Cuaderno del Padre Father’s Notebook
Greetings brother’s and sisters in Christ, We are a week away from Christmas now and lots of activity is
building up here at the parish. This week we will be decorating
the Church, if you have free time during the day and would like
to lend a hand Mon-Wed, please call the office or drop by to
help.
This past weekend, we started putting water back into the
Baptismal Font. Many have expressed the longing for the
return of Holy Water. Holy Water is not a Sacrament, but it is a
sacramental. In our Catholic Faith, there are many
sacramental that help faithful Christians grow in faith and
devotion.
“Among sacramentals blessings (of persons, meals, objects,
and places) come first. Every blessing praises God and prays
for his gifts. In Christ, Christians are blessed by God the Father
‘with every spiritual blessing’” (Catechism of the Catholic
Church, 1671).
These blessings are a beautiful prayer that when placed on
persons or objects, is the Church asking publically and
authoritatively in the name of Jesus Christ that the person or
object be protected from the power of the Evil One and to grant
blessings and graces to those who use it.
Another beautiful sacramental is the Rosary. A rosary can be
blessed and thus be a beautiful reminder of Gods’ love for us
and the gift of the Mother of God, Mary. But not only is the
rosary a powerful sacramental, but it is also a powerful prayer
that calls down blessings and graces from Jesus through Mary.
We must remember that all graces and blessings come from
God and all that is good is from Him. And when we pray, when
we use Holy Water, when we go to Mary with our intentions,
God uses these persons and things to spread his life and light
in the world.
Nevertheless, sacramental are not Sacraments. Sacraments
are outward signs, instituted by Christ, to give grace (divine
life). Our reception of the Eucharist, our reception of mercy in
the Confessional is always more powerful and more effective
than any sacramentals. But sacramentals help move our
hearts closer to Jesus and Mary so that when we come to the
Sacraments our hearts are disposed properly to receive his
grace and divine life.
You are in my prayers this week as we draw closer to the birth
of our Lord.
Pax Christi,
Fr. Khoi
Saludos hermanos y hermanas, Estamos a una semana de Navidad y se está acumulando
mucha actividad aquí en la parroquia. Esta semana
estaremos decorando la Iglesia, si tiene tiempo libre durante
el día y le gustaría echar una mano de lunes a miércoles, por
favor llame a la oficina o visítenos para ayudar.
El fin de semana pasado, comenzamos a poner agua
nuevamente en la Pila Bautismal. Muchos han expresado el
anhelo por el regreso del Agua Bendita. El agua bendita no es
un Sacramento, pero es un Sacramental. En nuestra Fe
Católica, hay muchos sacramentales que ayudan a los
cristianos fieles a crecer en fe y devoción.
“Entre los sacramentales, las bendiciones (de personas,
comidas, objetos y lugares) son lo primero. Cada bendición
alaba a Dios y reza por sus dones. En Cristo, los cristianos
son bendecidos por Dios Padre 'con toda bendición espiritual'
”(Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica, 1671).
Estas bendiciones son una hermosa oración que cuando se
coloca sobre personas u objetos, la Iglesia pide pública y
autoritariamente en el nombre de Jesucristo que la persona u
objeto sea protegido del poder del Maligno y que otorgue
bendiciones y gracias a quienes úselo.
Otro hermoso sacramental es el Rosario. Un rosario puede
ser bendecido y así ser un hermoso recordatorio del amor de
Dios por nosotros y del don de la Madre de Dios, María. Pero
el rosario no solo es un sacramental poderoso, sino que
también es una oración poderosa que invoca bendiciones y
gracias de Jesús a través de María.
Debemos recordar que todas las gracias y bendiciones
provienen de Dios y todo lo bueno proviene de Él. Y cuando
oramos, cuando usamos Agua Bendita, cuando vamos a
María con nuestras intenciones, Dios usa a estas personas y
cosas para difundir su vida y luz en el mundo.
Sin embargo, los sacramentales no son Sacramentos. Los
sacramentos son signos externos, instituidos por Cristo, para
dar gracia (vida divina). Nuestra recepción de la Eucaristía,
nuestra recepción de la misericordia en el Confesionario es
siempre más poderosa y más eficaz que cualquier
sacramental. Pero los sacramentales ayudan a acercar
nuestros corazones a Jesús y María, de modo que cuando
venimos a los sacramentos, nuestros corazones están
dispuestos adecuadamente para recibir su gracia y vida
divina.
Estás en mis oraciones esta semana mientras nos acercamos
al nacimiento de nuestro Señor.
Pax Christi,
Padre Khoi

LITURGY 101: FUNCTIONS OF THE PEOPLE OF GOD
“In the earthly liturgy we take part in a foretaste of that heavenly
liturgy which is celebrated in the holy city of Jerusalem toward
which we journey as pilgrims, where Christ is sitting at the right
hand of God, a minister of the holies and of the true tabernacle;
we sing a hymn to the Lord’s glory with all the warriors of the
heavenly army; venerating the memory of the saints, we hope for
some part and fellowship with them; we eagerly await the Savior,
Our Lord Jesus Christ, until He, our life, shall appear and we too
will appear with Him in glory.”
-Vatican Council II, Sacrosanctum Concilium 8

CCE COIN DRIVE — PUT OUT INTO THE DEEP
As most are aware, Most Holy Trinity will be involved in a Capital Campaign that will
raise funds towards a new discipleship building. As part of this campaign, children,
grades Kinder through 6th, will be asked to participate in our Put Out Into The
Deep Coin Drive as a stewardship project for our CCE students throughout this
year.
Students will be given a stewardship money bag and each week they are invited to
bring their coin offering to their classroom teacher. Students will be encouraged to
practice selfless giving in support of the church’s capital campaign in whatever
way they are able. Parents and students are encouraged to learn and pray the
"Put out into the Deep" prayer that Fr. Khoi has provided for all the members of the
Parish to pray and guide us as we begin our Campaign. We ask that you keep this
prayer at home and pray daily with your family just as we will be praying with the
children throughout the CCE year.
This will be a great stewardship opportunity for them to learn to give in support of
the needs of others and our Church.
NO RCIA AND ADULT CONFIRMATION FOR CHRISTMAS BREAK AND NEW YEAR’S
Due to the Holidays there will be no RCIA and Adult Confirmation from December
23, 2021 until December 30, 2021. We will resume classes on Thursday, January

BLESSING OF A CHRISTMAS MANGER OR NATIVITY SCENE
BLESSING CAN BE CONDUCTED BY ANY MEMBER OF THE FAMILY.
The leader prays with hands joined: “God of every nation and people, from the very
beginning of creation you have made manifest your love: when our need for a
Savior was great you sent your Son to be born of the Virgin Mary. To our lives he
brings joy and peace, justice, mercy, and love. Lord, bless all who look upon this
manger; may it remind us of the humble birth of Jesus, and raise our thoughts to
him, who is God-with-us and Savior of all, and who lives and reigns forever and
ever.
R/. Amen.

CHRISTMAS COMMEMORATIVE PAVER SPECIAL
Are you looking for a unique gift for someone on your Christmas list this
year, or would you like to commemorate the loss of a special someone?
Commemorative pavers for the patio at the entrance of the church are
available.
The pavers will be inscribed with the name or message of your choice.
The Christmas Special cost for each paver is $75.00 and will be in
effect December 1st through January 7th.
You are allowed 2 lines with no more than 16 characters per line (a
character includes commas, spaces, etc.). For more information, or for
help/suggestions on how to word your paver, call the parish office.
COLLECTION CHANGE ANNOUNCEMENT
First Collection
Now we are going to go back to passing the collection basket in the
manner we were doing before COVID. So, the ushers will be coming
forward at the offertory time and handing the basket for you to place
your donation and then pass to the next person in the pew where the
ushers will pick up at the end of the aisle.
We are only going to do this for the first collection.
Second Collection
We will still be using the drop box in the back for second collection
donations as usual where you can drop your second collection
envelopes or loose cash. If you wish to place your second collection
"envelopes" in the basket as it passes you can do that, but if you wish
to give in loose cash to the second collection, please drop that in the
drop box in the back.
Campaign Pledge Payments
The other slot of the drop box in the back will now be a place where
you can drop your pledge payments for the Put Out into The Deep
Campaign. Please be sure to clearly mark you campaign pledge
payments so that you receive proper credit. There are some envelopes
in the gathering space if you need, that you can put your pledge
payments in.
Building Development Fund Envelope
Also, some have asked about the Yellow, "Building Development Fund"
envelope that we have monthly as a second collection. That is not the
same as the Put Out into The Deep Pledge commitment. We will
continue to use that collection for ongoing building projects in the
Parish.
Thank you so much for your generosity!
