(Carta en español en la página 5) “Signal of a New Beginning” By Mary Katharine Deeley
In the sacrament of baptism, we stress that the person is no longer bound by original sin; rather,
despite still retaining the wounds caused by original sin, he or she becomes free to live as a child
of God, embracing the will of God through discipleship in Jesus Christ. We’re free to live not as the
world dictates, but as those who know, love, and serve God in this world and look forward to
being with him in the next.
Adults who go through the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults have time to reflect on the
conversion necessary for such transformation, but for many of us, the significance of our baptism
as infants gets lost in the long years between childhood and adulthood. We stop being mindful of
the power of grace and the necessity of turning our lives over to God regardless of the work we
do or the community we belong to.
We may have wondered why Jesus presented himself for baptism. Wasn’t he God, born without
sin? Of course, the answer is yes. But Jesus came to his baptism as a public witness of the need to
turn over our lives to God. Like us in all things, Jesus approached John for the ritual washing that
signaled a new beginning. It was a sign for us and a wonderful way to mark the beginning of his
ministry.
Matthew records that he heard the voice of God saying, “This is my beloved Son.” In baptism, God
welcomes all of us as beloved children. Out of gratitude and praise, we, in turn, follow Jesus.
And so we submit our lives to God—proclaiming justice, doing good, and loving God and others as
we love ourselves.
For many, the significance of our baptism as infants gets lost in the long years
between childhood and adulthood.
Parishioners are invited to get involved in our parish in many ways. Listed are some of the opportunities that you may find personally and spiritually rewarding.
Decoration Committee Members are needed to:
• Organize and decorate church and hall for events, weddings, and funerals.
Kitchen Group volunteers are needed to:
• Organize and lead new fundraising events, such as, fish fry, BBQ cookouts, enchilada nights, etc..
• Organize, plan and sell breakfast on Sunday mornings.
(You can create your own group or help an established group.)
Other opportunities in the parish:
• Altar servers are needed for all Masses.
• Musicians, especially for English Mass.
• Person to assist with photography and video.
• Person to assist with PowerPoint and A/V.

(Letter in English on page 3)
“Señal de un nuevo comienzo” Por Mary Katharine Deeley
En el sacramento del bautismo, hacemos hincapié en que la persona ya no está atada por el pecado
original, sino que, a pesar de que sigue manteniendo las heridas causadas por el pecado original, él o
ella es libre de vivir como hijo de Dios, abrazando la voluntad de Dios a través del discipulado en
Jesucristo. Somos libres de vivir no como el mundo dicta, sino como los que conocen, aman y sirven a
Dios en este mundo y esperamos estar con él en el siguiente.
Los adultos que pasan por el Rito de Iniciación Cristiana de Adultos tienen tiempo para reflexionar
sobre la conversión necesaria para dicha transformación, pero para muchos de nosotros, el significado
de nuestro bautismo en la infancia se pierde en los largos años entre la infancia y la edad adulta.
Dejamos de ser consciente del poder de la gracia y de la necesidad de convertir nuestras vidas en
manos de Dios sin importar el trabajo que hacemos o la comunidad a la que pertenecemos.
Puede que hayamos preguntado por qué Jesús se presentó a sí mismo para el bautismo. ¿No era Dios,
nacido sin pecado? Por supuesto, la respuesta es sí. Pero Jesús vino a su bautismo como un testimonio
público de la necesidad de entregar nuestras vidas a Dios. Al igual que nosotros en todas las cosas,
Jesús se acercó a Juan para el lavado ritual que marcó un nuevo comienzo. Era una señal para
nosotros y una maravillosa manera de marcar el comienzo de su ministerio.
Mateo registra que él oyó la voz de Dios diciendo: "Este es mi Hijo amado." En el bautismo, Dios da la
bienvenida a todos nosotros como hijos amados. Por gratitud y alabanza, nosotros, a su vez, seguimos
a Jesús.
Y así sometemos nuestras vidas a Dios—proclamando justicia, haciendo bien y amando a Dios y a los
demás como nos amamos a nosotros mismos.
Para muchos, la importancia de nuestro bautismo como bebés
se pierde en los largos años entre la infancia y la edad adulta.
Todos los feligreses están invitados a participar en nuestra parroquia de muchas maneras. Estas son algunas de las oportunidades que puede encontrar personalmente y espiritualmente gratificantes.
Se necesitan miembros del Comité de Decoración para: • Organizar y decorar la iglesia para eventos, bodas y funerales.
Se necesitan voluntarios en el Grupo de Cocina para: • Organizar, planificar y vender desayunos los domingos. (Pueden crear su propio grupo o ayudar a un grupo
establecido).
• Organizar y dirigir nuevos eventos, como vender pescado frito, platillos de barbacoa, platos de enchiladas, etc..
Otras oportunidades en la parroquia: • Se necesitan servidores del altar para todas las Misas. • Músicos, especialmente para la misa en inglés • Persona para ayudar con fotografía y video. • Persona para ayudar con PowerPoint y A / V.
