Comunidad Hispana

Posted on Dec 10 , 2011 in Announcements & Avisos

Queridos Fieles:

Hace 480 años que la Madre de Dios se apareció a San Juan Diego.  Y en la década después millones de personas vinieron a Jesucristo con fe y la Iglesia Católica creció abajo la protección de la Bendita Madre.  Lo tuve que ser la acción del Espíritu Santo.

Muchos cambios existieron cuando Santa María apareció.  En día de hoy tenemos muchos cambios ocurriendo en la cultura y en la Iglesia.  Espero que el Espíritu Santo pueda renovarme y esta comunidad Católica con una fe fuerte y sincera.

Gracias a todas personas por su tiempo, caridad, y sacrificios que hicieron esta festividad en honor de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe un evento religioso y maravilloso.   Dios les bendiga siempre.

¿Saben que el estacionamiento (sur del templo) está gratis a los feligreses que asisten las misas los fines de semana?   Si quiere usar nuestra estacionamiento dentro el templo y la escuela – Favor de NO PARKING  en la entrada (bloqueando vehículos de emergencia) ni detrás otros vehículos que necesiten salir antes de ti.  Gracias por su consideración amable.

A causa que nuestro estacionamiento parroquial es pequeño – Favor de estacionarse por el templo o el negocio en las oficinas parroquiales.  Gracias doble.

Y sé que el horario de trabajo es difícil pero si hay algo que puedo hacer para usted o sus compañeros en el lugar de su negocio – Favor de contactarme.   ¿Está bendita la casa o el negocio?  La bendición es una manera de mantenga el Espíritu Santo de Cristo en el corazón y trabajo.  Lo sabe Ud.        Paz y Bien, Fr. Dan

Bethlehem Giving Tree

Posted on Dec 10 , 2011 in Announcements

This year our tree will focus on gifting 180 SB-SM Students in our school.  Almost all of our students live in families that are below the national poverty level.

Each child has selected an EDUCATIONAL game or toy or adventure; appropriate to their age and grade level.

An envelope/ornament hangs on the Bethlehem-Giving Tree located in the church.  It contains the students Grade, Selected Wish Gift, and its Cost (between $15-$25).  If you like, gift more than one child.

 

Here’s all the donor need do:

 

1.  Select an Envelope/ornament from the Giving Tree.

 

2.  Insert the needed funds for the gift in the Envelope.

 

3.  Write your name on the Envelope, if you like.    That

child will pray for you at a School Mass in 2012.

 

4.  Place the envelope in the Collection Basket, or bring

it to the parish office, or get it to us somehow.

 

5.  Before the DEADLINE :  Sunday, December 18.

 

We will do all the gift ordering and shipping.  This is our parish effort for this 2011 Christmas only.

Some will find this convenient.  Some will miss going shopping, and the feeling of wrapping gifts for the needy.  But in order to be fair to each child we had to focus on educational gifts of equal value.  We hope you understand.  We know your sacrifice will be a blessing.
