LOOKING IN THE RIGHT PLACES “Appearances can be deceiving,” as the saying goes. As we celebrate the epiphania, the “appearing” of the eternal Word of God on earth, this is still true. What rapturous foresight must have filled Isaiah as he wrote the words we hear today. How, for four hundred years, they must have filled the hearts of the people of Israel with hope for the day when God’s glory would shine on them. How deceived some must have felt when the glory of God came to them in the lowliest and humblest of human lives. We have many expectations about how the divine presence will appear among us. But we can also set ourselves up, through these expectations, to miss the divine glory when it truly appears. We get caught up in looking for the star, forgetting that the star is not the divine sign, the babe is. It may take a persistent journey for us to come upon the true appearance of God’s glory in our lives: Jesus Christ. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

BUSCAR EN EL LUGAR CORRECTO “Las apariencias engañan” dice el refrán. Al celebrar la epifanía, la manifestación del Verbo de Dios eterno en la tierra, el refrán sigue siendo cierto. ¡Qué sublime premonición debe haber sentido Isaías al escribir las palabras que hoy escuchamos! Por cuatrocientos años, cómo habrán llenado los corazones del pueblo de Israel con esperanzas de que llegaría el día en que la gloria de Dios se derramaría sobre ellos. ¡Qué desilusionados deben haberse sentido algunos cuando la gloria de Dios les llegó en una vida humana de las más bajas y humildes! Tenemos muchas expectativas de cómo la presencia divina va a manifestarse entre nosotros. Pero también podemos exponernos, por culpa de esas expectativas, a perder de vista la gloria divina cuando se nos aparece de verdad. Nos entretenemos buscando la estrella, y nos olvidamos que la estrella no es la señal divina, sino el bebé. Puede que tengamos que persistir en el camino antes de llegar a encontrarnos con la apariencia real de la gloria de Dios en nuestra vida: Jesucristo. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Sacred Heart Parish Financial Report The column of numbers on the left shows what we budgeted last fiscal year. The middle column shows what we actually made and spent last year; and the column on the right shows what we actually made and spent the year before that. What you can see is that even though our weekly plate collection was up from what was budgeted, it is still down from the 2013-14 totals. We have managed to keep our expenses down while continuing to make improvements around our parish campus. We know that none of this happens without the generosity of parishioners who give electronically, who use envelopes and who give intentionally each week to support our church and to offer thanksgiving to God for his many blessings. Thanks to all of you good stewards who share your time, talent, and treasure to support Sacred Heart. Our fiscal year runs from September 1 to August 31. If you have any questions regarding this report, please contact Fr. Ignacio, Dcn. David or Arlala in the Parish Office (424-1959 or [email protected]) ***Tuition assistance to the school was not included in the general operating budget for the 2014-15 fiscal year because the entire amount collected in the special collection is given directly to them (as are the special collections the diocese request we take up monthly). Also, this report does not include the income and expenses from our buildings and grounds collections and AMA rebate, which are used toward special projects. For info on these $ amounts, please contact Dcn. David or Arlala in the parish office.

La columna de números de la izquierda muestra lo que presupuestamos en el último año fiscal. La columna central muestra lo que en realidad hicimos y pasamos el año pasado; y la columna de la derecha muestra lo que realmente hicimos y pasamos el año anterior. Lo que se ve es que a pesar de que la colección principal semanal subió a lo presupuestado, es todavía por debajo de los totales del año 2013-14. Hemos logrado mantener nuestros gastos bajos mientras continuamos haciendo mejoras en toda la Parroquia y sus alrededores. Sabemos que nada de esto sucede sin la generosidad de los feligreses que dan de forma electrónica, que utilizan los sobres y que dan intencionadamente cada semana para apoyar a nuestra Iglesia y ofrecer acción de gracias a Dios por sus muchas bendiciones. Gracias a todos ustedes buenos administradores que comparten su tiempo, talento y dinero para apoyar al Sagrado Corazón. Nuestro año fiscal corre del 1 de septiembre al 31 de ago-sto. Si tiene alguna pregunta relacionada con este informe, por favor contacte al Padre Ignacio, Diacono David o Arlala en la Oficina Parroquial (424-1959 or [email protected]). ***La ayuda de matrícula a l a escuela no se incluyó en el presupuesto operativo general para el año fiscal 2014-15, porque se les da toda la cantidad colectada directamente (como son las segundadas colectas a petición de la Diócesis). Además, este informe no incluye los ingresos y gastos de las colectas para el mantenimiento de nuestra Parroquia ni lo que se regresa de la colecta de la Apelación Annual de Ministerios (AMA), la cual se utilizan en proyectos especiales. Para información sobre estos montos de dinero, por favor póngase en contacto con el Diacono David o Arlala en la oficina parroquial.
