Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe

December 12

The Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe will be celebrated on Monday,

December 11th, starting with the Novena at 7:00pm, and followed by the Mass in her honor, which will be musically accompanied by Mariachis .

continue the celebration in the School Hall.

All are invited.

My dear Parishioners,

On this last day of the liturgical year as we celebrate the Feast of

Christ the King of the Universe, it makes sense that, following the

lead of United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, we dedicate

today as a Day of Prayer for Persecuted Christians. Among the

most deserving of our prayers are our sisters and brothers in the

faith who are suffering—and many among them dying — for the

faith. Christ, King of the Universe, is also the Good Shepherd who

reaches out to rescue those members of his flock who are injured

by persecution, torture and abuse. While his Kingdom is not of

this world, as he reminded Pilate, it is in this world in the persons

who acknowledge him as their Lord and Savior.

It is estimated that, throughout the world, 200 million Christians

are being persecuted right now, and 450 are killed for their faith

every day. The Middle East, portions of North and Central Africa,

and the Far East are the main areas of the world where so much of

this is going on. But there are other places as well.

In today’s Gospel, Jesus forcefully reminds us of our responsibili-

ties toward our neighbor, with special emphasis on those who are

most easily forgotten or ignored. We must aid them surely by

prayer but also by action—through donations through Catholic

Relief Society but also by reminding our federal government to

work more strenuously for peace and justice in the lands where

persecutions of Christians flourish and to widen the way for refu-

gees from such persecutions to be welcomed into our own country.

If you want to learn more about the persecution of our fellow

Christians today, go to: www.usccb.org/middle-east-christians or
