Dear Parishioners of Saint Dominic Savio,

We are going ahead with our Fall Raffle. In past years, the Fiesta and raffle brought in funds that the parish needed to do “extra” things. This year the raffle will help us continue with the most essential things. Since the pandemic closed our church doors, donations that support the day to day running of the parish have fallen significantly.

The Fall Raffle will be Sunday, September 27, 2020. We will draw the winning tickets in public after our last Sunday Mass that day (around 7:30 pm). We will also “livestream” the drawing on the parish website. Raffle winners do not have to be present to win.

Please help us sell tickets for the raffle. One book of 25 tickets will sell for $50 or $2 for each ticket. We will collect and sell tickets after all the Saturday evening and Sunday Masses beginning on September 12th. Remember, those who sell an entire booklet and turn them in after one of these Masses will receive 10 free tickets for themselves. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Fr. Mike Gergen, SDB

Estimados feligreses de Santo Domingo Savio,

Vamos a tener la rifa de otoño. En años pasados, la Fiesta y la rifa aportaron fondos que la parroquia necesitaba para hacer algu-nas inversiones “extras”. Este año el sorteo nos ayu-dará no con inversiones “extras” sino, necesarias. Pues, desde que la pande-mia cerró las puertas de nuestra iglesia, las donacio-nes que apoyan el funcio-namiento diario de la parro-quia han disminuido signifi-cativamente.

La rifa de otoño será el domingo 27 de septiembre de 2020. El sorteo será después de la última misa dominical de ese día (alrededor de las 7:30 pm). Transmitiremos en vivo, vía “livestream” la rifa por el sitio web de la parroquia. Es importante tener presen-te que el ganador necesa-riamente no tiene que estar presente para llevarse el premio.

Acudo a su buena y gran voluntad para pedirle que nos ayude a vender los boletos de la rifa. El talona-rio de 25 boletos tiene un costo de $50 o cada boleto por $2. Recordemos que se pueden entregar los boletos vendidos o comprar más boletos después de todas las misas de sábado y do-mingo a partir del 12 de septiembre. Tengan pre-sente, que las personas que vendan un talón com-pleto (25 boletos) y los entreguen después de una de estas misas de fin de semana, recibirán 10 bole-tos gratis para si mismos.

Sinceramente y agradezco su generosidad,

P. Michael Gergen, SDB

Did you know? Cyberbullying is still a threat with distance learning This year, with school starting online children of all ages will be interacting with one another via technology even more than usual. Be on the lookout for signs that bullying is happening via the internet, texting, various apps, or social media – as challenging as it is, monitor both the amount of time your children are “plugged in” and the content of what they are doing when interacting with their peers. Cyberbullying can include the use of apps, texts, photographs, and images that are intended to hurt, harass, embarrass, or even destroy the reputation of a victim. Unlike at school, you cannot walk away from cyberbullying — it spreads instantly, 24/7. Children who are cyberbullied may avoid going online or talking to their so-called friends. They are likely to be sad or angry and may have low self-esteem. For more information on this topic, visit https://lacatholics.org/did-you-know/. El ciberacoso sigue siendo una amenaza en la educación a distancia Este año, con la escuela comenzando en línea, los niños de todas las edades estarán interactuando unos con otros vía tecnología aún más que lo usual. Esté pendiente de señales que indiquen que está ocurriendo acoso vía internet, textos, por medio de aplicaciones, o de las redes sociales. Aunque constituya un desafío, monitoree tanto la cantidad de tiempo que sus niños pasan conectados, como el contenido de lo que ellos están viendo cuando interactúen con sus amigos. El ciberacoso puede incluir el uso de aplicaciones, textos, fotografías, e imágenes con los cuales se intenta herir, hostigar, avergonzar, o hasta destruir la reputación de una víctima. Los niños que son acosados por medio de internet pueden evitar conectarse en línea o de hablar con sus llamados amigos. Ellos podrían mostrarse tristes o enojados y pueden tener baja autoestima.

Sunday Readings September 6, 2020 Twenty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time Reading 1 Ez 33:7–8 A reading from the Book of the Prophet Ezekiel Thus says the L : You, son of man, I have appointed watchman for the house of Israel; when you hear me say anything, you shall warn them for me. If I tell the wicked, “O wicked one, you shall surely die,” and you do not speak out to dissuade the wicked from his way, the wicked shall die for his guilt, but I will hold you responsible for his death. But if you warn the wicked, trying to turn him from his way, and he refuses to turn from his way, he shall die for his guilt, but you shall save yourself. The word of the Lord. R. Thanks be to God. Responsorial Psalm Ps 95:1–2, 6–7, 8–9 R. If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts. Come, let us sing joyfully to the L ; let us acclaim the rock of our salvation. Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us joyfully sing psalms to him. R. If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts. Come, let us bow down in worship; let us kneel before the L who made us. For he is our God, and we are the people he shepherds, the flock he guides. R. If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts. Oh, that today you would hear his voice: “Harden not your hearts as at Meribah, as in the day of Massah in the desert, Where your fathers tempted me; they tested me though they had seen my works.” R. If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts. Reading 2 Rom 13:8–10 A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Romans Brothers and sisters: Owe nothing to anyone, except to love one another; for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. The commandments,

“You shall not commit adultery; you shall not kill; you shall not steal; you shall not covet,” and whatever other commandment there may be, are summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no evil to the neighbor; hence, love is the fulfillment of the law. The word of the Lord. R. Thanks be to God. Gospel Acclamation 2 Cor 5:19 R. Alleluia, alleluia. God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. R. Alleluia, alleluia. Gospel Mt 18:15–20 The Lord be with you. R. And with your spirit. A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew R. Glory to you, O Lord. Jesus said to his disciples: “If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have won over your brother. If he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, so that ‘every fact may be established on the testimony of two or three witnesses.’ If he refuses to listen to them, tell the church. If he refuses to listen even to the church, then treat him as you would a Gentile or a tax collector. Amen, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again, amen, I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything for which they are to pray, it shall be granted to them by my heavenly Father. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” The Gospel of the Lord. R. Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Lecturas de Domingo 6 de septiembre de 2020 Vigésimo Tercer Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario Primera lectura Ez 33, 7–9 Lectura de la profecía de Ezequiel. Esto dice el Señor: “A ti, hijo de hombre, te he constituido centinela para la casa de Israel. Cuando escuches una palabra de mi boca, tú se la comunicarás de mi parte. Si yo pronuncio sentencia de muerte contra un hombre, porque es malvado, y tú no lo amonestas para que se aparte del mal camino, el malvado morirá por su culpa, pero yo te pediré a ti cuentas de su vida. En cambio, si tú lo amonestas para que deje su mal camino y él no lo deja, morirá por su culpa, pero tú habrás salvado tu vida”. Palabra de Dios. R. Te alabamos, Señor. Salmo Responsorial Sal 94, 1–2. 6–7. 8–9 R. Señor, que nos seamos sordos a tu voz. Vengan, lancemos vivas al Señor, aclamemos al Dios que nos salva. Acerquémonos a él, llenos de júbilo, y démosle gracias. R. Señor, que nos seamos sordos a tu voz. Vengan, y puestos de rodillas, adoremos y bendigamos al Señor, que nos hizo, pues él es nuestro Dios y nosotros, su pueblo, él nuestro pastor y nosotros, sus ovejas. R. Señor, que nos seamos sordos a tu voz. Hagámosle caso al Señor, que nos dice: “No endurezcan su corazón, como el día de rebelión en el desierto, cuando sus padres dudaron de mí, aunque habían visto mis obras”. R. Señor, que nos seamos sordos a tu voz. Segunda lectura Rom 13, 8–10 Lectura de la carta del apóstol san Pablo a los Romanos. Hermanos: No tengan con nadie otra deuda que la

del amor mutuo, porque el que ama al prójimo, ha cumplido ya toda la ley. En efecto, los mandamientos que ordenan: “No cometerás adulterio, no robarás, no matarás, no darás falso testimonio, no codiciarás” y todos los otros, se resumen en éste: “Amarás a tu prójimo como a ti mismo”, pues quien ama a su prójimo no le causa daño a nadie. Así pues, cumplir perfectamente la ley consiste en amar. Palabra de Dios. R. Te alabamos, Señor. Aclamación antes del Evangelio 2 Cor 5, 19 Aleluya, aleluya, aleluya. Dios estaba en Cristo reconciliando al mundo consigo, y ha puesto en nosotros el mensaje de la reconciliación. Aleluya, aleluya, aleluya. Evangelio Mt 18, 15–20 El Señor este con ustedes. R. Y con tu espíritu. Lectura del santo Evangelio según san Mateo. R. Gloria a ti, Señor. En aquel tiempo, Jesús dijo a sus discípulos: “Si tu hermano comete un pecado, ve y amonéstalo a solas. Si te escucha, habrás salvado a tu hermano. Si no te hace caso, hazte acompañar de una o dos personas, para que todo lo que se diga conste por boca de dos o tres testigos. Pero si ni así te hace caso, díselo a la comunidad; y si ni a la comunidad le hace caso, apártate de él como de un pagano o de un publicano. Yo les aseguro que todo lo que aten en la tierra, quedará atado en el cielo, y todo lo que desaten en la tierra, quedará desatado en el cielo. Yo les aseguro también, que si dos de ustedes se ponen de acuerdo para pedir algo, sea lo que fuere, mi Padre celestial se lo concederá; pues donde dos o tres se reúnen en mi nombre, ahí estoy yo en medio de ellos”. Palabra del Señor. R. Gloria a ti, Señor Jesús.
