Formación de Fe
CRISTO RENUEVA SU PARROQUIA
Hombres Nov 8-9 Mujeres feb 7-8
El retiro provee un ambiente para crecimiento individual por medio de la oración, presentaciones conmovedoras, y reflexión. También es una oportunidad para
compartir con otros parroquianos sus alegrías y desafíos de vivir
una vida Cristiana en su vida familiar, en el trabajo, con amigos, y
en la sociedad.
En un domingo reciente, tuve el privilegio de ser maestra sustituta en una clase de tercer grado de Formación de Fe. Me impresionó que todos los niños supieran el Padre Nuestro y el Ave
María. Luego les pedí que alzaran la mano los que habían ido a
misa esa mañana. De los diecisiete niños solo dos levantaron la
mano. Los otros niños dijeron “nosotros no vamos a Misa”. ¡Que
tristeza! Estos niños recibieron el Sacramento de la Primera Eucaristía en mayo, pero no van a Misa. ¿Como podemos, nosotros
los catequistas, ayudarles en el crecimiento de su fe si no van a
Misa? ¿De que sirve enseñarles los Diez Mandamientos o tener
un intercambio de experiencias o explicaciones relacionadas al
Evangelio? ¿De que sirve enseñarles que se reciben gracias
cuando comulgan o cuando practican himnos para cantar durante la Misa. Mi oración al final de la clase fue: “Amado Señor, por
favor guía a estos niños y sus familias a las puertas de tu Iglesia
para que escuchen tus palabras y reciban tus gracias”. Como
padres debemos recordar las promesas que hicimos al bautizar a
nuestros hijos “Santificaras las Fiestas” con nuestros hijos.
DÍA DE LOS MUERTOS
La Comunidad Católica de St. Mark estará
celebrando las Misas conmemorativas del Día de
los Fieles Difuntos, para recordar a nuestros seres
queridos que han fallecido, el Sábado 1 de
Noviembre a las 5:30PM. Misa en Ingles y 7:30pm Misa en
Español.
Se les invita a todos los parroquianos que recientemente han
perdido a un ser querido, a participar en la procesión de entrada
y colocar una foto del difunto, ya sea familiar o amigo, en el lugar designado para éstas fotos frente al altar mayor. Nos reuniremos en el vestíbulo de la Iglesia a las 5PM y a las 7PM para la
procesión. Por favor escriba su nombre y número telefónico
atrás de la fotografía y no olvide recogerla al final de la Misa. Si
desea ser parte de la procesión, favor de avisar al 972-423-5600,
ext 230.
También se les invita a todos los parroquianos a escribir los
nombres de sus seres queridos difuntos en un libro especial de
“Conmemoración del Día de los Fieles Difuntos” que se encontrará en el vestíbulo de la Iglesia hasta el 1 de Noviembre. Este
libro con todos los nombres de los difuntos, se incluirá en la
procesión de entrada de la Misa y se colocará en el altar durante
la Misa del Día de los Fieles Difuntos.

FORMACION DE FE: 972-423-4715
One recent Sunday, I had the privilege of being a substitute in a
third grade faith formation class. All the children were able to
recite the Our Father and Hail Mary, most impressive! I then
asked the children to raise their hand if they had already attended Mass that morning. Two out of seventeen children raised
their hands. Then as the saying goes “out of the mouth of babes”
the other children said “we don’t go to Mass.” So sad, these very
children celebrated the Sacrament of First Eucharist last May,
but they don’t attend Mass. How can we as catechists help the
children grow in their faith if they are not attending Mass? What
is the point in teaching the Ten Commandments, or exchanging
experiences and thoughts related to the Gospel? What is the
point in teaching about the graces we receive after going to
Communion or practicing songs that we sing during Mass? My
prayer after class was: “Dear Lord, please guide these children
and their families to the doors of your church so that they can
listen to your words and receive the many graces around us. May
we as parents be reminded of the promises we made at our
child’s Baptism and remember to “Keep Holy the Sabbath” with
our children by our sides.

An excerpt from the Baptismal Rite:
You have asked to have your child baptized. In doing so you are
accepting the responsibility of training him (her) in the practice of
the faith. It will be your duty to bring him (her) up to keep God's
commandments as Christ taught us, by loving God and our
neighbor. Dearly beloved, this child has been reborn in baptism.
He (she) is now called the child of God, for so indeed he (she) is.
In confirmation he (she) will receive the fullness of God's Spirit. In
holy communion he (she) will share the banquet of Christ's
sacrifice, calling God his (her) Father in the midst of the Church.
In the name of this child, in the Spirit of our common sonship, let
us pray together in the words our Lord has given us: Do you
clearly understand what you are undertaking?

Black Bag Collection : THIS WEEKEND
The volume of requests from those needing assistance in Plano

SVdP solicits your help to meet the increased need.
In the last three months, we have helped 219 families, assisting
644 persons and distributing $35,918 to the needy in our local
community for shelter and utility assistance.
October 19th is World Mission Sunday!
This year we are invited to reach out and help
build the Church in Mongolia, the world’s youngest
Catholic Church, as well as local churches throughout the Missions, in the most remote areas across
our world. Through the work of these churches,
and their witness to Christ, the poor receive practical help and experience God’s love and mercy, His hope and
peace. Please keep the Missions in your daily prayers. Please
come prepared next weekend to give generously in the collection for the Society for the Propagation of the Faith. For more
information, please visit www.IAmAMissionary.org
The St. Vincent de Paul Black Bag Collection is the weekend of
October 12th. The Black Bags will be passed around immediately
following the regular collection during the offertory portion of
the Mass.
The St. Mark Conference provides direct assistance for basic services to the most needy within our parish community. This mission is 100% funded by parishioner contributions and 100% of
contributions go directly to those in need.
If you miss the second collection opportunity, please feel free to
place your donation in the Poor Box. Your continuing generosity
to this shared mission is greatly appreciated.
