We look forward to having you join in the celebration.
Happy foundation anniversary! We are celebrating 130 years of Catholic faith, family and service.
130 years is a long but rich history shared with the City of Albany. Our Lady of Perpetual Help
Parish and St. Mary’s School made an impact to the whole community and helped shape and influence a
lot of things here in this simple yet busy and growing town.
There are three things we believe we have prided about and will continue to be proud of in the
coming years. We are proud of our Catholic faith, our families and the service we provide to our Catholic
and non-Catholic brethren.
The Education and the promotion of Catholic values the St. Mary’s School have provided will
never fade even if we have closed the school couple of years ago. One of the things we continue to do is to
consistently provide our children of school age and the youth their respective formation. We also support
those who go to Catholic schools in the neighboring towns by subsidizing their education. Through that
our mission to educate and form our children and the youth continue to be realized.
Our worship and the celebration of sacraments continue to shape our faith community. In the past
decades, our parish has become diverse. There is a growing Hispanic presence in the mid-valley for some
decades now. Our parish is one community they come to be members as well as neighboring parishes in
Lebanon and Corvallis. Over time, the parish has made strides to best serve the needs of both the Anglo
and Hispanic parishioners, without neglecting the need of non-Anglo and non-Hispanic parishioners. Due
to our responsiveness, our parish has been wonderfully providing the Albany community well-formed
individuals and families.
Our apostolate to the community of Albany and to those who come through Albany has been
formed over the years. The soup kitchen is a charitable work-apostolate that was established by the
dynamic pastor Fr. Pat Walsh (of happy memory). Today it serves hundreds of individuals three (3) days a
week. Fr. Betts, through his blessing, gave a ‘go’ to a very comforting apostolate to the sick, the lonely
and the challenged. Several women have started during his time the prayer shawl ministry. Today the
ministry has provided countless comfort, refuge, strength and healing to parishioners and non-parishioners
alike. Fr. Andrew T. started the sister parish ministry. By sending monetary help to Honduras, the Our
Lady of Perpetual Help (Maria Seguidora), Honduras is sustained. Run by the Salesians, Our Lady of
Perpetual Help, Honduras has built its church and the children and youth are provided the chance to be
formed.
These blessings we enjoy are God’s providence. God will continue to help us, through the intercession of our patron saint, the Our Lady of Perpetual Help. As we celebrate the blessings God has provided
us, may we continue to celebrate today and make tomorrow bright and good.
We welcome one and all who will join us in our special day. We especially welcome his Excellency Archbishop Alexander Sample, DD, Archbishop of Portland in Oregon. Archbishop Alexander Sample
is our main celebrant and homilist.
o0o
September 8 is the birthday of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The BVM is conceived without sin.
Having no sin, she becomes a worthy tabernacle of the Son of God, Jesus Christ. September 8 is a special
day for our parish, having Mary as our titular patroness. May we remember to say
a prayer for our parish and for our parishioners on that day. Let us also not forget
to say a prayer for those who are seeking understanding in their faith.
o0o
September 11, the day of mourning for the 9/11 attack, has become a
special day for all Americans. This is a special day to remember that we are all
called to live our baptismal calling, that is, to do charity. We are also called to pray
and thank God for the wonderful blessing He gave us during those difficult times.
Please do remember a victim and a first responder.
Feliz Aniversario y fundación! Estamos celebrando 130 años de fe católica, la familia y el servicio.
130 años es mucho, pero rica en historia compartida con la ciudad de Albany. Nuestra parroquia de
Nuestra Señora del Perpetuo Socorro y la Escuela Santa María hizo un impacto en toda la comunidad ayudando a dar forma e influyen en muchas cosas aquí en este sencillo y ocupado pueblo que sigue creciendo.
Hay tres cosas de las que estamos orgullosos y seguiremos estando orgullosos en los próximos años.
Estamos orgullosos de nuestra fe católica, nuestras familias y el servicio que ofrecemos a nuestros hermanos
católicos y no católicos.
La educación y la promoción de los valores católicos que la Escuela de Santa María ha brindado nunca
se desvanecerá aunque ya se haya cerrado la escuela hace un par de años. Una de las cosas que seguimos haciendo es proporcionando de forma coherente a nuestros niños en edad escolar y los jóvenes su respectiva
formación. También apoyamos a los que van a las escuelas católicas en los pueblos vecinos al subsidiar su
educación. A través de nuestra misión de educar y formar a nuestros niños y jóvenes lo seguimos realizando.
Nuestro adoración y la celebración de los sacramentos continúan dando forma a nuestra comunidad de
fe. En las décadas pasadas, nuestra parroquia se ha convertido en diversa. Hay una creciente presencia hispana
en el valle desde hace algunas décadas y ahora. Nuestra parroquia es una comunidad en la que llegan a ser
miembros, así como en las parroquias vecinas en Lebanon y Corvallis. Con el tiempo, la parroquia ha dado
pasos para servir mejor a las necesidades tanto a los Anglos y también a la comunidad hispana, sin dejar de
lado las necesidades de los feligreses no anglo y no hispano. Debido a nuestra capacidad de respuesta, nuestra
parroquia ha estado proporcionando maravillosamente a la comunidad de Albany a individuos y familias bien
formadas.
Nuestro apostolado a la comunidad de Albany y para los que vienen a Albany se ha formado a lo largo
de los años. La distribución de comida es un trabajo de apostolado de caridad que fue establecido por el pastor
dinámico el Padre. Pat Walsh (feliz memoria). Hoy en día sirven a cientos de personas los tres (3) días de la
semana. El Padre Betts, a través de su bendición, dio inicio a un apostolado muy reconfortante para los enfermos, los solitarios y al desafió. Varias mujeres comenzaron durante su tiempo el ministerio de tejer mantas de
oración. Hoy el ministerio ha proporcionado incontablemente comodidad, refugio, fortaleza y sanidad a los
feligreses y no feligreses por igual. El Padre Andrew T. comenzó el ministerio parroquial hermana. Mediante
el envío de ayuda monetaria a Honduras, la Virgen del Perpetuo Socorro (María seguidora), Honduras se sustenta y es. Dirigido por los Salesianos, Nuestra Señora del Perpetuo Socorro en, Honduras ha construido su
iglesia y los niños y jóvenes están proporcionado la oportunidad de formarse.
Estas bendiciones que disfrutamos son la providencia de Dios. Dios continuará ayudándonos, por intercesión de nuestra Patrona, la Virgen del Perpetuo Socorro. Al celebrar las bendiciones que Dios nos ha provisto, que podamos seguir celebrando hoy y hacer de mañana un futuro brillante y bueno.
Damos la bienvenida a todos y cada uno de los que se unirán a nosotros en nuestro día especial. Especialmente Damos la bienvenida a su Excelencia el Arzobispo Alexander, DD, Arzobispo de Portland en
Oregon. Arzobispo Alexander Sample es nuestro principal celebrante y predicador.
o0o
El 08 de septiembre es el cumpleaños de la Santísima Virgen María. El BVM concebida sin pecado.
Al no tener pecado, se convierte en un digno tabernáculo del Hijo de Dios, Jesucristo. el 08 de septiembre es
un día especial para nuestra parroquia, que tiene a María como nuestra patrona titular. Podemos recordar y
decir una oración por nuestra parroquia y para nuestros feligreses en este día. Tampoco olvidemos en decir una
oración por aquellos que buscan la comprensión en su fe.
o0o
El 11 de septiembre, día de luto por el ataque del 9/11, se ha convertido en un día especial para todos
los estadounidenses. Este es un día especial para recordara todos que estamos llamados a vivir nuestra vocación bautismal, es decir, hacer caridad. Nosotros también estamos llamados a orar y dar gracias a Dios por la
maravillosa bendición que Él nos dio durante esos tiempos difíciles. Por favor, recuerde a una víctima y a los
que respondieron primero.

Twenty-fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Vigésimo Cuarto Domingo del Tiempo
Ordinario
SERVANT
Sometimes the hour and the person meet. Sometimes,
when a task or mission is set upon our shoulders, we know
we must meet our responsibilities and we are ready. These
are heady and invigorating times. The first reading and the
Gospel proclamation today are intimate glimpses of a commencement, an inauguration of a challenging future. In
both readings, a sense of gravity prevails.
The first reading is from the mysterious Servant Songs
from the book of Isaiah. The person is steadfast and brave.
His courage and bravery are not located in his stout heart,
but in God. We are reminded, “The Lord God opens my ear
that I may hear” (Isaiah 50:4), so the servant understands
the mission. And twice, “The Lord God is my help” (50:7,
9), so that the servant can endure the coming struggle.

TODAY’S READINGS
First Reading — The Lord God is my help; who will prove
me wrong? (Isaiah 50:5-9a).
Psalm — I will walk before the Lord, in the land of the living
(Psalm 116).
Second Reading — Faith, if it does not have works, is dead
(James 2:14-18).
Gospel — Jesus asked his disciples, “Who do you say that I
am?” (Mark 8:27-35).

EL SIERVO
A veces la persona y la hora se encuentran. A veces,
cuando han puesto en nuestros brazos una tarea o misión,
sabemos que debemos cumplir esa responsabilidad, y estamos listos. Esos son momentos de gran entusiasmo y energía. La primera lectura y la proclamación del Evangelio de
hoy nos permiten vislumbrar íntimamente el comienzo, la
inauguración de un futuro desafiante. Las dos lecturas
mantienen un sentido de seriedad.
La primera lectura viene del misterioso Cántico del
Siervo del libro de Isaías. La persona es firme y valiente. Su
valentía y fortaleza no se fundan en su corazón sino en
Dios. Se nos recuerda: “El Señor Dios me ha hecho oír sus
palabras” (Isaías 50:4), para que el siervo comprenda la
misión. Y dos veces: “El Señor es mi ayuda” (50:7, 9), para
que el siervo pueda sobrellevar el sufrimiento que se avecina. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
LECTURAS DE HOY
Primera lectura — En la tribulación, el Señor Yavé me ha
abierto los oídos para que yo escuche. El Señor Yavé está
de mi parte; ¿quién podrá condenarme?
(Isaías 50:5-9a).
Salmo — Caminaré en la presencia del Señor
(Salmo 116 (115)).
Segunda lectura — Demuestra tu fe por las buenas obras
que produces (Santiago 2:14-18).
Evangelio — Después que Pedro profesa que Jesús es el
Mesías, Jesús lo reprende por tratar equivocadamente de
apartar a Jesús de su misión. Para seguir a Cristo es necesario que uno renuncie a sí mismo y tome su cruz (Marcos
8:27-35).
CONFIANZA
Mi pasado, Señor, lo confío a tu misericordia, mi presente a tu amor, mi futuro a tu providencia.
—San Agustín

Mother to share in His passion.” (Invitatory) “With your substance you have fed that same Jesus who every day gives me life,
your life. O Mary, that very life which He owes you. Every drop
of His blood you gave Him so that it should be mine. With your
virgin milk you fed him so that he might die on the cross and open
the gates of heaven for me. My beloved Mother, it is to you, then
that I owe my happiness which I enjoy in contemplating
Him.” (Concepcion Cabrera de Armida, Servant of god)
