Mark Your Calendar New Parishioner Orientation, Wednesday, May 20th 6:15 pm Spanish 7:00 pm English Social Hall Reconciliation Service, Wednesday June 3rd 7:00 pm Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, Friday, June 5th 5:30 PM - 6:30 PM Reconciliation Service, Saturday June 6th 8:00 am Baptism Information Meeting, Saturday, June 6th 9:30 AM Room L-4 Sisters and brothers at St. Catherine of Alexandria I believe that many of you still live in the good spirit of the Holy Week. Whenever I come into the Church, my mind still sees the blessed faces of the first communicants who received the Body and Blood of Jesus for the first time. I also see the angelic smiles of the children who walked hand in hand with their mothers into the Church, holding the lit candle on Easter night, and of course, I will never forget the sound of the bells when all of us sang “Glory to God” during our Easter Vigil Mass. These many well prepared ceremonies -such as the blessing of the fire, the procession, the baptism, - are good paths for all of us to prepare for the coming of the Holy Spirit. Pentecost is not just the coming of the Holy Spirit upon the Church on one Sunday. But rather, it is the blessing of the Holy Spirit upon each and every one of us throughout the season. Here, I have to say thanks to God, to you for your participation, and to the members of the Liturgy committee who prepared and planned the events in Lent and Holy Week so beautifully. All of these activities have reflected your response to the survey of the transition team when you said you wanted to focus more on spirituality. With these strong recommendations from you and with Pope Francis’ teachings we all should now focus more on evangelization to the family, and with the coming of the jubilee year of mercy Pope Francis emphasized: “We need constantly to contemplate the mystery of mercy. It is a wellspring of joy, serenity and peace,” I want to share with you my vision on how to increase spirituality and growth in faith: Church catechesis prior to Mass, more time for confession, Eucharistic adoration, evangelization through the bulletin, etc…these are all the signs of this vision. I am grateful to those who come early to Church to attend the Church catechesis. Soon, information of the youth ministry, including a youth mass will be announced. Priests, who are familiar with youth ministry and youth Mass, will be invited to our parish. However, youth ministry is not limited only to Mass. It is the invitation and the ministry to the non-registered families and to those who are not familiar with the activities of the Church. Together with this plan, the formation of the children in the faith formation program will be improved more. The new plan for the catechism schedule as the diocese required is now implemented. We will provide workshops to the parents who are the primary teachers of the children as it is a part of the whole catechesis’ program. “The more we know, the more we love.” We do not only know the beauty of our art in the Church, we should know the biblical and theological meaning of it as well. We do not only do the liturgical rites as the Church taught, we also must understand why we do it. And in this respect I believe all of you received the flier “The Art in Our Church.” It was sent few months ago to all registered members to give some of this explanation. In addition to these spiritual needs, improvement of the traffic flow and of the sound system are recognized. As you see, we just re-finished the kneelers and the pews. We will stencil the numbers of the Station of the Cross on the white pillars under each station. Our church now looks very good and I want to invite you to help our Church be a good looking place for many years to come. Please, do not let the children nor anyone damage that beauty by scratching the kneelers or the pews. Do not allow anyone to damage the Hall or our facilities. It is your Church and any damage will have to be repaired…and remember…it is your money used for these repairs. To assist these plans, recently, a new committee was formed. Many good and talented leaders are serving in the DDF (Diocesan Development Fund) committee. They are planning activities both for the parish and to raise fund for these missions and for the general needs of our Church. Finally, I am grateful to many volunteers and ministers who are serving in different ministries to help our parish. Soon the ministries council will be formed, and we can strengthen the activities of all ministries even more. Once again, with much gratitude, I thank you very much for your support. Together we will build up God’s kingdom…and together we will make this parish more beautiful. Your brother in Christ Fr. Anthony Dao Pastor 2015 DDF Assessments: ST.

Cada vez que entro en la Iglesia, mi mente todavía ve las caras benditas de los primeros comulgantes que recibieron el Cuerpo y la Sangre de Jesús por primera vez. También veo las sonrisas angelicales de los niños que caminaban de la mano con sus madres a la Iglesia, sosteniendo la vela encendida en la noche de Pascua, y por supuesto, nunca olvidaré el sonido de las campanas cuando todos nosotros cantábamos “Gloria a Dios “durante nuestra Misa de la Vigilia Pascual. Estas ceremonias bien preparadas -como la bendición del fuego, la procesión, del bautismo, -. Son buenos caminos para todos nosotros para prepararse para la venida del Espíritu Santo. Pentecostés no es sólo la venida del Espíritu Santo sobre la Iglesia en un domingo. Pero más bien, es la bendición del Espíritu Santo sobre todos y cada uno de nosotros durante toda la temporada. Aquí, tengo que dar las gracias a Dios, para que por su participación, así como a los miembros del comité de liturgia que prepararon y planearon los acontecimientos de la Cuaresma y la Semana Santa tan bellamente. Todas estas actividades han reflejado su respuesta a la encuesta del equipo de transición cuando dijeron que querían centrarse más en la espiritualidad. Con estas fuertes recomendaciones de ustedes y con las enseñanzas del Papa Francis ahora todos deberíamos centrarnos más en la evangelización de la familia, y con la llegada del año jubilar de la misericordia el Papa Francisco enfatizó: “. Necesitamos constantemente contemplar el misterio de la misericordia es una fuente de alegría, serenidad y paz” Quiero compartir con ustedes mi visión sobre la forma de aumentar la espiritualidad y el crecimiento en la fe: Catequesis en la Iglesia antes de la misa, más tiempo para confesiones, la Adoración de la Eucarística, la evangelización a través del boletín, etc.... estos son todos los signos de esta visión. Agradezco a los que vienen temprano a la iglesia para asistir a la catequesis de la Iglesia. Pronto, se dará a conocer la información de la pastoral juvenil, incluyendo una misa juvenil. Los sacerdotes, que están familiarizados con la pastoral juvenil y la juventud, serán invitados a nuestra parroquia. Sin embargo, el ministerio de jóvenes no sólo se limita a misa. Es la invitación y a los ministerios y a las familias no registradas y a los que no están familiarizados con las actividades de la Iglesia. Junto con este plan, la formación de los niños en el programa de formación en la fe se mejorará más. El nuevo plan para el programa de catequesis ya requerido por la diócesis ahora se ha implementado. Vamos a ofrecer talleres a los padres que son los primeros maestros de los niños, ya que es una parte del programa de toda la catequesis ». “Cuanto más sabemos, más nos gusta.” No sólo conocemos la belleza de nuestra arte en la Iglesia y también conocemos el significado bíblico y teológico. No sólo hacemos los ritos litúrgicos como la Iglesia enseña, también tenemos que entender por qué lo hacemos. Y en este sentido creo que todos ustedes recibieron el folleto “El arte en nuestra Iglesia”. Se envió hace unos meses para todos los usuarios registrados para dar algo de esta explicación. Además de estas necesidades espirituales, hemos mejorado la fluidez del tráfico y el sistema de sonido como lo pueden notar. Volvimos a retocar las bancas y Vamos a numerar las estaciones de la Cruz en los pilares blancos debajo de cada estación. Nuestra iglesia ahora se ve muy bien y quiero invitarlos a ayudar a mantenerla para que sea un lugar atractivo y nos dure muchos años. . Por favor, no deje que los niños o otras personas hagan daño a nuestra casa de oración. Es importante cuidar que nadie raye las bancas o manche los reclinatorios, No permita que nadie dañe nuestras instalaciones. Es tu Iglesia y cualquier daño que se haga se debe de reparar… Recuerda, que todo cuesta dinero, y es utilizado para estas reparaciones. Para ayudar a estos planes, recientemente, se formó un nuevo comité. Muchos líderes buenos y talentosos están sirviendo en el comité FDD (Fondo de Desarrollo Diocesano). Están planeando actividades tanto para la parroquia y para recaudar fondos para estas misiones y las necesidades generales de nuestra Iglesia. Por último, agradezco a la cantidad de voluntarios y ministros que están sirviendo en diferentes ministerios para ayudar a nuestra parroquia. Pronto se formara el consejo de ministros, y podemos fortalecer las actividades de todos los ministerios aún más. Una vez más, con mucha gratitud, les agradezco mucho por su apoyo. Juntos vamos a construir el reino de Dios... y juntos vamos a hacer esta parroquia más hermosa.

Both Matthias and Barsabbas were artists, so St. Peter decided on a contest. He divided the upper room where the community gathered for worship with a curtain, giving half to each man to decorate as he saw fit. The community would declare the winner and Judas’ successor. Barsabbas, a painter, sent for his brushes and a rich assortment of paints. All week long he painted lovely scenes of Jesus preaching, teaching, healing, casting out demons. His brush captured the parables, illuminating them. Matthias, a stonecutter and polisher, also toiled all week behind his curtain. People could hear only his humming and soft singing. The day came and the people entered Barsabbas’ half of the church. They broke into applause at his artistry. The uses of color were magnificent. They found themselves depicted in his paintings. They were delighted. Peter became worried. How could Matthias’ work possibly compete with this? But he went over to the curtain and turned it back. Silence filled the room as people turned to see what Matthias had done. His work had been to polish the stone walls of the chapel’s other half, allowing people to see themselves as never before. The walls shone like mirrors and every person was given a sense of the beauty of Christ shining within them, a glimpse of the divine spark each one carried within. And so Matthias was chosen to replace Judas. He had revealed Christ by revealing Christ’s followers to themselves. —James A. Wallace, C.Ss.R.
