St. Lorenzo Ruiz Catholic Parish Community Welcome Home!
“Where Earth meets Heaven”
Bishop Gerald E. Wilkerson ‘Welcome Home’ where ‘Earth meets Heaven’...thank you for leading our community to embrace the gift of the Spirit.
Saludos de parte del Padre Tony...
A nuestros queridos feligreses, amigos Y benefactores,
¡Bienvenido a casa!... "Donde la tierra se encuentra con el Cielo"!
¡Es Pentecostés!... "Señor, envíanos tu Espíritu y renueva la faz de la tierra"... ¡Señor, envíanos tu Espíritu y renueva la faz de nuestra comunidad de San Lorenzo!
Recordemos y Re imaginemos cómo el Espíritu descendió poderosamente sobre los primeros seguidores y les facultó para proclamar y ser testigos del Evangelio hasta los confines de la tierra. Vayamos y contemos y volvamos a contar la historia del Espíritu a nuestras hermanas y hermanos… "Escuchar y reconocer nuestra propia vida en los muchos idiomas, culturas y acentos de otros es el verdadero milagro de Pentecostés."
Celebremos y adoptemos nuestra diversidad en la única lengua que el Espíritu Santo habla: amor, misericordia y hospitalidad. Y bien, así oramos: "Señor, quizás no tendremos el don de lenguas otorgado a los discípulos cuando se llenaron del Espíritu Santo, pero estamos dotados de la misma guía de gracia del Espíritu Santo. Al igual que esos primeros discípulos, estamos llamados a poner nuestros propios dones para usar y difundir la Buena Nueva con amor. "
Que todos nos conviértanos en testigos del lenguaje del Espíritu Santo, del lenguaje del amor... escuchando el uno al otro. Los amo a todos.
Padre Tony
Greetings from Fr. Tony…
To our dear Parishioners, Friends & Benefactors,
Welcome Home!... ‘where Earth meets heaven’!
It is Pentecost!... “Lord send us your Spirit and renew the face of the earth” … Lord send us your Spirit and renew the face of our St. Lorenzo community”!
Let us ‘remember and reimagine’ how the Spirit powerfully descended upon the early followers and empowered them to proclaim and be witnesses of the Gospel to the ends of the earth. Let us go and tell and retell the Story of the Spirit to our sisters and brothers…
“To HEAR and RECOGNIZE our very own lives in the many languages, cultures and accents of other is the true Miracle of Pentecost.”
Let us celebrate and embrace our diversity in the only language the Holy Spirit speaks –Love, Mercy and Hospitality. And so we pray: “Lord we may not have the gift of tongues bestowed upon the disciples when filled with the Holy Spirit, but we are endowed with the same grace guidance of the Holy Spirit. Like those early disciples, we are called to put our own gifts to use and spread the Good News with love. “ May we all become witnesses to the language of the Holy Spirit, the language of love… by listening to one another. I love you all.
Fr. Tony
Do you want to continue your faith journey? Are you interested in receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation? Are you over the age of 18? Have you received
the sacraments of Baptism and First Communion? If you answered yes to all
these questions, then we have the program for you! St. Lorenzo Ruiz is
offering a 6-week Adult Confirmation Program every Monday from 7pm to 9pm beginning
July 22, 2019.
CONFIRMATION DAY is in September 2019
RCIA (the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) prepares adults to receive one or more of the Sacraments of Initiation. The Sacraments of Initiation are Baptism, Confirmation, and First Eucharist [Communion]. RCIA also prepares adult to be received into the Catholic Church if they have been baptized in another Christian church. If a person was baptized as a Catholic but never received First Eucharist and/or Confirmation, they can also be a part of the RCIA. We will be finishing the regular sessions of RCIA for those who received sacraments at the Easter Vigil.
If you, or someone you know, are interested in becoming a fully initiated member of the Catholic Church, please contact Bob Kondrath at the parish office or email [email protected].
RCIA session meet every Sunday starting with attending the Liturgy of the Word at the 10.30 am Mass.

‘....no longer two but one…’
St. Lorenzo Ruiz’s Stephen Ministry is a ministry which assists the priests in the parish dealing with people expressing various crises in their lives and what to talk with someone on a regular basis. Since our parish has only two priests with over 2700 registered families, Fr. Tony and Fr. Elmer cannot carry on long-term one-to-one caring ministry. Thus our trained Stephen Ministers are willing to meet the needs of those who are going through rough times. Our Stephen Ministers have trained to care for members of our congregation who are experienc-ing some sort of challenges in their lives such as divorce, grief, a terminal illness, loss of a job, relocation, an empty nest, retirement, hospitalization, loneliness and many other stresses or chal-lenges. One such stress which can occur at this time of the year is the difficulty of facing summer breaks but differently than in years past, due to the departure of a loved one, change in family relation-ships, and trying to deal with all other aspects of changed circumstances. If you have any chal-
lenges in your lives like the ones mentioned above, please contact Bob Kondrath, a Stephen Ministry Leader, who will chat with you and then try to link you with one of the trained Stephen Ministers. All conversations are held in the strict-est confidentiality. You can reach Bob at the parish number (909) 595-9545 or email him at [email protected].
To Our St. Lorenzo Ruiz Catholic Community: As part of our G.R.A.C.E., let us make it as our way of life to bring home a food bag every third Sunday and bring them back with grocery items to share with those in need on the fourth Sunday of the month.
We serve & we share.
We are a Kingly people.

GRACE (Generous Response According
to Christ’s Embrace)
Sunday Giving & Offering
GRACE is our Sunday giving...what we offer on Sundays. GRACE is an acronym for Generous Response According to Christ’s Embrace.
Let us continue to discern whether how much we give on Sunday is indeed a generous response to how much God has blessed us. Thank you Lord for blessing us.
Please participate in revisiting & renewing our Sunday Giving.

“When we give freely to God, we receive freely from God.”
Priest Retirement Fund—Special Collection June 15 & 16 at SLR We are truly blessed by the men who have given their lives in service to thousands of families as a priest. As life begins to change in their later years, so too do their needs. Together we are invited to join and bless those who have blessed us by making a meaningful gift to the Priest Retirement Fund. Have you ever wondered what happens to our priests after they retire from teaching, preaching, and serving on a regular basis? Where do they go? Who takes care of them? What do they need? Like us, they desire rest and have needs for care and medical treatment as they grow older. Unlike most of us, though, their modest salaries were never meant to provide for them after many years of service. Your gift to the Priest Retirement Fund is a meaningful investment and true blessing for the care and comfort of our spiritual fathers as they enter the later chapters in life. They deserve nothing less.

“When he disembarked and saw the vast crowd, his heart was moved with pity for them, and he cured their sick.” (Matthew 14:14) “The Lord, your God, you shall worship; then I will bless your food and drink, and I will remove all sickness from your midst.” (Exodus 23:25) For more information, please call Josie Beacham @ 909 239 7808 or Zeny Sibal @ 909 838 5079
A Mission, Together
The Together in Mission campaign is an opportunity for people across the Archdiocese to join together - as one united voice. Thousands of men and women just like you make a sustainable monthly commitment because they believe in the hope that will be given through classrooms, from pulpits, on the streets, and through the sacraments. Will you join them once again? Will you continue to write the story of hope? And if you have never given, will you make a pledge of just $25 per month?
How to Make a Gift Make a secure gift online or pay towards an existing
pledge via your computer or cell phone: archla.org/give You can also make a gift by phone by calling 213-637-7672 (M-F 8am-5pm)
We welcome home with prayers & well wishes our Youth who are attending the AMAZING ENCOUNTER (AE) RETREAT this week ….
