Welcome to Sacred Heart Catholic Church
Jan 11, 2015
OUR SITE OF FAITH WITH FR. BEN
NUESTRO ENFOQUE DE LA FE CON PADRE BEN
Dear brothers and sisters, the celebration of
Christmas joyfully ends with the celebration of the
Baptism of Jesus in the River Jordan as seen in
the Gospel reading of today (Mark 1: 7-11). The
baptism of Jesus is on his part, the acceptance
and inauguration of Jesus’ mission as God’s
suffering Servant (Isaiah 53). Jesus allows
himself to be numbered among sinners; he, in the
words of John the Baptist, is the Lamb of God,
who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29).
At his mission-oriented baptism, the Spirit whom
Jesus possessed in fullness from his conception
(Luke 1: 35) comes to rest on him (John 1:32-33).
In reading the Catechism of the Catholic Church, we are reassured with
the gospel message that at the baptism of Jesus, the heavens were
opened (Mt. 3:16) which is a prelude to the new creation (CCC, 536).
In the event of the baptism of the Lord and the celebration of a New
Year, we joyfully accept the newness of life and the inauguration of a
new mission designed by God for us as His beloved children. After his
baptism, Jesus began his public ministry; he began a new project of
gathering the children of God. We remember that in the Gospel
according to St. Luke, Jesus made known his mission in these words:
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to
preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the
captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who
are oppressed, to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord” (Luke 4:1819).
In the mission of Jesus, the blessing of the Lord was not only
announced but was made present, healings took place and people’s lives
were transformed. In our own mission this Year 2015; we hope that
God’s blessings will be visible in the lives of all our parishioners as we
seek different ways; develop new programs; sustain old projects in our
call to build a house for the holy One of Israel and to evangelically impact
the lives of the least ones among us (Matthew 25:31).
In our humble parish life we shall continue to proclaim the word of
God in the context of the Year of Consecrated Life/Vocation. We shall
continue to promote vocations to the priestly and Religious life
responding generously to the invitation of Pope Francis calling us to
wake up the world for Christ. In the light of this evangelical summons of
the Holy Father, it is very expedient for us to continue the path of
rediscovering the faith we profess in the creed; the faith we celebrate in
the sacraments; and the faith that moves us to live a good life in our
places of work and in our individual families. We, as a Church have great
opportunities to learn about the Catholic faith through our new monthly
teaching series: “An Evening with God” which takes place every 3rd
Thursdays after the Holy Hour. We have agreed to use the resources
available from Lighthouse productions, Catholic Dynamic, and Pope John
Paul II School of Evangelization in our effort to help many of our
parishioners to understand and appreciate their Catholic Faith.
To boost our spiritual energy, there will be opportunities for
Spiritual Direction and Mini-Retreats throughout the year for individuals,
families, and ministries. Our marriage preparation program will include
more pastoral sensibilities and opportunities for couples that may be
encountering difficulties in their vocation and journey with each other.
In the area of charity and service to the community, we are
invited to support different initiatives and fund-raising activities that will
benefit all of us in our determination to pay off the mortgage of our
beautiful Church, which is the House of God, and the gate of heaven
(Genesis 28:17).
Have a Blessed Year 2015!!!
Queridos hermanos y hermanas, la celebración de
Navidad termina gozosamente con el festejo del
Bautismo de Jesús en el Río Jordán como lo vemos
en la lectura del Evangelio de hoy (Marcos 1:7-11). El
bautismo de Jesús es en su parte, la aceptación e
inauguración de la misión de Jesús como el Sirviente
de Dios que sufre (Isaías 53). Jesús permite que se le
vea entre los pecadores; él, en las palabras de Juan
el Bautista, es el Cordero de Dios, que quita el
pecado del mundo (Juan 1:29). En su bautizo, el
Espíritu quien Jesús poseía a plenitud desde su
concepción, (Lucas 1:35) se queda en él (Juan 1:3233). Al leer el Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica, el
mensaje del evangelio nos reafirma que en el bautismo de Jesús, se
abrieron los cielos (Mateo 3:16) lo cual es el preludio a la nueva creación
(CCC, 536).
Con motivo del bautismo de Jesús y la celebración del Año Nuevo,
aceptamos gozosamente la nueva vida y la inauguración de una nueva
misión diseñada por Dios para nosotros como Sus hijos amados. Después
de su bautizo, Jesús comenzó su ministerio público; inició un nuevo proyecto
de reunir a los hijos de Dios. Recordamos que en el Evangelio de acuerdo a
San Lucas, Jesús dio a conocer su misión con estas palabras: "El Espíritu
del Señor esta sobre mí. Él me ha ungido para traer la buena nueva a los
pobres, para anunciar a los cautivos su libertad y a los ciegos que pronto
van a ver, para liberar a los oprimidos y para proclamar el año de la gracia
del Señor (Lucas 4:18-19).
En la misión de Jesús, no sólo se anunció la bendición del Señor sino
que también se hizo presente; se llevaron a cabo curaciones y las vidas de
las personas se transformaron. En nuestra misión de este Año 2015;
esperamos que las bendiciones de Dios sean visibles en las vidas de los
miembros de nuestra parroquia mientras buscamos diferentes maneras;
desarrollamos nuevos programas; mantenemos proyectos antiguos en
nuestro llamado a construir una casa para el Santo de Israel y para impactar
de forma evangélica a los más necesitados entre nosotros (Mateo 25:31).
En nuestra humilde vida parroquial continuaremos proclamando la palabra
de Dios en el contexto del Año de la Vida/Vocación Consagrada.
Seguiremos promoviendo vocaciones al sacerdocio y a la vida Religiosa
respondiendo generosamente a la invitación del Papa Francisco que nos
llama a despertar al mundo para Cristo. En vista de este llamado evangélico
del Santo Padre, es oportuno continuar por el camino del redescubrimiento
de la fe que profesamos en el credo; la fe que celebramos en los
sacramentos; y la fe que nos mueve a vivir una vida buena en nuestros
trabajos y en nuestras familias. Nosotros, como Iglesia, tenemos la gran
oportunidad de aprender sobre nuestra fe Católica a través de nuestra serie
mensual de enseñanza: "Una Noche con Dios" que tiene lugar cada tercer
jueves del mes después de la Hora Santa. Con el objeto de ayudar a
muchos de nuestros feligreses a entender y apreciar su Fe Católica, hemos
acordado en usar los recursos disponibles a través de Lighthouse
Productions, Catholic Dynamic y Pope John Paul II School of Evangelization.
Para reforzar nuestra energía espiritual, habrán muchas oportunidades
de Dirección Espiritual y Mini Retiros, a través del año, para individuos,
familias y ministerios. Nuestro programa de preparación matrimonial incluirá
más susceptibilidades pastorales y oportunidades para parejas que tengan
dificultades en su vocación y en su trayecto.
En el área de la caridad y servicio a la comunidad, se nos invita a
apoyar diversas iniciativas y actividades para recaudar fondos que nos
beneficiarán a todos en nuestra determinación a pagar la hipoteca de
nuestra hermosa Iglesia, la cual es la Casa de Dios y la puerta del cielo
(Génesis 28:17).
¡¡¡Que tengan un Año 2015 lleno de Bendiciones!!!

A TEACHING MOMENT
OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE
PATRONESS OF MEXICO AND EMPRESS
OF THE AMERICAS
AN INTEGRAL PART OF MEXICAN
IDENTITY (PART II)
MEANING FOR TODAY’S MEXICAN
For Mexicans, Our Lady of Guadalupe is more than an
icon of faith and devotion, is an integral part of their history
and identity, to wherever they migrate and become
established. She was very important in Mexican
indigenous community in influencing socio-political events
such as the Independence of Mexico where she was put in
a banner by the priest Miguel Hidalgo in 1810 and still is
important in Mexico today. Currently, in the United States
is not uncommon to see her as the central figure of many
social movements, in walks carried out in defense of the
rights of documented and undocumented immigrants to
this country.
The influence of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico's
culture is written in the heart of Mexico, in its art, music,
poetry, religious cultural expressions, rather than in history
books.
THE SANCTUARY, TEPEYAC
It is the world's most visited Marian shrine, every year 20
million faithful go and come December 12th, nearly 3
million people flock there.
The new Basilica has a round shape symbolizing the tent that housed the
Ark of the Covenant in its march through the wilderness; interior lamps
hanging from the ceiling that remind us of the cloud guiding the people of
God day by day and the glowing golden wall holding the frame represents
the column of fire and light that led the way overnight.
THE VIRGIN OF GUADALUPE IN THE CURRENT
CULTURAL CONTEXT
Tonantzin-Guadalupe taught us to integrate the best of the other to create
something new, a mestizo nation. What we as Mexicans are now,
germinated on December 12, 1531, when a Lady from Heaven, wrapped in
our culture sent us to ask for help and demand justice to the foreigners who
came to our lands. The message and the engraved cloak of Our Lady of
Guadalupe represent the possibility of living differently; not centered in
selfishness (if we are Mexicans, Spaniards, North Americans, Filipinos,
Africans, etc.) but on respect and recognition of the other.
In today's world, social justice is still far from what God wants; however,
there is a religious element that reminds us that this multicultural
environment should be a source of enrichment rather than conflict. By
accepting each race with dignity as brothers in Christ.
SCIENTIFIC STUDIES OF THE IMAGE OF THE
VIRGIN
Modern science is left without explanation at the wonders of the image of
Our Lady of Guadalupe. It is a unique reality. It surpasses all natural
possibilities, this is a supernatural event.
A cloak that is not corrupted. Colors that were not painted. A pupil containing
the entire scene and everyone at the time of the miracle. We have an image
that neither time nor the attacks of hateful men can overcome.
The miracle of her presence in the Tepeyac is real but very subtle. She has
wanted to be a beacon planted in the heart of the American continent to
attract all to Christ, Savior and Eternal Life, only hope before the ruin where
humanity is found. She wanted to give us a miracle to help unbelieving
generations. She wanted to show with her characteristic humility, that
science has its function but also its limits ... .She recalls the words of the
angel: "To God nothing is impossible".
"Confiamos a Santa María de Guadalupe, Patrona de México y de todo el
Continente, el destino de los pueblos americanos y de su nueva
evangelización" -Juan Pablo II, enero 1999.

UN MOMENTO DE ENSEÑANZA
VIRGEN DE GUADALUPE
PATRONA DE MÉXICO Y EMPERATRIZ DE
LAS AMÉRICAS
ES PARTE INTEGRAL DE LA IDENTIDAD
MEXICANA (PARTE II)
SIGNIFICADO PARA EL MEXICANO DE HOY DÍA
Para el mexicano, la Virgen de Guadalupe es más que un ícono
de fe y devoción, es parte integral de su historia y de su
identidad, a donde quiera emigre y se establezca. Fue muy
importante en la comunidad indígena mexicana por su influencia
en acontecimientos sociopolíticos, como la Independencia de
México donde fue usada como estandarte por el cura Miguel
Hidalgo en 1810 y lo sigue teniendo en el México de hoy.
Actualmente, en Estados Unidos no es raro verla como figura
central de muchos movimientos sociales, en marchas realizadas
en defensa a los derechos de los inmigrantes documentados e
indocumentados de este país.
La influencia de la Virgen de Guadalupe en la cultura de México
está escrita en el corazón del mexicano, en su arte, música,
poesía, expresiones culturales religiosas, más que en los textos
de historia.
EL SANTUARIO, TEPEYAC
Es el santuario mariano más visitado del mundo, cada año 20
millones de fieles van y el 12 diciembre acuden casi 3 millones
de personas.
La Basílica nueva tiene forma redonda que simboliza la tienda
que albergaba el Arca de la Alianza en su marcha por el desierto; las lámparas
interiores que cuelgan del techo recuerdan la nube que guiaba al pueblo de
Dios día a día y la refulgente pared de oro que sostiene el cuadro, representa
la columna de fuego y luz que indicaba el camino durante la noche.
LA VIRGEN DE GUADALUPE EN EL CONTEXTO
CULTURAL ACTUAL
Tonatzin-Guadalupe nos enseñó a integrar lo mejor del otro para crear
algo nuevo, una nación mestiza. Lo que ahora somos los mexicanos germinó el
12 de diciembre de 1531, cuando una Señora del Cielo, envuelta en nuestra
cultura, nos envía a pedir ayuda y exigir justicia al extranjero que entró a
nuestras tierras. El mensaje y la tilma grabada de la Virgen de Guadalupe
representan la posibilidad de vivir de otra manera; no centrados en el egoísmo
(así seamos mexicanos, españoles, estadounidenses, filipinos, africanos, etc.)
sino en el respeto y reconocimiento del otro/a.
En el mundo de hoy la justicia social está todavía muy alejada de lo que
Dios quiere; sin embargo, hay un elemento religioso que nos recuerda que este
ambiente multicultural debe ser fuente de enriquecimiento y no de conflicto.
Aceptándonos cada raza con dignidad como hermanos en Cristo.
ESTUDIOS CIENTÍFICOS DE LA IMAGEN DE LA
VIRGEN
La ciencia moderna se queda sin explicaciones ante las maravillas de la
imagen de la Virgen de Guadalupe. Es una realidad irrepetible. Sobrepasa
todas las posibilidades naturales, estamos ante un hecho sobrenatural.
Una tilma que no se corrompe. Unos colores que no fueron pintados. Una
pupila que contiene toda la escena y todas las personas del momento del
milagro. Estamos ante una imagen que ni el tiempo ni los atentados de
hombres llenos de odio han podido vencer.
El milagro de su presencia en el Tepeyac es real pero muy sutil. Ella ha
querido ser un faro plantado en el corazón del Continente Americano para
atraer a todos a Cristo, Salvador y Vida Eterna, única esperanza ante la ruina
en que se encuentra la humanidad. Ella ha querido darnos un milagro para
ayudar a las generaciones incrédulas. Ha querido demostrar con su
característica humildad, que la ciencia tiene su función pero también sus
límites….Ella nos recuerda las palabras del ángel: "Para Dios nada es
imposible".
"Confiamos a Santa María de Guadalupe, Patrona de México y de todo el
Continente, el destino de los pueblos americanos y de su nueva
evangelización"-Juan Pablo II, enero 1999.

“AÑO DE DIOS HIJO”
“YEAR OF GOD THE SON”
W
e have been blessed with a beautiful church
to gather as a community, to pray, and give
glory to God. With the tremendous growth of our
community, we were very fortunate that our Bishop
saw our needs and enabled us to build a church to
meet them. It is our responsibility as a community
to repay the loan that was given to us to build the
church.
Last year, we began a three year evangelical
journey of looking for a more effective way to respond to God’s abundant
blessings in our lives as a Church. The first year helped us to contemplate the
gracious gift of life which we undeservedly receive from God. With the “Tree
of Life,” we asked the Good Lord to give us the fullness of life here and
hereafter (John 10:10). Some parishioners responded to this appeal and we
are grateful to announce that 368 out of 3,463 families paid $480 or more.
THE TREE OF LOVE
From the “Tree of Life”, we embrace the “Tree of Love.” Life is meaningful
when lived in love and when shared with others as God shared His life with us
in Christ (John 3:16). As you continue to participate in our Kingdom
Campaign, the words of Jesus ought to be your consolation and reassurance,
“The measure you give will be the measure you receive,” (Luke 6: 38). Your
giving to the Kingdom Campaign will offer you and your family the opportunity
to be part of Sacred Heart history. You will be honored as one who
generously contributed in building a house for God (2 Samuel 7: 5). When
one gives up to $480 or more during this second year, “Year of God the Son”,
his/her name or family name will be written on the “Tree of Love”, which shall
be placed on one of the walls of the church. Please be part of this spiritual
opportunity.
Please take a minute today and complete your Kingdom Campaign
pledge card. Pledge cards are in the back of the church and are
available in the parish office. An easier way is our Automated Payment
option available through our website www.sacredheartrc.org and click
on the Online Giving icon. This is a fast, easy and safe way to make &
pay your pledge!
Hemos sido bendecidos con una hermosa iglesia
para reunirnos como una comunidad, orar, y dar
gloria a Dios. Con el gran crecimiento de nuestra
comunidad, fuimos muy afortunados que nuestro
obispo se dio cuenta de nuestras necesidades y
nos permitió construir una iglesia. Es nuestra
responsabilidad como una comunidad de pagar el
préstamo que nos dieron para construir la iglesia.
El año pasado, iniciamos una jornada evangélica de tres años en busca de
una manera más eficaz para responder a las abundantes bendiciones de
Dios en nuestras vidas como una Iglesia. El primer año nos ayudó a
contemplar el don misericordioso de la vida el cual inmerecidamente
recibimos de Dios. Con el “Árbol de la Vida”, le pedimos al Buen Señor que
nos de la plenitud de la vida aquí y en adelante (Juan 10:10). Algunos
feligreses respondieron a esta apelación y estamos agradecidos de anunciar
que 368 de 3,463 familias pagaron $480 o más.
“ÁRBOL DEL AMOR”
Desde el “Árbol de la Vida”, aceptamos el “Árbol del Amor”. La vida es
significativa cuando se vive con amor y cuando se comparte con otros al
igual que Dios compartió su vida con nosotros en Cristo (Juan 3:16). A
medida que continúan participando en nuestra Campaña del Reino, las
palabras de Jesus deben de ser su consolación y alivio “porque, con la
medida que ustedes midan, serán medidos” (Lucas 6:38). Su contribución a
la Campaña del Reino le ofrecerá a usted y a su familia la oportunidad de
ser parte de la historia de Sagrado Corazón. Usted será honrado como uno
que generosamente contribuyó en la construcción de la casa de Dios (2
Samuel 7:5). Cuando uno dona hasta $480 o más durante el segundo año,
“Año de Dios el Hijo”, su nombre o nombre de familia será inscrito en el
“Árbol del Amor,” el cual será puesto en una de las paredes de la iglesia. Por
favor sea parte de esta oportunidad espiritual.
Por favor tomen un minuto hoy y completen su Tarjeta de Promesa
para la Campaña del Reino. Las tarjetas de promesa se encuentran en
la parte posterior de la Iglesia y también están disponibles en la oficina
parroquial. Una manera mas rápida, fácil y segura de hacer y pagar
su promesa es por medio del pago automatizado disponible en nuestro
sitio web www.sacredheartrc.org, haciendo clic en el icono de
Donaciones en Línea.

We all have a desire to belong, but where does it come from
and how do we satiate that inherent longing for Christ? Fr.
Imo, pastor at St. John XXII, will explain why, as Christian
persons, we must receive the Eucharist so that we may in
turn be Eucharist to others.

Our Christmas Season was blessed this year to have the
various choirs at Sacred Heart share their extraordinary

beautiful music. We are so grateful to all of those who helped
make this special event happen—all of our Choir Directors, Fr.

Everyone who attended had a night filled with song and joy.
Thank you for taking the time during such a busy time of the
year to bring the love of the Christ Child to many!
