A note from Fr. Brian
Hello from the Holy Land! As you read this, I am on a combination pilgrimage/retreat, following in the footsteps
of countless others who have gone before me.
As amazing as the experience is, I also hold all of you in my heart, you who have become my family, you who
join me week after week (sometimes more often) making this parish our home. After all, home is not only the
place where we were born, but also the place where we know we belong, the place where we know we will
always be welcome.
Today, as we celebrate the feast of the Baptism of the Lord, we might want to recall the great gift of our own baptism, because
through that powerful sacrament, we were given the gift of being able to call heaven our home. Jesus did not need to be baptized, of
course, but by allowing himself to be baptized in the Jordan River, he acted like a big brother, leading the way and showing us what
we must do.
Because baptism is so powerful, in a very real and special way the place where we were baptized should have a special place in our
hearts. For many of you, that place is here at St. Gregory the Great, but no matter where it is, that place is truly a “home” for us
because it is where we were given life, the new life of baptism.
Speaking of the gift of life, next Saturday is the OneLife LA event in Los Angeles. It begins at 10 a.m. at La Placita Olvera and
moves through the streets of downtown L.A., ending in Grand Park (near the Cathedral) with a celebration including speakers,
exhibits, music, and good food. The program should finish at 2:30 p.m. Even if you have not signed up for our bus, you are
welcome to join in the celebration.
I am due back in Los Angeles on Friday, the day before the event. In my absence, Father Joe Donovan is preaching at all the Masses
today on behalf of the Maryknoll Missions. Please welcome him and support him!
I am praying for you. Please pray for me!
¡Hola desde Tierra Santa! Cuando ustedes esten leyendo este mensaje, yo me encontraré en una peregrinación/retiro,
siguiendo los pasos de cuantos han ido antes que yo.
Asi como sorprendente es la experiencia, asi también los mantengo a todos ustedes en mi corazón, ustedes que se han
convertido en mi familia, ustedes que se unen a mi cada semana (a veces más a menudo) haciendo de esta parroquia su hogar.
Después de todo, el hogar no es solamente el sitio donde nacimos, sino también donde sabemos que pertenecemos, el lugar que
sabemos que siempre seremos bien recibidos.
Hoy estamos celebrando la fiesta del bautismo del Señor, y talves deseamos recordar el gran regalo de nuestro bautismo,
porque por medio de este tan poderoso sacramento, se nos dió el regalo de poder llamar el cielo nuestro hogar. Por supuesto, Jesús
no necesitaba ser bautizado, pero dejándose bautizar en el Río Jordán, él actuó como un hermano mayor guiándonos al camino e
indicándonos lo que debíamos hacer.
Ya que el bautismo es tan poderoso, de una manera real y especial, el lugar donde fuimos bautizados debería ser un lugar
especial en nuestros corazones. Para muchos de ustedes, ese lugar es aquí en San Gregorio Magno, pero no importa donde sea, ése
lugar es verdaderamente un “hogar” para nosotros porque es donde nos dieron vida, la nueva vida del bautismo.
Hablando sobre el regalo de vida, el próximo Sábado se celebra el evento UnaVida LA en Los Angeles. Se iniciará a las
10:00 de la mañana en la Placita Olvera y continuará por las calles del centro de Los Angeles terminado en el “Grand Park” (cerca
de la Catedral) con una celebración que incluirá oradores, exibiciones, música y muy buena comida. El programa terminará a las
2:30 de la tarde. Si ustedes no se registraron para viajar en nuestro bus, son bienvenidos a unirse en esta celebración.
Regresaré a Los Angeles el día Viernes, un día antes del evento. . En mi ausencia, el Padre Joe Donovan estará predicando
en todas las Misas de hoy acerca de las Misiones Maryknoll. Por favor , ¡recíbanlo y ayúdenlo!
Estoy orando por ustedes. ¡Por favor oren por me!

Tips for Choosing Safe
Toys for Kids
Millions of toys are out there, and hundreds of
new ones hit the stores each year. Toys are
supposed to be fun and are an important part of
any child’s development. But each year, scores
of kids are treated in hospital emergency
departments for-toy-related injuries. Here are some general
guidelines to keep in mind when toy-shopping: Toys made of
fabric should be labeled as flame resistant or flame retardant.
Stuffed toys should be washable. Painted toys should be
covered with lead-free paint. Art materials should say nontoxic.
Art materials should be washable. Crayons and paints should
say ASTM D-4236 on the package, which mean that they’ve
been evaluated by the American Society for Testing and
Materials.

Consejos para elegir Juguetes
Seguros para los Niños
Existen millones de juguetes en nuestra sociedad y
cientos de juguetes nuevos llegan a las tiendas cada
año. Los juguetes son una parte importante del
desarrollo de cualquier niño. Pero cada año, decenas de niños
son tratados en las salas de emergencia de hospitales por
lesiones relacionadas con juguetes. Aqui hay algunos ejemplos
generales a tener en cuenta al comprar juguetes: Juguetes de
tela deben ser etiquetados como resistentes al fuego. Los
juguetes de peluche deben ser lavables. Juguetes que estén
pintados deben ser cubiertos con pintura sin plomo. Materiales
de arte no deben ser tóxicos. Los paquetes de lápices de
colores y pinturas deben de decir ASTM D-4236, lo que
significa que han sido evaluados por la Sociedad Americana
para Pruebas y Materiales. Visite: kidshealth.org
