This year, the Church will celebrate Catechetical Sunday on September 17, 2017. The 2017 theme will be "Living as Missionary Disciples." Those who the Community has designated to serve as catechists will be called forth to be commissioned for their ministry. Catechetical Sunday is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the role that each person plays, by virtue of Baptism, in handing on the faith and being a witness to the Gospel. Catechetical Sunday is an opportunity for all to rededicate themselves to this mission as a community of faith.
Prayer for Catechists.
O God, our Heavenly Father, you have given us the gift of these catechists to be heralds of the Gospel to our parish family.
We lift them up to you in thanksgiving and intercede for them concerning their hopes and needs.
May we be attentive to the presence of your Word in them, a Word that lifts up and affirms, calls forth and challenges, is compassionate and consoles.
We pray that our parish family will always be blessed with those who have responded to the call to share in Christ’s prophetic mission as catechists. May we too be open to the universal call to service that Christ addresses to all of his disciples, contributing our gifts to the communion of faith, the Church.
We ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Prayer for Family Commitment.
Loving and merciful Father, who instituted the family as an instrument of your fruitful love and raised it to be a sacrament of the love of your Son for his Church, send forth your Holy Spirit to forgive us for our sinful failures, to heal the personal and social wounds that afflict us, to bring consolation to the vulnerable among us, and to enable us to reach out in compassionate care to all those families in need.
Make possible within us and for us what only you can do. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
SACRAMENTO DE BAUTISMO Próxima charla pre bautismal: Será el sábado 23 de septiembre a las 3pm en el salón grande de la Iglesia San Gerardo Próxima fecha de bautismo: Será el sábado 30 de septiembre. Existe un límite de 10 niños o hasta 6 familias por cada sábado.
Las familias interesadas deben: 1.) asistir a misa todos los domingos, 2.) Estar inscritas en la parroquia, 3.) Tener llena la forma de inscripción al bautismo. Los niños NO deben venir a la plática para evitar interrupciones.
Este año, la Iglesia celebrará el Domingo Catequético el 17 de septiembre del 2017. Esta serie se centra en el tema "Viviendo como discípulos misioneros". Aquellos a quienes la comunidad ha designado para servir como catequistas serán llamados a recibir la comisión de su ministerio. El Domingo Catequético es una maravillosa oportunidad para reflexionar sobre el papel que tiene cada persona, en virtud del Bautismo, en transmitir la fe y dar testimonio del Evangelio. El Domingo Catequético es una oportunidad para que todos vuelvan a dedicarse a esta misión como comunidad de fe.
Oración por los Catequistas. O Dios, nuestro Padre
celestial, nos has dado el don de estos catequistas para que sean heraldos del Evangelio en nuestra familia parroquial. Los presentamos ante ti en acción de gracias e intercedemos por ellos en sus esperanzas y necesidades.
Haz que estemos atentos a la presencia de tu Palabra en ellos, Palabra que eleve y afirme, y que a la vez convoque y desafíe, que sea compasiva y que consuele.
Oremos para que nuestra familia parroquial siempre sea bendecida con aquellos que han respondido al llamado a compartir la misión profética de Cristo como catequistas. Que estemos también abiertos al llamado universal al servicio que Cristo dirige a todos sus discípulos, contribuyendo con nuestros dones a la comunión de la fe, la Iglesia.
Pedimos esto en el nombre de Jesús. Amén.

Oración por el Compromiso de la Familia.
Padre amoroso y misericordioso, que instituiste la familia como un instrumento de tu amor fecundo y la elevaste como un sacramento del amor de tu Hijo por su Iglesia, envía tu Espíritu Santo para perdonarnos por nuestras fallas pecaminosas, curar las heridas personales y sociales que nos afligen, llevar consuelo a los vulnerables de entre nosotros y permitirnos brindar atención compasiva a todas las familias necesitadas.
Haz posible dentro de nosotros y por nosotros lo que sólo tú puedes hacer. Por Cristo nuestro Señor. Amén.
