COLECTA R & R PARA AYUDAR CON LAS

RENOVACIONES DEL CENTRO PAPA FRANCISCO

La Segunda Colecta de hoy es para la "Reparación y Renovación"

de nuestros Edificios. Al comenzar la Renovación de nuestro

"Centro Parroquial Papa Francisco", las Colectas "R & R" nos

ayudarán, además de los fondos de la Campaña de Generaciones

de Fe, a pagar por la Renovación. Les pedimos a los feligreses que

sean lo más generosos posible. ¡GRACIAS a todos por sus

sacrificios y generoso apoyo!

SEGUNDA COLECTA DE NAVIDAD

La segunda Colecta del lunes, 25 de diciembre 2017, será para

una ofrenda especial de Navidad para ayudar a Caridades

Católicas en Brooklyn y Queens. Muchos de nuestros vecinos

dependen de Caridades Católicas para apoyar las necesidades

básicas y las herramientas para alcanzar la autosuficiencia para

cuidar y ayudar a niños y familias. Gracias por su generosidad.

LOS MEJORES DESEOS PARA UNA BENDECIDA

NAVIDAD Y UN PROSPERO AÑO NUEVO

Nos gustaría desear a todos nuestros feligreses y familias una

bendita, santa y alegre Navidad. Les recordamos a todos ustedes

en nuestras oraciones y en la misa de Navidad, así como orando

por muchas bendiciones en el Año Nuevo. Es un privilegio y una

alegría para nosotros servir al pueblo de San Miguel y ser parte de

la maravillosa comunidad de Fe y estamos muy agradecidos por el

amor, el apoyo y las oraciones durante todo el año y especialmente

en Navidad. Sinceramente, P. Kevin, P. Gesson & Msgr. Healy.

GRACIAS POR UN HERMOSO SHOW DE NAVIDAD!

Una vez más nuestra parroquia fue bendecida con un hermoso

espectáculo y concierto de Navidad. Agradecemos sinceramente a

todos aquellos que trabajaron tan duro y compartieron tanto de su

tiempo y talento para preparar este Concierto y Show que tan

maravillosamente presentó la Historia y el Espíritu de Navidad!!

Agradecemos especialmente a la Sra. Inés Cordero, Directora del

Programa de Educación Religiosa (Catecismo) y al Sr. Lawrence

Harris, nuestro Director Musical, quienes trabajaron con muchos

otros líderes, padres y voluntarios para dirigir y producir el Show

y el Concierto. Agradecemos a todos nuestros miembros del coro:

el Coro Español de Adultos, el Coro Juvenil CCJ y, sobre todo,

nuestro Coro Infantil, así como a todos los músicos. Así también a

los que trabajaron detrás de las escenas y a todos aquellos que

vendieron boletos. También, le damos "Gracias" especiales a los

niños de nuestro programa de Catecismo, que le dieron “vida" a

las Escrituras en la presentación de la Natividad en Belén. Estoy

seguro de que todos los que asistieron a el show están agradecidos

por las actuaciones inspiradoras que nos ayudaron a prepararnos

mejor para celebrar el Nacimiento de Jesús en Navidad.

Atentamente, P. Kevin.

GRACIAS POR LAS MISAS DE AGUINALDO

Agradecemos a todos los que participaron y asistieron en la

madrugada para las "Misas de Aguinaldo". En particular,

agradecemos a todos los grupos parroquiales que ofrecieron el

desayuno cada mañana después de la misa. A medida que el

número de personas que asistían a las misas continua aumentando,

de alguna manera siempre había suficiente comida.

HORARIO DE OFICINA EN NAVIDAD

La Rectoría estará cerrada el lunes, 25 de diciembre y el martes, 26

de diciembre en observación de la Navidad y el lunes 1 de enero

por el Año Nuevo. El Horario de Misas de Navidad esta en el

mes, hemos enviado por correo sus paquetes de sobres, si no lo ha

recogido en la iglesia. También puede recoger un paquete de sobres

LA APELACIÓN CATOLICA ANUAL 2017

promesas a la Campaña Católica Anual (ACA) por un total de

$65,524, pero hasta ahora solo se han donado $36,501. Nuestra meta

diocesana es de $39,425. Cada dólar sobre ese objetivo se devuelve a
