DID YOU KNOW?

Talking about stranger danger The idea of “stranger danger” is often too broad a con-cept for children to grasp as not all strangers are dan-gerous, and children will always be meeting new peo-ple and on occasion may need to ask a stranger for help. Instead of issuing a blanket warning, try these tips for keeping children safe around people they do not know. If an unknown adult approaches them, have them check with a parent or known and trusted adult before engaging in conversation. This can be as simple as a quick look to the parent followed by a nod indi-cating that it is okay to interact. As an adult yourself, you can set a good example by talking first to parents, then to children in their care. This helps your own children see how trustworthy adults engage with chil-dren around their parents and helps them learn caution for adults who do not act in the same way. For more tips, request the VIRTUS® article “Communication Tip No. 5: Stranger Danger” at lacatholics.org/did-you-know.

¿SABÍA QUE? Hablar del peligro de los extraños La idea de “peligro de un extraño” es a menudo un concepto demasiado amplio para que los niños la com-prendan, ya que no todos los extraños son peligrosos y los niños siempre conocerán gente nueva y, en ocasio-nes, es posible que necesiten pedir ayuda a un extraño. En lugar de emitir una advertencia general, pruebe estos consejos para mantener seguros a los niños cuan-do están cerca de personas que no conocen. Si un adul-to desconocido se les acerca, pídales que le pregunten a uno de sus padres o a un adulto conocido y de con-fianza si puede entablar una conversación con esa per-sona. Esto puede ser tan simple como una mirada rápi-da a los padres seguida de un asentimiento que indica que está bien interactuar. Usted mismo, como adulto, puede dar un buen ejemplo hablando primero con los padres de familia y luego con los niños bajo su cuida-do. Esto ayuda a sus propios hijos a ver cómo los adul-tos confiables se relacionan con los niños alrededor de sus padres y les ayuda a aprender a ser cautelosos con los adultos que no actúan de la misma manera. Para obtener más consejos, solicite el artículo de VIRTUS® “Communication Tip No. 5: Stranger Dan-ger” (Consejo de comunicación No. 5: Peligro de ex-traños” en lacatholics.org/did-you-know.

Are you or someone you know interested in becoming Catholic? Areyou missing some of your sacraments of initia-tion (Confirmation and Eucharist (First Commun-ion))?

Haveyou joined us from a different religious background and are interest-ed in learning more about the Catholic Church?

We invite you to join us for our weekly ses-sions to learn how God may be calling you on your journey of faith. These gatherings are for “inquirers” and are open to everyone who is interested in learning more about the richness of our Catholic faith and tradition.

RCIA sessions are held on Tuesdays via Zoom from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm. For more infor-mation go to our website www.sjvhh.org.

If you are interested or want more infor-mation please call the RCIA Office at (626) 330-2269, Ext. 230 or via email: gina@sjvhh.org.

¿Estas tú o alguien que co-noces interesado en conver-tirse en católico? ¿Te hacen falta algunos de los Sacramentos de Inicia-ción (Bautismo, Confirma-ción, Eucaristía (Primera Co-munión))?

¿Ha llegado a nosotros de otra fe religio-sa y te gustaría aprender más sobre la Iglesia Católica?

Eres cordialmente invitado a atender nuestras sesiones semanales para aprender lo que la Iglesia enseña, y de qué forma te está llaman-do Dios en tu jornada de fe. Estas sesiones pueden ser una oportunidad para hacer las preguntas difíciles que tienes acerca de la Iglesia. Estas reuniones son para "simpatizantes” (personas interesadas sobre el proceso), y están abiertas a toda persona que esté interesado/a en aprender más sobre la riqueza y las tradiciones de la fe católica.

Las sesiones de RICA están programadas ca-da Martes a través Zoom de 7:00 pm a 9:00 pm. Visite nuestro sitio web para obtener más información www.sjvhh.orgo626-330-2269-Ext230.

Nosotras estamos buscando parejas (bilingüe es una ven-taja) para preparar a los nuevos padres a medida que comienzan su proceso de solicitar el Sacramento de Bau-tismo para sus niños/as.

While watching Mass on line at 6:30 am during the week and at 8 & 10 am on Sun-day, and it is time for the distribution of the Eucharist (Communion), you may say the

following Prayer of Spiritual Communion:

My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen

Oración de Comunión Espiritual: Creo, Jesús mío, que estas realmente presente en el Santísimo Sacramento del altar. Te amo sobre todas las cosas y deseo ardientemente recibirte en mi alma. Pero como ahora no puedo hacerlo sacra-mentalmente, ven al menos espiritualmente a mi corazón. Como si ya te hubiera recibido, te abrazo y me uno todo a ti. No permitas, Señor, que jamás me separe de ti. Amen

Step into Christ, Step out to Mission ~ Holy Doors of Mission

During the Jubilee Year, a plenary indulgence will be granted to all the faithful who meet the usual condi-tions and visit any of the pilgrimage sites within the Archdiocese to spend some time there at least to pray the Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be with the in-tention of uniting themselves with the missionary spirit of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Star of the New Evangeli-zation, and St. Junípero Serra, founder of Mission San Gabriel Arcángel.

A Holy Door represents Jesus Christ, who states: “I am the door” (John 10:1). Christ is the entry to new life. To cross the threshold of the Holy Door is to step into Christ, and to pass through the doors of the Church into the world is to step into mission. The Lord we en-counter in the Church, above all in the celebration of the Holy Eucharist, sends us forth from there to be missionaries of the Gospel.

What is Alpha? Alpha is a series of interactive sessions that explore the basics of the Christian Faith.

Who is it for? Alpha is for anyone who is curious. Al-pha talks are designed to encourage conversation about the Christian Faith in a friendly, open and informal environ-ment.

How does it work? Alpha is ten sessions with a weekend- day away in the middle. Each session begins with dinner, followed by a short talk and table discussion. No commit-ment and no charge. If Alpha is not for you, that is not a problem.

Is Alpha Catholic? Here’s what our Catholic Priests and Bishops are saying about Alpha:

Fr. Raniero Cantalamessa, Preacher to the Papal Household, Vatican “All those who love Jesus love evangelization…”

One of the advantages of Alpha is that it fo-cuses on Kerygma. In the ancient Church, there was a clear distinction between the Ker-ygma and the Didache, the catechesis. The Kerygma was the starting point of faith, and the catechesis had to form the faith. But faith in itself blossoms only by hearing the Keryg-ma...I especially appreciate the ecumenical spirit of Alpha: there is no pressure on any-body to join a different denomination, but just to join Jesus.”

Join us beginning Monday, October 4th @ 6:30 pm Via Zoom!

Come for fellowship and to ask the questions you’ve wanted to ask.

Welcome our new Deacon!

Beginning the month of October we are pleased to announce that Deacon Luis E. Gonzalez will be joining us to be a Deacon in our Hispanic Community.

FEAST OF FAITH

The Sign of Peace “Greet one another with a holy kiss,” wrote Saint Paul to the Corinthians (1 Corinthians 16:20), and he said the same thing to other communities as well. The holy kiss, the sign of peace, has been a hallmark of Christians from the very beginning. In giving and receiving the sign of peace, we are not giving something of our own, but something that Christ has given to us. “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you,” Jesus told his disciples (John 14:27). Jesus comes to us when we gather together in community. We celebrate the Eucharist not just to receive spiritual nourishment to help us on our solitary way to salvation, but to be transformed into one body, the Body of Christ in the world. As we receive the Eucharist, we are not only united to Christ; we are united to each other. It is never easy to live in community, and we hurt each other on the way. So we need to turn to each other in a sign of reconciliation and forgiveness, to look into each other’s eyes, and give and receive the peace that is not ours, but Christ’s. —Corinna Laughlin, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
