REJOICE

Isaiah proclaims truly good news to us! God’s coming brings not sadness, guilt, fear, wrath, or condemnation. No, God’s coming is a source of comfort and joy. Saying it once is not enough, for today’s readings are full of joy. Mary’s Magnificat substitutes for our psalm today, and our second reading encourages us to rejoice, to give thanks and praise. This is the root meaning of the Greek word for eucharist. We are urged to rejoice and give thanks, because the coming of the Lord brings joy, healing, liberty, release, vindication. It makes the very earth spring up with new life! Good tidings!

¡ALÉGRATE!

¡Isaías realmente nos proclama una buena nueva! La venida del Señor no trae tristeza, culpa, miedo, ira ni condena. No, la venida del Señor es fuente de júbilo y consuelo. No basta con decirlo una vez, las lecturas de hoy están llenas de júbilo. El Magníficat de María reemplaza a nuestro salmo hoy y nuestra segunda lectura nos anima a alegrarnos, dar gracia y rendir alabanza. Éste es el significado principal de la palabra griega para eucaristía. Se nos insta a alegrarnos y dar gracias, porque la venida del Señor trae júbilo, curación, libertad, perdón y vindicación. ¡Hace que la tierra eche brotes de vida nueva! ¡Buenas noticias!

A WORD FROM FR. RAY

UNA PALABRA DEL PADRE. RAY We give great thanks to God for this most holy

season and for the wonderful Spirit of Christmas that has come to warm our hearts and bring families and loved ones together again this year. I am so blessed as your administrator and I am so humbled by your continued support of me and our staff.

I would like to thank all of you for your most generous support of the parish finances, ministries, fundraising opportunities, and those special anonymous benefactors that have been such a huge contribution in our efforts to pay our bills and hopefully soon pay down our debts to the Diocese. We have a ways to go before we are solvent, so please continue to make your weekly contributions and turn in your pledges for CSA 2017.

Thank you again for your Christmas participation and most of all for helping us make our Christmas Liturgies an inspiration. I would especially like to thank our Liturgy Committee under the leadership of Ellen Lerum and our music director Kenny Lerum for their time commitment to Christ the King in making our Liturgies reflect this most Holy Season by embellishing our worship to God and celebrating the birth of His Son. To all the endless musicians, coordinators, Extraordinary Eucharistic Ministers, our helpful and gracious greeters, our tech volunteers at each Mass, and for our wonderful ministry of those that proclaim the Word of God …. Thank You.

Please be reminded that that the Vigil Masses for Christmas DO NOT count as the Sunday Mass Obligation. We are required to attend the Sunday Masses either on Saturday the 23rd of December at 4:00 pm and or Sunday Morning, the 24th 7:30 am, 9:30 or 11:30 am (Spanish Mass). THERE WILL BE NO 3:30 pm MASS ON SUNDAY DECEMBER 24TH, as the 4:00 pm Mass on Sunday is the start of the Christmas Vigil Masses and those Masses DO NOT meet the requirement for the Sunday Mass Obligation. For many, this means attending Mass twice on December 24th, as the Sunday Mass Obligation ends with the 11:30 am Spanish Mass.

It's recommended to attend the Saturday 4:00 pm Mass on the 23rd of December to meet the Sunday obligation, and perhaps attend a Christmas Day Mass on December 25th, thus avoiding the obligation of attending two Masses on the same day in order to meet the Sunday Mass and Christmas Mass obligations. This overlapping happens every 7 cycles of the Liturgical Calendar. Thank you for your cooperation and diligence in attending these Masses.

May your Christmas be filled with Joy of this Holy Season

Father Ray

Le damos Gracias a Dios por esta temporada sagrada y por el maravilloso Espíritu de Navidad que ha llegado a calentar nuestros corazones y unir a familias y seres queridos nuevamente este año. Me siento bendecido por ser su administrador y me siento tan honrado por su continuo apoyo a mí y a nuestro personal.

Quiero agradecerles a todos por su apoyo más generoso a las finanzas de la parroquia, a los ministerios, a las oportunidades de recaudación de fondos y a aquellos benefactores especiales anónimos que han sido de una gran contribución en nuestros esfuerzos por pagar nuestras cuentas y esperamos pagar nuestras deudas pronto a la Diócesis. Tenemos mucho camino por recorrer antes de estar solventes, así que continúen haciendo sus contribuciones semanales y entreguen sus promesas para CSA 2017.

Gracias de nuevo por su participación en esta Navidad y sobre todo, por ayudarnos a hacer nuestras Liturgias de Navidad una inspiración. Quisiera agradecer especialmente a nuestro Comité de Liturgia bajo el liderazgo de Ellen Lerum y nuestro director de música Kenny Lerum por su tiempo y su compromiso con Christ the King al hacer que nuestras Liturgias reflejen en esta Sagrada Temporada el embelleciendo de nuestra adoración a Dios y celebrando el nacimiento de Su Hijo. A todos los constantes músicos, coordinadores, Ministros Extraordinarios de la Eucarístia, nuestros amables y atentos saludadores, nuestros voluntarios tecnológicos en cada Misa, y por nuestro maravilloso ministerio de aquellos que proclaman la Palabra de Dios….. Muchas Gracias.

Recuerde que las Misas de Vigilia de Navidad NO cuentan como la Misa de Obligación del Domingo. Estamos obligados a asistir a las Misas Dominicales el Sábado 23 de Diciembre a las 4:00 p.m. o el Domingo 24 por la mañana a las 7:30 a.m., a las 9:30 a.m. a las 11:30 a.m. (misa en español). NO HABRÁ MISA HASTA LAS 3:30 PM EL DOMINGO 24 DE DICIEMBRE, ya que la misa de 4:00 pm del Domingo es el comienzo de las Misas de Vigilia Navideñas y esas Misas NO cumplen con el requisito de la Obligación del Domingo. Para muchos, esto significa asistir a misa dos veces el 24 de Diciembre, ya que la obligación de misa dominical finaliza con la misa en español de las 11:30 a.m.

Se recomienda asistir a la Misa del Sábado 23 de Diciembre a las 4:00 p.m. para cumplir con la Obligación Dominical, y talvez asistir a una Misa de Navidad el 25 de Diciembre, evitando así la obligación de asistir a dos misas en el mismo día para cumplir con la Misas Dominicales y Misas Navideñas. Esto ocurre cada 7 ciclos del Calendario Litúrgico. Gracias por su cooperación y presteza en asistir a estas Misas. Que tu Navidad se llene de Alegría de esta Sagrada Temporada. Padre Ray

Dear Parishioners and Guests,

As we continue to get familiar with our new worship space, I thought it would be helpful to provide a diagram on how our communion stations will be set up for our Masses. At our busiest Masses and whenever possible, depending on whether we have enough Extraordinary Ministers of Communion, we will have 5 stations available. At those times when we aren’t as busy or have a limited number of Ministers, we will only have 3 stations. Provided below is a diagram which shows all 5 stations. The 3 stations in front will be used at all masses with the 2 in the back added when needed. Please note where the start of each station begins. When you come to church, you will notice bright orange directional arrows on the floor. These will guide you when we have 5 stations and will remain there until our community gets used to these new configurations. When done correctly, this will allow the distribution of Communion to flow much quicker. But as in all things, it’s going to take time.

Your Sister in Christ, Ellen Cabaluna-Lerum

Estimados Feligreses e Invitados,

A medida que nos familiarizamos con nuestro nuevo espacio de adoración, pensé que sería útil proporcionar un diagrama sobre cómo se establecerán nuestras estaciones de comunión para nuestras Misas. En las Misas más concurridas y siempre que sea posible, dependiendo de si tenemos suficientes Ministros de Comunión Extraordinarios, tendremos 5 estaciones disponibles. En los momentos en que no estamos tan ocupados o tenemos un número limitado de Ministros, solo tendremos 3 estaciones. A continuación se incluye un diagrama que muestra las 5 estaciones. Las 3 estaciones en frente se usarán en todas las misas con los 2 en la parte posterior añadidos cuando sea necesario. Tenga en cuenta dónde comienza el inicio de cada estación. Cuando venga a la iglesia, notara flechas direccionales de color naranja brillante en el piso. Estas flechas lo guiarán cuando tengamos 5 estaciones y permanecerán allí hasta que nuestra comunidad se acostumbre a estas nuevas configuraciones. Cuando se hace correctamente, esto permitirá que la distribución de Comunión fluya mucho más rápido. Pero como en todas las cosas, tomará tiempo Su hermana en Cristo, Ellen Cabaluna-Lerum

"SIMBANG GABI" ~ December 15 - 23, 2017 BACKGROUND: In the Philippines, these novena masses are celebrated in the morning, 4-5am or in the evening 6-7pm. It is also called “Misa de Gallo” (mass when the cock crows) or “Misa de Aguinaldo”. This is a very much desired Filipino religious tradition. Back home, families wake up early, attend Mass and fill up many churches. After the liturgy, delicious Filipino food and delicacies are served and shared by families. Thus this becomes both a religious and social gathering. ACTIVITIES: In the Las Vegas valley, “Simbang Gabi 2017” is celebrated in different parishes at their regular Mass time, as published in parish bulletins. Parishioners are invited to attend and participate in the novena. The Pastor/Associate at the assigned parish may preside the liturgy. Visiting priests may be welcome to concelebrate. The readings :of the day are read and proclaimed. A simple reception/fellowship takes place after mass.
