Sacred Heart Church Closure!
Dear People of God,
It's time to be Irish again on March 17th and 18th!!! I
can't believe it's almost time for the festival to happen
again. We need many volunteers to make this festival fun,
unifying, and successful for the Parish. It is essential to know
that all parishioners are called to help us with this event.
Please contact us if you have special talents, have ideas, or
would like to just help with the process of the festival. Look
deeper within the bulletin for further details.
No matter what culture we come from one of the
many unifying things that make us Catholic is our belief in
the true presence of Jesus in the Eucharist.
Here are a few things to reflect on:
1. Many folks come to the Church who are not Catholic and
may not know what we believe about Eucharist. For those
who are not Catholic, or not prepared to receive can cross
their arms over the front of themselves and we will be happy
to give you a Holy Blessing. We offer classes to bring folks
into the Church. Call us if you need information.
2. All those receiving should receive the Host in front of the
Eucharistic Minister. It is not proper to take Jesus away from
the front of the Church without receiving. It is the
responsibility of all Eucharistic Minsters to make sure all
Host are received and that it is shown respect.
3. All those receiving should proclaim an "Amen" after the
EM offers the Host or Wine to the Person. This is to show
that you believe and are open to the many graces available in
this sacrament.
4.We as Catholics believe in the true presence of Jesus in the
Eucharist. Believing that we are receiving His Body and His
Blood for our salvation and the salvation of the whole
world. With this in mind, make sure to keep a respectful
awareness that the Eucharist is kept within the tabernacle in
the front of the Church. Genuflect and show respect to the
presence of our Lord.
Parishioners and visitors, please take notice!
Sacred Heart Church,14th & Broadway will be
closed for renovations.
Monday, February 13th - Sunday, February 26th.
7:30 am Mass will be held at St. Mary's
Cathedral Basilica, 21st & Church
11am mass is moved to St. Patrick Church,
1010 35th street.
There will be no services at Sacred Heart.
With all this in mind, make sure to prepare yourself for the
great gift of the Eucharist. Have a clean prepared heart so
that all God's graces can shower upon you in this great
sacrament. I know that you and I may not understand this
great mystery but God has promised us that he will help us
experience His love and mercy!!! The good news still is that
this love and mercy is for us all!!!
May God bless you with His abundant love,
Fr. Orrin

Queridos hermanos en Cristo,
Hoy les quiero compartir un poco sobre lo que nos corresponde a
cada uno de nosotros como hijos e hijas de Dios. Nuestro Papa
Francisco nos ha comentado sobre la mundanidad espiritual en la
“Alegría del Evangelio”, 93-98. El nos deja saber que cuando
buscamos la gloria humana y bienestar personal, no estamos buscando
la gloria del Señor. Estamos buscando nuestros propios intereses y no
los de Cristo. Por fuera todo parece correcto cuando estamos con el
cuidado de la apariencia y tenemos que resistir esto. Nuestra misión
tiene que ser centrada en Jesucristo. Todos pertenecemos a la Iglesia y
no a tal o cual grupo que se siente diferente o especial. Hay que decir
no a la mundanidad espiritual, no estar centrados en nosotros mismos,
y no escondernos en una apariencia religiosa vacía de Dios.
Aquí en esta comunidad somos los del “Si”. En unas pocas
Imagen en la Capilla de La Virgen de Guadalupe
semanas vamos a tener una oportunidad de ensenar lo poderoso que somos cuando trabajamos juntos
en apoyando la parroquia de la Sagrada Familia.
Una Cosita más sobre el Evangelio de Hoy
La santidad si es alcanzable para todos los cristianos. No es solo destinado a unos
cuantos privilegiados. Estamos todos llamados a ser santos. La Santidad proviene de Dios. El
nos da la fuerza necesaria par vivirla. “Ustedes, pues, sean perfectos, como su Padre celestial
es perfecto.” Mt 5:48
Que dios me los bendiga.
Su servidor,
Diacono Juan Carrillo
