Join us February 4, 2017 at our 5:30pm Mass as we celebrate 47 of our own youth in receiving
the sacrament of Confirmation.
Únase a nosotros el 4 de febrero, 2017 a las 5:30pm nuestra misa celebramos 47 de nuestros jóvenes para
recibir el sacramento de la confirmación.
Today is traditionally a day of resolution-making. So, on this feast of Mary, Mother of God, I would like
to suggest some Mary-inspired resolutions.
Be open to God’s will. In St. Luke’s gospel our first encounter with Mary we meet a young Jewish girl
who says “yes” to God’s strange request, even without total understanding, Luke notes that Mary was
“greatly trouble” by the request. Her response was one of complete trust and courage. She didn’t say,
“Who me? What will people think?” She said, “Yes”. She believed she had gifts that were being called
upon and she had the courage to be open to God’s will for her. Pope Pail VI gave Mary the beautiful ti-
tle: “The attentive Virgin.” Exercise the same openness to God when your gifts are called upon, even if
you feel too busy or afraid. Trust and the power of the Sprit will support you.
Be a Christ-bearer to the world. The Greeks gave Mary
the title Theotokos, which means “God-bearer”. And, indeed, she is the bearer of God made flesh to the
world. We too hear Christ’s spirit in us and share him with the world through our presence, love, and
service. This year do your Christ-bearing more consciously and each time recognize Christ being reborn
in you through your love and actions.
Be attentive to the needs of others. Remember the Wedding Feast at Cana? Mary was the one who
noted that the wine was running out, and she was the one who did something about it. Sensitive to oth-
ers, she did not shrink from taking responsibility when she saw a need that she could help meet. Use that
same sensitivity, attentiveness and leadership in your own home, neighborhood, and society.
Be compassionate toward those who suffer. Mary at the
foot of the cross was the personification (embodiment) of compassion. She is also the compassionate com-
panion of every sorrowful person who has experienced a loss, suffered sickness, heartache and pain. This
year when you are called upon to stand at the foot of those countless crosses of others, open yourself to
share their pain with loving passion. Compassion means to suffer with.
Be open to the call of the Spirit. In the story of Pentecost we find Mary and the other disciples being
empowered by Christ’s Spirit to become church. In that upper room they understand what it means to
bring Christ’s life, care, concern, attention, compassion and hope to others. Place yourself next to Mary
in that room, open yourself to the Spirit and better understand what living your baptismal call means.
We are initiated into church to make a difference in the world through our discipleship.
I will you peace on this first day of the 2017. May your resolutions, whatever they are, contribute to a
holy and grace-filled year for you.
Fr. Bill
Hoy en día es tradicionalmente un día de resolución de decisiones. Así, en esta fiesta de María, Madre de Dios, me
gustaría sugerir algunas resoluciones inspirados en María.
Estar abiertos a la voluntad de Dios. Del evangelio de san Lucas, nuestro primer encuentro con María, nos encon-
tramos con una joven judía que dice "sí" a Dios la petición extraña, incluso sin total comprensión, Lucas señala que
María fue "muy problemático" por la solicitud. Su respuesta fue uno de completa confianza y valentía. No dijo,
"¿Quién yo? ¿Qué pensará la gente?" Ella dijo "sí". Creía que había regalos que fueron llamados y que tuvo la
valentía de estar abiertos a la voluntad de Dios sobre ella. El Papa Pail VI dio el hermoso título de María: "La Vir-
gen atenta." El ejercicio de la misma apertura a Dios cuando tus dones son llamados, incluso si usted se siente
demasiado ocupado o miedo. La confianza y el poder del Espíritu le brindará su apoyo.
Ser un portador de Cristo al mundo. Los griegos dio a María
el título de Theotokos, que significa "Dios-portador". Y, de hecho, ella es el portador de Dios hecho carne para el
mundo. Nosotros también oír el espíritu de Cristo en nosotros y compartirla con el mundo a través de nuestra
presencia, de amor y de servicio. Este año hacen su cojinete de Cristo cada vez más consciente y reconocer a Cristo
Renacido en ti a través de tu amor y acciones.
Estar atentos a las necesidades de los demás. Recuerde las bodas de Caná? María fue quien señaló que el vino se
estaba acabando, y ella fue quien hizo algo sobre él. Sensible a los demás, ella no rehuyó asumir la responsabilidad
cuando vio la necesidad de que ella podría ayudar a satisfacer. Usar esa misma sensibilidad, atención y liderazgo en
su propia casa, el barrio y la sociedad.
Ser compasivo hacia aquellos que sufren. María al
pie de la cruz era la personificación (encarnación) de la compasión. Ella es también el compañero compasivo de cada
persona doloroso que ha sufrido una pérdida, sufrió la enfermedad, la angustia y el dolor. Este año, cuando son
llamados a estar al pie de los innumerables cruces de otros, abrirnos a compartir su dolor con la pasión amorosa.
Compasión significa "sufrir con".
Estar abiertos a las inspiraciones del Espíritu. En la historia de Pentecostés nos encontramos con María y los otros
discípulos están facultados por el Espíritu de Cristo para ser iglesia. En ese cenáculo entienden lo que significa
llevar la vida de Cristo, el cuidado, la preocupación, la atención, la compasión y la esperanza a los demás. Colóquese
junto a María en esa habitación, abrirnos al espíritu y a comprender mejor qué significa vivir su llamada bautismal.
Somos iniciados en la iglesia para hacer una diferencia en el mundo a través de nuestro discipulado.
Quiero que haya paz en este primer día del año 2017. Que vuestras Resoluciones, cualesquiera que éstas sean, con-
tribuyen a un santo y año de gracia para vosotros.

St. Vincent de Paul Building Renovation
On January 3rd the renovation of the St. Vincent de Paul building will begin. This project supported by the Pastoral Council is the result of a six month consultation process with the contractor PDG Builders working with the Building and Grounds Committee to determine the work needed to secure and update the building. The Archdiocesan Building Committee re-viewed the contract and final approval was given by the parish Finance Committee a few weeks ago. The 94 year old building is in good struc-tural shape but needs to be secured and sealed to prevent further deterioration. The project will include new windows, new ex-terior coating, and new restrooms. There was extensive discussion on replacing the windows with wood frames, to maintain the original look but early on it was deter-mined it was something we cannot afford. The new windows are a vinyl composite that will last for many years, without maintenance as would wood windows. Due to the extensive brick work around some to the windows and the difficulty matching mortar and bricks it was decided to coat the building will an exterior coating that will not need replacing for some years. We acknowledge this is a major change of the look of the campus but given the monies we have available in our savings, this is the best solution. During the renovation project, due to safe-ty concerns, St. Vincent de Paul, RCIA, Choir, Marriage Preparation sessions, Le-gion of Mary, and CCE classes, have gen-erously agreed to relocate for the duration of the project. During the project unauthor-ized persons will not be permitted in the building. The renovation is scheduled to be com-pleted in April 2017. Fr. Bill
San Vicente de Paúl, renovación de edificios el 3 de enero la renovación del edificio de San Vicente de Paúl comenzará. Este proy-ecto apoyado por el Consejo Pastoral es el resultado de un proceso de consulta de seis meses con el contratista PDG obreros traba-jando con la Comisión de edificios y ter-renos para determinar el trabajo necesario para asegurar y actualizar el edificio. El edifi-cio Arquidiocesano Comité revisó el contra-to y la aprobación final fue dado por el Comi-té de Finanzas de la parroquia hace pocas semanas. El edificio de 94 años está en buena forma estructural pero debe ser asegurado y sella-do para evitar un mayor deterioro. El proyec-to incluirá nuevas ventanas, nuevo revesti-miento exterior, y nuevos baños. Hubo un extenso debate sobre la sustitución de las ventanas con marcos de madera para man-tener el aspecto original, pero pronto se de-terminó que era algo que no nos podemos permitir. Las nuevas ventanas son un com-puesto de PVC que durarán muchos años sin mantenimiento como madera de win-dows. Debido a la amplia labor de ladrillos alrededor de las ventanas y la dificultad de coincidencia de ladrillos y mortero se decid-ió cubrir el edificio una capa exterior que no necesitará sustituir durante algunos años. Reconozco que este es un gran cambio de la apariencia del campus pero dado el dinero que tenemos disponible en nuestros ahorros es la mejor solución. Durante el proyecto de renovación, debido a problemas de seguridad, San Vicente de Paúl, RCIA, Coro, sesiones de preparación para el matrimonio, la Legión de María, y clases de CCE, generosamente han aceptado trasladarse durante la duración del proyecto. Durante el proyecto, las personas no autorizadas no serán permitidos en el edificio. La renovación está programada para ser completada en abril de 2017. Padre Bill
