Second Sunday of Advent December 4, 2016

JMJ 4 December, 2016 My Dearest Parish Family,

God be with us always.

Thank you very much for the warm welcome home greetings after being away for a Pilgrimage of Mercy in Italy. I meant it that I lighted a candle for our Parish Family whenever possible.

You probably know the saying: “Many hands make the load light.” This is true for the past two Parish events where the cooperation and working together of our parishioners made it possible and successful. I am referring to the Noel Night last December 2nd and the Welcome Rites and Activities for our Newly Registered Parishioners. We have, if you remembered, also began reciting together our New Parish Mission Statement. It is my hope and wish that as we pronounce it with our lips we instill it in our hearts and practice it in our lives.

We are halfway through the Season of Advent and as we move closer into Christmas it will only get busier and more hectic. May we all remember to heed what St. John the Baptist proclaimed, which is to prepare the way of the Lord Coming to us – our Messiah, our Emmanuel . . . the God who is with us.

One good means is through the Sacrament of Reconciliation, which our Parish will have during our Advent Penance Service on December 19th. However, there is no need to wait for that day because we have regular days and times for this Sacrament. It is a Sacrament of Hope and Healing. I read once: “Where there is no faith in the future there is no

power in the present.”

God’s mercy and forgiveness allows us to experience the grace and gift of hope; empowering us to persevere and believe in the immense love and care of God our Loving Father. This is what Advent is about – making a choice to allow the light to conquer – dispel the darkness. Life to triumph over death.

In parting, may I repeat what St. Paul wrote to the Romans: “Whatever was written previously was written for our instruction, that by the encouragement of the Scripture we might have hope.” Happy Advent.

God bless and take care.

Love and prayers,

Fr. Thomas Paul K. Naval JMJ 4 de diciembre 2016 Querida Familia Parroquial, Dios esté siempre con nosotros. Muchas gracias por los saludos y la cálida bienvenida a casa después de estar ausente por la Peregrinación de la Misericordia en Italia. Lo digo en serio que encendí una vela por nuestra Familia Parroquial siempre que fue posible. Probablemente usted conoce el dicho: "Muchas manos hacen la carga ligera". Esto es cierto, para los dos últimos eventos de la parroquia donde la cooperación y el trabajo conjunto de nuestros feligreses lo hicieron posible y exitoso. Me estoy refiriendo a la noche de Noel el pasado 2 de diciembre y los ritos de bienvenida y actividades para nuestros nuevos feligreses. Si usted recuerda también tenemos nuestra nueva Declaración de Misión Parroquial que juntos recitamos. Es mi esperanza y

deseo que como lo pronunciamos con nuestros labios lo instalamos en nuestros corazones y lo practicamos en nuestra vida. Estamos a mitad de camino a través de la temporada de Adviento y a medida que nos acercamos a la Navidad, sólo conseguirá ponerse más ocupado y ajetreado. Todos recordemos lo que San Juan Bautista proclamó, preparar el camino del Señor que viene a nosotros, nuestro Mesías, nuestro Emmanuel ... el Dios que está con nosotros. Es una buena manera de recibir el Sacramento de la Reconciliación, que tendrá nuestra parroquia durante nuestro servicio de Penitencia de Adviento el 19 de diciembre. Sin embargo, no hay necesidad de esperar ese día porque tenemos los días y horas regulares para este sacramento. Es un sacramento de esperanza y de curación. Una vez leí: “Donde no hay fe en el futuro no hay poder en el presente.” La misericordia y el perdón de Dios nos permiten experimentar la gracia y el don de la esperanza que nos da poder para perseverar y creer en el inmenso amor y cuidado de Dios nuestro Padre Amoroso. Esto es lo que se trata el Adviento – tomar una decisión para permitir que la luz pueda conquistar – y disipar la oscuridad. La vida de triunfo sobre la muerte. Puedo repetir lo que san Pablo escribió a los Romanos: “Lo que fue escrito anteriormente fue escrito para nuestra instrucción, que por el fomento de la escritura podríamos tener esperanza.” Adviento Feliz. Que Dios los bendiga y cuídense. Amor y oraciones,

Padre Thomas Paul K. Naval

Bible Study Wednesday, December 7th 9am or 7pm

“Women of Israel’s Early Tribes” is this week’s title chapter in the book, Women of the Old Testament. From the stories of Rahab, whose faith outweighs her reputation, and also from Deborah and Jael who are associated with military battles in the book of Joshua comes

mystery and intrigue. Heroines who are “blessed among women” have importance in the story of Israel and our faith story too. For further information, please call

Blankets could be brand new (a real treat for someone who never gets gifts)—or used blankets, clean and in good shape. Please bring them into our Religious Education Department now thru Christmas, and we will make sure they get delivered. As a donating family, pray for the person who will receive your gift. They will thank you in their hearts. May God bless your generosity, Gloria Fetta. Monday RE will resume on December 5th at 4pm or

December 9th and 10th Would you like a little spiritual “pick me up" this Ad-vent? St. Junipero Serra will be hosting a very special re-treat this Advent Season.

Ilibagiza’s entire family, except for one brother, was killed during the genocide in the 1990s when members of the Hutu militia slaughtered about one million Tutsis - Ilibagiza’s tribe. libagiza survived for 91 days with seven other women in a 4-by-3- foot bathroom in the home of a local pastor. She chronicled the experience in her first book “Left to Tell,” which sold more than a million copies. She tells a very compelling story of love for our Blessed Mother.

Novena en Honor a Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe

El Diácono Humberto, el Grupo Guadalupano y los Ministerios Hispanos te invitan a que nos acompañes a partir del 3 de diciembre a las 7 de la noche a rezar una Novena a Nuestra Virgen de Guadalupe. Ven y prepárate espiritual-mente para celebrar a Nuestra Virgen Morena en su día, a través de la oración.

¡VIVAMOS EL ADVIENTO EN FAMILIA!

El Adviento es un tiempo de espera, es una época de preparación para la venida de Nuestro Salvador y ¡qué bueno es que toda la familia participe en esta preparación.! Así lo entendemos en el Programa de Formación en la Fe y por eso organizamos una actividad muy especial en la que niños, papás, mamás y abuelitos aprendieron más sobre el significado del Adviento y juntos prepararon la “Corona de Adviento” que cada familia pondría en su hogar en esta temporada. En la foto Jocelyn y Esteban Ruiz de primer año de catequesis con su mamá y sus abuelos terminando su Corona de Adviento.

SOLEMNIDAD DE CRISTO REY Y CIERRE DEL AÑO DE LA MISERICORDIA

El pasado 20 de noviembre la comunidad parroquial de Santiago se unió en oración para celebrar al Rey del Universo, Jesucristo. En una Procesión Eucarística por cuatro estaciones, todos juntos oramos por la paz del mundo, por las necesidades de nuestros pueblos, de nuestra comunidad y familias y por las necesidades pro-pias. Al finalizar la procesión clausuramos el Año Jubilar de la Misericordia con un acto simbólico confiando en que nuestros corazones han quedado inspirados por el lema de este año: “Sean misericordiosos como el Padre”

¿TE GUSTARÍA HONRAR A NUESTRA SEÑORA DE GUADALUPE EN SU DÍA VISTIENDO A TU NIÑA COMO

ELLA?

Te invitamos a que traigas a tu niña vestida como nuestra madrecita del cielo el día 12 de diciembre para la Misa de las 7 pm para que participen de la procesión de entrada. Las primeras 20 niñas, entre 5 y 10 años, que lleguen a las 6 pm a la Iglesia vestidas como la Virgen de Guadalupe participarán en un concurso muy especial. ¡Compartamos nuestras tradiciones con los niños, ya

que es una buena manera de conservar nuestra cultura e historia a través de los años!

Exhibición de Arte en Honor a Nuestra Virgen María

Como ya es tradición en nuestra Parroquia, durante los días 9 al 19 de diciembre se llevará a cabo la exposición de honor a Nuestra Madre del Cielo. Esta exhibición ha sido posible gracias a la contribución de nuestros feligreses. Si tu tienes en casa una imagen, cuadro o estatua, de alguna advocación o aparición mariana y quieres prestarla para esta exhibición comunícate ya con nosotros al 949-951.8599 ext. 239.
