4 FROM THE PASTOR S DESK Dear Parishioners, This Friday, Jun 6 th, marks the 70 th Anniversary of D-Day, when Allied forces landed on the beaches of Normandy and began the liberation of Europe from Nazi domination. Today we still see the power of evil in our world, as evidenced by the kidnapping of almost 300 Nigerian girls (mostly Christians) by the Islamist terrorist group, Boko Haram. We see it also in the slaughter of innocent people in California by a deranged 22-year old gunman. An 18 th century political leader once said that all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good people to do nothing. Let us in our time be inspired by the heroes of D-Day who did whatever they could and made whatever sacrifice was needed to defeat evil. May God bless them and all who give their lives to promote goodness in the service of others! Queridos Feligreses: Msgr. Mahoney El viernes, 6 de junio se celebra el 70 aniversario de Día-D, cuando las fuerzas aliadas desembarcaron en las playas de Normandía y comenzó la liberación de Europa del dominio nazi. Hoy en día todavía vemos el poder del mal en el mundo, como lo demuestra el secuestro de casi 300 niñas nigerianas (la mayoría cristianas) por el grupo terrorista islamista Boko Haram. Lo vemos tambien en la masacre de gente inocente en California por un desquisiado pistolero de 22 años de edad. Un líder politico del siglo 18 dijo una vez que todo lo que es necesario para que el mal triunfe es que los buenos no hagan nada. Dejemos que hoy en día nos inspiren los héroes del Día-D, que hicieron todo lo posible y dieron miles de sacrificios necesario para vencer el mal. Que Dios los bendiga a todos los que entregan sus vidas para promover la bondad al servir a los demás. Mons.
