STEWARDSHIP REFLECTION FOR THE
WEEK OF NOVEMBER 23/REFLEXIÓN
DE LA CORRESPONSABILIDAD PARA
LA SEMANA DEL 23 DE NOVIEMBRE
“Amen, I say to you, what you did not do for one of these least ones, you
did not do for me.” Jesus does not make it easy for any of us when He says
that. Even those who practice stewardship faithfully, even the best among
us, have times when they may turn their back on those in need. The Solemnity that we celebrate today is popularly known as Christ the King.
It is in Church terms relatively new. Instituted in 1921 by Pope Pius XI, it
was originally on the last Sunday of October. It was renamed in 1969 by
Pope Paul VI and moved to its present date, which is the last Sunday in the
liturgical year, the last Sunday before Advent. The edict issued by Pope Pius
XI in 1925 was called Quas Primas. It stated “It has long been a custom
to give to Christ the metaphorical title of ‘King.’ He is King of Hearts by
reason of His ‘charity which exceedeth all knowledge’.”
Today’s readings trace our Lord Jesus Christ from “the shepherd who tends
his flock” to the “first fruits” to the “king.” As stewards of His Word, His
Kingdom, and His Hope, He invites us to see Him in everyone we see and
everyone we encounter so that we can finally hear His glorious declaration,
“Come, you who are blessed by my Father.”

“Amen, les digo, lo que no hiciste por uno de estos más pequeños, no hiciste por mí.” Jesús no lo hace tan fácil para cualquiera de nosotros cuando
dice eso. Incluso aquellos que practican la corresponsabilidad fiel, incluso
los mejores de entre nosotros, tienen momentos en los que pueden dar la
espalda a aquellos que lo necesitan. La solemnidad que hoy celebramos es
conocido popularmente como Cristo Rey.
Es en términos relativamente nuevo de la Iglesia. Instituido en 1921 por el
Papa Pío XI, en su origen fue en el último domingo de octubre. Su nombre
se cambió en 1969 por el Papa Pablo VI y se cambió la fecha presente,
que es el último domingo del año litúrgico, el último domingo antes de
Adviento. El edicto emitido por el Papa Pío XI en 1925 fue llamado Quas
Primas. Declaró “Ha sido durante mucho tiempo una costumbre de dar a
Cristo el título metafórico de ‘Rey.’ Él es el Rey de Corazones por razón de
su propia ‘caridad, que excede todo conocimiento’.”
Las lecturas de hoy recorren a Nuestro Señor Jesucristo desde “el pastor
que cuida su rebaño” hacia los “primeros frutos” hacia el “rey.” Como administradores de Su Palabra, Su Reino, y su Esperanza, Él nos invita a verlo
en todos a quien veamos y a todos a quien nos encontremos para que por
fin podemos escuchar su declaración gloriosa, “Vengan, ustedes que son
bendecidos por mi Padre.”

Dear Parishioners and Friends of Our Lady of Fatima,/
Queridos parroquianos y amigos de Nuestra Señora de Fátima,
The Platform Lift Update
Informe el Ascensor
Many of you have inquired about the lift that was to be installed at my
apartment. It is finally installed and functioning well! We also had a
stair lift installed in the Parish Office and the work in the church
sanctuary to help me out when needed.
Muchos de ustedes han preguntado sobre el ascensor que iba a
ser instalado en mi apartamento.
Finalmente, se ha instalado y esta
funcionando bien! También tuvimos una silla de elevación instalada
en los escalones en la oficina parroquial y el trabajo en el santuario de
la iglesia para que me ayude cuando
sea necesario.
I want to thank everyone for their prayers and generosity in helping
to get this accomplished. As mentioned before I had concern about
spending too much from the parish savings to finish these projects,
but I knew God would supply. Between the Parishes in Need gift from
the diocese, the gift from parishioners at St. Mary’s, a little from an
estate gift, some from the For Christ Forever rebate, and the generous
gifts from all of you, nearly all was paid for before using our savings.
Thank you all again for helping to make my life a bit easier.
Confessions on Thursday
Just a reminder: I have moved up to the church building for the winter
months to listen to confessions on Thursdays from 7-8pm
God bless you all!
Fr. Jim
Quiero dar las gracias a todos por
sus oraciones y generosidad en ayudar a conseguir y llevar a cabo todo
esto. Como mencione antes tenía la preocupación de gastar demasiado de los ahorros de la parroquia para terminar estos proyectos, pero
yo sabía que Dios proveería. Entre el regalo de las Parroquias en Necesidad de la diócesis, el regalo de los feligreses de la parroquia Santa
Maria, un poco de un regalo de bienes y raíces, algo del reembolso
de Para Cristo Siempre, y los generosos regalos de todos ustedes, casi
todos fueron pagado antes de usar nuestros ahorros. Gracias a todos
nuevamente por ayudar en a hacer mi vida un poco más fácil.
Confesiones del jueves
Sólo un recordatorio: me movi a la iglesia por los meses de invierno
para escuchar las confesiones de los jueves de 7-8 pm
Dios los Bendiga a todos!

FOR FURTHER REFLECTION
The Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe
Each week, we will publish a few questions intended to
help you explore a particular theme in the Sunday’s readings. Use them for your personal reflection throughout
the week or as a topic of conversation at your dinner
table, ministry meeting or your next social gathering.
Carrying the Sunday readings into our week is a way to
In the first reading today, God is compared to the shepherd
who cares for his flock wherever they are, taking care of
every need. The shepherd seeks out the lost and forgotten
and heals the sick and injured. In Matthew’s gospel, Jesus
tells His disciples that to inherit the kingdom we must
imitate the shepherd in our care for the vulnerable.

Advent Wreath Gathering
& Blessing
NOVEMBER 30, 10AM /
MCGOWAN HALL
Advent begins on Sunday, November 30.
With all the preparations for Thanksgiving Day, it’s easy for the season of
Advent to sneak up on us. Yet, this
time of preparation is important. It’s a
time for us to get ready to more fully celebrate God, who came to us as one of us
and who continues to be present to us.
Next Sunday, November 30, we will light
the first of four candles on our parish
Advent wreath. At 10am, parish families
are invited to come to McGowan Hall
to assemble their own Advent wreath to
take home and continue the celebration
of the season. All materials including candles will be available. The
gathering will conclude prior to the 11am Mass with a blessing of the
wreaths. This gathering is for EVERYONE! Families with children,
couples and singles. Six children are needed to participate in the blessing ritual. Contact Denise Schnarr at [email protected] if you would like
to participate. Suggested wreath donation is $5.
October Mass Count 2014/
Conteo de Misas de Octubre 2014
Some of you may have noticed a person counting the people at Mass
during the month of October. We do this every October to gauge if
we are growing or shrinking or staying the same. We also send this
information to the Diocese, who combines it with the other parishes
and sends it to Rome.
Listed below are several years of data for Our Lady of Fatima. We attribute the steep decline to when construction on the new hall began.
We have steadily been growing since it was completed.
Algunos de ustedes pudieron haber notado una persona contando las
personas en la Misa durante el mes de octubre. Hacemos esto cada
mes de octubre para evaluar si estamos creciendo o disminuyendo o
se mantiene igual. También enviamos esta información a la Diócesis,
el cual se combina con las otras parroquias y se envía a Roma.
A continuación se enumeran varios años de datos de Nuestra Señora de Fátima. Atribuimos la fuerte caída que cuando comenzó la
construcción del nuevo salón parroquial. Nosotros constantemente
hemos estado creciendo desde que se completó.
