DID YOU KNOW?
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
Who should report child abuse?
Priests, deacons, school faculty and administrators and other staff
members in our parishes and schools have been designated as mandated reporters under California law. When one of these persons
receives information leading to a “reasonable suspicion” that a child is
being abused or neglected, he or she must make a report to the appropriate child protection or law enforcement agency. However, every adult has a moral responsibility to report suspected child abuse. For
a copy of the VIRTUS® article “How to Familiarize Yourself with
Policies and Procedures on Reporting Abuse,”

PARISH LIFE
7 PM
Advent is a time rich in family traditions. Many of them
have been so effectively absorbed into our culture that their
religious origins are hidden. Some of us will set candles in our
windows tonight. The custom began in Ireland during the socalled “penal” days, extending from 1691 to the “Catholic
Emancipation” in 1829 and beyond. There were harsh penalties
and fines for not attending the government church. Priests were
forced into hiding, but people were resourceful and determined
in guarding their faith. At Christmas, Irish families, particularly in the countryside, placed a lighted candle in the cottage
window and left the door unlatched, hoping that a priest might
come by and celebrate the Christmas Mass for them. The possibility of the Mass coming into the family home gave rise to other
Irish customs at the beginning of Advent. The cottage received a
fresh coat of whitewash, the threshold was swept especially
clean, and fresh curtains were hung in the windows. The house
was scrubbed until it gleamed, including all the pots and pans,
and all garments and table linens were laundered. The custom of
the Irish window candle was so admired in Catholic Europe that
it was widely copied there, and now finds a welcome in households that may not exactly expect a priest to wander in!

Life Line Community HealthCare
La Purisima Concepcion Catholic Church is pleased to offer
a preventive health event. Life Line Screening, a leading
provider of community-based preventive health screenings,
will host their affordable, non-invasive and painless health
screenings on 12/16/2015. Five screenings will be offered
that scan for potential health problems related to: blocked
arteries which is a leading cause of stroke; abdominal aortic
aneurysms which can lead to a ruptured aorta; hardening of
the arteries in the legs which is a strong predictor of heart
disease; atrial fibrillation or irregular heart beat which is
closely tied to stroke risk; and a bone density screening, for
men and women, used to assess the risk of osteoporosis.
Register for a Wellness Package which includes 4 vascular
tests and osteoporosis screening from $149 ($139 with our
member discount). All five screenings take 60-90 minutes

¿Quiénes deben reportar abuso infantil?
Bajo la ley del estado de California, todos los sacerdotes,
diáconos, profesores, administradores y empleados de nuestras parroquias y escuelas tienen la obligación de reportar abusos. Cuando alguna de estas personas recibe cualquier información que lleve a una “sospecha razonable” de que un menor
puede ser una víctima de abuso o negligencia, tiene la obligación de hacer un reporte ya sea a las autoridades civiles o a
agencias de protección de niños. Sin embargo, cada adulto
tiene la responsabilidad moral de reportar sospechas de abuso
infantil. Para más información sobre cómo responder a una
alegación o sospecha de abuso de niños,
