The Feast of All Soul’s is one of those handful of feasts
that “bumps” a Sunday. That means that the Church considers it quite important. And so do we. I can recall as a
child going into the church three times on All Souls Day.
Each time I’d say an Our Father, a Hail Mary, and a Glory
Be. I’d make sure to “go to Confession” within a week. I did
that because we were told that was the way to get a Plenary
Indulgence to get one of the Poor Souls into heaven.
I have no idea if it is really that easy. I do know
that it is good to pray for those who have gone before us. It
is good for them and for us. I do know that the soul lives on
after death. I do know that at the end of time in the Resurrection of the Dead we will all be together again. This time
with bodies glorified by having participated in the Resurrection. Finally, I do know that our faith can take at least some
of the sting out of death.
Today is also a time to express our gratitude to our
fellow parishioners who make the funeral an occasion for
the Parish to minister to the Family. Thanks to the Funeral
Choir, Heavenly Kitchen, Deacons, and Jonathan Alexander. I think we minister well and lovingly to these families.
Last Sunday Mary Richter, our coordinator of
RCIA, received a Certificate in the Lay Pastoral Ministry
Program. Every time someone like Mary achieves an educational milestone I am humbled. All my serious study was
done with no major responsibilities in life except to study.
That was true for eight years of College and Seminary as
well as my intensive studies of Spanish. Mary and others
achieve these things in the midst of family and ministry and/
or work commitments. Incidentally, it is worth mentioning
that both St. Joseph and St. Peter in Chains utilize our
RCIA. Congratulations, Mary!
READINGS FOR THIS WEEK
Readings for the Week of November 2, 2014
Administrative action on deportation relief
has been pledged for “after the November
elections”. The Bishops Conference is sponsoring “call-in days” from Nov. 5 through Nov.
13. That is from the day after the national
general elections to the Feast of St. Frances of
Cabrini, the patroness of immigrants (Nov.
13th). The toll-free number to use to call the
White House is 1-855-589-5698 and our message is simple: Protect as many immigrants
and their families as possible from deportation. If you are concerned for the fate of many
of your fellow parishioners, make the call.

The St. Peter in Chains 6th Annual Walk-a-Thon,
BE ALL YOU CAN BE, took place on Friday, October 10. All
students grades Kindergarten through 8th grade took part in this
fun and exciting day! Everyone had a great time walking, performing fitness activities and learning about the importance of exercise
and a healthy lifestyle. Teachers, parents, grandparents and
friends also joined the fun!
Through the generous support of community sponsors, family
and friends, and also the parishioners of St. Julie Billiart and
St. Peter in Chains, the BE ALL YOU CAN BE campaign raised
nearly $41,000! This incredible amount directly supports all students and help to fund improvements for our school. Just this
summer, a multipurpose gym floor was installed using partial funds
from past Walk-a-Thons. We are truly blessed to have received so
many donations from those who believe in the students at St. Peter in Chains School and also in the importance of Catholic education! We appreciate it!
Please watch the vestibules in upcoming weeks for displays thanking our corporate sponsors and please support them throughout
the year, as they have been so kind with their support of this event!
Thanks to all who donated, walked, volunteered and kept our students in their prayers. This event could not be successful without
the help of all of you!

“Virtual Lourdes Pilgrimage” and would like to
share them for publication in the bulletin or

ROSARY DEVOTION IN PREPARATION FOR
FEASTS OF OUR LADY OF
GUADALUPE & CHRISTMAS
Mexican families have the tradition of
praying the rosary with family and friends
each evening prior to the great feasts of Our
Lady of Guadalupe (Dec. 12) and Christmas. It is done in their homes before an image of Our Lady of Guadalupe. The image
travels each day from family to family. We
want to invite English-speaking parishioners to participate in
this by being with a family in their home any evening from November 26 through Dec. 20. You can pray along in either English or Spanish. If you would like to pray in Spanish, we can
give you a CD with the rosary prayers in Spanish to practice.
Let Tami Urcia or Fr. Mike know of your interest and which
day(s) you would like to participate. We will call the host family
and tell them to expect you. We will give you the family’s
names, address, and phone number. We hope many families
will take advantage of this great opportunity to participate in a
multicultural experience of devotion and tradition!

TODOS LOS FIELES DIFUNTOS
LEER: Sabiduría 3:1-9, Salmo 27,
Romanos 5:5-11, Juan 11:17-27
El Día de Muertos: Origen y Simbolismo
El culto a la muerte en México no es algo nuevo, pues
ya se practicaba desde fechas próximas al año 1800
a.C. Los evangelizadores cristianos de tiempos
coloniales aceptaron en parte las tradiciones de los
antiguos pueblos para poder implantar el cristianismo
entre dichos pueblos. Los orígenes de la celebración
del Día de Muertos en México son anteriores a la
llegada de los españoles. Los rituales que celebran la
vida de los ancestros se realizan en las antiguas
civilizaciones por lo menos desde hace tres mil años.
Cuando llegaron a América los españoles en el siglo
XVI trajeron sus propias celebraciones del Día de
Muertos cristianas y europeas, donde se recordaba a
los muertos en el Día de Todos los Santos. Al convertir
a los nativos del nuevo mundo se dio lugar a un
sincretismo que mezcló las tradiciones europeas y
prehispánicas, haciendo coincidir las festividades
católicas del Día de todos los Santos (Nov 1) y Todas
las Almas (Nov 2) con el festival similar
mesoamericano, creando el actual Día de Muertos.
Otros elementos influirían en la evolución de las
actuales costumbres del Día de Muertos; por ejemplo,
en el centro del país, las epidemias que durante siglos
azotaron a la Ciudad de México llevaron a la creación
de cementerios fuera de la ciudad y fue hasta 1961 que
el gobierno se encargo de los entierros. Así mismo
hacia 1859 se consolidó la costumbre de adornar las
tumbas con flores y velas, visitar los panteones los días
1 y 2 de noviembre.
El Pan de Muerto: El pan es una representación de
la eucaristía y fue agregado por los evangelizadores
españoles. Es un panecillo dulce que se hornea en
diferentes figuras, desde simples formas redondas
hasta cráneos, adornado con figuras del mismo pan en
forma de hueso, se le espolvorea azúcar y se elabora
con anís.
Las Calaveras de Dulce: tienen escritos el nombre
del difunto en la frente, son consumidas por parientes o
amigos.

El 7 de diciembre durante
la misa de 1:00 habrá una
bendición de las mamás
embarazadas para
bendecir a la creatura en
el vientre. Después de
misa habrá un pequeño
convivio con merienda.
Las Flores: Durante el período del 1 al 2 de noviembre las familias normalmente limpian y decoran
las tumbas con coloridas coronas de flores de rosas,
girasoles, entre otras, pero principalmente de cempsúchitl, las cuales se cree atraen y guían las almas de los
muertos.
Retrato de la persona recordada: El retrato del difunto sugiere el ánima que los visitará la noche del 2 de
noviembre. Dicha imagen honra la parte más alta del
altar. Se coloca de espaldas y frente a ella se coloca un
espejo para que el difunto solo pueda ver el reflejo de
sus deudos y estos vean a su vez únicamente al difunto.
Doce cirios: Aunque pueden ser menos, tienen que
ser en pares, y preferiblemente de color morado, con
coronas y flores de cera. Los cirios, sobre todo si son
morados, son señal de duelo. Los cuatro cirios en cruz
representan los cuatro puntos cardinales, de manera
que el ánima pueda orientarse hasta encontrar su camino y su casa aparte de agua y sal.
Comida: Se coloca el alimento tradicional o el que
era del agrado de los fallecidos se coloca para que el
alma lo disfrute.
Cruz: Utilizada en la mayoría de los altares, es un símbolo introducido por los evangelizadores españoles,
con el fin de incorporar el catecismo a una tradición tan
arraigada entre los indígenas, como la veneración de
los muertos. Para recordarle su fe, ya que el Miércoles
de Ceniza se le dice la frase: "Recuerda que polvo eres
y en polvo te convertirás", con lo que se le recuerda
que regresa a la tierra de la que salió. La cruz va en la
parte superior del altar a un costado de la imagen del
difunto y esta puede ser de sal, ceniza, tierra o cal.
