5 Page 5 Noticias de la Parroquia LLAMADOS POR DIOS Al acercarse la Navidad, las Escrituras del Adviento nos llevan a un mundo de sueños, señales, maravillas y el milagro del nacimiento de una virgen. Muchas veces dejamos que los grandes relatos de nuestra fe, los que son más conocidos, simplemente nos pasen sin sentirlos. El relato del Evangelio de hoy sobre los acontecimientos previos al nacimiento del Señor parece una telenovela actual. Sin embargo, la valentía de José, aun en medio de una época que debe haber sido increíblemente confusa, nos brinda un modelo a seguir. Cada semana, Dios nos llama a aceptar el camino de la bondad y la verdad por medio de la proclamación de la Palabra sagrada de Dios. Como José, somos llamados a hacer lo que el Señor nos ordena. Mientras estamos en el umbral de la Navidad, tengamos la valentía para estar abiertos a lo que sea, a lo que el Señor requiera de nosotros durante nuestra celebración del milagro de Belén Lecturas de Hoy Primera lectura La señal del Señor es que la virgen estará embarazada y dará a luz un hijo varón (Isaías 7:10-14). Salmo Va a entrar el Señor: Él es el Rey de la Gloria (Salmo 24 [23]). Segunda lectura Jesús, descendiente de David biológicamente, fue establecido el Hijo de Dios en poder. (Romanos 1:1-7). Evangelio María, la comprometida de José, quedó embarazada por obra del Espíritu (Mateo 1:18-24). Marque Su Calendario Este martes 20 de Diciembre estaremos decorando la Catedral para nuestras Celebraciones Navideñas a la 1:00pm. Acompáñenos a decorar!! Las Posadas Miércoles 21 de Diciembre A las 6:30pm en el Salón Parroquial. Todos están invitados. Nochebuenas Navideñas Cada año hacemos un esfuerzo para decorar la Catedral durante esta época de Adviento y Navidad. Apreciamos su generosidad si puede cooperar haciendo un donación en memoria de un ser querido (vivos o muertos). Los sobres se encuentran en las bancas o a la entrada de la Iglesia. Gracias por su generosidad. Padre Moisés Chikwe Hoy tendremos una recepción de despedida, después de la misa de 5:15pm para el Padre Moisés Chikwe que se regresa a Nigeria. Le damos las gracias al Padre Moisés por su servicio en la Catedral de San José y le deseamos lo mejor en su nuevo ministerio pastoral. Todos son bienvenidos.

6 Page 6 Faith Formation Faith Formation is a vital element of every Catholic parish. The role of parish faith formation is to provide organized and systematic approach to the instruction and practice of the faith for everyone in the parish community. The goal of this formation is to give each member an understanding of their faith so they can evangelize and witness to the faith in the greater secular community. The programs offered at Saint Joseph s Cathedral parish reflect the diversity of an urban Southern California parish. In addition to the weekly catechetical program special events and speakers are presented throughout the parish s pastoral year. RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) RCIA an Invitation for everyone to Community in Christ. At St. Joseph Cathedral s parish community we believe that everyone has an invitation to join the RCIA process. The RCIA s invitation is for those individuals who have not been baptized and wish to enter into a relationship with Jesus Christ in the Roman Catholic Faith Community. The invitation is for those from other Christian Faith communities who wish to become members of the Roman Catholic Church. Catholics who have not completed the sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist will find the invitation is for them to complete those sacraments. Catholics who have not been active in their faith and wish to return to an active sacramental relationship with the faith community will find the RCIA a place to have that journey. Also, Catholics who wish to renew their faith by refreshing their knowledge of the church s teaching are most welcome. Evangelization and Catechesis are the hallmarks of the RCIA at St. Joseph Cathedral. For more information write Bill Bischoff at RCIA@sdcathedral.org or call the Parish Office. Sunday Children s Faith Formation - Classes meet every Sunday in the Auditorium. English Classes 9:00-10:30am Spanish Classes 11:40am - 1:30pm For more information or to follow up on the Sunday Children s Faith Formation, please contact Alicia Gutierrez at or alicia@sdcathedral.org Youth Confirmation - The Sacrament of Confirmation is a two year faith journey. During those two years, the youth and their families are expected to participate in Confirmation Preparation Ministry. Classes are held every other Sunday from 3:00 to 5:00pm in the Auditorium. Please contact Sr. Ruth Marie Barreda SrRuth@sdcathedral.org. Baptism Parents who wish to have their child baptized at the Cathedral should contact the Baptismal Coordinator, Sonia Escamilla at the Parish Office at or info@sdcathedal.org. Parents are encouraged to make contact with us at least two (2) months in advance of a desired baptismal date. This early contact enables parents to be scheduled for the necessary sacramental formation session before the child s baptism and allows time for sponsors to obtain letters from their parish pastor. If you are a registered parishioner at St. Joseph Cathedral and need a letter of good standing in order to be a godparent for a baptism at another parish, please call the Office. Marriage Couples who are interested in celebrating the Sacrament of Marriage at the Cathedral are encouraged to visit the parish website to review our guidelines for weddings. The next step is to call the Rectory at (619) and ask to speak to the Wedding Coordinator, Lynn Martinez. Couples are expected to contact us at least 9 months in advance of the date in which they hope to celebrate their wedding.
