Retos del Matrimonio

Hay tiempo para reconstruir su matrimo-

nio!

La mitad de todos los matrimonios en primeras

nupcias, terminan en divorcio, no es de ex-

trañar que la sociedad haya creado algunos mitos que nos

ayuden a justificar el divorcio, y nos hacen aceptar de major

forma el mismo.

La realidad es que la tasa de divorcio para los matrimonios

de segundas nupcias es el doble que los de primer matrimo-

nio. Las parejas en matrimonios felices viven más tiempo

(sufren de menos depresión y de enfermedads del corazón),

tienen una mayor patrimonio (el divorcio drena las reservas

propias que son tan difícil de construer), y logran un major

nivel de vida.

Sus hijos son más felices, más sanos (físcia y emocional-

mente) más seguro, tienen mayor desempeño en la escuela, y

son menos propensos a tener roces con sus compañeros y la

autoridad. Los hijos de padres divorciados so más propensos

a tener matrimonios inestables.

Retrouvaille puede ayudar a eliminar el estrés de su relación,

para convertir su casa en una comunidad íntima de vida y el

amor. Para un contacto: 1-800-966-7982 o viste nuestro sitio

DID YOU KNOW? Preventing child sexual abuse is a partnership.

It requires education, training, and action from parents, other adults, organizations, and chil-

dren. As adults, we need to learn to recognize other adults who are a risk to kids – ours and the others in the commu-nity. April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, which gives us all an opportunity to learn more about what the Arch-diocese of Los Angeles is doing to prevent child sexual

abuse from happening. For more information about the VIRTUS® Child Abuse Prevention Programs for Adults and Children contact jvienna@la-archdiocese.org.

¿SABÍA USTED? Prevenir el abuso sexual infantil es una

asociación. Requiere educación, entre-namiento y acción de los padres de fa-

milia, otros adultos, organizaciones y los niños. Como adultos, necesitamos aprender a reconocer a otros adultos que son un riesgo para los niños, tanto los nuestros como los demás en la comunidad. Abril es el Mes Nacional de la Prevención del Abuso Infantil, que nos ofrece una

oportunidad para aprender más sobre lo que la Ar-quidiócesis de Los Ángeles está haciendo para prevenir que ocurra el abuso sexual infantil. Para más información sobre los Programas de Prevención del Abuso Sexual In-fantil VIRTUS®, contacte a jvienna@la-archdiocese.org.

¿SABE

USTED?

TRUE CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY

Can you imagine a world such as the one put before us in today’s scripture readings? Communities of believers everywhere would support and encourage one another and be identified as Christians by the way they love each

other. It would be a world with no tears, no death and mourning, no crying out in pain. “Behold, I make all things new,” we hear the Son of God say in the second reading from the book of Revelation (21:5). Is this world of John’s vision only imaginary? Are these faithful followers for whom Jesus prayed only a savior’s dream? Today they are put before us as a worthy

goal. How much closer can we come to this vision of a true Christian community in our lives today?

VERDADERA COMUNIDAD CRISTIANA

¿Te puedes imaginar un mundo tal como nos lo presenta

las lecturas bíblicas de hoy? Comunidades de fieles por todas partes que se apoyan y se animan unas a otras y se identifican como cristianos por el amor que se tienen unos a otros. Sería un mundo sin lágrimas, sin muerte ni luto, sin gritos de dolor. “Ahora todo lo hago nuevo”, oímos decir al Hijo de Dios en la segunda lectura del libro del Apocalipsis (21:5). Este mundo de la visión de Juan, ¿es sólo un mundo

imaginario? Y esos fieles seguidores de Jesús por los cuales él reza, ¿son un mero sueño del salvador? Hoy se presentan ante nosotros como una meta valiosa. ¿Cómo podemos acercarnos cada vez más a esta visión de una verdadera comunidad cristiana en nuestra vida de hoy?

The school does not discriminate against any applicant or employee on the basis of sex, race color, or ethnic origin, the administration of its educational policies, scholarship

As Roman Catholics, dedicated to the God-given dignity of every human being, we state clearly that there are no discrimination practices in our enrollment policy due to race, ethnic , background, social or economic status in any decision-making. Since we are a Catholic religious oriented school founded for the St. Joseph Catholic Church Parish, we give preference to members

of the St. Joseph Parish and to members of the Roman Catholic Church, but we welcome members of other creeds once our Catholic applicants have been served. While St. Joseph Elementary School does not offer a special needs program, it will attempt to make reason-able accommodations for otherwise qualified applicants. St. Joseph Elementary School cannot accept students with severe academic or behavioral problems. To insure

proper grade placement, new students entering Grade 2-8 take a religion, math and reading test based on the St. Joseph Elementary School curriculum. Prior to entrance to first grade, new students are administered a Readiness Test and Maturity Screening Test. All kindergarten applicants are administered a Maturity Screening Test.
