Fraudulent Phishing Email
NOT Sent by Father Tom!!

Good afternoon –

Today one of our Parishioners received a fraudulent email purported to be from Father Tom. This is called a “phishing scam.” Here is what a phishing scam is:

Phishing is the fraudulent attempt to obtain sensitive information or data, such as usernames, passwords and credit card details, by disguising oneself as a trustworthy entity or person in an electronic communication such as an email. Typically carried out by email spoofing, instant messaging, and text messaging, phishing often directs users to enter personal information at a fake website which matches the look and feel of the legitimate site.

Phishing is an example of social engineering techniques used to deceive users. Users are lured by communications purporting to be from trusted parties such as social web sites, auction sites, banks, colleagues/executives, online payment processors or IT administrators.

The goal of a phishing email is usually to send the criminal money or purchase debit cards and then give the “friend” in an email the account number on the debit card. People are often asked for their phone number in these emails.

If you receive a phishing email it is best to delete the email immediately.

Below is a chain of emails that were a part of this scam to our fellow Parishioner. We are sending this to you so that if you have not heard of this fraudulent activity you will know that this is always a possibility that you may receive a similar email from friends, relatives or even your pastor.

Thanks for your response Bruce. As a favor, I would be very glad if you can help me get a Steam Gift Card worth $500 at $100 or $50 denominations for a friend of mine going through cancer in the hospital. He needs the card to download his favorite gaming videos so as to boost his confidence on his next phase of surgery and fight over cancer which he’s going to undergo today but i can’t do this now.

Can you get it from any closest Store/CVS pharmacy around you right now. Here is how you are getting it delivered, you will see a silver print on the card, scratch the silver print gently, then email me picture of each card so I can get them forwarded to him directly and I promise to get you reimbursed as soon as i can.

“Whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.” Matthew 25:40

God bless you as you help my friend out of these terrible situation. Hope to hear from you soon if you can be of help.

Awaiting your response,
Fr. Thomas Kiely

Dear Fellow Parishioners,

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Are you ready for Advent? I hope so because it begins this Sunday! The songs this week should be mostly familiar. The opening song is one we introduced for Advent four years ago (The King Shall Come https://youtu.be/B6pquFuGhTU) The other that is less familiar is ‘Turn to Me’ which the choir sang this year for the first time on Ash Wednesday https://youtu.be/0FDphUBRsA4. The words for these songs and all others for this week can be found in this attachment.

The Gospel this week asks us to be watchful so I chose the next two songs to share:

‘Be Watchful and Ready’ sung by Andi Kitten and Madeline Powell   https://youtu.be/O6qTrqAyFkA

A more upbeat take on the subject is ‘Be Watchful’ by Gretchen Harris  https://youtu.be/D0iPILh8y5s

The next is an Advent song by Christy Nockels titled ‘The Thrill of Hope’  https://youtu.be/gNuY6I4OtoE

‘Wait for the Lord’ a Taizé hymn by Jacques Berthier https://youtu.be/s7GexIvX8HU

And my last link for this week is an interesting and beautiful version of an old standard for Advent ‘O Come, O Come, Emmanuel’ sung by Anna Hawkins, filmed in Israel and sung in both English and Hebrew. If you click on “Show More” below the title, you can see the lyrics in both languages.  https://youtu.be/MD-jBLZSZNU

I wish you and yours a blessed beginning to Advent. May God keep you safe and healthy throughout the holiday season.

Dear Fellow Parishioners,

Here we are at the end of the liturgical year, celebrating the Feast of Christ the King. Next Sunday is the first Sunday of Advent, believe it or not. This week the only song you may not be familiar with is ‘Hymn to Christ the King’ by Sarah Hart and here is a link so you can hear it: https://youtu.be/sCqxW8BnK-8 

The words to this song and all the others can be found in this attachment.

It was so hard to whittle down my list of song choices to share with you this week. I finally chose the following:

‘There Is a King’ sung by Chris Brown https://youtu.be/-h-NCaXwQ0s 

‘Heaven Crowned Him Christ the King’ a choral piece written by Pepper Choplin https://youtu.be/pqoVa-65IK4

‘Come Worship Christ the King’ by the Zoe Group https://youtu.be/njWIguJFaDo
This has an uninspired beginning, but quickly picks up. Hang in there.

‘The King in All His Beauty’ by Sovereign Grace Music
https://youtu.be/odKxftGhVRE

And lastly, in honor of Thanksgiving, ‘Give Thanks’ sung by Janella Salvador https://youtu.be/PYRgB26rPIs

Wishing you all a safe, healthy and very happy Thanksgiving,

Janis Cantú

Update on Father Tom

Fr. Tom checked in to the hospital at 7:30 am on Tuesday, November 17, 2020. The doctor said that Fr. Tom’s potassium level was perfect the morning before surgery. His cardiac ablation procedure which should have taken 3 to 4 hours ended up being 6.5 hours. The doctor said the procedure was much more extensive and complicated than he expected. He feels the surgery was a success. Fr. Emmanuel was able to visit him later that evening. Fr. Tom was in the hospital for just one night and was released early Wednesday evening.

Fr. Tom is doing well and will be staying at his sister Mary Ellen’s house as he recovers.

Praise and thanks to God for Fr. Tom and Fr. Emmanuel! Thank you all for your continued prayers.

Christmas Tree Sale Fundraiser
Ends Today!!!
Book Club Meets Next in December

Have you ordered your Christmas Tree/Wreath from the Summit Youth Ministry yet? If not, the last day to order is TODAY!

Christmas may look different this year, but that’s not stopping us from our annual Christmas Tree Sales Fundraiser to support our Youth Ministry programs and activities! All proceeds from the Tree Sale go directly towards programs that enrich our teens in Youth Ministry!

These are high-quality trees cut fresh the day they leave from Oregon! They are beautiful trees that smell absolutely GLORIOUS and last a VERY long time. Again, the proceeds go to our youth ministry and will help get teens scholarships for retreats, improvements for the youth room, and more!

In addition, you can purchase a Tree or Wreath and have it sent to a local military family via the “Trees for Troops” program. This is a great option for those families that use a fake tree or will be out of town for Christmas, and this will still benefit our youth ministry as we will still receive proceeds from this purchase!

Buy online at this link:
http://sacredheartob.org/youth-ministry/christmas-tree-sale-fundraiser/

After the pre-order you can pick up your tree at our festive tree lot on Sunday, December 6th from 8:30-1:00PM at the Church courtyard!

LAST DAY TO ORDER IS TODAY!

For more information on how to order a tree or wreath, go here: http://sacredheartob.org/youth-ministry/christmas-tree-sale-fundraiser/

Thanks so much everybody, and let me be the very first to say…MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
