Most Catholics think of St. Peter’s as the pope’s main church, but they are wrong. St. John
Lateran is the pope’s church, the cathedral of the Diocese of Rome where the Bishop of
Rome presides.
The first basilica on the site was built in the Fourth Century when Constantine donated land
he had received from the wealthy Lateran family. That structure and its successors
suffered fire, earthquake and the ravages of war, but the Lateran remained the church
where popes were consecrated until the popes returned from Avignon in the 14th Century to
find the church and the adjoining palace in ruins.
Pope Innocent X commissioned the present structure in 1646. One of Rome’s most
imposing churches, the Lateran’s towering façade is crowned with 15 colossal statues of
Christ, John the Baptist, John the Evangelist and 12 doctors of the Church. Beneath its
high altar rest the remains of the small wooden table on which tradition holds St. Peter
himself celebrated Mass.
Faith Formation
Cindy Cyman, Coordinator
On this solemnity the Word of God recalls an essential truth: The temple of stones is a
symbol of the living Church, the Christian community, which in their letters the Apostles
Peter and Paul already understood as a “spiritual edifice,” built by God with “living
stones;” namely, Christians themselves, upon the one foundation of Jesus Christ, who is
called the “cornerstone” (cf. 1 Corinthians 3:9-11, 16-17; 1 Peter 2:4-8; Ephesians 2:2022). “Brothers, you are God’s building,” St. Paul wrote, and added, “Holy is God’s temple,
which you are” (1 Corinthians 3:9c, 17). Pope Benedict XVI wrote “…today’s feast
celebrates a mystery that is always relevant: God’s desire to build a spiritual temple in the
world, a community that worships him in spirit and truth (cf. John 4:23-24). But this
observance also reminds us of the importance of the material buildings in which the
community gathers to celebrate the praises of God.” The opening prayer is “O God, whom
from living and chosen stones prepares an eternal dwelling for your majesty, increase in
your Church the spirit of grace you have bestowed, so that by new growth your faithful
people may build up the heavenly Jerusalem. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever.”

Del Parroco
La mayoría de católicos piensan que San Pedro es la iglesia principal del papa, pero ellos están
equivocados. San Juan de Letrán es la iglesia del papa, la catedral de la Diócesis de Roma
donde preside el Obispo de Roma.
Oración de la
Parroquia
Dios Amoroso,
Nosotros, las piedras
vivas de la Iglesia de
Santa Ana, les damos
cordialmente la
bienvenida a todos los
hijos de Dios
dentro de nuestra
comunidad.
Estamos
comprometidos a segur
el ejemplo de Cristo al
usar nuestro tiempo,
talento y recursos en
alcanzar a los pobres,
alimentar al hambriento
y crear un legado de fe
y esperanza para
futuras generaciones.
Juntos, como una
familia parroquial,
esperamos continuar
creciendo en la Gracia
y el Amor de Dios.
Te lo pedimos por
Cristo, nuestro Señor,
Amén.
Santa Ana,
Madre de la Santísima
Virgen María
Ruega por nosotros.
La primera basílica en el sitio fue construida en el siglo cuarto cuando Constantino donó el
terreno que él había recibido de la rica familia Letrán. La estructura y sus sucesores sufrieron
fuego, terremoto y pillajes de la guerra, pero la iglesia de Letrán permaneció siendo la iglesia
donde los papas eran consagrados hasta que los papas regresaron de Aviñón en el siglo 14 para
encontrar la iglesia y el palacio adjunto en ruinas.
El Papa Inocencio X comisionó la presente estructura en 1646. Una de las más imponentes
iglesias de Roma, la fachada de la torre de Letrán coronada con 15 colosales estatuas de
Cristo, San Juan Bautista, Juan el Evangelista y los 12 doctores de la Iglesia. A la par del altar
mayor descansa los restos de una mesa de madera pequeña en la que la tradición señala que el
mismo San Pedro celebraba misa.
En la solemnidad la Palabra de Dios recuerda la verdad esencial: El templo de piedras es el
símbolo de la Iglesia viva, la comunidad Cristiana, la cual en las cartas de los apóstoles Pedro
y Pablo ya se comprendían como “el edificio spiritual,” construido por Dios con “piedras
vivas;” llamados, a sí mismos cristianos, sobre el fundamento en Jesucristo, quien es llamado
la “piedra angular” (cf. 1 Corintios 3:9-11, 16-17; 1 Pedro 2:4-8; Efesios 2:20-22).
“Hermanos, ustedes son el edificio de Dios,” San Pablo escribió, “Santo es el templo de Dios,
que son ustedes” (1 Corintios 3:9c, 17). El Papa Benedicto XVI escribió “…la fiesta de hoy
celebra el misterio que siempre es relevante: el deseo de Dios de construir un templo spiritual
en el mundo, una comunidad que lo alabe en espíritu y verdad (cf. Juan 4:23-24). Pero esta
observancia también nos recuerda de la importancia de las edificaciones materiales en las
cuales la comunidad se reúne para celebrar las alabanzas de Dios.” La oración de apertura es
“Oh Dios, quien de vivas y escogidas piedras preparaste una morada eterna para tu majestad,
incrementaste en tu Iglesia el espíritu de gracia que nos has concedido, para que con un nuevo
crecimiento tu pueblo fiel pueda construir la santa Jerusalén. A través de nuestro Señor
Jesucristo, tu Hijo, quien vive y reina contigo en la unidad del Espíritu Santo, un Dios por los
siglos de los siglos.”

UN IMPORTANTE MENSAJE DEL OBISPO ROBERT LYNCH
La Diócesis de St. Petersburg ha sido informada por el Obispo de Thunder Bay, Ontario,
que el Rev. Peter Groulx, un sacerdote rerado de la diócesis, ha sido acusado con
abuso sexual de un menor ocurrido entre el 2004 – 2005 en Canadá. Mientras se es
inocente hasta haber sido hallado culpable, el Padre Groulx ha estado en esta diócesis
durante el invierno desde el 2008 y ha servido en nuestra parroquia.
El Obispo Robert Lynch hace un llamado a cualquier persona que haya sido damniﬁcada
por una persona que sirva en un ministerio para la Diócesis de St. Petersburg que se
ponga en contacto con el servicio que pone en cumplimiento la ley o al Ministerio Diocesano
de Asistencia a Vícmas al 1-866-407-4505.
