IMPORTANT NOTICE FROM
THE ARCHDIOCESE OF PORTLAND IN OREGON:
The Archdiocese has just learned that the IRS is delayed in
issuing IP-PINs. Thus, you may not receive an IP-PIN
during this tax season, even though you had a background
check performed in connection with service for the
Archdiocese, a parish, or school. The IRS will continue to
issue IP-PINs on a rolling basis. If you received an IP-PIN,
you must use it to file your taxes. If you have not received
an IP-PIN, the IRS advises that the best way to protect
yourself is to file your taxes early. The IRS apologizes for
the delays and the confusion it has caused.
The FAQs posted in the Archdiocese’s website were
revised accordingly and were updated on Tuesday,
January 20, 2015.
If you have questions, please contact the IRS Identity
Protection Special Unit at 1-800-908-4490 or visit a
Taxpayer Assistance Center. Please do not contact the
Archdiocese or your parish or school. Neither the
Archdiocese nor your parish or school has any further
information on the issuance of IP-PINs.

Grupo de Jóvenes en la Preparatoria
No habrá reunión el 1 de marzo debido a la Cena del
Espagueti. Esperamos que todos los jóvenes donen su
tiempo y nos ayuden en este gran evento.
El mes de febrero nos recuerda que los
esposos no sólo debemos ser compañeros de
vida, amantes en la paternidad, sino que
también debemos ser verdaderos amigos. Un
amigo verdadero e incondicional, te ama a pesar de tus
flaquezas, busca siempre tu bien, es feliz solo por
pensar estar contigo, comparte sus intimidades, está
junto a ti en las buenas y en las malas, no te abandona,
más te levantara cuando estas caído y no te busca por
conveniencia sino porque te quiere y desea tu felicidad.
Un verdadero amigo, está siempre puesto ayudarte, a
serte fiel en todo y ante todos, jamás te ofendería
verbal, física, emocional o moralmente, y hasta daría la
vida por ti. Interesantemente, las características de la
verdadera amistad son las mismas que manifiesta el
amor verdadero. Como bien dice la Escritura, no hay
mayor amor que el de aquel que da la vida por sus
amigos. Entonces pues, tu cónyuge debe siempre ser tu
mejor amigo. Aprovechemos pues esta invitación que
nos da la historia para celebrar el amor y compromiso
de entrega total que une a millones de parejas.
Recordemos que el amor que profesamos por la pareja
es un regalo que viene de Dios. Mantengámoslo integro,
vivo y fuerte teniendo a Cristo como su centro y roca.
Los invitamos a todos a vivir profundamente estas
festividades, y a valorar el amor conyugal no solo cada
febrero, sino todos los días.
BAUTIZOS
Los próximos Bautizos son en Abril 11, 2015 a las10:30am.
Si alguien está interesado en bautizar el día
11 de abril por favor de reservar su lugar con
tiempo. Es muy importante que los registre y
recuerde que los padrinos tienen que estar
casados por la iglesia. Comuníquese durante
las horas de oficina o preséntese en persona a
la oficina para registrarlos. Favor de traer el
acta de nacimiento.
