So sorry to announce that Fr. Sichko will not be with us this year. His Mom is dying and, of course, I want him to be with her. Instead, I was able to call Vince Ambrosetti who preached at our Mission last year. We welcome him back and he will be giving us his Number 2 Mission Talks. Please plan to attend the Mission Services this week. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at 7:00pm. There will be visiting Priests available for Confessions on Monday and Tuesday after the Services. ~~~~ Many thanks for your generous response to the ABCD Drive. So far, we have $19,601.06 pledged. Our Parish Goal for 2017 is $80,731.00. If you have not pledged, you may do so by filling out the pledge envelopes in the pews. May God Bless Your Generosity. ~~~~ I like the story of the Priest who met two little boys. After greeting them, he said, “Boys, would you like to go to Heaven?” “Yes, sir!” one responded immediately. “No, sir,” the other boy said honestly. Surprised by such honesty, the Priest asked, “Son, do you mean that eventually you don’t want to go to heaven?” “I’d like to go eventually,” replied the boy, but I thought you were getting up a load to go today.” For many people, happiness - like heaven - is something that is going to come eventually , but it never quite arrives. God’s kind of happiness, on the other hand, the kind that God says we can have through our allegiance to his Son, is a present reality. “Happy are those who know they are spiritually poor.” “Happy are those who mourn.” “Happy are those who are humble.” Each one of the Beatitudes is in the present tense. Each one of them congratulates the Christian on the happiness he is already experiencing as a disciple of Jesus Christ. ~~~~ Hoy empezamos nuestra Misión Anual en Inglés. Siento mucho en anunciar que el Padre Sichko no estará con nosotros este año, su madre está agonizando y por supuesto quiero que él esté con ella. Pude llamar a Vince Ambtosetti, quien predicó nuestra Misión el año pasado, le damos la bienvenida otra vez, él nos estará dando su 2da. charla de la Misión. Por favor asista a los servicios de la Misión esta semana, lunes, martes y miércoles a las 7.00 p.m.. Habrá Sacerdotes que nos visitan disponibles para confesiones el lunes y el martes después de los servicios. ~~~~ Muchas gracias por su generosa respuesta al ABCD .Hasta el momento hay $19,601.06 promesas. Nuestra meta de la Parroquia es de $ 80,731.00. Muchas gracias por su respuesta al ABCD. Si Ud. no ha hecho su promesa, pude hacerla, llenando los formularios que están en las bancas. Que Dios bendiga su generosidad. ~~~~ Me gusta la historia del Sacerdote quien se encontró con dos niños pequeños. Después de saludarlos les dijo : "Niños, les gustaría ir al cielo ?" "Sí Señor" respondió uno de ellos inmediatamente. "No Señor" dijo el otro muchacho honestamente. Sorprendido por su honestidad, el Sacerdote le preguntó : "Hijo, quieres decir que eventualmente tú no quieres ir al cielo? " Me gustaría, eventualmente, respondió el muchacho, "pero pensé que Ud. dijo que teníamos que ir hoy ". Para muchas personas la felicidad, como el cielo, es algo que va a venir eventualmente, pero casi nunca llega. El tipo de felicidad de Dios, por otro lado, la clase de felicidad que Dios dice que podemos tener a través de nuestra alianza con su Hijo, es una realidad presente, "Felices son aquellos que saben que son espiritualmente pobres" "Felices aquellos que sufren" " "Felices aquellos que son humildes" cada una de las Beatitues están en el tiempo presente. Cada una de ellas felicita al cristiano por la felicidad que ya está sintiendo como discipulo de Jesús Cristo.

Your support strengthens the ministries that serve our Archdiocese and allow the Church to form new disciples. As Scriptures remind us, Give and it shall be given to you. Your neighbor needs you.
