STEWARDSHIP REFLECTION FOR THE WEEK
OF NOVEMBER 2/REFLEXIÓN DE LA CORRESPONSABILIDAD PARA LA SEMANA DEL 2 DE
All Souls Day, November 2, is a day when we pray for deceased souls. These prayers
may be general in nature or they may involve specific members of our families and
our faith communities, including perhaps physically visiting the graves of our
family members.
On All Saints Day, we acknowledge the presence of those who have departed this
life. Today, we recognize and honor them to an even greater extent. To practice
stewardship completely we need to be aware of our personal families and our faith
families. Just prior to today’s Gospel reading, Jesus reminds us that “I am the bread
of life.” Seven times in Holy Scripture, Jesus states, “I am…” followed by various
statements which allow us to grasp more fully what He is and what He has done for us.
Bread is considered one of those essentials “for life.” Jesus is reminding us that He
is essential for life, for eternal life. Jesus is not speaking of the physical life on this
earth, but about “eternal life.” It is that hope which allows us to trust in Him by living
stewardship. This past June at Mass, Pope Francis said, “He Himself is the living
bread that gives life to the world.” Let us embrace that hope.

Día de los Fieles Difuntos, 2 de noviembre, es un día en que oramos por las almas
difuntas. Estas oraciones pueden ser en general o pueden involucrar a miembros
específicos de nuestras familias y nuestras comunidades de fe, incluyendo quizás
visitar físicamente las tumbas de los miembros de nuestra familia.
En el Día de Todos los Santos, reconocemos la presencia de los que han partido de
esta vida. Hoy, los reconocemos y los honramos a un grado mas extenso. Para practicar la corresponsabilidad completamente tenemos que ser conscientes de nuestras
familias personales y nuestras familias religiosas. Justo antes de la lectura del Evangelio de hoy, Jesús nos recuerda que “Yo soy el pan de vida.” Siete veces en la Sagrada
Escritura, Jesús dice: “Yo soy ...”, seguido de varias declaraciones que nos permiten
captar más plenamente lo que Él es y lo que Él ha hecho por nosotros.
El pan es considerado uno de los elementos esenciales “para la vida “. Jesús nos recuerda que Él es esencial para la vida, para la vida eterna. Jesús no está hablando de
la vida física en esta tierra, sino de la “vida eterna.” Es la esperanza que nos permite
confiar en Él a través de vivir la corresponsabilidad. Este pasado mes de junio en la
Misa, el Papa Francisco dijo: “Él es el pan vivo que da la vida al mundo.” Abracemos
esa esperanza. Lea más en www.thecatholicsteward.com

Dear Parishioners and Friends of Our Lady of Fatima,/
Queridos parroquianos y amigos de Nuestra Señora de Fátima,
Every October we count the number of people coming to Mass. For the past several years we have seen
growth at most of our masses, but especially at the 1pm Spanish Mass. In fact they are near capacity.
This is wonderful news.
In my short time here I have also listened to many confessions in Spanish. Some of them express the
sin of missing Mass on Sunday. When I inquire why, one of the reasons is they have to work on the
weekends. I had heard this from another priest in the area as well, so I brought this to the Hispanic
Committee. They lamented that this is true. There is only one Mass offered to them here, which forces
this difficult choice.
Looking at the schedules of the other local churches there is a Spanish Mass nearby on Saturday evening, but none on Sunday evening. I discussed with the Committee the possibility of having a Spanish
Mass on Sunday after the 5:3pm Mass, which they thought would be a great idea and very helpful.
We would like to have this new Mass at 7pm. To allow us enough time to set-up in between Masses it
would be helpful to start the English Mass at 5:00 or 5:15 PM.
I am asking for input from those who attend the Sunday 5:30pm Mass to let me know if there is a
strong preference either way – 5pm or 5:15pm. You can email me at [email protected] or talk to me
after Mass.
God bless you all!
Fr. Jim
Cada mes de octubre contamos el número de personas que vienen a Misa. Durante los últimos años hemos visto un crecimiento en la mayor
parte de nuestras Misas, pero especialmente en la Misa en Español de la 1:00pm. De hecho, están cerca de su capacidad. Esta es una noticia maravillosa.
En mi poco tiempo aquí también he escuchado muchas confesiones en español. Algunos de ellos expresan el pecado de faltar a Misa el domingo.
Cuando pregunto por qué, una de las razones es que tienen que trabajar los fines de semana. Yo había escuchado esto de otro sacerdote en la
zona, así que se lo comunique al Comité Hispano. Se lamentaban de que esto era cierto. Sólo se ofrece una Misa en Español aquí, lo que obliga a
esta difícil elección.
En cuanto a los horarios de las otras iglesias locales hay una Misa cercas en español por las tardes los sábado, pero ninguna en la tarde del domingo. Discutí con el Comité la posibilidad de tener una Misa en español los domingos después de la Misa de 5:30pm, el cual pensaron que sería
una gran idea y muy servicial. Nos gustaría contar con esta nueva Misa a las 7:00pm. Para tener tiempo suficiente para preparar todo entre medio
de las Misas sería útil empezar la Misa de Inglés a las 5:00pm o 5:15pm.
Estoy pidiendo aportaciones de los que asisten a la Misa dominical de las 5:30pm para que me hagan saber si hay una fuerte preferencia entre
estos dos horarios - 5:00 o 5:15.pm. Puede enviar un email a [email protected] o hablar conmigo después de la Misa.
Dios los Bendiga a todos!

During the month of November, we remember in our prayers those
who have passed away during the past twelve months. A scroll listing
the names of our parish members will be located in the sanctuary
near the ambo. A novena will be offered for all souls. To include the
name of a loved, an offering envelope may be found at the church
entrances and may be placed in the offertory basket or dropped off at
the parish office.
Durante el mes de noviembre, recordamos en nuestras oraciones a
todos aquellos que fallecieron durante los pasados doce meses. Un
lista de nombre de todos los parroquianos que fallecieron en ese
tiempo está localizada en el altar cerca del ambón. Una novena será
ofrecida por todos los santos difuntos, si desea incluir el nombre
de un ser querido puede tomar un sobre de fieles difuntos que se
encuentran en las entradas de la iglesia, poner los nombres de sus
difuntos y ponerlo en la canasta de la colecta o traerlo a la oficina
parroquial.
Liturgy of the Word for Children
This program takes place during the 9am Mass. Children in grades K
through 4 are sent from the main assembly to a nearby space where
they celebrate the Liturgy of the Word in a simplified, yet equivalent
format. Children return to the church at the offertory. The parish
would like to expand this ministry to include the 11am Sunday Mass
beginning the first Sunday of Advent, November 30. Adult leaders
and teen assistants are needed. Leaders should have a love of the
Liturgy and be able to communicate effectively with young children.
Volunteers serve on a rotating basis every 4-6 weeks. Complete
training is provided. Please contact Rosa Rama at 492-4101 or

OLF PARISH SCHOOL NEWS
Community Building
The importance of San Clemente community building has been proudly
evident this week at Our Lady of Fatima Parish School. OLF has been
a huge supporter of Family Assistance Ministries (FAM) for fifteen
years. Weekly, on FAM Fridays, the students donate multiple needed
items to FAM which allows them to then wear their school spirit shirt
for the day instead of their uniform shirt. This year we added to this
spirit opportunity by allowing the students to also wear jeans with
their spirit but must pay $1 to do so. These proceeds also go to FAM.
Also, OLF students participated in the annual San Clemente sponsored
Red Ribbon Week activities that included marching in the parade
down Avenida Del Mar and the all-classroom Door Decorating
Contest. We are very proud of the fact that OLF has shone its spirit
and bright colors by being awarded the winners of the Door
Decorating Contest for the third year in a row! Go Falcons!
OLF School Vision
Our Lady of Fatima Parish School is a dynamic 21st Century Learning
Community where Catholic faith, global collaboration and sustained
innovation produce excellence in education.
