The Pastor’s Corner

Delivering Food, Shelter and Hope to the Poorest of the Poor

Our parish will be hosting an Outreach Priest on August 5-6, 2017. Father Tim Ryan will be speaking at all Masses on behalf of Cross Catholic

Outreach. This will give us the opportunity to share in celebrating

the success of the Church in helping the poorest of the poor

around the world. Don’t miss it! Rev. Tim Ryan

My dear Parishioners,

Wednesday, July 19, 2017 will go down in the annals of the Arch-

diocese as a Red Letter Day for on that day Archbishop Gregory

ordained Father Bernard E. Shlesinger III a Bishop to serve by the

Holy Father’s appointment as Auxiliary Bishop of Atlanta. The

Cathedral of Christ the King was filled to capacity with clergy,

religious and laity from across the region. Having served as a

priest in the Diocese of Raleigh for seventeen years, four of which

were spent as spiritual director at St. Charles Borromeo Seminary

in the Philadelphia Archdiocese, Bishop Shlesinger now becomes

the sole Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Atlanta. Both

Fathers Jerome and Patrick attended the ordination and invite all of

you to join us in congratulating and welcoming

Auxiliary Bishop Bernard E. Shlesinger III.

St. Paul of the Cross Parish also experienced another significant

event on the evening of July 19th. Gwendolyn Mason chaired her

last Finance Council meeting after serving the parish in that capaci-

ty for ten years with outstanding competence. Long time members

William Appling and Eli Jones also submitted their resignations as

well as Council Secretary Sandra Olivari, thus opening the way for

new leadership on the Finance Council. I am grateful to all for

their steady commitment to their responsibilities on this important

advisory council.

Cathy Bailey continues her presence on the Finance Council as we

welcome new members: Jennifer Darensbourg, Larry Ruder,

Vernon Martin, Juan Pacheco, and Ylonne Swails. My sincere

thanks to all for generously accepting their appoint to the Council.

Ex Officio members are Parochial Vicar Fr. Patrick Daugherty and

Bookkeeper Elmer Cortez. Finance Council Officers will be

chosen at the August 16th meeting. Once again, a big Thank You

to outgoing and incoming members of the Finance Council.

— Fr. Jerome, C.P.

16º DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO 23 DE JULIO, 2017

Page 4

15º Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario Queridos Hermanos, Hoy escuchamos otras tres parábolas del Reino del capítulo trece del Evangelio de San Mateo. El tema de las parábolas de hoy es el crecimiento del Reino. Hoy escuchamos que: -De una pequeña cantidad viene gran gracia. -El reino crece lentamente pero seguro. -El Reino crece en silencio. -Dios es paciente, dando tiempo para que el pecador se convierta. -Jesús vivió en medio de un mundo de bien y mal que llama arre-pentimiento. Podríamos decir que la parábola de la cizaña en medio del trigo nos habla de la convivencia, tolerancia y hasta respeto con toda aquellos personas y grupos que no comparten el Evangelio de Jesu-cristo. Refleja la situación en que vive la Iglesia en el mundo. Y la dificultad que a veces encontramos para saber aplicar el criterio de Jesús a situaciones concretas de nuestras vidas. La parábola recuerda igualmente que no hemos de pretender juzgar antes de tiempo. Y todavía mejor, a abstenernos de juzgar, dejándo-lo para Aquel que conoce en profundidad el corazón de cada per-sona. Ahora bien, si relacionamos la parábola del trigo y la cizaña con la de la levadura, podemos entender que la misión de los cris-tianos en el mundo es ser como el buen trigo que va creciendo hasta su madurez y que tiene la capacidad de transformar su en-torno. En perspectiva evangélica, incluso la cizaña puede llegar a transformarse en trigo. Jesús da tiempo para la conversión y noso-tros también. ALEGRÍA Nos da mucha alegría anunciar que Juan Pacheco es ahora el primer miembro de la comunidad hispana en el Consejo de Finanzas de San Pablo de la Cruz. Este es un consejo muy im-portante requerido para la Iglesia, la cual ayuda, aconseja y en oca-siones da permiso al pastor con respecto al uso de los fondos. La comunidad hispana de San Pablo de la Cruz es una parte vibrante y muy importante de la comunidad. Ha ido creciendo a lo largo de los años como el Reino. También me da alegría ver las muchas actividades y dedicación de la gente. ¡Muchas Gracias Juan!

P. Patricio, C.P.
