We look forward to meeting you. Blessings, Dcn. Pat Necerato, Pastoral Associate Isabell Vargas Jim McCarthy Patricia Pedersen Emmanuel Lopez Marc Wright Stacy Gibbons Edna Shaba Paul Fitzpatrick Bobbi Martinez Ascencion Marin Gabriella Stumetz Elias Sabbara Natalie Shaba Francisca Soto Mary McClintock Herbert Hermreck Juanita Tarango Mary Anne Hague Irene Marin There will be a Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary Ceremony at all Masses during the weekend of October 10 & 11, 2015. This will be a brief ceremony and all are invited to make this Consecration of our Parish and ourselves. Following every Mass will be a Holy Anointing of the Sick also. The whole parish and any individual member of the parish may consecrate (entrust) themselves to Our Blessed Mother. This holds much power spiritually. When we ask Mary to be our Mother by consecrating/entrusting ourselves to her, we place ourselves under her care and protection, and allow her to embrace us even more closely. In doing this we are following the example of Jesus himself. After all, He was the first person to entrust himself to her. St. John Paul II explains, “for it must be recognized that before anyone else it was God himself, the Eternal Father, who entrusted himself to the Virgin of Nazareth, giving her his own Son in the mystery of the Incarnation” (Redemptoris Mater, 39). The essence of Marian Consecration is to give Mary our “Yes.” We are saying: “I give you permission to use all your motherly wisdom and power to form me and each member of my family, group or ministry into another Christ” (Fr. Michael Gaitly, MIC). “My children, with whom I am again in labor until Christ is formed in you” (Gal 4:19; see also Ephesians 4:13). This motherhood of Mary is not some vague or abstract sort of thing. It’s concrete and personal. And even though it is universal, it’s also intensely personal. Mary is your mother. She is my mother. Mary is uniquely, particularly, personally your mother and my mother, and she doesn’t lose us in the crowd...And as a mother, just like at the Wedding Feast of Cana (John 2:1-12), she wishes the power of her Son to be manifested so her maternal task is to point out to us those things which must be done for this to happen. At Fatima, The Blessed Mother said “The Lord wishes to establish devotion to my Immaculate Heart in the world. If what I say is done, many souls will be saved and there will be peace.” It is our belief that this consecration will only deepen our love for Jesus, lead to conversion, and bring much peace to ourselves as individuals and to the entire Parish community. Let's always remember the words of Saint Maximilian Kolbe “Never be afraid of loving the Blessed Virgin too much. You can never love her more than Jesus did.” Thanks and we look forward to your consecration. Blessings, Dcn. Pat Prayer of Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary Heavenly Mother Mary, refuge of sinners, we come to you today to offer ourselves to you and consecrate our lives and our Parish, St. Catherine of Alexandria, to your Immaculate Heart. In this consecration we offer you our bodies and souls with all the weaknesses of our human nature. We offer you our hearts with all affections and desires, our prayers, works, joys and our sufferings. We offer you every temptation that comes to us and to our parish so that all our thoughts and desires may be purified through your holy intercession. Our Queen and our Mother, we offer you in consecration all sufferings which come into our lives, both physical and spiritual. We offer you especially our death with all that will accompany it. Please accept all this, Blessed Mother, and take all into your Immaculate Heart as we give to you irrevocably all that we are and all that we have, together with all our possessions. We offer you our families and all who are near and dear to us. Take them all into your Immaculate Heart and keep us forever in the presence of your Son Jesus. We renew today the vows of our Baptism and Confirmation. Keep us ever faithful to God and to our Holy Church, and loyal in obedience to the Holy Father, our Pope, our Bishop and our Pastor. Our desire is to participate in the Sacrifice of Holy Mass and receive Him frequently. We attach special importance to the first Saturday of the month in reparation to your Immaculate Heart and we will work for the conversion of sinners. We will strive to live daily the spirit of Eucharist in all we do. O Queen of the Angels, we will always honor you as Queen of Heaven and Earth. Send the Angels to keep us always in your love and in the union of grace with your Divine Son. Send forth the Angels to assist us in spreading devotion to your Immaculate Heart so that through your intercession there may be peace in the world and in the Church, and the Kingdom of Christ may come on earth as it is in Heaven. And may Almighty God bless you, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

YOUTH MINISTRY AND FAMILY EVANGELIZATION October 10-11 Information on Youth, Young Adults, Mission trips, Retreats and Family Catechesis What does Comprehensive Youth Ministry look like here? From the USCCB’s document, Renewing the Vision: The ministry of Catechesis helps young people enrich and expand their understanding of the Scriptures and the sacred tradition and their application to life today, and live more faithfully as disciples of Jesus Christ in their daily lives, especially through a life of prayer, justice, and loving service. Genuine faith is a total response of the whole person—mind, heart, and will. The ministry of catechesis fosters growth in Catholic faith in all three dimensions—trusting (heart), knowing and believing (mind), and doing (will). The goal should be to have all Catholic youth involved in some program of catechesis. There is still time to enroll your child today and join other parents on a journey of faith for yourself. What a wonderful gift to your family. As always, contact us if there are questions and issues you need help with. We won’t urn any family away!

Esta será una breve ceremonia y todos están invitados a hacer esta Consagración de nuestra parroquia y de nosotros mismos. Después de cada Misa será una santa unción de los enfermos también. Toda la parroquia y cualquier miembro de la parroquia pueden consagrar (confiar) a sí mismos a Nuestra Santísima Madre. Esto tiene mucho poder espiritual. Cuando le pedimos a María para ser la Madre consagrando / confiándonos a ella, nos ponemos bajo su cuidado y protección, y permitir que ella nos abraza aún más estrechamente. Al hacer esto, estamos siguiendo el ejemplo de Jesús mismo. Después de todo, Él fue la primera persona a confiarse a ella. San Juan Pablo II explica, "porque hay que reconocer que antes de cualquier otra persona que era el mismo Dios, el Padre Eterno, quien encomendó a la Virgen de Nazaret, dándole su propio Hijo en el misterio de la Encarnación" (Redemptoris Mater , 39). La esencia de la Consagración Mariana es dar a María nuestra "Sí." Estamos diciendo: "Te doy permiso para utilizar toda tu sabiduría maternal y el poder para mí y cada miembro de mi familia, grupo o ministerio en otro Cristo formar" (P. . Michael Gaitly, MIC). "Hijitos míos, por quienes sufro de nuevo en trabajo de parto, hasta que Cristo sea formado en vosotros" (Gálatas 4:19; véase también Efesios 4:13). Esta maternidad de María no es una especie vaga o abstracta de cosas. Es concreto y personal. Y a pesar de que es universal, también es intensamente personal. María es su madre. Ella es mi madre. María es única, sobre todo, en lo personal de su madre y de mi madre, y ella no nos pierde en la multitud... Y como madre, al igual que en las bodas de Caná (Juan 2: 1-12), desea el poder de su Hijo para manifestarse por lo que su tarea materna es señalar a nosotros las cosas que se deben hacer para que esto suceda. En Fátima, La Santísima Madre dijo: "El Señor quiere establecer la devoción a mi Inmaculado Corazón en el mundo. Si lo que digo se hace, muchas almas se salvarán y habrá paz. "Es nuestra creencia de que esta consagración sólo profundizará nuestro amor a Jesús, dar lugar a la conversión, y traer mucha paz a nosotros mismos como individuos y para la totalidad comunidad parroquial. Recordemos siempre las palabras de San Maximiliano Kolbe "Nunca tengas miedo de amar a la Santísima Virgen demasiado. Nunca se puede amar más que a Jesús lo hizo. "Gracias y esperamos con interés su consagración. Bendiciones, Dcn. Pat Oración de Consagración al Inmaculado Corazón de María Celestial Madre María, refugio de los pecadores, venimos a ustedes hoy para ofrecer a usted y consagrar nuestras vidas y nuestra Parroquia, Santa Catalina de Alejandría, a su Inmaculado Corazón. En esta consagración le ofrecemos nuestros cuerpos y almas con todas las debilidades de nuestra naturaleza humana. Le ofrecemos a nuestros corazones con todos los afectos y deseos, nuestras oraciones, trabajos, alegrías y nuestros sufrimientos. Le ofrecemos toda tentación que viene a nosotros ya nuestra parroquia para que todos nuestros pensamientos y deseos se pueden purificar a través de su intercesión santo. Nuestra Reina y Madre nuestra, te ofrecen en la consagración todos los sufrimientos que entran en nuestras vidas, tanto físicas como espirituales. Le ofrecemos todo nuestra muerte con todo lo que lo acompañará. Por favor, acepte todo esto, Madre Santísima, y tomar todo en su Inmaculado Corazón como le damos a usted irrevocablemente todo lo que somos y todo lo que tenemos, junto con todas nuestras posesiones. Le ofrecemos nuestras familias y todos los que están cerca y querido para nosotros. Tome a todos en tu Corazón Inmaculado y mantenernos siempre en la presencia de tu Hijo Jesús. Renovamos hoy los votos de nuestro Bautismo y de la Confirmación. Mantenernos siempre fiel a Dios ya nuestra Santa Iglesia, y leal en la obediencia al Santo Padre, nuestro Papa, nuestro Obispo y nuestro Pastor. Nuestro deseo es participar en el Sacrificio de la Santa Misa y recibirlo con frecuencia. Damos especial importancia al primer sábado del mes en reparación a su Corazón Inmaculado y vamos a trabajar para la conversión de los pecadores. Haremos todo lo posible para vivir diariamente el espíritu de la Eucaristía en todo lo que hacemos. Oh Reina de los Ángeles, que siempre le honrará como Reina del Cielo y de la Tierra. Enviar los Ángeles para mantenernos siempre en su amor y en la unión de la gracia con su Divino Hijo. Envía, Señor, los ángeles para que nos ayude en la difusión de la devoción a su Inmaculado Corazón, para que a través de su intercesión puede haber paz en el mundo y en la Iglesia, y el Reino de Cristo puede venir en la tierra como en el cielo. Y que Dios Todopoderoso los bendiga, en el nombre del Padre, y del Hijo, y del Espíritu Santo. Amén. Reflecting on God’s Word When the rich young man in this week’s Gospel asks Jesus what he must do to inherit eternal life, the answer is simply “nothing.” Or to put it another way, “You don’t have to do anything to earn it. Simply do not let anything get in the way. Don’t kill, or commit adultery, or steal, or lie, or defraud, or any such things that tend to muddy the focus of our lives.” Beyond that it seems we don’t have to do anything. But, the young man protests, he has avoided all these things. And so the reply Jesus then offers is, in effect, don’t let your riches get in the way either. Easier said than done, and more difficult than imagined. More difficult than threading a needle with camel hair when the hair is still on the camel; more difficult than getting a camel inside your house, whether through your pet door or your back door or maybe even your garage door. Camels don’t shrink. Neither does our hold on riches. Both tend to get in the way. So what does one then do, we ask. Curious—that was the same response in Jesus’ day as well. And over the centuries believers have sought ways to keep wealth in perspective, or at least some things that might help do so. Yet it’s all about trying to make sure that as little as possible gets in the way of finding God among the mishmash of life. —Rev. Joseph J.
