ADULT VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL YOUTH GROUP

When Fr. Alfaro got to the parish almost 5 years ago, our parish was able to start a Middle School Youth Group the following spring. This youth group has gone strong for the last 4 years averaging 15 to 20 young people every Wednesday evening. However, Father Alfaro is now in need of adult volunteers to keep the youth group going. He can't do it without your assistance. Pray to the Holy Spirit and ask the Lord if he is calling you to assist in such an important task for our young people. Please call the Parish Office (305) 871-5780.

Because of you we are educating future generations!

We need you! God has given us so much and God’s generosity to us, especially the gift of His Only Son, inspires us to be generous and to share with others from the bounty of God’s gifts we have received. Your generous support of the ABCD makes you an instrument of God’s mercy and peace, and you become the answer to someone’s prayer. Through the ABCD, as one faith community, we feed the hungry, cloth the poor, and care for the sick and dying. As one Church, we nourish and educate our children, assist our poor parishes and schools, and shelter the homeless. As Catholics, we defend and respect the dignity of all human life and work to eliminate prejudice, and promote justice. You make all this possible. Thank you to all who have already generously responded to this year’s ABCD. Your support strengthens the ministries that serve our Archdiocese and allow the Church to form new disciples. As Scriptures remind us, Give and it shall be given to you. If you have yet to respond to this year’s ABCD, we need you! Please join us by making a gift now- even a small gift can make a big difference. You can obtain a pledge envelope from the parish office or you can make a gift online at www.isupportabcd.org. Thank you and God bless you!

¡Le necesitamos! Dios nos ha dado mucho, y la generosidad de Dios hacia nosotros, especialmente el regalo de su Hijo único, nos inspira a ser generosos y a compartir con los demás la abundancia de los dones que hemos recibido de Él. Su generoso apoyo al ABCD lo convierte a usted en un instrumento de la misericordia y la paz de Dios, y se convierte en la respuesta a la oración de alguien. Por medio del ABCD, como una comunidad de fe, alimentamos a los hambrientos, protegemos a los pobres y cuidamos a los enfermos y moribundos. Como una sola Iglesia, nutrimos y educamos a nuestros hijos, asistimos a nuestras parroquias y escuelas pobres, y protegemos a las personas sin hogar. Como católicos, defendemos y respetamos la dignidad de toda vida humana y trabajamos para eliminar los prejuicios y promover la justicia. Usted hace que todo esto sea posible. Damos gracias a todos los que ya han respondido generosamente al ABCD de este año. Su apoyo fortalece los ministerios que sirven a nuestra Arquidiócesis y permite que la Iglesia forme nuevos discípulos. Como las Escrituras nos recuerdan, da y se te dará. Si aún tiene que responder al ABCD de este año, ¡lo necesitamos! Únase a nosotros haciendo una donación ahora; incluso un pequeño regalo puede lograr una gran diferencia. Usted puede obtener un sobre de compromiso en la oficina de la parroquia, o puede hacer una donación en línea en www.isupportabcd.org. ¡Gracias, y que Dios le bendiga!

“Rising very early before dawn, he left and went off to a deserted place, where he prayed…He told them, ‘Let us go on to the nearby villages that I may preach there also. For this purpose, have I come.’” - Mark 1:35, 3

In today’s Gospel reading we see a perfect example of stewardship. Jesus gives His time to do all that God wishes - healing the sick and preaching. But before He begins, Jesus makes time to be alone with God in prayer. It is through prayer, and spending time with God, that we build our relationship with Him and find the strength to do what He wishes us to do. Find time every day to be with God.

"Levantándose muy temprano antes del amanecer, salió y se fue a un lugar desierto, donde oró ... Les dijo: 'Vayamos a las aldeas cercanas para predicar allí también. Para eso he venido '". - MARCOS 1:35, 38 En la lectura del Evangelio de hoy, vemos un ejemplo perfecto de la corresponsabilidad. Jesús da su tiempo para hacer todo lo que Dios desea: sanar a los enfermos y predicar. Pero antes que Él comience, Jesús se toma el tiempo para estar a solas con Dios en oración. Es a través de la oración, pasando tiempo con Dios, que encontramos la fuerza para hacer lo que Él desea que hagamos. Asegúrate de encontrar tiempo todos los días para estar con Dios.

On Sunday Feb. 11th, we will be passing out a book called "Rediscover Jesus" by Matthew Kelly. This book is a series of 40 short meditations which will assist us to get reacquainted with Jesus during our Lenten journey. El domingo 11 de febrero, estaremos distribuyendo un libro llamado, "Redescubriendo a Jesús" de Matthew Kelly. Este libro contiene 40 breves meditaciones que nos ayudaran a volver a encontrar a Jesús en nuestro camino cuaresmal.

STATUE OF OUR LADY OF FATIMA COMING TO BLESSED TRINITY A few generous and faithful parishioners donated a statue of Our Lady of Fatima to our parish during the Jubilee of Fatima that took place last year. The long-awaited statue will be on display and will be blessed at the 10:30 am and 12:30 pm Masses on Sunday February 11th (World Day of Prayer for the sick and feast day of Our Lady of Lourdes). Please join us!

ESTATUA DE NUESTRA SRA. DE FATIMA El año pasado, durante el Jubileo de Fátima, unos generosos y fieles feligreses donaron una estatua de Nuestra Señora de Fátima para la parroquia. La esperada estatua ha llegado y será bendecida en las misas de 10:30 am y 12:30 pm el domingo 11 de febrero (Día Mundial de Oración por los enfermos y fiesta de Nuestra Sra. de Lourdes).
