Together in Mission Appeal Follow-Up Weekend

As each parish household prayerfully reflects on the amount of the pledge to be made to help these parishes and schools, please reflect on the

following questions. 1. Do I really believe that I have a

duty to help others who are in need? 2. Is what I give to the work of the

Church enough to show how grateful I am for what God has given me?

3. Do I appreciate how important every

contribution to Together in Mission is to the peo-

ple in the subsidized parishes and schools?

We are very excited to announce that we have arranged with our financial institute, Chase JPMorgan Bank, to process your parish contributions

through a secured, confidential, and hassle-free Automatic Clearing House Program (“ACH Program”) to automatically process your contributions. ACH eliminates the need for you to write checks and allows you to give,

even if you are unable to attend services. Please feel free to call Maria Martinez in our parish office if you have any questions.

Did you know? You can help create a safer environment for children by leaving your parish

or community environment safer each day than when you started. This could be as simple as training yourself to do a more effective job of

keeping your eye on those around you when they interact with children. It sounds overly simple, but most of us don’t really do it, and it can be an

easy habit to develop. It just takes persistence and a way to measure your success. For example, in order to make yourself “notice” those who are

interacting with children, you could try counting the number of children you see each day interacting with non-parental adults. Okay… so this would be a little unrealistic for a schoolteacher, but for the rest of us, it could be a very big learning experience. To learn more about parish efforts to create

safe environments for our children, please contact the parish office.

SOLID FAITH Today we hear Moses and the

Lord Jesus summon their followers to listen attentively to their words. Moses reminds the

people that a great blessing awaits those who obey the

commandments of the Lord. Jesus tells his followers that those

who listen to and act upon his words will be like the wise man

who built his house on rock. Saint Paul recalls for us the

central truth of our faith: that we have been justified freely by

God’s grace through the redemption of Christ. In a society

in which we are constantly bombarded with words, let us take the sacred words we hear

today to heart. May these words strengthen our faith and make that faith as solid as that house built on rock. © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.

oración sobra la cantidad del compromiso económico que hará para ayudar a estas parroquias y escuelas,

por favor pregúntese los siguiente: 1. Creo yo realmente que tengo el deber de

Iglesia para mostrar todo lo agradecido que estoy por lo

que Dios me ha dado? 3. Estoy consciente de

que tan importante es cada contribución a Unidos en

Misión para la gente en las parroquias y escuelas

subsidiadas?

¿Sabía Usted? Usted puede ayudar a crear un ambiente mas seguro para los niños en su

parroquia y comunidad al mejorar cada día esa seguridad. Esto puede ser tan simple como entrenarse para hacer un trabajo más efectivo manteniendo “un

ojo” en los que le rodean cuando interactúan con niños. Esto suena demasiado simple, pero la mayoría de nosotros en realidad no lo hacemos, y puede ser un hábito fácil a desarrollar. Esto sólo requiere persistencia y una forma de medir sus logros. Por ejemplo, para que usted “se de cuenta” de los que interactúan

con niños, podría tratar de contar el número de niños que ve cada día interactuando con adultos que no son sus padres. Esto podría ser un poco irreal para un profesor, pero para el resto de nosotros podría ser una gran

experiencia de aprendizaje. Para aprender más acerca de los esfuerzos que realiza nuestra parroquia por crear un ambiente seguro para los niños,

por favor comuníquese a su oficina parroquial.

FE SÓLIDA Hoy oímos a Moisés y al Señor Jesús convocar a sus seguidores para que escuchen atentamente sus palabras. Moisés recuerda al pueblo que una gran bendición aguarda a los que obedecen los mandamientos del

Señor. Jesús dice a sus seguidores que los que oyen sus palabras y las

ponen en práctica serán como la persona sabia que construye su casa sobre roca. San Pablo nos trae a la

memoria la verdad central de nuestra fe: que hemos sido justificados

gratuitamente por la gracia de Dios mediante la redención de Cristo. En una sociedad en la que nos vemos constantemente bombardeados por

palabras, tomemos en serio las palabras sagradas de hoy. Que estas palabras fortalezcan nuestra fe y la

hagan tan sólida como la casa construida sobre roca.
