Living God’s Word
When we find ourselves being brought to a new place in life, we often presume that the new destination will be clear before us and without turmoil. Yet crossing to the other side of anything is always unsettling. In the
end faith does not just calm our insides for the duration of the journey. Faith is the strength and
wisdom we have knowing that Christ is in our boat. Copyright © 2014, World Library Publications. All rights reserved.

Respect Life
Next weekend, June 26th - 27th, after all the
Masses, members of the Respect life Committee will
be giving out Baby Feet Magnets for your car.
The circular magnets say:
“Equal Rights for Babies in the Womb”
They are a constant reminder to our fellow drivers that unborn
babies need protection. The magnets will be given at no
charge, but a $5 donation (or anything you wish to contribute)
is suggested to help defray the cost of making them. Thanks!

Second Collection
Next week we will take up the Peter’s Pence
Collection, which is a way to support the Universal
Church and the work of the Holy See, including
helping Pope Francis with the funds to carry out his
charitable works. These works benefit our brothers
and sisters on the margins of society, including
victims of war, oppression, and disasters. Please be
generous. For more information, visit

Pastor’s Desk
Dear Parishioners, With more people being vaccinated, we look forward with hope to planning ongoing activities. We have set dates for our Parish Carnival: September 21-25, 2021. It may have some different aspects to it this year, but I hope many will come to help and support it. One thing different will be the Giant 50-50. To keep costs low, we will be asking everyone to support the 50-50 already in progress sponsored by the Filipino Apostolate. The drawing will take place in October, but if we all work together on this, the prize and the profit for the parish will both be much larger. We will not be sending raffle books this year. If you would like to reserve one or more for yourself, please contact the rectory to let us know how many you would like us to hold for you to buy or sell. Some people have been asking if Memorial Bricks in the Grotto are still available, to remember their loved ones who have died due to Covid or other causes. Please use one of the forms available at the doors of the church. Next week we will take up the Peter’s Pence Collection, which is a way to support the Universal Church and the work of the Holy See, including helping Pope Francis with the funds to carry out his charitable works. These works benefit our brothers and sisters on the margins of society, including victims of war, oppression, and disasters. Please be generous. Extra envelopes are at the doors of the church.

Reflection on Today’s Scripture Readings
In today’s Gospel, Mark says that the invitation to journey to a new and different shore comes from Jesus. He is the one who suggests, “Let us cross to the other side” (Mark 4:35). Yet that invitation comes as evening draws on, as so often happens in life. It comes amid the shadows of life where clarity of action is seldom sharp or distinct. Then to step into the boat is indeed an act of faith. Who would ever choose a crossing at such a time? Yet it was “as evening drew on” that Jesus said to his disciples, “Let us cross to the other side.” And so they go. It is at this point that they take Jesus into their boat, which is always what is expected of the disciple—that the Lord be invited on the journey, and that the journey to the other side be made together. The Jesus story ends in calm and stillness, but that is not its promise. What is assured is that faith can bring one to the other side, which is also the assurance given to Job out of the storm—that it is God who made the thick darkness and put limits on the sea, all along knowing its ability to burst forth. It is God who knows creation and is in control, it is Jesus who knows the human journey and accompanies us, and it is faith that sustains us in the midst of storms. —Rev. Joseph J. Juknialis Copyright © 2014, World Library Publications. All rights reserved.
Stewardship: Sharing our Time, Talent, and Treasure!
“The he asked them, ‘Why are you terrified? Do you not yet have faith?’” – M 4:40
Do you really trust God? Is God your first choice or last resort? Is your faith something you just do on
Sunday or do you live the Gospel message every day of the week? Many of us know about God. How many
of us have a personal rela onship with Him? Start now, open your heart to receive our Lord. Talk and listen
to Him throughout the day, in all circumstances.

Escritorio del Párroco Estimados Feligreses, Con más personas vacunadas, esperamos planificar las actividades en curso. Hemos establecido fechas para nuestro Carnaval Parroquial: 21 al 25 de septiembre de 2021. Puede que tenga algunos aspectos diferentes este año, pero espero que muchos vengan a ayudar y apoyar. Una cosa diferente será la rifa de 50-50. Para mantener los costos bajos, les pediremos a todos que apoyen a la rifa que ya está en progreso patrocinado por el Apostolado Filipino. El sorteo se llevará a cabo en octubre, pero si todos trabajamos juntos en esto, el premio y la ganancia para la parroquia serán mucho mayores. No enviaremos libros de rifas este año. Si desea reservar uno o más para usted, comuníquese con la rectoría para informarnos cuántos desea que tengamos para comprar o vender. Algunas personas han estado preguntando si los Memorial Bricks en la Gruta todavía están disponibles, para recordar a sus seres queridos que han muerto debido a Covid u otras causas. Utilice uno de los formularios disponibles por las salidas de la iglesia.
La semana que viene tomaremos la Colecta Peter’s Pence, que es una forma de apoyar a la Iglesia Universal y el trabajo de la Santa Sede, incluida la ayuda al Papa Francisco con los fondos para llevar a cabo sus obras caritativas. Estas obras benefician a nuestros hermanos y hermanas marginados por la sociedad, incluidas las víctimas de la guerra, la opresión y los desastres. Por favor sea generoso. Sobres adicionales están por las salidas de la iglesia. Para obtener más información, visite www.peterspence.va/es.html.
Mons. Richard Arnhols, Párroco
Reflexión de las Escrituras de Hoy
El Evangelio de hoy dice que la invitación de pasar a una orilla nueva y diferente la extiende Jesús. Él es quien sugiere: “Pasemos a la otra orilla” (Marcos 4:35). Sin embargo, esa invitación llega al caer la tarde, como sucede tan a menudo en la vida. Llega en medio de las sombras de la vida donde la claridad de una acción raramente es marcada o perceptible. Por tanto, entrar en la barca es decididamente un acto de fe. ¿Quién decidiría hacer una travesía en un momento así? No obstante, fue “al caer la tarde” que Jesús le dijo a sus discípulos: “Pasemos a la otra orilla”. Y en ese momento se van. Es en ese momento que ellos se llevan a Jesús en su barca, que es lo que siempre se espera de un discípulo, esto es, que el Señor sea invitado para acompañarle en la travesía y que esa travesía hacia el otro lado la hagan juntos. Esta historia sobre Jesús termina en calma y sosiego, pero eso no es lo que se promete. Lo que sí se garantiza es que la fe puede llevar a una persona a la otra orilla. Esto es también lo que se le asegura a Job desde la tormenta, esto es, que es Dios quien hizo los nubarrones y le puso límites al mar, aun sabiendo que éste podía salir precipitadamente a borbotones. Dios es quien conoce la creación y la controla; Jesús es el que conoce la travesía humana y nos acompaña, y la fe es la que nos sostiene en medio de las tormentas. —Padre Joseph J.

Administradores: ¡Compartiendo Nuestro Tiempo, Talento, Y Tesoro!
“Entonces Él les preguntó, ¿“Por qué están aterrados”? ¿Es que todavía no enen fe?” – M 4:40 ¿Realmente con a en Dios? ¿Es Dios su primera opción o su úl mo recurso? ¿Es su fe algo que solo prac ca los
Domingos o usted vive el mensaje del Evangelio cada día de la semana? Muchos de nosotros conocemos acerca de
Dios. ¿Cuántos de nosotros tenemos una relación personal con Él? Comience ahora, abra su corazón para recibir a
nuestro Señor. Hable con Él y escúchelo durante el día, en cualquier circunstancia.

A Victory & A New Challenge!
Sincere thanks to the 205 families who together have helped our parish surpass its pledge total for the 2021 Annual Appeal! The current pledge total is $108,166.00, which is over our $104,591.00 goal! This is a significant achievement so early in the year, and assures our parish of an assessment reduction for next year!
A second challenge is now offered. Our goal by June 30, an additional $20,000 in cash for a double reduction in next year’s assessments. If we are able to receive that amount in actual money before June 30th, next year’s parish assessment will be reduced doubly. We invite additional families to make gifts and donations this month! If we reach this second goal, we will not only receive the extra reduction, but will be receiving for parish use the money that comes in over goal through the end of the year.
Peter's Pence
Peter’s Pence is the name given to the financial support offered by the faithful to the Holy Father as a sign of their sharing in the concern of the Successor of Peter for the many different needs of the Universal Church and for the relief of those most in need.
The Goal of Peter’s Pence
Contributions to Peter’s Pence for the exercise of the Pope’s universal mission, are directed in two ways: in financing the many activities of service carried out by the Curia (e.g. formation of the clergy, communication, promotion of integral human development, education, justice, etc.) and in contributing to numerous works of material assistance for the most in need.
The Use of the Proceeds
The offerings of the faithful are intended to support the activities of the Holy Father for the whole Universal Church. These activities are carried out by the Holy See. The Pope, as Pastor of the universal Church, is concerned both with the needs of evangelization (spiritual, educational, justice, communication, political, charity, diplomatic activity, etc.) and with the material needs of poor dioceses, religious institutes and faithful in serious difficulties (the poor, children, the elderly, the marginalized, victims of wars and natural disasters; special aid to Bishops or Dioceses in need, Catholic education, aid to refugees and migrants, etc.).
Every service provided by the Holy See and destined for the universal Church is possible, thanks to Peter’s Pence. In fact, it guarantees the activity of the Dicasteries that assist the Pope every day in the exercise of his ministry. In order to ensure the maximum efficiency of the Curia, and the proper destination of the aid received, a process of reorganization of the Dicasteries has been launched in recent years aimed at minimizing the costs of internal services in favor of charitable and missionary activities. To find out more, visit the website of the Pontifical Mission Societies and of the Congregation for the Oriental Churches.
The contribution according to Can. 1271 CIC
"A little mercy makes the world
less cold and more just."
−Pope Francis, Angelus, March 17, 2013
The 8th grade students of our former Transfiguration
Academy graduated from various other Catholic schools recently, and came together for a final
farewell in Conlon Hall last Saturday. Many excelled above their classmates in the schools they attended, and produced a video expressing their gratitude for their years at Transfiguration and the sacrifices their
parents made to ensure their well-rounded and advanced education! We wish them well as they
move forward to high school!

Vivamos la Palabra de Dios
Cuando vamos o nos llevan a un lugar nuevo en la vida presumimos a menudo que este nuevo destino será claro y sin confusiones. Sin embargo, cruzar al otro lado de cualquier cosa es siempre inquietante. Finalmente la fe no sólo nos da una calma interior durante toda la travesía, sino que es ella la que nos da la fuerza y la sabiduría de saber que Cristo está en nuestra barca.

¡Una Victoria y un Nuevo Desafío!
¡Nuestro más sincero agradecimiento a las 205 familias que juntas han ayudado a nuestra parroquia a lograr su compromiso total para la Llamada Annual del 2021! El total de la promesa actual es de $108,166.00, que sobrepasó nuestra meta de $104,591.00. ¡Este es un logro significativo tan temprano en el año y le asegura a nuestra parroquia una reducción en los aranceles que tenemos que dar a la Arquidiócesis el próximo año! Ahora nuestro segundo desafío es el hecho de que varias familias tienen planes de pago durante el transcurso del año, nos faltan aproximadamente $21,000.00 en efectivo recibido. Si podemos recibir esa cantidad en dinero antes del 30 de junio, la contribución parroquial del próximo año se reducirá al doble. ¡Invitamos a familias adicionales a hacer donaciones este mes! Nuestro objetivo para el 30 de junio es $20,000.00 adicional en efectivo para una reducción doble en las cuotas del próximo año. Si logramos esta segunda meta, no solo recibiremos la reducción adicional, sino que también recibiremos para el uso de la parroquia el dinero que llega por encima de la meta hasta fin de año.
