar a Santa Claus (Papá Noel) puede ser una gran
experiencia para niños y muy positiva. Sin embargo, algunas
personas que buscan darle vida a Santa Claus en el mundo de
un niño no merecen siempre toda nuestra confianza. Asegúrese
que su hijo o hija sepan que existen reglas especiales para
Santa Claus y que los padres de familia o guardianes deben
siempre estar con los niños cuando ellos visiten a Santa. Una
regla a considerar es animar a su hijo o hija a pararse al lado de
Santa Claus o sentarse en el piso entre sus pies en lugar de
hacerlo sobre sus piernas. Para una copia del artículo

Helpers,” (Seguridad para los niños y para los ayudantes de
Santa”, envíe un email a: [email protected].
