DEAR PARISHIONERS:
Dear Parishioners :The Solemnity of St. Joseph is celebrated on Thursday,March 19. He is the patron of Canada and of the universalChurch. He is the foster father of Jesus and the spouse of theBlessed Virgin Mary.
The Preface at the Mass of St. Joseph describes him also asa just man and a wise and loyal servant of the Lord.
He never says anything in the Gospels but we see how by hisactions he never under- reacted or over-reacted to the eventsand activities of God’s salvation plan as it unfolded.
The character of St. Joseph developed with God’s graces sothat he overcame fear and grew in his life of prayer andduties to Mary and Jesus.
We should ask Joseph in our prayers to help us to work withGod’s graces so that we may have a stewardly spirit. Withprayer and helping others with their true needs, we can helppeople to be closer to Jesus and Mary.
St. Joseph, patron of Canada, pray for our nation and ourfamilies. Amen
Fr. Galvon

O most watchful guardian of the divine family,

O most loving Father, ward off from us every
contagion of error and corrupting influence;
O our most might protector, be propitious to us,
and from heaven assist us in this our struggle
with the power of darkness;
and as once you rescued the Child Jesus
from deadly peril,
so now protect God’s holy Church from the snares
of the enemy and from all adversity;

A STEWARDSHIP MOMENT
Jesus tells his disciples of the immeasurable generosity
God has bestowed on them by offering His only Son for
their salvation. Good stewards realize this wonderful gift.
God has sacrificed what is most dear to Him for our sake.
Do we rejoice in this gift of Our Savior and respond to this
love with our own immeasurable generosity? Do we allow
the light of Christ to shine in the world through us? Or do
we withdraw, refusing this gift, and prefer to live in a way
that denies the light of Christ? This week, reflect on the
ways you allow the light of Christ to shine through you.
Could that light reflect even more brilliantly through you?

Dios no envió a su Hijo para condenar al mundo
Dios no mira al mundo con indiferencia y menos aún con
hostilidad. Su inmenso amor al mundo entero lo lleva a " dar
" , a " entregar " , al Hijo, al Unigénito. El Hijo es un regalo,
un don, un presente del Padre al mundo, porque Él ama a
los hombres con un amor de calidad divina, sin límites. La
finalidad de este regalo es la salvación universal, inmediata
y definitiva. Esta prioridad del amor de Dios por su criatura,
el hombre, es una de las realidades más conmovedoras del
cristianismo, ya que supone por parte de Dios la misericordia
para con el pecador y la debilidad de los hombres.
¡ Existe una gran necesidad !
Sí, una gran necesidad de participantes en todos los
ministerios en la Iglesia. La comunidad hispana en la
Catedral de Ntra. Señora del Rosario solicita de más
integrantes para el coro, lectores y hospitalidad. No se
requiere de experiencia en ninguno de estos servicios.
Ven a disfrutar la dicha de saludar a quienes van llegando a
Misa, la alegría de leer a los hermanos las Sagradas
Escrituras o alabar al Señor al unisono con los Ángeles en el
Cielo. ¡ No lo pienses más pues eres bienvenido !
Habla con el Padre Federico, él te indicará con quien debes
hablar para integrarte en cualquier ministerio que el Espíritu
te inspire.

A message from Archbishop Miller
to the Faithful of the Archdiocese of Vancouver
March 6, 2015
Last month, the Supreme Court of Canada overturned the law againstassisted suicide and gave Parliament one year to write a new law.This ruling will expose vulnerable Canadians to pressure to end theirlives and could lead to euthanasia in our hospitals and care homes.
With a federal election this fall, there is not enough time forParliament to research, hold public consultations, and enact a newlaw. By invoking the Notwithstanding Clause, this issue can receivethe time needed for it to be adequately addressed.
In your pews is a postcard addressed to Justice Minister PeterMacKay, asking him to use the Notwithstanding Clause. Please signthe card and return it to the ushers. In doing so, you’ll add your voiceto thousands of others urging Ottawa to act responsibly.
This is a critical time for Canada. The Supreme Court has thrown outprotection for the vulnerable. It is essential that government havesufficient time to write new legislation that includes every possiblesafeguard against suicide and euthanasia.
Please continue to promote quality palliative care in Canada so thatCanadians are not drawn to suicide out of fear, isolation or despair.I also invite you to practice the corporal works of mercy of personallycaring for the sick and dying, as well as offering some of your Lentenprayer and fasting for this important cause.
I invoke upon you the blessings of our heavenly Father and with theassurance of my prayers for you and your families, I remain
Sincerely yours in Christ, J. Michael Miller, CSBArchbishop of Vancouver
