Parroquia del Sagrado Corazón
Vigésimo Octavo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
Octubre 12, 2014
Misión de la Parroquia del Sagrado Corazón
Nosotros, El pueblo de Dios en la parroquia del Sagrado Corazón, estamos intentando constantemente hacernos
una comunidad de fe, que creyendo en Jesús, proclamamos el Reino de Dios y compartimos el misterio de la fe
adorando al Padre, permitiendo a todos los miembros un crecimiento en su relación interpersonal a través del
Hijo y siendo testigo de nuestros dones a través del servicio activo a otros en el Espíritu.

Mensaje del Padre Hilario
persona adecuadas; especialmente asegúrense que sean
Lo que arriesgamos
profesionales en el área en la que ustedes necesitan
ayuda.
Nadie tiene la formula mágica para resolver los
problemas que acarrean las millonarias migraciones
modernas. Sin duda, cada caso habrá que estudiarlo
aparte. Pero todos sabemos, desde nuestra fe, que el
mundo en que vivimos debe ser trasformado. La
familia hispana tiene una misión muy importante ante
el problema de la inmigración, no solo porque este le
afecta indirectamente a ella, sino también a miles de
hermanos y hermanas de otras nacionalidades y etnias.
Indudablemente, el compromiso con la justicia, el
evitar el crimen y la violencia, la búsqueda te trabajo
digno y justo, debe ser primordial para la familia
hispana católica de hoy.
El martes, 20 de Junio de 2006, el Arzobispo de Los
Ángeles, el Cardenal Roger Mahony, señalo que el
actual sistema de inmigración es "moralmente
inaceptable". Hay una cierta hipocresía de parte del
Estado, que paga bajos salarios a los inmigrantes, pero
si acepta sus impuestos, y para colmo de males ni les
ofrece protección. El Cardenal señalo que la iglesia
entiende que recibió un mandato de Jesús de recibir al
extranjero, alimentar al hambriento, vestir al desnudo,
dar de beber al sediento, etc. La iglesia recuerda la
parábola del Buen Samaritano, que con su amor dio
ayuda al desvalido.
Las familias inmigrantes que sufren las consecuencias
de vivir sin papeles en los Estado Unidos deben sentir
la protección y el cuidado de la iglesia. Nuestros
Obispos han asumido un papel profético en defensa de
la causa inmigrante. Cada familia debe encontrar
orientación profesional para enfrentar su situación.
Algunas diócesis prestan ayuda legal a través de las
oficinas de Caridades Católicas, otras recomiendan la
asistencia de organizaciones civiles serias para
consejería legal. Es muy importante cuidar este aspecto
para evitar el abuso de personas sin escrúpulos.
Por otra parte las familias inmigrantes enfrentan
muchas situaciones especiales que pueden necesitar
otras formas de asistencia y ayuda profesional: Los
problemas escolares de los hijos, las dificultades de
integración en los barrios, aprender otro idioma en la
edad adulta, etc. Estas y otras situaciones requieren
asesoria. No tengan miedo de buscar ayuda
Información Sacramental

Thank you to all parishioners who responded to the

Blessed Mother did and become a spiritual parent to
God's pre-born baby who is in danger of abortion. We
encourage you to give your baby a name. This baby
will be known only to you and God. Along with the
spiritual adoption prayer, we encourage you to pray a
Hail Mary for your spiritually adopted baby's parents
each day. If you would like to receive monthly emails
updating you on your baby's miraculous development
in the womb or if you need additional prayer cards,

Denise

We pray all will respect the sanctity of life from

Fellow Parishioners!
I hope that God’s love is abundantly clear in your life
right now. In the week of Sept. 29, His love has indeed
been abundant in our school. I
especially saw that in the overwhelming
generosity of our 80 players in the
Annual Sacred Heart Golf Outing. Just
from their own pockets, these men and
women, some current or past parents,
some parishioners, some friends of the school,
contributed at least $15,000.00. With numerous
corporate sponsorships as well, this event raised a
much higher total for tuition assistance for our
families. This generosity is a rare thing in our world,
and I was humbled to witness it. God is good! I saw
God’s love in another powerful way when a group of
young ladies in our middle school came to the office to
sign up for Words of Wisdom, which entails reading
inspirational quotes to our entire school on morning
announcements. These girls were particularly excited
to sign up around the Christmas season, and we
spontaneously burst into “Rudolf the Red-Nosed
Reindeer.” There is such joy in this building and that
moment was an incredible example of it.
On a personal note, by the time you read this, our son
will have been baptized in the parish during the
weekend of Oct. 4th. I continue to be amazed at how
many ways I find this place to be our spiritual home,
and now that becomes officially the case for our son as
well. God is so good to give my family this, and I am
grateful for the chance to give this back to our Sacred
Heart community. Thank you all for your prayers and
support.
May God bless you,
