A Note from the Administrator...
Dear friends,
Everyone says Christmas is a time of happiness, peace
and hope … but statistics show a rise in suicides,
domestic violence and depression.
There is more darkness here in the northern hemisphere.
Many drink more alcohol, and eat more sugar. We
desperately miss those who have gone before. We may
compare Christmas now with idyllic Christmases we had
as (spoiled) children.
If you have any low spots over the holidays --- no one
appreciates your dinner or your gifts, or you get
thoughtless presents or maybe none at all, or you feel so
lonesome for those special people who aren’t here you
wish you were dead --- try to remember that Christmas
does not depend on you to be successful.
God makes Christmas a success every year by renewing
the gift of our Savior. And that means Light is in this
world, and that the Light desperately totally completely
loves you --- whether you’re in a happy mood or feeling
very sorry for yourself. Things get better. Life moves
forward. And after death is eternal Life. That’s the
promise of Christmas.
So … be patient with yourself and be patient with others
… and Merry Christmas!
Peace, All Good!
Fr. Mike
Estimados Amigos,
Todos dicen que la Navidad es el tiempo de felicidad,
paz y esperanza…..sin embargo las estadísticas demuestran que en ese tiempo hay un incremento en los suicidios, en la violencia doméstica y la depresión.
Aquí en el norte del hemisferio nos encontramos mucho más en las tinieblas. Ya que muchos toman
más bebidas alcohólicas, y consumen más dulces. Y
también extrañamos mucho a los que ya no están con
nosotros. Comparamos muchas veces la Navidad de
ahora con las navidades que tuvimos como cuando eramos niños (consentidos).
Si tienes alguna debilidad durante las fiestas…
nadie apreciará tu cena o tus regalos, y recibirás regalos
inconsiderados o quizás no recibas ningún regalo, o te
sientes sólo extrañando esas personas queridas que ya
no están aquí contigo y sientes querer estar muerto--trata de recordar que la Navidad no depende de tí para
que ese tiempo sea próspero.
Todos los años Dios nos la hace la Navidad próspera
reafirmando el obsequio divino de Nuestro Salvador. Y
eso quiere decir que la Luz está en el mundo, y que esa
Luz nos ama totalmente y perdídamente –así que estés
con una buena disposición o con un estado anímico de
lástima. Las cosas mejoran. La vida continúa. Y después de la muerte está la vida eterna. Esa es la promesa
de la Navidad…
Así que ten paciencia y ten paciencia con los
demás ….y… ¡Felíz Navidad!
¡Paz y Bién!
Padre Mike

St. Margaret Mary Women’s Fellowship invites all
adult women to join us for this Winter/Spring bible
study Becoming a Woman Whose God is Enough
by Cynthia Heald.
This study will help you understand how God desires to bless you with His fullness and to teach you
to depend on Him completely. Through this 11session Bible study, you will learn to turn from
worldly satisfactions to a life of contentment, from
selfishness to humility, and from unbelief to rich
fellowship with God.
The City of Chino is seeking additional
volunteers to participate in the Point-in-time
homeless count. This count affects the amount
of money received to provide services.

Coordinator 909-334-3500.
No matter where you are in life, bestselling author
Cynthia Heald will help you lay aside your selfsufficiency and embrace the woman God created
you to be. As you grow to depend on the Lord,
you’ll learn the joys of giving God control, waiting
on Him with contentment, and humbly trusting
Him.
Registration will take place after all Masses, January 16th & 17th. The study will begin 6:30 pm,
