GOSPEL: John 10:1-10 We are all familiar with the image of Jesus as the Good Shepherd. But in this reading from John's Gospel, Jesus first refers to himself as "the gate" through which the sheep come to safety. The thieves are those people who try to en-ter God's kingdom by some other gate. The sheep are those who recognize Jesus as the only door to the green pasture of eternal and abundant life. 1.) Think about what an ordinary gate does. It keeps safe whatever is in the yard (like small children, animals, a gar-den) and keeps out what might be harmful. How is Jesus a gate for your life? How does he keep you safe? What does he keep in your life? How can you help others to recognize Jesus as the gate for their lives? 2.) One of God's gifts to us is our free will. We can run out of the yard and leave the gate behind if we like. How can you say yes to Jesus, the gate? How can you show him that you appreciate him and love him?

EVANGELIO: Juan 10:1-10 Estamos familiarizados con la imagen de Jesús de Buen Pastor. En esta primera lectura del Evangelio de Juan, Jesús se refiere a sí mismo como "la puerta" por medio de la cual las ovejas pasan con seguridad. Los ladrones son las per-sonas que tratan de entrar al reino de Dios por otra puerta. Las ovejas reconocen a Jesús como la única puerta al verde pasto de la vida eterna y abundante. 1.) Piensa en lo que hace una puerta ordinaria. Da seguridad a todo el que esté dentro y mantiene afuera al que quiere hacer daño. ¿Cómo es Jesús una puerta en tu vida? ¿Cómo te mantiene seguro? ¿Qué guarda él en tu vida? ¿Cómo puedes ayudar a otros a reconocer a Jesús como la puerta en su vi-das? 2.) Uno de los dones de Dios es el libre albedrío. Podemos salir y cerrar la puerta detrás de nosotros si queremos. ¿Cómo puedes decir sí a Jesús, la puerta? ¿Cómo puedes mostrarle que aprecias su amor?

TESOROS DE NUESTRAS TRADICIONES Todas las oficinas parroquiales han recibido

llamadas telefónicas urgentes de personas que “necesitan confirmarse” porque se les ha pedi-do que sean padrinos o porque están por ca-

sarse y aun no han recibido este sacramento. El no estar confirmado no es un requisito para

casarse pero si para ser padrinos. Muchos se sorprenden de que la iglesia insista en sellar el

compromiso bautismal con la confirmación ante-s de tomar la responsabilidad de ser padrinos. En otras palabras, si alguien fuera su guía para

llegar a cierto lugar, ¿no le gustaría que esa persona ya hubiera recorrido el camino anterior-mente? Del mismo modo, el padrino debe de ser alguien que ya ha estado ahí y que conoce

el camino. Y aunque ya no se utilicen los anillos que sellaban los pactos, nuestra sociedad sigue dependiendo de “sellos de seguridad” como los que se hallan en las medicinas o los certificados de calidad de los alimentos. Así como la Euca-ristía “sella” el Sacramento del Bautizo, la ini-

ciación cristiana no está completa si no se reci-be el Sacramento de la Confirmación. Si usted aun no se ha confirmado, no espere hasta que tenga que hacer esa urgente llamada. Pase por

la rectoría para más información.

Para su Información:

Queridos Feligreses: Por favor APAGUE su celular antes del entrar a la iglesia.

¡Gracias!

Una Gran Aventura... ¡El tiempo pasa tan rápido! En 1999 se inició la primera cam-

paña para financiar por quince años el costo de la construcción del nuevo edifi-cio parroquial, Nano Nagle Hall, bajo la

supervisión del Mnsr. Bruce Dreier. Ahí se encuentran dos salones de clases, el labo-ratorio de ciencias, la biblioteca y el gim-nasio. Esta campaña no recaudó lo sufi-

ciente y en 2007 se inició la segunda cam-paña para saldar la deuda de un millón de dólares. A pesar del entusiasmo y genero-sidad de nuestros feligreses, la situación

económica de la nación afectó tremenda-mente a muchas familias que incluso hoy en día siguen sintiendo los efectos y por

las cuales seguimos orando. ¡Esta campa-ña redujo la deuda a $100,000! En nues-tras celebraciones por el centenario de la

parroquia iniciamos la última campaña para saldar esa deuda. Al llegar a los 15

años, el préstamo se vence y la Arquidió-cesis nos pide que saldemos la deuda.

Sabemos que aun muchos se están recu-perando de los efectos de la economía

pero apelamos nuevamente a su genero-sidad para ayudarnos a saldar esa deuda.

A los que prometieron dar semanal o mensualmente les pedimos que salden su compromiso o aumenten su contribución en la medida de sus posibilidades. A los

que no lo han hecho, les invitamos a unir-se a esta última campaña. También les pedimos que si no pueden contribuir en estos momentos, ayúdenos con sus ora-

ciones para que ésta última campaña pue-da finalmente pagar la deuda. Recorde-

mos que NOSOTROS—-y no ¨LOS OTROS somos la iglesia. ¡Qué Dios los

bendiga a ustedes y a sus familias!

¨Levantando los ojos, vio a los ricos que echaban sus ofrendas en el arca de las ofrendas. 2 Vio tam-bién a una viuda muy pobre que echaba allí dos

blancas. 3 Y dijo:—En verdad os digo que esta viuda pobre echó más que todos, 4 pues todos

aquellos echaron para las ofrendas de Dios de lo que les sobra; pero ésta, de su pobreza echó todo

el sustento que tenía.¨ Lucas 21:1-4

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION: Every rectory office has received a panicked

phone call from a person who has been invited to serve as a godparent, or from someone

newly engaged, who suddenly “needs to get confirmed.” While the lack of confirmation is not an obstacle for marriage, it is for godpar-enting. Many are surprised that the Church

seems to be looking for a kind of sacramental “seal” on one’s baptism before the door opens fully to this ministry. Yet if you think about it,

would you want someone to guide you to a place that he or she had not yet been? A god-

parent has to be someone who has “been there” and knows the way. Although signet

rings and wax seals have passed from use, our society depends on “seals of approval” ranging

from certificates of quality to the familiar safety seals on medicines and foods. While Eucharist is the “seal” of the sacrament of

baptism, there is a sense in which one’s Chris-tian initiation is also incomplete without con-firmation. Have you been confirmed? Perhaps

it’s time to inquire now, before you have to make that dreaded phone call!

For Your Information:

What A Journey It Has Been...

How time has flown! Back in 1999 under the supervision of the late Monsignor Bruce

A. Dreier, the parish committed to the con-struction of the new building Nano Nagle Hall, which contains the two eighth grade classrooms, the school library, the school science lab, and the gymnasium. The first capital campaign was launched to pay the

construction costs. Unfortunately, the funds were insufficient and we were left with a $1

million debt. In 2007 a second campaign was initiated to pay off the remaining debt.

Things were going well, we had great sup-port and enthusiasm. However, it was in the middle of the campaign when our economy became unstable. We pray for the families who were affected by it and who are still

feeling its effects. In a similar manner, we are still feeling the repercussions as a parish

family. As part of our Centennial Celebra-tion, we reached out to you, our Parishion-ers, to continue to commit to eliminate this debt. By God’s grace, your generosity and continuing support, we have been able to reduce the debt to $100,000.00! Recently, the Archdiocese has notified us that they

would like our debt to be paid off this year as it was a 15 year loan. We understand that

this is a lot to ask of your already generous and giving self, but we are asking you to help

us AGAIN. If you have a current pledge, we are hoping that you can pay it off this year or

increase the amount you are giving each payment. If you have not yet pledged, we ask that you join in solidarity to help our

parish family and make a pledge or a gift. If you are unable to help financially, your

prayers are more than sufficient. Remember that WE are the church. Take a closer look at the word church: ch-U R-ch. YOU are at the center of it! Without you we are incomplete.

God bless you and your families always!

“Jesus looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the offering box, and he saw a poor

widow put in two small copper coins. And he said, “Truly, I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them. For they all contributed out of

their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.” – Luke 21:1-4
