From the Pastor’s Desk –
Today, the Church honors all married couples in its
observance of World Marriage Day. The marriage of two
Catholics according to the correct form (a husband and
wife pronouncing their vows before a priest and two
witnesses) is so sacred that the Church recognizes it as a
sacrament. It is also a unique gift that spouses give to
one another – an irrevocable gift of self, a love that is
faithful and life-long. I’ve included some information
about this yearly observance for you who are married or
are contemplating marriage. In our Diocese, and in most
dioceses around the country, marriage preparation takes
a minimum of six months. Please keep this in mind. I’ve
also placed some pamphlets in the church today related
to marriage. Please help yourself. May God bless all our
married couples, and everyone in our parish.– Fr. Hoppe.

Celebrating 90 Years of Catholic Education and Service to Corona
e-mail: [email protected]
website: saintleoschool.org
Our school celebrates “Catholic Schools Week” this week.
Please refer to the special green insert included in this Bulletin.
World Marriage Day, sponsored by Worldwide Marriage Encounter, is
celebrated on Sunday, February 8, 2015.
History of World Marriage Day - The idea of celebrating marriage began in Baton Rouge, La., in 1981, when couples
encouraged the Mayor, the Governor and the Bishop to proclaim St. Valentine’s Day as "We Believe in Marriage Day."
The event was so successful, the idea was presented to and adopted by Worldwide Marriage Encounter's National
Leadership. By 1982, 43 Governors officially proclaimed the day and celebrations spread to U.S. military bases in
several foreign countries. In 1983, the name was changed to "World Marriage Day", designated to be celebrated each
year on the second Sunday in February. In 1993, his Holiness, Pope John Paul II, imparted his Apostolic Blessings on
World Marriage Day. WMD celebrations continue to grow and spread to more countries and faith expressions every
year.
Symbol - Our World Marriage Day Symbol speaks readily of the role and values we proclaim. Husband
and wife are symbolically seen as two candle-like figures, reminding us that married love calls us to help
enlighten the world. The couple is joined by a heart, focusing on love as the power that fosters unity
within the couple and generates the capacity to be life-giving and inspire others to fruitfulness and unity.
Theme - Our Theme for WMD has been permanently adopted as "Love One Another". This phrase is the
command-ment given us by Jesus in John 15:12. It speaks to us in a simple but challenging way of how our Father
wishes us to live. Loving one another is a daily decision, simple but challenging.
WORLD MARRIAGE DAY PURPOSE STATEMENT: World Marriage Day honors husband and wife as the
foundation of the family, the basic unit of society. It salutes the beauty of their faithfulness, sacrifice and joy in daily
married life.

La Segunda Colecta de Hoy
La segunda colecta, consistente del sobre verde
mensual, será destinada al mejoramiento y
mantenimiento de las propiedades de nuestra parroquia.
Tenemos unos seis edificios que mantener. Les
recomiendo que traten de ofrecer la mitad de lo que
normalmente ofrecen en la primera colecta para esta
segunda colecta. Si pone, por ejemplo, $20 en el sobre
de la primera colecta, trate de poner por favor unos $10
adicionales en esta segunda. Gracias por su
generosidad.
Del Escritorio del Párroco:
En el día del hoy, la Iglesia rinde honor a todas las
parejas casadas en la celebración del Día Mundial del
Matrimonio. El casamiento de dos católicos de la forma
correcta, es decir: el esposo y la esposa pronunciando
sus votos ante un sacerdote y dos testigos, es una acción
tan sagrada que la Iglesia la reconoce como un
sacramento. Es también un regalo único que los
contrayentes se conceden uno al otro. Es un obsequio
irrevocable de uno mismo, un amor que es fiel y
perdurable. He incluido alguna información sobre esta
celebración anual para los que están casados o están
considerando casarse.. En nuestra diócesis, y en la
mayoría de las diócesis en el país, la preparación
matrimonial se toma por lo menos el mínimo de seis
meses. Tengan eso en mente por favor. También hoy he
colocado en la iglesia algunos folletos concernientes al
matrimonio. Pueden disponer de ellos. Que Dios bendiga
a todas nuestras parejas casadas, y a cada uno en
nuestra parroquia.-- el padre Hoppe.
