given time the Lord sends us his Word to free us: to

encourage us, to give us renewed hope, and to

strengthen our faith. He does this through Scripture,

prayer and Eucharist, but also through the invaluable

ministry of presence that we offer to one another. Here

in our parish, that presence is shown in very concrete

ways: through the friendships people have formed, and

more formally through the important work of our Social

Concerns office directed by Carmen Parra and herdedicated team of volunteers, as well as through the

efforts of the Knights of Columbus and other

outreach-oriented groups, including and especially our

ushers and other ministers of hospitality And lets not

forget the successful parish retreats offered this past

week by Father Larry (English) and Frs. Luis, Andres andmyself (Spanish). Many thanks to everyone for your

important witness!

Jesus also reaches us through his and our Mother, Mary.

During this past week, we have celebrated two major

feasts in honor of the Blessed Virgin: the ImmaculateConception and Our Lady of Guadalupe. Under both

titles, Mary is the special patroness of the United States

and, as Pope John Paul II stated of all of America. We

rejoice in her protection and love, her special care and,

most especially, through her faithful witness.

Finally, on behalf of the entire Franciscan community

here at San Luis Rey (Frs. Larry, David, Adrian, Luis andmyself; Brother Moe, as well as our Covenant membersKay and Marie) I would like to express our deep gratitudeand appreciation to everyone for the tremendous

outpouring of friendship, support, and love as we

mourned the passing of our brother Kelly Cullen. Youcame to visit us when we were imprisoned in our grief.

And you brought us Christs consolation and hope.

Thank you and

God bless,

Fr. Chuck

From The Pastors Desk

Parish News & Happenings IRA withdrawal this can be done directly to the church andtax can be avoided. We know that there are many demands

on your resources, and many charitable organizations asking

for your gift, just remember that what you give to yourchurch is used right here. It may be for food for the needy,

education for our youth, or services to other sectors of our

community, but it stays here.

If there is a special need that you would like your gift to

address just say so with a note and we will honor your wish.

Thank you for all that you do and all that you give. Our

parish is stronger and better able to cope with local needs

because of your gifts.

YEAR END PLANNINGIf you have been reading the business

section of either of our local papers you have

no doubt noticed that the year end tax advice

columns are starting to appear. The last

quarter of the year is the time to take the

necessary actions to reduce that tax liability that looms just

around the corner. Many folks choose charitable giving as

the avenue to reduce those taxes. If this is your plan please

do not forget our parish. If you need to make a mandatory

Dear Parish Family,

Peace and all good! Today, the Church marks the mid-

point in the Advent season with a moment of rest and

reflection. By tradition, it is known as Gaudete Sunday

from the Latin word meaning Rejoice! The presiding

priest wears rose-colored vestments (but not rose-

colored glasses) and we light the single pink candle on theAdvent wreath to mark the special significance of the

date. In a way, this is the half-time show: a time to stop,

take stock of how we are preparing ourselves spiritually,

and to start all over again in case the first part of the

season has been disastrous. There is absolutely no

reason to stay discouraged; the Lord is with us.

In todays Gospel from Matthew (11:2-11), Jesus receives

word that his cousin John the Baptist is in prison awaiting

an uncertain fate. John is anxious, afraid, insecure and in

doubt: Is Jesus the Promised One or not? If not, then

Johns ministry has been in vain and his suffering has no

meaning whatsoever. Jesus sends words of reassurance

to John through Johns followers, referring to the Baptist

as one is more than a prophet. Much more! Jesus

validates Johns faith and commitment and gives him

strength to go on.

Jesus does the same with us. He sends word to us

through the people who touch our livesto let us know

when we are on track. As human beings we are prone to

frustration and discouragement. Right now, we live in

difficult times: the economy is in terrible shape;

unemployment is high; more and more families are facing

loss of their homes through foreclosure. Many goodpeople are tempted to self-medicate through any number

of addictive and ultimately self-destructive behaviors.

And still others of usespecially during the holiday

seasonexperience loneliness and depression often

heightened by illness, age, isolation and fear.

Whatever prison we may feel that we inhabit at any

Fr. Raul Alejos-Montelongo

Recently, a number of parishioners have asked us about Fr.

Raul Alejos. As you may recall, last December, Fr. Raul left

his assignment here at Mission San Luis Rey Parish. At that

time, he asked his Franciscan brothers, for help, and reported

that he was suffering from the disease of alcoholism. After

leaving the parish, Fr. Raul was sent to Portland, Oregon for a

complete psychological evaluation. He underwent further

psychological evaluations and treatment at a special

rehabilitation facility for clergy in Pennsylvania. Against the

recommendation of his superiors and the directors of the

program, Fr. Raul left the program without completing it and

returned to Mexico.

In September of this year, Father Raul received notice that

he was being dismissed from the Franciscan order for grave

reasons. He is no longer a Franciscan friar. He is prohibited

from functioning in any way as a priest in the Diocese of San

Diego and in other dioceses in the United States. The bishops

of Mexico have also been made aware of Fr. Rauls current

status and unless or until he obtains permission from a

bishop, he may not function as a priest.If you have any questions or concerns about this matter,

please contact the pastor, Fr. Chuck, directly.

ATTENTION DRIVERS:For the safety of your belongings, we please ask that you

make sure to lock your vehicles and secure your items out

of sight. Weve had two incidents this year and we would

like to avoid any future occurrences.

Thankyou.

8 |PARROQUIAMISION SAN LUIS REY, Oceanside, California 12 de diciembre del 2010

Estimados Miembros de la Familia Parroquial,Paz y Todo Bien!

Hoy la Iglesia marca el punto medio de la estacin deAdviento con un momento de descanso y de reflexin. Tra-

dicionalmente, este es conocido como domingo Gaudete -de la palabra en latn que significa Regocijarse. El sacerdo-te que preside est usando vestiduras de color rosado (perono espejuelos de color rosa) y nosotros encendemos la ni-

ca vela rosa de la Corona de Adviento para destacar el signi-ficado especial de esta fecha. en cierta forma, esta es lamitad de la demostracin: un tiempo para detenernos, de

hacer una evaluacin sobre cmo estamos preparndonosespiritualmente y de empezar de nuevo en el caso de que laprimera parte de la estacin haya sido un desastre. No hay

una razn en absoluto para estar descorazonado; el Seorest con nosotros.

En el Evangelio de hoy de Mateo (11:2-11) Jess recibe lanoticia de que su primo Juan el Bautista est preso esperan-

do una suerte incierta. Juan est ansioso, temeroso, insegu-ro y dudando: Es Jess El Prometido o no? Si no, el ministe-

rio de Juan ha sido en vano y su sufrimiento no tiene signifi-cado alguno. Jess le enva palabras de afirmacin a Juan atravs de los seguidores de Juan, refirindose al Bautista a

uno que es ms que un profeta. Mucho ms! Jess valorala fe y la dedicacin de Juan y le da fortaleza para continuar.

Jess hace lo mismo con nosotros. El se comunica connosotros a travs de las personas que tocan nuestras vi-

daspara dejarnos saber cuando estamos haciendo lo co-rrecto. Como seres humanos, nosotros estamos expuestos afrustracin y a estar descorazonados. En estos momentos,

estamos viviendo en tiempos difciles: la economa est en

un estado terrible; el desempleo est bien alto; ms y msfamilias estn perdiendo sus casas por falta de pago. Mucha

gente buena tiene la tentacin de medicinarse a travs deun nmero de adictivos y finalmente, en comportamientosdestructivos. Y an, algunos de nosotros, especialmentedurante la poca festiva, experimentan soledad y depresin

a menudo, agudizndose por enfermedad, edad, aislamien-to y temor.

Por cualquier prisin que nosotros podamos sentir que

hemos estado viviendo en algn momento, el Seor nosenva Su Palabra para liberarnos: para darnos fe renovada y

para fortalecernos en nuestra fe. El hace sto a travs de lasEscrituras, de la oracin y de la Eucarista, pero tambin a

travs del ministerio invaluable de la presencia que noso-tros nos ofrecemos unos a otros. Aqu en nuestra parroquia,la presencia se muestra en formas muy concretas: a travs

de la amistad que la gente ha formado y mucho ms formal,a travs del trabajo tan importante de nuestra oficina de

Asuntos Sociales dirigido por Carmen Parra y su grupo devoluntarios como tambin a travs de los esfuerzos de losCaballeros de Coln y otros grupos orientados a dar ayuda,

incluyendo los ujieres y otros miembros de hospitalidad...

Y no olvidemos el retiro parroquial tan exitoso ofrecido porPadre Larry la semana pasada (ingls) y los padres Luis,Andrs y este servidor (ofrecieron en espaol). Muchas gra-cias a todos por ser testigos importantes.

Jess tambin nos alcanza a travs de Mara, su propiaMadre y madre nuestra. Durante esta semana pasadahemos celebrado sus fiestas mayores en honor de la Santsi-ma Virgen: La Inmaculada Concepcin y Nuestra Seora deGuadalupe. Bajo los dos titulares, Mara es la patrona espe-

cial de los Estados Unidos y como inform el Santo PadreJuan Pablo II, de toda las Amricas. Nosotros nos regocija-mos en su proteccin y en su amor y en su sabidura espiri-tual y muy especialmente, a travs de su testimonio fiel.

Finalmente, a nombre de la comunidad Franciscana en sutotalidad aqu en San Luis Rey (Padres Larry, David, Adrian,Luis, Andrs y este servidor; el Hermano Moe como tambinlos miembros convenant (Kay y Marie) yo deseo expresar-les nuestro agradecimiento y apreciacin por su demostra-cin tremenda de amistad, de apoyo y de amor al nosotrosestar de luto por el fallecimiento de nuestro hermano KellyCullen. Ustedes vinieron a visitarnos cuando estbamos pre-sos en nuestro sufrimiento. Y ustedes nos trajeron el con-suelo y la esperanza de Cristo. Gracias y

Dios los bendiga,

Padre Chuck

PADRE RAL ALEJOS-MONTELONGO

Un sinnmero de feligreses han preguntado sobre el Pa-dre Ral Alejos. Como pueden recordar, el diciembre pa-sado, el Padre Ral dej su trabajo aqu en la ParroquiaMisin San Lus Rey. En ese momento, l pidi ayuda asus hermanos franciscanos e inform que estaba sufrien-

do de la enfermedad de alcoholismo. Despus de haberdejado la Parroquia, el Padre Ral fue enviado a Portland,Oregn para una evaluacin sicolgica completa.Adems, fue sometido a evaluaciones sicolgicas y trata-miento en una clnica especial de rehabilitacin para elpersonal clero en Pennsylvania. Contra la recomendacinde sus superiores y directores del programa, el Padre Raldej el programa sin haberlo completado y regreso aMxico.

En septiembre de este ao, el Padre Ral recibi noticiade que l estaba siendo despedido de la orden Francisca-na por razones graves. El ya no es un fraile Franciscano.

A l se le ha prohibido funcionar en cualquier aspectocomo sacerdote en la Dicesis de San Diego y en otrasDicesis en los Estados Unidos. Ya se les ha hecho saber alos obispos de Mxico sobre el estatus del padre Ral ysolo s, o hasta que, l obtenga permiso de un obispo, lno puede funcionar en ningn aspecto como sacerdote.

Si tienen alguna pregunta o preocupacin sobre esteasunto, por favor comunquense con el Prroco Padre

Chuck directamente.

rdenes religiosas que ahora son ancianos ofrecieron su vida

en servicio a los dems,educando a la juventud, consolan-

do a los enfermos, buscando justicia para los oprimidos. Hoy,

muchos son frgiles, ancianos, y necesitan atencin mdica.

cuidado bsico como medicamentos y cuidados de enfermer-

a. Sea generoso en su donativo a la segunda colecta de hoy.

PLANIFICACION PARA FIN DE AO

Si han estado leyendo la seccin de negocios de algunos

de los peridicos locales sin duda habrn observado el co-

mienzo de las advertencias de fin de ao sobre las contribu-

ciones. El cuarto final del ao es el tiempo de tomar la accin

necesaria para reducir las contribuciones que estn en la

esquina. Muchas personas escogen hacer donaciones carita-

tivas como medio para reducir esas contribuciones. Si ste es

tu plan, por favor no te olvides de nuestra parroquia. Si tu
