ABCD: One in Faith, One in Hope, One in Charity
Dear Parishioners of Saint Andrew:
This weekend at all Masses an informational video is being shown on the Archbishop’s Charities and Development Campaign (ABCD) for 2015. Archbishop Wenski describes the purpose and fruits of the ABCD
this way:
"The Archdiocese of Miami, through the Archbishop’s Charities and Development Drive (ABCD), opens
the door for us all to unite as one community of believers to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ and
bring hope to those in need. United, we feed the hungry, cloth the poor, care for the sick and dying, and
touch the hearts of those in despair. With the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we nourish and educate our children, both spiritually and intellectually. We assist the poorest of our parishes and schools so that all persons
may encounter Jesus Christ. We provide shelter for the homeless. As Catholics, we consistently defend and
respect the dignity of all human life, work to eliminate prejudice, and promote social justice. We journey
together by sharing in the sacraments—from baptism to receiving the Eucharist, to confirmation and penance, to marriage and anointing the sick. And this year, we are blessed with sixty-five men studying in our
seminaries answering their call to the priesthood to become shepherds of Christ here in south Florida. You
make all this possible."
The theme of the 2015 ABCD is "One in Faith, One in Hope, One in Charity". This is how your donation to
the 2015 ABCD will be used:
One in Faith: Education and Evangelization - 21%
One in Hope: Formation of Seminarians, Clergy, Religious and Laity - 34%
One in Charity: Social Ministries and Assisting Parishes in Poor Communities - 45%
Thanks to your generosity, Saint Andrew Parish met and slightly exceeded its 2014 ABCD goal of
$250,275. This year our goal for the 2015 ABCD is the same as last year, $250,275.00
I am most grateful to all those who include the ABCD in their annual stewardship commitment to the
Church. It is my hope this year to increase the number of parishioners who participate in this worthy cause.
Provided that your personal/family finances allow it, please consider donating the same amount or a slightly
more to this year's ABCD. If you have not donated in the past, I encourage you to consider a first-time
donation of at least $250. Envelopes and pledge cards are available for you to make a donation or a pledge.
Pledges can be paid in full or on a monthly basis, whatever better suits your personal budget.
Because I know of your gratitude to the Lord for the many gifts you have recieved from Him, I am confident that we can reach this year's ABCD goal. I hope all our parishioners will join me in prayerfully considering and generously giving to the 2015 ABCD so that we can be "One in Faith, One in Hope, One in
Charity". On behalf of those who benefit from your generosity, I express my thanks.
May the Lord continue to bless you and your families with His love!
Monsignor Michael A. Souckar
ABCD: Uno en la Fe, uno en Esperanza, Uno en la Caridad
Queridos Feligreses de Saint Andrew:
Este fin de semana en todas las misas se está mostrando un video informativo sobre Caridades y Campaña para el
Desarrollo del Arzobispo (ABCD) para 2015. El arzobispo Wenski describe el propósito y los frutos del ABCD de esta
manera:
"La Arquidiócesis de Miami, a través de Caridades y Desarrollo del Arzobispo (ABCD), abre la puerta para que todos
nos unamos como una comunidad de creyentes para difundir la Buena Nueva de Jesucristo y llevar esperanza a los
necesitados. Unidos, alimentamos el hambre, vestimos los pobres, cuidamos de los enfermos y moribundos, y tocamos los corazones de los desesperados. Con la guía del Espíritu Santo, nos nutrimos y educamos nuestros hijos, tanto espiritual como intelectualmente. Ayudamos a los más pobres de nuestras parroquias y escuelas, para que todas
las personas puedan encontrar a Jesucristo. Ofrecemos refugio para los que no tienen techo. Como católicos, consistentemente defendemos y respetamos la dignidad de toda vida humana, el trabajo para eliminar los prejuicios y promover la justicia social. Caminamos juntos compartiendo los sacramentos - del bautismo a la recepción de la Eucaristía, a la confirmación y a la penitencia, al matrimonio y a la unción de los enfermos. Y este año, hemos sido bendecidos con sesenta y cinco hombres que estudian en nuestros seminaries para contestar su llamada al sacerdocio para
convertirse en pastores de Cristo aquí en al sur de la Florida. Usted hace todo esto posible".
El tema del ABCD del 2015 es "Uno en la Fe, Uno en la Esperanza, Uno en la Caridad". Así es cómo se utilizará su
donación al ABCD del 2015:
• Uno en la Fe: Educación y Evangelización - 21%
• Uno en la Esperanza: Formación de los Seminaristas, Clero, Religiosos y Laicos - 34%
• Uno en la Caridad: Ministerios Sociales y Asistencia a Parroquias en Comunidades Pobres - 45%
Gracias a su generosidad, Saint Andrew alcanzó y ligeramente superó su meta para el ABCD del 2014 de $ 250,275.
Este año nuestra meta para el ABCD es la misma del año pasado $ 250,275.
Estoy muy agradecido de todos los que incluyen el ABCD en su compromiso anual de mayordomía para la Iglesia.
Tengo la esperanza que este año aumentaremos el número de feligreses que participan en esta noble causa. De
acuerdo como sus finanzas personales / familiares lo permitan, por favor considere donar la misma cantidad o un poco
más al ABCD de este año. Si usted no ha donado en el pasado, le animo a que considere una donación por primera
vez de por lo menos $ 250. Los sobres y tarjetas de compromiso están disponibles para que usted pueda hacer una
donación o compromiso. Donaciones pueden ser pagadas en su totalidad o en forma mensual, lo que mejor se adapte
a su presupuesto personal.
Porque yo sé de su gratitud al Señor por todos los dones que has recibido de El, estoy seguro que podemos llegar a
meta ABCD de este año. Espero que todos nuestros feligreses se unan a mí en oracion para considerar y donar gene
-rosamente a la campaña ABCD del 2015 para que podamos ser "Uno en la Fe, Uno en Esperanza, Uno en la Caridad". En nombre de quienes se benefician de su generosidad, les expreso mi agradecimiento.
¡Qué el Señor los siga bendiciendo a usted y sus familias con su amor!

RESPECT LIFE CORNER
CARDINAL O’MALLEY WELCOMES HOUSE PASSAGE OF
‘NO TAXPAYER FUNDING FOR ABORTION ACT’
January 23, 2015
WASHINGTON—Cardinal Seán O’Malley, Archbishop of Boston and chairman of the USCCB Committee on Pro-Life Activities, welcomed passage of the “No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion and Abortion Insurance Full Disclosure Act of 2015” (H.R.
7) by the U.S. House of Representatives. “By passing this legislation, the House has taken a decisive step toward respect for
unborn human life, reflecting the will of the American people,”
he said.
Co-sponsored by Reps. Chris Smith (R-NJ) and Dan Lipinski (D
-IL), the pro-life bill passed with bipartisan support by a vote of
242-179 on January 22, the day of the annual March for Life in
Washington. The House approved identical legislation a year
ago by a closer margin, 227-188.
The bill codifies a permanent, government-wide policy against
taxpayer subsidies for abortion and abortion coverage. It also
requires health plans offered under the Affordable Care Act to
disclose the extent of their coverage for abortion and the
amount of any surcharge for that coverage to consumers.
Cardinal O’Malley wrote to Congress last January urging support for the legislation, saying it “will write into permanent law a
policy on which there has been strong popular and congressional agreement for over 37 years: The federal government
should not use its funding power to support and promote elective abortion, and should not force taxpayers to subsidize this
violence. Even public officials who take a ‘pro-choice’ stand,
and courts that have insisted on a constitutional ‘right’ to abortion, have agreed that the government has every right (in the
Supreme Court’s words) to ‘encourage childbirth over abortion.’”
“H.R. 7 also requires health plans under the Affordable Care Act
to provide full disclosure on their abortion coverage to consumers,” said Cardinal O’Malley. “This lets Americans choose health
coverage that reflects their values. Just as most Americans do
not want their tax dollars used for abortion, they do not want
their own health coverage misused to pay for abortions. I hope
the U.S. Senate will take up this important legislation soon.”

A Stewardship Minute
Reflecting on God’s Word
Reflexionemos sobre la Palabra de Dios
Prophets tend not to be very popular. They get
thrown in jail, ridiculed, beaten up, or killed. The
leaders of Jerusalem once had Jeremiah thrown in a
cistern, where he would have died if someone had
not interceded for him with the king. Today we hear
how the people of Nazareth would have killed Jesus
if he had not given them the slip.
In both cases, people did not want a message that
God was sending them through the prophets.
Jeremiah had to tell the leaders that their time had
run out because of their infidelity to the covenant.
God was leaving them to their own devices, allowing Jerusalem to be destroyed by the Babylonians.
Jesus confronts his own townspeople by admonishing them that they should be like that woman whom
Elijah helped and that leper Elisha sent to wash in
the Jordan. Both of these Gentiles had faith they
should imitate. But the villagers only wanted a God
who would wreak vengeance on the Gentiles, a God
who only worked wonders for them and who was
confined within the boundaries of Israel.
Sometimes we may want to keep God in a little box
of our own making, limiting God to the boundaries
of the church building or maybe even just the tabernacle. That way we go and visit God when we have
time or need something, but we hope that God will
not bother us too much with any burdensome demands. The God of Israel was never satisfied with
confinement, even in something the size of the temple. And Jesus would not allow himself to be constricted in his own day concerning whom he associated or ate with or even touched. Tight quarters
wouldn’t do, not then but especially once he was
raised from the tomb!
— James A. Wallace, C.SS.R.
Los profetas tienden a no ser muy populares. Se les
encarcela, se les ridiculiza, se les maltrata y hasta
los matan. Los líderes de Jerusalén una vez echaron
a Jeremías a un pozo donde hubiera muerto de no
haber sido por alguien que intercedió por él ante el
rey. Hoy escucharemos que la gente de Nazaret
hubiera matado a Jesús de no haber sido porque
Jesús se les escapó.
En ninguno de los dos casos la gente quería escuchar el mensaje que Dios les estaba enviando a
través de los profetas. Jeremías le tuvo que decir a
los líderes que el tiempo de ellos llegaba a su fin,
por haber sido infieles a la alianza. Dios los abandonaba y permitiría que Jerusalén fuera destruida por
los babilonios. Jesús confronta a sus propios coterráneos y los amonesta diciéndoles que deberían ser
como la viuda que Elías ayudó y como el leproso
que curó Eliseo al enviarlo a las aguas del Jordán.
Ambos paganos tenían la fe que ellos debían imitar.
Pero este pueblo sólo quería a un Dios que se desquitara y se vengara de los paganos, un Dios que
sólo hiciera prodigios en medio de ellos y confinado
a los límites de Israel.
Algunas veces nosotros queremos controlar a Dios y
confinarlo a los límites del edificio de la iglesia o
aun del sagrario. De esa manera podemos ir a visitarlo cuando tengamos tiempo o cuando necesitamos
algo, pero esperamos que Dios no nos moleste mucho con sus exigencias agobiantes. El Dios de Israel
nunca estaba satisfecho en confinamiento, ni siquiera entre las paredes del templo. Y Jesús, en su propia época, no permitió ser coartado respecto a con
quién se asociaba, con quién comía, ni aún a quién
tocaba. Esas opresiones no las permitió nunca, ¡pero
especialmente después de haber resucitado de entre
los muertos!
— James A. Wallace, C.SS.R.

CATHOLIC CONVERSATIONS ON THE SCRIPTURES
Archdiocese of Miami - Office of Lay Ministry and Adult Faith Formation
February 1, 2015 Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Gospel reading Mark 1:21-28 [To be read aloud]
Then they came to Capernaum, and on the Sabbath Jesus entered the synagogue and taught. The people were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority and not as the scribes. In their synagogue was a man with an unclean spirit; he cried
out, ―What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!ǁ
Jesus rebuked him and said, ―Quiet! Come out of him!ǁ The unclean spirit convulsed him and with a loud cry came out of him. All
were amazed and asked one another, ―What is this? A new teaching with authority. He commands even the unclean spirits and they
obey him.ǁ His fame spread everywhere throughout the whole region of Galilee.
Brief commentary:
We are now well into Ordinary Time, the liturgical season that invites us to enter into the Gospel story and become a part of it by
allowing it to inform and shape our lives as Christians today. It calls us to follow Jesus Christ throughout his ministry by actively living
out his Gospel message in everyday concrete ways. Today‘s readings emphasize the prophetic aspect of Jesus‘ ministry. The Old Testament reading from Deuteronomy anticipates a ―prophet like Moses from the among the people,ǁ whom God ―will raise up to speak
his words to them.ǁ The psalm similarly emphasizes the people‘s call to listen to the voice of God that comes to them through a variety of ways, most especially from prophetic witness. Paul‘s advice to the Corinthians to ―adhere to the Lord without distractionǁ is a
call to a wholehearted commitment to the cause of the Gospel, which is to be lived in area of our lives. In the gospel we meet ―the
One who is not only a prophet, who speaks ‗in the name of‘ the Lord, but is God himself who comes to speak to us ‗in the person‘
of his Son, his Wordǁ (CCC). At Capernaum, by the Lake of Galilee, Jesus as a devout Jew enters the synagogue on the Sabbath day.
His mission is characterized by an authoritative teaching that amazes the people. Rather than commentaries on the Scriptures, his
‗new‘ teaching is one in which he speaks on his own authority as he boldly reinterprets the Scriptures afresh and surpasses customary
biblical reflection. In conjunction with his stunning words, Jesus‘ authoritative deeds affirm his message. Central to Jesus‘ mission is
the liberation of the oppressed and of healing. Together with his teaching, Jesus of Nazareth confronts the oppressive powers: these
recognize him as ―the Holy One of Godǁ who puts an end to their grip on the people. Jesus rebukes, silences, and commands them:
they are powerless before the only true power. As a result of his astonishing teaching and works of deliverance, Jesus‘ fame spreads
throughout the region. As Christians, we are both believers and followers: this means that we have put ourselves in the hands of the
Lord Jesus Christ totally, and that we are willing to follow him in all things, for he is the Way. Therefore, like Jesus, the Church today
teaches ‗with authority‘ the Gospel to the world in a way that it meaningful, coherent and which addresses the issues and challenges,
the hopes and dreams, of our world. Similarly, Christians today must expose, rebuke, and drive out the demons that plaque our lives,
societies and world: violence and war, prejudice and racism, materialism and narcissism, oppression and poverty, and so many forms
of evil that daily and oftentimes subtly affect our thinking and attitudes, relationships and choices, values and way of life. Because he
has given us his Spirit, we too can – if united to him – bring to the world the saving Gospel and help liberate our world from the demons that bound and threaten our very existence. Discipleship essentially involves both believing in Jesus Christ and the living of the
Christian mission to the world.
Today’s reading offers significant messages:
• The readings of Ordinary Time call us to weekly to learn from the ministry of Jesus, and put to practice his mission today.
• Jesus‘ ministry is characterized both by words and deeds. Similarly, the Church and her members today must be both prophetic
and active.
• Jesus mission revealed to people the truth that sets us free, and his actions liberated the afflicted and oppressed from their
bondage.
For our shared or personal reflection:
After a brief pause for silent reflection share your answers, ideas or feelings.
• How can I come to better learn the teaching of Jesus Christ, so that I can share it with others?
• How do my actions toward others reflect the ministry of Jesus?
• As a member of the Church, how do I expose, rebuke and silence evil in my life and society, and how do I help bring about the
liberation of the oppressed in our world?

REFLEXIONES CATÓLICAS SOBRE LA BIBLIA
Arquidiócesis de Miami - Oficina de Ministerios Laicos y Formación de Adultos en la Fe
1 de Febrero de 2015 IV Domingo de Tiempo Ordinario (Ciclo B)
Lectura del santo Evangelio según San Marcos 1:21-28
En aquel tiempo, Jesús y sus -discípulos entraron en Cafarnaún, y cuando el sábado siguiente fue a la sinagoga a enseñar, se quedaron
asombrados de su doctrina, porque no enseñaba como los escribas, sino con autoridad. Estaba precisamente en la sinagoga un hombre
que tenla un espíritu inmundo, y se puso a gritar: “¿Qué quieres de nosotros, Jesús Nazareno? ¿Has venido a acabar con nosotros? Sé
quién eres: el Santo de Dios.” Jesús lo increpó: “Cállate y sal de él.” El espíritu inmundo lo retorció y, dando un grito muy fuerte, salió.
Todos se preguntaron estupefactos: “¿Qué es esto? Este enseñar con autoridad es nuevo. Hasta a los espíritus inmundos les manda y
le obedecen.” Su fama se extendió en seguida por todas partes, alcanzando la comarca entera de Galilea.
Comentario breve:
Ahora estamos bien sumergidos en Tiempo Ordinario, el tiempo litúrgico que nos invita a entrar en la narración del evangelio y formar parte de el, dejando que informe y forme nuestras vidas de cristianos hoy. No llama a seguir a Jesucristo a lo largo de su ministerio, activamente viviendo el mensaje de su evangelio concretamente en nuestra vida cotidiana. Las lecturas de hoy enfatizan el aspecto
profético del ministerio de Jesús. La lectura del Antiguo Testamento del Deuteronomio anticipa a “un profeta como Moisés que surgirá de entre el pueblo,” quien Dios “levantara para que anuncie sus palabras.” Similarmente, el salmo enfatiza el vocación del pueblo
en escuchando la voz de Dios que les llega a través de una variedad de maneras, especialmente del testimonio profético. El consejo de
Pablo a los corintios “al trato del Señor sin preocupaciones/distracciones” es un llamado a un compromiso completo a la causa del
evangelio, que es de ser vivido en cada sector de nuestras vidas. En el evangelio nos encontramos con “El que no solamente es un
profeta, quien habla „en el nombre del‟ Señor, pero es Dios mismo que viene a hablarnos „en persona‟ de su Hijo, su Palabra” (CIC).
En Cafarnaúm, a orillas del Lago de Galilea, Jesús como judío devoto entra la sinagoga en el Sábado. Su misión es caracterizada por
una enseñanza que maravilla y asombra el pueblo. En vez de recurrir a comentarios sobre las Escrituras, su „nueva‟ enseñanza es una
en cual el habla por su propia autoridad cuando reinterpreta las Escrituras con novedad y sobrepasa las reflexiones convencionales
sobre la Biblia. En conjunción con sus llamativas palabras, sus hechos autoritativos afirman su mensaje. Central a su misión es la liberación de los oprimidos y la sanación. Junto con su enseñanza, Jesús de Nazaret confronta los poderes opresivos: estos le reconocen
como “el Santo de Dios” quien viene a poner fin a su cautiva del pueblo. Jesús les reprende, les calla, y les ordena: son débiles antes el
único verdadero poder. Como resultado de su asombrosa enseñanza y actos de liberación, la fama de Jesús se extiende a través de la
región. Como cristianos, somos ambos creyentes y seguidores: esto significa que nos encomendamos totalmente en las manos de
nuestro Señor Jesucristo, y que estamos dispuestos seguirle en todas las cosas, porque El es el Camino. Consecuentemente, como
Jesús, la Iglesia enseña „con autoridad‟ el Evangelio al mundo de manera significativa, coherente y que responde a las cuestiones y
retos, la esperanzas y sueños, de nuestro mundo. Similarmente, los cristianos hoy han de exponer, reprender, y expulsar los demonios
que plagan nuestras vidas, sociedades y mundo: la violencia y guerra, el prejuicio y racismo, el materialismo y narcisismo, la opresión y
la pobreza, y tantas formas del mal que diariamente y, muchas veces sutilmente, afectan nuestro pensar y actitudes, nuestras relaciones
y decisiones, nuestros valores y manera de vivir. Porque el nos ha dado su Espíritu, también nosotros – si estamos unidos a el –
traemos al mundo su evangelio salvífico y ayudamos a liberar a nuestro mundo de los demonios que nos atan y que amenazan nuestra
propia existencia. El discipulado esencialmente implica ambos creer en Jesucristo y el vivir la misión cristiana para el mundo.
La lectura de hoy nos presenta tres ideas importantes:
• Las lecturas del Tiempo Ordinario nos llaman semanalmente a aprender del ministerio de Jesús, y poner a practica su misión hoy.
• El ministerio de Jesús es caracterizado por palabras y obras. Similarmente, la Iglesia y sus miembros hoy han de ser proféticos y
activos.
• La misión de Jesús revela al pueblo la verdad que nos hace libres, y sus acciones liberan al afligido y oprimido de sus ataduras.
Para la reflexión personal o comunitaria:
Después de una pausa breve para reflexionar en silencio, comparta con otros sus ideas o sentimientos.
• ¿Cómo puedo mejormente aprender la enseñanza de Jesucristo, y como puedo compartirla con otros?
• ¿Cómo reflejan mis acciones hacia el prójimo el ministerio de Jesús?
• ¿Cómo miembro de la Iglesia, como expongo, reprendo y callo el mal en mi vida y sociedad, y como puedo ayudar a liberar los
oprimidos en nuestro mundo?

Authority & Action
Today’s Gospel speaks of Jesus’ authority to
teach. Today, the Magisterium of the Catholic Church
continues to teach. The Holy Father’s speeches, and
papal encyclicals provide wisdom on pressing issues of
our times.
The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops
(USCCB) helps us to understand moral and political
issues by examining proposed legislation through the
lens of Scripture and Catholic social teaching. USCCB
advocacy alerts explain how proposed legislation will
impact people who are poor or vulnerable and provide
talking points for speaking with legislators.
Jesus calls each of us to act on His authority, as
His hands and feet. We, like Moses, are called to live
prophetic lives to build God’s Kingdom here on earth.
And the Church equips us with resources to advocate
for others.
Do you receive advocacy alerts? Join a Catholic Advocacy Alert list today so you can learn how
easy it is to urge elected officials to build a just
society. Learn more at:

AUTHORITY FROM GOD
According to Moses, the people decided they didn’t want to
hear God’s voice directly any more. It was much too frightening.
Why couldn’t God send human teachers, prophets, instead?
God agreed, but with a warning. The people had better listen to
those teachers, because they spoke in God’s name.
That arrangement, though, had its own problems, for them
and for us. How do I know this teacher is truly from God? And if
the teacher is from God, are all parts of the teaching meant for
me? We have the Church and scripture to help us with those
questions, but still there are always a few loose ends.
That is the powerful significance of the sentence in today’s
Gospel: “The people were astonished at his teaching, for he
taught them as one having authority and not as the scribes.” The
people knew that this Jesus was authentic—truly a teacher sent
by God. They knew it by hearing him.

AUTORIDAD DE DIOS
De acuerdo a Moisés, el pueblo decidió que no quería ya
más oír la voz directa de Dios. Era demasiado aterradora. ¿Por
qué no les podía Dios enviar a maestros o profetas humanos?
Dios aceptó pero con una advertencia. El pueblo debía escuchar a estos maestros, puesto que hablaban en nombre de
Dios.
Ese acuerdo, sin embargo, resultó en otros problemas, para
ellos y para nosotros. ¿Cómo sé si este maestro es en realidad
de Dios? Y si el maestro es de Dios, ¿están todas las partes de
su enseñanza dirigidas a mí? Tenemos la Iglesia y la Sagrada
Escritura para ayudarnos con todas estas preguntas, pero así y
todo siempre quedan algunos cabos sueltos.
Ese es el poderoso significado de la frase en el Evangelio
de hoy: "Los oyentes quedaron asombrados de sus palabras,
pues enseñaba como quien tiene autoridad y no como los escribas". El pueblo sabía que este Jesús era auténtico
‑verdaderamente un maestro enviado por Dios. Lo sabían con
sólo escucharle.

REMEMBER SAINT ANDREW PARISH IN YOUR ESTATE
Why use Envelopes?
The regular use of Sunday envelopes is so important!!!
Whenever we do not have a record of contributions or when
contributions have ceases, we have no way of knowing whether
someone is still joining our community of worship or not. Unless
we know someone is a practicing Catholic, delays and hard
feelings can result when people want to be married, when they
want their child baptized, or when they want to be a godparent or
a sponsor. We go through this with people every day. It is the
Church, not just this parish, which insists that signs of good faith
commitment be present on these occasions. It is simple to
establish and maintain a record of attendance at Mass and
parish support—simply by using the envelopes that parish
provides. This is also necessary in order to enroll your child in
our religious education or sacramental preparation programs,
and to obtain a favorable tuition rate at a Catholic school. You
must be able to demonstrate that you are a practicing Catholic—
that you are participating at Mass and contributing to the support
of the Church. Filling out a registration form alone does not
accomplish this, USING ENVELOPES ON SUNDAY DOES OR
FAITH DIRECT. It also enables us to thank you and provide you
with a record of your contributions for tax purposes.
¿Por qué hay que usar los Sobres?
¡El uso regular de los sobres dominicales es muy importante!
Cuando no tenemos un registro de contribución o cuando las
contribuciones paran, no tenemos manera de saber si usted está
aún asistiendo a la parroquia o no. A menos que nosotros sepamos que la persona es católica practicante, esto atrasa y ocasiona resentimientos cuando las personas quieren casarse, bautizar
a un niño/a, o quieren ser padrinos. Nosotros tenemos estás
situaciones todos los días. Es la Iglesia, no sólo esta parroquia,
la cual insiste en que señales de compromiso de FE sean presentes en estás ocasiones. Es sencillo establecer y mantener un
registro de asistencia a Misa y de apoyo a la Parroquia, simplemente usando los sobres que la Parroquia les da. Esto es necesario también, para inscribir a su hijo en los programas de educación religiosa o en los programas de preparación para algún
sacramento, y para obtener un mejor precio en la matrícula de su
hijo en una Escuela Católica. Usted debe demostrar que es
Católico practicante, que usted participa de las Misas y contribuye apoyando a la Iglesia. Llenar un registro no es suficiente. HAY
QUE USAR LOS SOBRES LOS DOMINGOS O USAR FAITH
DIRECT. Esto también nos permite agradecerles y proveerles un
registro de sus contribuciones para sus impuestos.
Thank you for sharing your Time,
Talent and Treasure!!!

Yo… Usted… Nosotros, somos uno
I… You… We are One
For centuries, the Catholic Church has performed more works of charity than any other
organization in the world. Why? Because
God is love, and through that powerful statement, He teaches us that
it is in giving that we receive. His message is simple—to love God
above all else and to love others. It is through His love that I seek
your help. You are the answer to someone’s prayers, and together, we
are changing lives.
United, as one family of God, we feed the hungry, cloth the poor, care
for the sick and dying, and touch the hearts of those in despair. With
the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we nourish and educate our children,
both spiritually and intellectually. We assist the poorest of our parishes
and schools so that all persons may encounter Jesus Christ. We
provide shelter for the homeless. As Catholics, we consistently defend and respect the dignity of all human life, work to eliminate prejudice, and promote social justice. We journey together by sharing in
the sacraments—from baptism to receiving the Eucharist, to confirmation and penance, to marriage and anointing the sick. And this year,
we are blessed with sixty-five men studying in our seminaries answering their call to the priesthood to become shepherds of Christ here in
south Florida. You make all this possible.
Let us unite through our support of this year’s ABCD so that I… you…
and we can continue to carry out the good works of Jesus Christ here
in South Florida.
Durante siglos, la Iglesia Católica ha realizado
más obras de caridad que cualquier otra organización en el mundo. ¿Por qué? Debido a que
Dios es amor, y a través de esa declaración
poderosa, Él nos enseña que es al dar cuando recibimos. Su mensaje
es simple: amar a Dios sobre todas las cosas y amar a los demás. Es
a través de Su amor que yo busco su ayuda. Usted es la respuesta a
las oraciones de alguien, y juntos, podemos ayudar a aquellos que
tanto lo necesitan.
Unidos, como una sola familia de Dios, alimentamos a los hambrientos, vestimos a los pobres, cuidamos de los enfermos, moribundos, y
llegamos a los corazones de los desesperados. Con la guía del Espíritu Santo, alimentamos y educamos a nuestros hijos, tanto espiritual
como intelectualmente. Ayudamos a los más pobres de nuestras parroquias y escuelas, a fin de que todas las personas puedan encontrarse con Jesucristo. Proporcionamos refugio a las personas sin
hogar. Como católicos, constantemente defendemos y respetamos la
dignidad de toda vida humana; trabajamos para eliminar los prejuicios
y promover la justicia social. Marchamos juntos mediante la participación de los sacramentos, desde el bautismo o la recepción de la Eucaristía, la confirmación, la penitencia y el matrimonio, hasta la unción
de los enfermos. Y este año, hemos sido bendecidos con sesenta y
cinco hombres que estudian en nuestros seminarios, habiendo respondido al llamado al sacerdocio, para convertirse en pastores de
Cristo en el Sur de La Florida. Ustedes hacen todo esto posible.
Unámonos a través de nuestro apoyo al ABCD de este año, de manera que yo ... usted ... y nosotros podamos seguir llevando a cabo las
buenas obras de Jesucristo en el Sur de La Florida.
