Rosarios en Septiembre / Octubre

Estimados Miembros de Santa María, Hoy el Señor cuenta la parábola de esos trabajadores disgustados que no re-cibieran más sueldo que otros después de haber trabajado más horas. La historia termina con el terrateniente preguntándoles: "¿Están envidiosos porque soy gene-roso?" Esta pregunta es muy irónica. El estilo de vida cristiano es precisamente el de imitar al Dios revelado por Je-sucristo. ¿Por qué debemos ser pacientes, compasivos, perdonadores o genero-sos? Simplemente, porque así es Dios. Jesús sufrió y murió para que pudiéramos tener esa Vida. Estoy tan bendecido por las muchas maneras en que ustedes, los miembros de Santa María, reflejan a mí la vida abundante de Dios. ¡Que siempre seamos así de "envidiosos" de Dios! Recuerde, el próximo domingo 8 de octubre es el Día de Donación para que haya un espacio para reuniones juveniles. Estoy esperando y rezando por una se-gunda colecta de $20,000 hacia los $60,000 necesarios para pagar la conversión del garaje de los sacerdotes en un espacio juvenil. Ustedes que tienen hijos o nie-tos adolescentes, esta es su oportunidad de hacer algo magnífico para ellos. E in-cluso si no los tienen, ¡tenemos que hacer más como parroquia para llegarles y guardarlos! Por favor, ayúdame a hacer que esto suceda. Por supuesto que no hay que esperar hasta el 8 de octubre, ¡se puede dar una donación en cualquier mo-mento! Favor de dar según hayan recibido. Yo personalmente daré $1,000. En cuanto al santuario, el retraso se debe a las negociaciones con la Ciudad. Estamos apelando el requisito de pasamanos a intervalos cercanos en todo el perí-metro. Gracias a todos los ministros litúrgicos así también a ustedes por su pacien-cia con el arreglo temporal del altar y el ambo.

Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time - February 12, 2017 Twenty-Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time - September 24, 2017 Religious Education:

408.847.2652

RCIA

The RCIA process is ongoing and anyone can become part of this process whenever they feel that they are ready. Our process follows the complete Liturgical Year which begins at the Advent/Christmas Season, through Easter and Pentecost and continues through Ordinary time of the Church year. Parishioners, your family and friends are all welcome to come to the sessions and prepare for the Sacraments of Initiation: Baptism, Confirmation and Holy Eucharist. We also welcome fellow parishioners who would like to become involved in this ministry as a RCIA team member, or sponsor a candidate who is preparing for the sacraments. The benefits are awe inspiring. If you are seeking information about the sacraments of initiation or sponsoring, please call Barbara in the Religious Education Office at 408.847.2652.
