Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time
“Share your bread with the hungry, shelter the oppressed and the homeless; clothe the naked when you see them, and do not turn your back on your own. Then your light shall break forth like the dawn, and your wound shall quickly be healed; your vindication shall go before you, and the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard. Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer, you shall cry for help and he will say: Here I am!”
Isaiah 58:7-10

A Message from Father Jesús:
Time flies and as it is hard to belief we are already in February! I hope you are doing well, especially after two weeks of rough weather. I hope we can resume all our regular church activities in the days to come. In spite of the weather, I was able to celebrate all Masses.
We were supposed to start the Bishop’s appeal this past weekend, because of the weather it was decided to postpone it to this weekend.
On February 15th Bishop Beckman will be here to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Dedication of our Church. There will be a small reception between Masses.
Lent is beginning on February 18 with Ash Wednesday. Since this is not a Holy Day of obligation, I can only celebrate two Masses. I will be offering only one bilingual Mass at each parish. However, Dcn. Joe will be celebrating a Communion Service with the imposition of the Ashes. The Communion Service will be at 12 Noon.
Our bilingual Mass will be at 8:00pm.
Un Mensaje del Padre Jesús:
¡El tiempo vuela y es difícil de creer que ya estamos en febrero! Espero que todo esté bien, especialmente después de dos semanas de mal clima. Espero que podamos reanudar todas nuestras actividades regulares de la iglesia en los próximos días. A pesar del clima pude celebrar todas las misas.
Se suponía que íbamos a comenzar la colecta del obispo el fin de semana pasado, pero debido al clima se decidió posponerla para este fin de semana.
El Obispo viene a celebrar el 25 aniversario de la bendición de nuestra iglesia el 15 de febrero en la misa en inglés.
La Cuaresma comienza el 18 de febrero con el Miércoles de Ceniza. Como este no es un Día Santo de precepto, sólo puedo celebrar dos Misas. Ofreceré solo una misa bilingüe en cada parroquia, pero también el Diácono Joe celebrará una Liturgia de la Comunión en inglés a las 12 del mediodía con la imposición de cenizas.
Nuestra Misa bilingüe será a las 8:00 p.m.
SAVE THE DATE!
On Sunday, February 15th at 11:00am Bishop Beckman will be here celebrating with us the 25th Anniversary of the dedication of our Church with a Solemn Mass. We are having a small reception between Masses. The Church will provide with finger foods and drinks. If you have any questions, please contact Maria Connell at the parish office as she is coordinating the event.
¡APARTA LA FECHA!

Habrá un pequeño convivio después de esa misa. También tendremos otro convivio después de la misa en español. Traigan algo para compartir y celebrar este aniversario de nuestra parroquia.

Dec 12 - Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe
Our Lady of Guadalupe Apparition: On December 9, 1531 a poor Aztec Indian named Juan Diego was walking near a hill at Tepeyac just northwest of Mexico City when our blessed Mother Mary appeared. Mary told him to tell the bishop to build a chapel where he was standing. Juan Diego obeyed her direction but the Spanish bishop, Fray Juan de Zumarraga, asked him for a sign verifying his claim. Juan Diego returned to the same spot, on December 12, and found dark pink Castilian roses blooming. These roses did not grow naturally in Mexico and were native to the archbishop’s home in Spain, and they were blooming when it was very cold! Juan Diego gathered up the roses in his mantle also known as tilma. He went and he opened his tilma to pour out the roses for the bishop, revealing then on the fabric the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe. All were amazed at what they saw and believed Juan Diego’s story. Replicas of Juan Diego’s mantle made with the same type of cactus fiber materials last generally only 20-40 years before disintegrating. But after almost 500 years Juan Diego’s tilma is still well preserved with the image of our Lady.

12 Dic - Fiesta de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe
La Aparición de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe: El 9 de diciembre de 1531, un indio azteca pobre llamado Juan Diego caminaba cerca de una colina en el Tepeyac, al noroeste de la ciudad de México, cuando apareció nuestra Santísima Madre. María instruyó a Juan Diego a que le dijera al obispo que construyera una capilla donde él estaba. Juan Diego obedeció sus instrucciones, pero el obispo, el español Fray Juan de Zumarraga, le pidió un signo que acreditara su afirmación. Juan Diego regresó al mismo lugar, el 12 de diciembre, y encontró floreciendo rosas de Castilla de color rosa intenso. Esas rosas no crecían naturalmente en México, y además estaban floreciendo cuando hacía mucho frío, sin embargo, eran nativas de España la tierra del arzobispo. Juan Diego recogió las rosas en su tilma. Fue y abrió su tilma para derramar las rosas en el suelo para el obispo, y la tela mostró la imagen de la Virgen de Guadalupe. Todos se asombraron de lo que vieron y creyeron la historia de Juan Diego. Las réplicas del manto de Juan Diego hechas con el mismo tipo de materiales de fibra de maguey (agave - cactus) duran generalmente de 20 a 40 años antes de desintegrarse. Pero después de casi 500 años, la tilma de Juan Diego se conserva en perfecto estado con la imagen de la Virgen.
