2 LENTEN MESSAGE OF OUR HOLY FATHER FRANCIS 2014 Dear Brothers and Sisters, As Lent draws near, I would like to offer some helpful thoughts on our path of conversion as individuals and as a community. These insights are inspired by the words of St. Paul: For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that by his poverty you might become rich (2 Cor. 8-9).. May this Lenten season find the whole Church ready to bear witness to all those who live in material, moral and spiritual destitution the Gospel message of the merciful love of God our Father, who is ready to embrace everyone in Christ. May the Lord bless you and our Lady keep you safe. From the Vatican, 26 December 2013 FRANCISCUS Thank you for your support. Weekend Collections Collection for March 15 & 16, 2014 $7, Thank you for your generosity to Maria Regina Church. Gracias por su generosidad a su Iglesia de Maria Regina.

4 TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Especially during the Lent and Easter seasons, we are very conscious of the communal nature of bap sm. We stand witness to the bap sm of adults at the Easter Vigil in many parishes, and countless parishes celebrate fes ve bap sms for infants. The rule for celebra ng bap sm is that it be only once a day in any parish church, a sign of the Church s desire that bap sm be the work of the gathered community. Private bap sm is therefore a misnomer, since all bap sms, even emergency bap sms for infants in danger of death, are a public act of entrance in to the Body of Christ, the Church. In an emergency, and providing the parents desire it, anyone can bap ze by pouring water and saying, I bap ze you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. But then a erward the Church is encouraged to supply what is missing: the gathered assembly to proclaim and hear God s word, the promises, the naming, the anoin ngs, the clothing with a white garment, the candle, the Lord s Prayer, and the solemn blessing of the parents at the altar. Wonderfully, this ritual o en provides the opportunity for great rejoicing at the recovery of an infant who had been in danger. Rev. James Field, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Para ser cristiano en la Iglesia católica necesitas recibir los tres sacramentos de Iniciación, es decir, el Bautismo, la Confirmación y la Eucaristía. Si te falta uno de estos sacramentos no estás completamente iniciado. Algunos cristianos insisten que si no estás confirmado no te puedes casar por la Iglesia, pero esto no es completamente cierto. Según las leyes de la Iglesia, los cristianos que desean contraer Matrimonio deberían buscar ser confirmados, si les es posible sin grave dificultad (Canon 1065). Todos conocemos el Bautismo y la Eucaristía, pero qué es la Confirmación? El nombre lo dice todo. Con la Confirmación, confirmamos ante Dios y la Iglesia que deseamos ser cristianos por el resto de nuestra vida. Confirmarse es comprometerse, es entregarse al servicio de Dios ayudando al prójimo con la gracia y el poder del Espíritu Santo. Por eso es importante recibir una Buena preparación. La mayoría de nosotros no tuvimos opción cuando nuestra mamá y nuestro papá nos bautizaron. Nuestros padres y padrinos dijeron sí por nosotros y, si cumplieron con su compromiso, nos enseñaron con palabras y buen ejemplo como decir sí al Evangelio de Cristo. Sea que nos hayamos bautizado como infantes o como adultos, la Confirmación nos da la oportunidad de dar un sí pleno. Sí! a ese bautizo, Sí! a la Iglesia y en especial Sí! a Cristo.

5 TOGETHER IN MISSION PLEDGE BILLINGS The monthly pledge billings for the Together in Mission pledges have been mailed. It is very important that these pledges be paid so that our parish will reach and hopefully exceed our goal. Once the pledge payments have exceeded our goal, we receive all the additional funds for use in our parish ministries. TOGETHER IN MISSION PARISH GOAL: $32, AMOUNT PLEDGED : $22, AMOUNT PAID: $13, PLEDGE NEEDED: $10, NUMBER OF FAMILIES PLEDGED: 207 RECORDATORIOS DE PAGO DE UNIDOS EN MISION Los recordatorios mensuales de pago de las promesas hechas a Unidos en Misión ya han sido enviados por correo. Es muy im-portante que estas contribuciones prometidas sean pagadas para que nuestra parroquia pueda alcanzar y ojalá sobrepasar nuestra meta. Si al pagar nuestras promesas excedemos nuestra meta, todos los fondos que excedan dicha meta seran devueltos para ser usados en los ministerios de la parroquia. UNIDOS EN MISION META PARROQUIAL: $ 32, TOTAL PROMETIDO: $22, TOTAL PAGADO: 13, SALDO: $10, Numero de familias comprometidas 207 Would you consider faithfully, a pledge of $60.00 per family? This way, the burden will be light for each family to donate. If we have 500 pledges, we would make our goal complete. May God reward your generosity. Consideraría una promesa de $60.00 por familia? De esta forma, sera ligera para cada familia para donar. Si tenemos promesas de 500 familias, hacemos nuestra meta. Que Dios recompense su generosidad.
