We drove down to your church on a pilgrimage to St. Gerard this past May asking him to bless us to conceive and have a child after I had miscarried. Unfortunately, I still have not been able to conceive. May I ask one of the priests or someone at the shrine to remember our special intention during the novena to St. Gerard or just in general to ask St. Gerard to hear our special intention? Thank you so much. We are most grateful for your beautiful 3 parish and wish we lived closer.

Toda las parroquias en la Arquidiócesis participan en Unidos en Misión para ayudar a las parroquias mas pobres de la Arquidiócesis de Los Ángeles. Gracias. SABÍA USTED? Póngale alto a actividades inapropiadas antes que sucedan. Enseñe a sus niños a respetar la palabra alto. Enseñe a sus hijos preescolares que alto significa alto y que sus hijos tienen el derecho de ponerle alto a personas que tocan su cuerpo. Obviamente, excepciones tendrán que ser hechas para los médicos y los padres, pero incluso los padres deben escuchar cuando un hijo no desea ser cosquilleado o abrazado. Reforzar esta excelente lección da a sus niños el poder de reconocer y poner alto al contacto físico inapropiado por parte de otros, si llegara a suceder. Together in Mission Unidos en Misión Meta/Goal $38,161 Prometida/Pledged $33,383 Recibido/Received $30,653 Reminder! Please see the chart.

All of the parishes in the Archdiocese are participating in Together in Mission which goes to help the poorer parishes in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. Thank you. Did You Know? Learn to stop inappropriate activity before it happens. Teach your child to respect the word stop! Teach your preschooler that stop means stop, and that your child has the right to stop people from touching his or her body. Obviously, exceptions will have to be made for doctors and parents, but even parents must listen when a child doesn t want to be tickled or hugged anymore. Reinforcing this excellent lesson God s plan for Family Planning (NFP) Natural family planning can help couples who have not been able to conceive, to have a baby. For more information in call : Robert Shultz and Jane El Plan de Dios para la Planificación Familiar (Planificación Familiar Natural) puede ayudar parejas que no han sido capaces de concebir, tener un bebe.
