December 5 / 6, 2015
Dear Parishioners,
In the second week of Advent we have a full schedule of Marian Celebrations and the beginning of the
special Jubilee Year of Mercy. On Tuesday, December 8th, we celebrate the Solemnity of Mary, the
Immaculate Conception. Under this title, Mary is the patroness of the United States and also for our Redemptorist
Community. Because this feast day is so important to us and our spiritual journey, it is a Holy Day of Obligation. We will
have masses on Monday, December 7th at 7:00 PM and on Tuesday, December 8th at 12:00 noon and a bilingual Mass at 7:00
PM. On Friday, the Redemptorists celebrate the actual 150th anniversary when Pope Pius IX gave them the icon of Our Lady
of Perpetual Help and told them, “Make her known.” To celebrate this jubilee we will begin our weekly, Wednesday novena
service in honor of Our Mother of Perpetual Help following the 12:15 Mass on December 9th. On Saturday, we will celebrate
the feast day of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Under this title, Mary is the Patroness of the Americas. We will begin our festivities
at 10:00 AM in the pavilion with the rosary in Spanish and English followed by a procession to the Church. We will have the
Mass of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Spanish followed by presentations, folkloric dances, and traditional Hispanic foods in the
gym and the parish hall beginning around noon. Everyone is invited to participate in all or parts of the celebration.
As we honor “Mary, mother of mercy,” we also begin the YEAR OF MERCY. Seeing a great need for mercy and healing in
the world, Pope Francis called for the Year of Mercy—a special period, also known as a Holy Year or Jubilee Year, for the
Catholic Church. It is a time for the Church across the world to take almost a full year to focus on forgiveness and healing in
a special way. Pope Francis has also asked us as individuals and as a Church “to be a witness of mercy” by reflecting on and
practicing the spiritual and corporal works of mercy. Beginning December 8, 2015, the Holy Year of Mercy will focus on
studying and reflecting on mercy, receiving mercy, and being merciful towards others. To read more, visit the Vatican’s
official website for the Year of Mercy, http://www.iubilaeummisericordiae.va .
May this coming week as we celebrate Mary, the highly favored daughter of God and the one who was full of grace, and this
celebration of the Year of Mercy bring us many graces to strengthen us in following Jesus.
Diciembre 6
Queridos Feligreses,
Durante esta segunda semana de adviento tenemos un programa lleno de celebraciones Marianas y el
comienzo del año especial del Jubileo de la Misericordia. El martes 8 de diciembre, celebraremos la
Solemnidad de María, la Inmaculada Concepción. Bajo este título, María es la patrona de los Estados
Unidos y también de nuestra comunidad redentorista. Porque esta fiesta es tan importante para nosotros, es
un día de obligación para asistir a la misa. Tendremos las misas en la vigilia del lunes 7 de diciembre a las 7:00 PM, y el
martes 8 de diciembre a las 12:00 del mediodía, así como una misa bilingüe a las 7:00 PM. El viernes, los redentoristas
celebraran el 150 aniversario del día en que el Papa Pio IX les dio el icono de la Madre del Perpetuo Socorro y les dijo Denla
conocer. En honor de este aniversario, empezaremos el miércoles 9 de diciembre (que es también la memoria de San Juan
Diego), la novena a nuestra Madre del Perpetuo Socorro después de la misa de las 12:15 PM. y así cada miércoles. El sábado
celebraremos la fiesta de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe. Bajo este título, María es la patrona de las Américas. Empezamos
nuestra celebración con el rosario a las 10:00 AM en el pabellón. Y después tendremos una procesión al templo para la misa
solemne de La Virgen de Guadalupe. Después de la misa, en el gimnasio y el salón parroquial, tendremos la presentación de
la historia de las apariciones de María a San Juan Diego, bailes folclóricos y comida hispana. Todos son invitados a participar
en todo o en parte de las celebraciones.
Como honramos a María, madre misericordiosa, también empezamos el AÑO DE LA MISERICORDIA. Reconociendo una
necesidad para la misericordia y la sanación en el mundo, el Papa Francisco llamó para este Año de la Misericordia, un
tiempo especial de un Año Santo o un Año de Jubileo en la iglesia católica. Es un tiempo para que la iglesia en todo el
mundo, se tome casi un año para concentrarse de una manera especial en el perdón y en la sanación. El Papa Francisco
también nos llamóa nosotros como individuos y como la iglesia, a ser testigos de la misericordia con nuestras reflexiones y
con nuestra practica de las obras espirituales y corporales de misericordia. Comenzando el 8 de diciembre de 2015, el Año
Santo de la Misericordia va a concentrarse en el estudio y en la reflexión de la misericordia, recibiendo la misericordia y en
haciendo actos de misericordia hacia otros. Para leer más, visite el sitio oficial del Vaticano para el Año de la misericordia
http://www.iubilaeummisericordiae.va .
Espero que esta semana próxima, cuando celebraremos a María, hija de Dios muy favorecida y llena de gracia, que la
celebración del Año de la Misericordia nos rendirá muchas gracias para fortalecernos en el seguimiento a Jesús.

RELIGIOUS ED NEWS:
The 7th Grade Religious Ed class is preparing for the Year of
Mercy that begins on December 8th. In preparation for the Year of
Mercy Ms. Torok and Ms. Janus' 7th grade class read about Sister
Rosemary Nyirumbe. Time Magazine named Sister Rosemary one of
the 100 Most Influential People in the World in 2014. She was
honored for her healing work with young child mothers. Her
community, the Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, run a school in
Uganda. The 7th grade class is collecting pop tabs from cans of
soda. "People think pop tabs are trash and they throw them away,"
says Sister Rosemary. "I tell them 'Please, throw them away with
love. Send them to me." The young women in the school use the
pop tabs to make purses. The money earned from one handbag can
provide a woman and her child with a mattress, three daily meals, and
water for six month. The 7th grade class is asking for your
help. Please send us your pop tabs. One man’s trash is another man’s
treasure. You can drop the tabs off at the Church Office or put them
in an envelope labeled "7th Grade Class" and drop them in the
collection basket. This is a great way to perform some of the
corporal works of mercy without even leaving home.

NOTICIAS DE EDUCACIÓN RELIGIOSA: La clase de 7º
se esta preparando para el año de la misericordia que comienza el
8 de diciembre. En la preparación para el Año de la
Misericordia la clase de 7 º grado de Sra. Torok y Sra. leen
acerca de la hermana Rosemary Nyirumbe. La revista “Time”
nombro la hermana Rosemary como una de las 100 personas más
influyentes del mundo en 2014. Ella fue honrada por su trabajo
de sanación con las madres de niños pequeños. Su comunidad,
las hermanas del sagrado corazón de Jesús manejan una escuela
en Uganda. Esta clase está recolectando pop tabs (tapitas) de
latas de soda. "La gente piensa que esas tapas son basura y las
tiran a la basura," dice la hermana Rosemary. "Yo les digo, por
favor tírelos con amor. Envíelos a mi.” Las mujeres jóvenes en la
escuela utilizan estas tapitas para hacer bolsas. El dinero ganado
por un bolso puede permitir a una mujer y su hijo tener un
colchón, tres comidas diarias y agua para seis meses. El 7 º grado
está pidiendo su ayuda. Por favor envíanos sus tapas de sodas.
Basura de una persona, es tesoro para otra. Puede dejar las tapitas
en la oficina de la iglesia o ponerlos en un sobre marcado "7 º
grado" y en la canasta de la colecta. Esto es una gran manera de
realizar algunas de las obras de misericordia sin siquiera salir
de casa.

National Council of the United States,
Society of St. Vincent de Paul
Disaster Services Division
House In a Box® is the response from the National Society of St. Vincent de Paul to any natural disaster affecting families with loss
of household furnishings. The House In A Box® program (hereafter referred to as HIB®) provides new furniture which includes a
bed for every family member (with linens, pillows and bedspreads), up to two dressers, a sofa, a kitchen table with 4 chairs, kitchen
supplies to include dishes, pots and pans, glasses, and flatware, and bathroom supplies which include towels, washcloths, a shower
curtain with rings and a bathmat. There are currently 21 disasters being responded to by The National Society. Because of this, we are
ordering furniture from national manufacturers on a constant basis and are able to use this purchasing power to purchase the furniture
at a good price. The average cost of furniture for a family of four is approximately $1850- an excellent use of funding resources!
In order to purchase the furniture, money is being raised and warehouse space is being secured. Once warehouse space is secured and
$50,000.00 has been raised, we will order the first 25 kits of furniture from HIB®. Applications will be screened to see who is ready
to receive the furniture, and families who have been vetted will be called to pick up their furniture. This process will be continued
until every eligible family receives new furniture or we can no longer raise the funds necessary to continue. We are expecting this
project to continue for up to 18-24 months. Donations should be made out to “SVDP Charleston Diocesan Disaster Fund” and
mailed to the same address as the intake center-3512 Devine St., Columbia, SC 29205. You may also make a donation through PayPal
on either the website or Facebook page. All donations are tax deductible.
VETTING PROCESS FOR THOSE IN NEED: The first step is for families affected to come to the intake center at 3512 Devine
St. in Columbia, S.C. to complete an application for the program. Applications must be taken at the intake center because consent
forms for data exchange between agencies have to be signed in person. Applicants must have a FEMA number, a picture id, and must
be in need of the furniture (which will be verified with FEMA). The intake center will be open Monday-Thursday from 10-4 at least
through February, 2016. To verify we are open, call 803-254-7646. The days we will be closed during the upcoming holidays will be
posted on our website @ http:\\hibsjsp.blogspot.com or Facebook page-“HIB-scmidlandsfloodrelief”. This is an interfaith endeavor
with volunteers from many denominations participating at each level of relief. If you have any questions, please contact Marilyn Gray
at 803-730-1241, [email protected] or Russ Jones @ 803-254-7647, [email protected]. Anyone wishing to volunteer
may also contact Russ Jones.
*No good or services were provided in exchange for this donation and all donations are tax deductible according to IRS codes for 501 c3 organizations.
