An important message from Fr. Medina...
Un mensaje del Padre Medina
October 28, 2015
My Dear Parishioners,
As All Souls Catholic Church continues to grow in spirit and in
relationship with each other and with Jesus Christ; we also continue to
strive to be a more welcoming faith community which offers a beautiful
worship experience for everyone – especially on Sundays.
Beginning the weekend of the First Sunday of Advent (November
28th and 29th) our new Mass times will be as follows:
Church:
Chapel
Saturday Vigil Mass 5:00pm
Sunday 8:00am
Sunday 9:30am, 11am, 12:30 (Spanish)
Latin Mass Sunday 2:00pm
The changes in our Mass times are made to enable Father Ed
McCarthy, Father Ken Metz and myself to better serve the needs of the
entire community and ensure we are seen in rotation at all of our weekend
Masses at both the Historic Chapel and the Church.
Our Christmas Mass schedule and Holy Day Mass times will
remain the same. For those of you who may be concerned about reserved
Sunday Mass intentions for the remainder of 2015 and in 2016 at our
former Mass times, be assured your intentions will be remain on our Mass
calendar and will be moved as follows:
8:30am (Spanish) intentions will be moved to the 12:30 (Spanish)
10:00am Mass intentions will be moved to the 9:30am Mass.
11:30am Mass intentions will be moved to the 11:00am Mass.
I acknowledge that change can be a challenge for some, but I am
confident that the end result will be one of spiritual growth and renewal
that will bear much fruit!
I thank you in advance for your understanding. I hope and pray
that these changes help all of us grow stronger as a community of faithful
believers in Jesus Christ.
In His Service,
Hermanos y Hermanas,

Sábado Misa de Vigilia 5:00pm
Domingo 8:00am
Domingo 9:30am, 11:00am, 12:30am (en español) Domingo (Latin) 2:00pm
Los cambios en el horario de las Misas son para permitir al Padre
Ed McCarthy, Padre Ken Metz y a mi mismo mejorar las necesidades de toda
la comunidad y asegurar que seamos vistos en la rotación de todas las misas
dominicales tanto en la Iglesia como en la Capilla Histórica.
El horario de las Misas Navideñas y días Santos permanecerán

2015 y 2016 estas permanecerán en nuestro calendario de Misas y se
reubicarán como sigue:

Reconozco que los cambios pueden ser un reto para algunos, pero
tengo la confianza que al final el resultado será un crecimiento espiritual y
renovador que va dar mucho fruto!
Yo les doy las gracias de antemano por toda su comprensión.
Espero y rezo que estos cambios nos ayuden a crecer más fuerte como

"But of that day or hour, no
one knows, neither the angels in
heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." It may strike us as odd that there are things that the angels don't
know. But it's even more surprising that Jesus--the Son of God--would have been unaware of the divine
schedule for the end of the world. Given all of this, should it come as any surprise that there are things that
God chooses not to reveal to us right now?
In his wisdom, God knows when the timing is right to reveal his plans to us. The fact that we don't
know everything helps us remember that we are not God. We are his creatures, dependent upon him for our
existence, our sustenance, and for the hour of our death too. In this era of instant Internet information,
advanced diagnostic medical tests, and statistical surveys predicting future trends, it's hard to accept the fact
that there are some things we just can't know. But this reality should keep us humble, reminding us that we
don't have to know everything because we are in the powerful hands of a loving God.
Thus, any attempt to "see the future" through psychic mediums like palm reading, tarot cards, or
astrology suggests a kind of distrust in God. As the catechism states, such practices "contradict the honor,
respect, and loving fear that we owe to God alone" (§2116). As much as we might want to know when the
world will end, when our dreams will come true, or when our problems will cease, we are called to walk in
faith, accepting what God chooses to reveal and trusting that even our moments of uncertainty are part of his
benevolent plan for us. As today's psalm declares, "you will show me the path to life." What else do we really
need to know?

Make All Souls Your Parish Home...
Often people attend Mass at All Souls for several years,
but never register. Registering here is a declaration of
your desire to be part of a Catholic community and to
make a commitment to the life of All Souls Church. Being a registered
parishioner makes the process much easier when it is time for infant
baptism, school or religious education registration, weddings, when asked
to be a baptismal or confirmation sponsor, and even funerals. A registered
parishioner receives all parish mailings, too.
Church law advises that territories or boundaries no longer limit parish
registration. All Souls accepts anyone who wants to share in the life of the
parish regardless of where they live. In order to register, you need to
complete a which registration card. These may be found narthex of the
church or chapel, the parish office during the week or online at our parish
website: www.allsoulssanford.org. Why not sign up today? We love our
new parishioners!

O God, you raised your servants, to the sacred priesthood of Jesus
Christ, according to the Order of Melchisedech, giving them the
sublime power to offer the Eternal Sacrifice, to bring the Body and
Blood of your Son Jesus Christ down upon the altar, and to absolve the
sins of men in your own Holy Name.
We beseech you to reward their faithfulness and to forget their faults,
admitting them speedily into your holy Presence, there to enjoy forever
the recompense of their labors. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

33º Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
Como cada año, en el penúltimo domingo del tiempo
ordinario, escuchamos un fragmento del discurso escatológico de
Jesús. Este domingo es según Marcos. El género apocalíptico nos
sorprende y muchas veces nos asusta, pues inmediatamente
pensamos en el fin del mundo que tantos han predicho pero fallado,
ya que este fin solo Dios lo sabe: "Nadie conoce el día ni la hora. Ni los
ángeles del cielo ni el Hijo; solamente el Padre" (Mc 13, 32). Lo
referente a las imágenes del sol, la luna y las estrellas nos llevan al
anuncio del misterio de Jesucristo, quien le da un verdadero sentido a
vivir con esperanza en el presente y el futuro.
¿Cuál es tu opinión sobre esto? ¿Qué piensas acerca de estas
lecturas? Es recomendable dialogar sobre estas lecturas en familia y
grupos parroquiales para así ayudar a clarificar tantas dudas y miedos
sobre la destrucción del mundo. Jesús nos indica que nada es absoluto,
ni siquiera la propia vida. Lo único cierto es que todos algún día, tarde
o temprano, estaremos frente a lo que sí es absoluto y verdadero:
Dios. ¿Qué esperamos los cristianos de hoy? ¿Cómo vemos a nuestra
comunidad? ¿Cuál es nuestra esperanza? Ojalá que todos estemos de
acuerdo en el retorno glorioso de Cristo. Bien sabemos que no somos
perfectos, pero tratamos de serlo: es por eso que acudimos cada
domingo a la Eucaristía. Las lecturas nos indican que vamos caminando
hacia el final de nuestra vida. Pidamos al Señor por la conversión de
todo
