Our beautiful second church dedicated in
1960. We were established as a parish in 1927.
However, regular Sunday Masses began in Covina
in 1909. Our first permanent church was opened
in 1911. The story of our faith presence in this area
begins in 1771 with the founding of the San Gabriel
Mission; five years before the American Revolution.

Eucharistic Adoration
Every first Friday of the month Sacred Heart
Parish has Eucharistic Adoration following the
8:15 mass and continuing until the 5:30pm
mass.
Canon Law 942 specifically states: “that this
kind of exposition is to be held only if a
suitable gathering of the faithful is foreseen
and the established norms are observed.”
Therefore beginning in July a sign-up sheet will
be provided in the vestibule of the church for
those who wish to insure that someone is
always present during the exposition. If
however, “suitable” signups are not
experienced it may be necessary to have this
beautiful adoration experience stopped.
Deacon Ron has agreed to maintain this signup posting and place it in a suitable place. For
further information contact him at 626-347-7673
Bulletin Announcement Deadline
All announcements for the bulletin must be
submitted no later than noon on Tuesday.
Announcements may be dropped off to the Parish
Center, faxed to (626) 967-4884 or emailed to

happy to respond. The First Saturday tradition will resume in

foods. Thank you!

clothing (freshly laundered, please), toys, childrens’
books, cookware, paint, hardware, tools, furniture
and small appliances. They are especially in need of
blankets, school supplies and hygiene products. You

Religious Ed/ Youth Ministry News :
RELIGIOUS EDUCATION NEWS:
Our Religious Education classes have come
to an end for the 2015 - 2016 school year, and
we extend a special thank you to the many
volunteers who have made it all possible by
sharing their time, talents, and love of God with
the youth of our parish. We have been blessed
by their dedication, loyalty, and kindness. They
have shown what it means to be a true Christian,
by responding to the call to bring God’s love and
good news to our youth. Without their help we
could not have survived! Thank you for blessing
our parish with your ministry. If you would like
to volunteer for this very important ministry,
please contact the Religious Education Office at
626-331-7914.
We also would like to extend our thanks
to the parents/guardians for allowing us the
opportunity to work with you as a partner in the
faith formation of your children. Teaching your
children about their faith has been a privilege.
Although our Religious Education has come to an
end for this session, religious formation in the
home has no season. Children’s faith will
continue to grow strong through the summer
months ahead in family prayer, weekly Mass
attendance, play, and service to others. Please
do not neglect to re-register your children for
our fall program. Attending classes regularly is a
significant part of your child’s faith development
and helps them to develop a deeper
understanding of his/her relationship to our Lord
and our faith community. Registration

THE LORD OF LIFE
At this bountiful time of year, our Sunday readings
teem with life and abundance. Both the first reading, from
the book of Wisdom, and the Gospel passage from Mark
assure us that God did not make death or even will us to
be ill. Illness and death entered the world through the
presence of evil, the Wisdom author tells us. Mark’s
stories of Jesus healing a hemorrhaging woman and
resuscitating a dead little girl make it clear that Jesus is
from God. As the Son of God he does not will that anyone
suffer illness or death. In the face of such power, the
second reading, from Paul’s Second Letter to the
Corinthians, provides a stark contrast. Jesus, who could
raise the dead to new life, “though he was rich, for your
sake he became poor” (2 Corinthians 8:9). Our gift of new
life from Christ demands our response in charity.
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
The premier poet of the English language, Geoffrey
Chaucer, introduced one of his most beloved characters,
the “Wife of Bath,” by this telling remark: “Husbands at
church door she had five.” Four times widowed, she was
setting off on a pilgrimage, notably without number five.
The church door is a curious detail, pointing to the
fourteenth-century wedding custom of marrying on the
porch of the parish church. The goal was to give
maximum publicity to the consent of the groom and bride,
and so consent was moved from the bride’s home to a
public venue. The priest would stand in the doorway and
begin by sprinkling the couple with holy water. He
needed to make sure they weren’t too closely related and
give them some instruction. He would direct the groom to
pay the bride’s family a dowry, and then announce the
monetary amounts to the interested passersby. Only then
would the guests enter the church for the wedding Mass,
during which the bride and groom would hold lighted
candles. The gradual move from home to church and the
shift from the bride’s father to the priest’s authority
helped to protect the freedom of brides who weren’t quite
as confident as the Wife of Bath.

DID YOU KNOW?
By teaching “total body safety” we further
efforts to stop abuse
Parents and caregivers should stress that a
child’s entire body is private and be watchful of
adults who might be “grooming” a child by
constantly tickling, kissing, or hugging them. A
child will often tell a parent he or she does not
want to hug or kiss someone – and parents
should listen and respect their wishes. By
teaching “total body safety” to adults, children,
and young people, we are furthering our efforts
to stop abuse and to make the world a safer place
for all of God’s children.

DO NOT LEAVE VALUABLES IN YOUR CAR
DO NOT LEAVE IN PEW
Dear Friends,
We are blessed to live in a beautiful community and our
two local cities of Covina and West Covina are safe
neighborhoods with little crime and good neighbors.
However there are always a few problems; because of that
sad reality I must remind you to:
Please NEVER leave any valuables visible in your car
and NEVER let anyone see you storing them under your seat or in the trunk for example (store
them safely out of site before you leave home).
And please NEVER leave your purse or any valuables
in the pews even when you come up for
Communion.
During a recent two month period: we had one report of a
lady who left her purse in the pew during Communion,
only to return and find it missing. Also during the same
period a car was broken into (window shattered) and a lap
top taken just minutes after the driver hid it under the seat.
Please be very careful here & everywhere. God bless you.
Father Bill, Pastor

The Sacred Heart Conference of the Society of St.Vincent de
Paul invites you to join it in silent works of charity:
Quietly, discreetly aiding needy families.
Personal visits to homes, hospitals, and institutions.
Seeking and serving the distressed.
Growing spiritually through a gift of self to others.
The purpose of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul is to fulfill
the two great Commandments-love of God and love of neighbor. We seek out God’s needy, both materially and spiritually,
and help where we can. No need is too great or too small.
If you feel you are called to this ministry, please join us at
our next meeting.

LECTURAS DE HOY
Primera lectura — Por envidia del diablo entró la muerte en el mundo (Sabiduría 1:13-15; 2:23-24).
Salmo — Te alabaré, Señor, eternamente
(Salmo 30 [29]).
Segunda lectura — Que la abundancia de ustedes remedie la necesidad de sus hermanos pobres
(2 Corintios 8:7, 9, 13-15).
Evangelio — ¡Oyeme, niña, levántate! (Marcos 5:21-43
[5:21-24, 35b-43]).
EL SEÑOR DE LA VIDA
En este tiempo tan fecundo del año nuestras lecturas
dominicales rebosan con vida y abundancia. Tanto la
primera lectura, del libro de la Sabiduría, como la tercera
del Evangelio de san Marcos nos aseguran que Dios no
creó la muerte, ni quiere que suframos de ninguna
enfermedad. Fue por la envidia del diablo que la muerte
entró al mundo, según nos dice el Sabio. Y lo que san
Marcos nos cuenta sobre la curación de la hemorroisa y
cómo revivió la hija de Jairo nos muestran claramente que
Jesús viene de Dios. Como Hijo de Dios, Jesús no quiere
que nadie sufra enfermedad ni muerte. Pero en el contexto
de tanto poder, la segunda lectura, de la segunda carta de
san Pablo a los corintios, nos presenta un fuerte contraste.
Jesús, que puede levantar a los muertos a una nueva vida,
“siendo rico se hizo pobre por ustedes” (2 Corintios 8:9).
Así pues, la nueva vida que recibimos como regalo de
Cristo exige una respuesta: nuestra caridad.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Muchos hispanos que vivimos en Estados Unidos
somos personas bilingües. Podemos leer la Palabra de
Dios en inglés o español. Por ejemplo, el texto de Juan
21:15-19, en el que Jesús le pregunta a Pedro si lo ama. El
texto en inglés nos dice que Jesús le pregunta tres veces:
Peter, do you love me? Pedro le responde: Lord, you
know that I love you, mientras que en español le dice:
“Señor, tú sabes que te quiero”.
La diferencia es casi imperceptible, pero importante.
El texto original fue escrito en griego y usaba dos
palabras que significan amor, ágape (amor que se
sacrifica) y fileo (amor fraterno). En inglés, Jesús y Pedro
usan la misma palabra, love, mientras en español Jesús
dos veces pregunta por “amor”, y Pedro responde con
“querer”. La tercera vez, Jesús se acopla a Pedro y sólo
pregunta en torno al “querer”, reconociendo que en ese
momento, Pedro no puede darle más que eso. Jesús le
asegura que algún día Pedro sería capaz del amor ágape
entregando su vida por él. Jesús se acopla a nosotros
pidiendo lo que le podemos dar y ayudándonos a crecer
hasta que podamos darle toda nuestra vida.

¿SABÍA USTED?
Cuando enseñamos “seguridad corporal total”, ayudamos a disminuir los abusos
Los padres y otros adultos responsables de los
niños deben enseñarles que sus cuerpos son
privados. Deben también, estar en alerta con los
adultos que puedan estar “preparando” a un niño,
haciéndole cosquillas constantemente, besándolo
o abrazándolo. Normalmente los niños les dicen
a sus padres si no quieren abrazar o darle un beso
a alguien, y los padres deben escuchar y respetar
los deseos de sus hijos. Al enseñar “seguridad
corporal total” los adultos, jóvenes y niños, estamos avanzando en nuestros esfuerzos por detener
el abuso sexual infantil, haciendo del mundo un
lugar más seguro para todos los hijos de Dios.
