Michael Estrada & Nickie Velez & Family Kenneth Paul Morgan Amos Sanchez & Kristina Alvarez & Family Ramiro & Marcella Torres & Family Nelida & Gilberto Velez & Family Welcome God’s Children ~October ~ Aiden Alexander Cortez, Elijah Iser Lara 2 Dear parish family, Feast of Dedication of the Lateran Basilica WE had fantastic bazaar last week! We were so blessed with very nice weather, but most of all blessed with your love and support. We had a good turnout and we had some fun. Thank you all for coming out last Sunday to participate and support our parish family bazaar. It was a great success! At the point of this writing, we don’t have yet the final figure but I got very good news that we did well. (Please refer to initial reports in the other page of this bulletin). Thank you so much all volunteers, parish workers, so many of them to name which made the bazaar possible. Our deep gratitude to the big donors, those who pitched in to cover the raffle prizes; and several other monetary gift donors, their donations as always made the difference for the Bazaar and thanks to the booth sponsors. Our special thanks to the Bazaar Chairman, Cliff Westbeld, Al-Pena (co chair) and Committee, specially Peggy & Cheryl for running the Bazaar efficiently and with great success. Great job! CONGRATULATIONS to all raffle winners (see in other page). And Congratulation to the BIGGEST WINNER, St. Mary’s parish church – we had family outdoor fun, and the church got its much needed fund. So let’s congratulate ourselves. This Sunday is the feast of the Dedication of St. John Lateran Basilica in Rome. Of all church’s feast days this one stands unique: we are neither honoring a particular event in the life of Jesus nor a particular saint, but a building, a church. And surely we can ask what has this to do with us? As a quick background, the church of St. John Lateran in Rome was the first church used by the Christians for public worship after the emperor Constantine made Christianity legal thereby ending the years of persecution. Hence, it is the Mother Church of the Catholic Church. It is the symbol of the unity of all Catholics spread across the globe. And as we give honor to the “mother church,” we are asked to reflect the manner we honor our own Parish Church. Our love for the church is concretely manifested on how we care for the parish church where we belong. Love demands our attention and care for its needs and support for its ministries. God don’t pay bills or pay salaries of church employees, we do. God don’t sweep the thrash or vacuum the dirt in His house, we do. In other words, we are the hands, the feet, and mouth of the Lord. What we have and what we can do are all God’s gifts; our talents and our financial blessings are his gifts not to be hoarded but to share. In simple terms therefore, we show our concrete love for the church by our weekly love offering. In that way we make our church stable to function in all its ministries and maintain its upkeep. For the church is not just a building it is also us, the people - we are the church. Actually when we say we support the church we actually also say we support ourselves. We did big last week - at the bazaar! Blessings to you and have a good week! Fr. Tony Querida familia parroquial, Fiesta dedicada a la Basilica de San Juan de Letran Tuvimos un fantantico bazar la semana pasada! Estuvimos bendecidos con un clima muy agradable, pero la bendicion mas grande fue nuestro amor y apoyo. Tuvimos una buena participacion y nos divertimos. Gracias a todos por venir el domingo pasado a participar y apoyar el bazar familiar de nuestra parroquia. Fue un exito. En el momento de escribir este articulo no tengo la cifra final pero la buena noticia es que nos fue muy bien (Por favor informarse del reporte inicial en la otra pagina del boletin) Muchas gracias a todos los voluntarios, los trabajadores de la parroquia, muchos para nombrarlos, quienes hicieron que el bazar fuera posible. Nuestra mas profunda gratitud a los grandes donantes que patrocinaron los premios de la rifa; y a todos los otros donadores monetarios, sus donaciones siempre hacen la diferencia en nuestro bazar, y gracias a los patrocinadores de los puestos.Nuestro especial agradecimiento al Presidente del Bazar, Cliff Westbeld, Al Pena (vicepresidente) y al comite, specialmente a Peggy y Cheryl por organizar el evento eficientemente y con gran exito. Fantastico trabajo!!! CONGRATULATIONS a todos los ganadores de la rifa (ver nombres en la otra pagina). Y felicitaciones al gran ganador, la parroquia de Sta. Maria – tuvimos una diversion al aire libre y la parroquia obtuvo los fondos que necesitamos. Asi que a felicitarnos. Este domingo es la fiesta dedicada a la Basilica de San Juan de Letran en Roma. De todas las festividades de la iglesia esta es unica: no estamos honrando un evento en la vida de Jesus, ni un santo en particular, sino un edifiio, una iglesia. Seguramente nos preguntamos que tiene esto que ver con nosotros? Como una referencia breve, la iglesia de San Juan de Letran en Roma fue la primera iglesia usada por los cristianos para adoracion despues que el emperador Constantino legalizo el cristianismo terminando asi los aňos de persecucion. Desde entonces es la Matriz de la Iglesia Catolica. Es el simbolo de la unidad de todos los catolicos extendidos por todo el mundo. Dandole honor a nuestra “madre iglesia”se nos pide reflexionar en como honrar a nuestra iglesia parroquial. Nuestro amor por la iglesia se manifiesta concretamente en como cuidamos de nuestra parroquia a la que pertenecemos. El amor demanda nuestra atencion y cuidados de sus necesidades y sus ministerios. Dios no paga las cuentas o los salarios de los empleados de la parroquia, nosotros lo hacemos. Dios no recoge la basura o aspira el polvo en Su casa, nosotros lo hacemos. En otras palabras, somos las manos, los pies y la boca del Seňor. Lo que tenemos y todo lo que podemos hacer son regalos de Dios; nuestros talentos y nuestras bendiciones financieras son regalos no para ser acumulados sino para compartir. En terminos simples, mostremos nuestro amor profundo por la iglesia en nuestras ofrendas semanales. De ese modo nuestra iglesia se mantiene estable para funcionar en todos sus ministerios y sus necesidades. La iglesia no es es solo un edificio somos nosotros tambien, la gente – somos la iglesia. Actualmente cuando decimos que apoyamos la iglesia quiere decir que nosotros nos estamos apoyando. Hicimos muy bien la semana pasada – en el bazar! Bendiciones a ustedes y que tengan una buena semana! Padre Tony ST.
