Your parish staff welcomes the opportunity to serve you. A priest will always be available for emergency sick calls. Many requests for service and information can be met during the daytime when the office is fully staffed. We suggest making appointments with the priest, deacon or other member of the parish staff since they might be engaged in other pastoral activities.

Wedding Ministry The celebration of weddings is a very important ministry here. The beauty of the church attracts many who wish to celebrate the beginning of their married lives. A wedding ministry would: Help with rehearsals and planning Welcome couples and families on the day of wedding Prepare our church for the celebrations Help with Eucharistic ministry at nuptial Masses

Ministry Report I am happy to report that since I began posting some ministry needs there has been a won-derful response. We now have quite a group of Basilica docents, people who will give tours and guide the visitors to our wonderful and historic church. We also now have a good group of ministers of consolation, who along with Sister Barbara will help families prepare funeral masses and also act as liturgical ministers on the day of the funeral itself. I am still hoping to establish a Wedding Ministry. This is a slow time for weddings at SHJM but the spring and summer soon will be here and I hope by then to have this minis-try established. You can read a description below and be in touch if you are interested. pastor@shjmbasilica.org

Keeping Our History As we celebrate the first year of the dedication of SHJM as a basilica I invite everyone to take

a trip into their attics and photo albums! We would like to compile a history of our parish

through stories, pictures, news clippings, announcements, and even video. If you have and

memorable images or reminders from our history please share them with us. You may dedicate

them to our archive or simply have us copy and return the item to you. Who knows! Maybe

you have a old movie clip that will remind us all of part of SHJM history. For information

contact Fr. Mike or Gina Arresta at the rectory.

In Celebration of the Year of Faith our parish welcomes parishioner George Sim Johnston as part of our Adult Faith Formation Series. Date: November 26 7-8 PM in the Basilica

The Catholic Church at the Dawn of the New Millennium

There have been three great teaching events for Catholics during the past fifty

years. The Second Vatican Council and the pontificates of John Paul II and

Benedict XVI. Vatican II was an unusual council, since unlike the previous

twenty ecumenical gatherings going back to Nicaea in 325 A.D., it was

summoned when there was no apparent crisis in the Church. Everything

“seemed” fine. And yet Vatican II was a necessary response to modernity,

and in its aftermath we’ve been blessed with two great teaching pontificates

back-to-back. The Catholic Church now proposes a highly attractive

Christian humanism that is not yet much understood either by Catholics or the

larger world. We’ll look at the reasons why Pope John XXIII called the

council and how the two most recent popes – both extraordinary thinkers – have positioned the Church

for the future.

THANKS One act of thanksgiving when things go wrong with us is worth one thousand thank-yous when things are agreeable to our inclination. —St. John of Ávila

KID’S PAGE NOVEMBER 18, 2012

El Señor Vendrá con su Justicia - El tiempo se mueve con rapidez ante nuestros ojos. Las Sagradas Escrituras de hoy nos indican el final de los tiempos cuando el Señor vendrá con su justicia para eliminar la injusticia y la desigualdad entre todos los seres humanos. Aunque muchos quieran reconocer esa segunda venida de Jesús en los desastres naturales que se han presenciado en los últimos tiempos, nosotros —como Iglesia— necesitamos reconocer su presencia en la transformación de nuestros corazones y el corazón de los que le buscan. Lo importante no es lo que sucede "allá afuera" en la naturaleza o en la sociedad, sino qué hemos contribuido nosotros para que suceda o no suceda. Algunos creen que los católicos somos mediocres. Los católicos no somos mediocres, pero a veces nos "dormimos en nuestros laureles". By Juan J. Sosa, Pbro., from Liturgia y Canción 2012 © 2011, OCP. All rights reserved

¿Cuánto tiempo? - La distancia entre la primera venida de Jesús y el final de los tiempos se desconoce. Para los que partieron antes que nosotros es sólo un momento; pero los que vivimos debemos esperar el cumplimiento de la obra que Jesús comenzó en la cruz. El plan de Dios está trabajando y sigue desarrollándose. Cuando llegue el momento, el plan se cumplirá. Cuando sus enemigos le sean colocados como tarima de sus pies, Jesús aparecerá como que se fue: de un modo impresionante. Estamos preparándonos para cuando Él vuelva con todo su poder, gloria y majestad. ¡Estén despiertos! Texto: Philip J. Sandstrom, STD © 2000, OCP. Derechos reservados.

Una Tensión que se Llama Esperanza - El Evangelio recoge una preocupación que había en los cristianos, cuando Cristo ya padeció y resucitó y el anuncio de un Reino lo sentían tan cercano, que para muchos constituía una tentación: esperarlo ya próximo. Pero Cristo les había dicho que ni el Hijo sabía la hora ni el momento. Y fue trabajo de los pastores de los primeros años del cristianismo decir que esa cercanía era para mantener en los cristianos, una tensión. Esta es la fe cristiana. Una tensión que se llama esperanza. Esperar al Cristo que ha prometido que volverá. En nuestra misa lo estamos repitiendo: "Ven, Señor Jesús". El pueblo cristiano camina animado por una esperanza hacia un reino de Dios… Predicar el Reino de Dios, el Reino de Cristo … crea, naturalmente, en el corazón del hombre una virtud que se llama la esperanza. Virtud teológica que une al hombre con Dios porque espera cosas que por su propia naturaleza no las puede adquirir y se basa en la promesa de Dios. Tomado de la Homilía de Mons. Oscar Romero, 18 de noviembre de 1979
