Hurry and submit your entry to Ann-Marie Blaney at amblaney@yahoo.com/949-632-7155. Why Tithe with Envelopes or ParishPay? Why is it important to actually use envelopes (or ParishPay) to make your weekly contributions rather than just putting cash into the collection basket? Because somewhere down the line you will probably come to the parish in need of contribution verification, especially for income taxes purposes or to qualify for Catholic Tuition Rates at your child s Catholic School. We are able to track weekly donations only when our parishioners use their envelopes or utilize electronic fund transfer through ParishPay. Loose cash or checks do not get posted to our database. To have your tithing documented please be sure to use either the envelopes or ParishPay so we may properly record your contribution to the parish. When including a check in the donation envelope, please write your envelope number (which is also your Parish ID number) in the memo line of your check, as well as list the check number on the envelope. Thank you for your assistance and God bless you for your continued generosity.

UNLAWFUL SOLICTATORS As you may know in recent weeks we've been visited by unwelcome solicitors. Originally they were not on Santiago property, last Sunday they violated Lake Forest City Ordinance covering private property and came on our property to the Parish Hall in front of the Church. We will have them removed either voluntarily or by the police. Please do not be confused the Lake Forest police know of this group, its much larger than we see and in fact are bused into Lake Forest. This is not a family living on the fringes, its a scam. However recognizing "who are we to judge" we recommend you DO NOT give them money, instead tell them to call 211. 211 is Orange County services hot-line it's answered by a human with lists of resources where one can obtain almost any service they need. food, shelter, health issues, both mental and physical.

Sixth Sunday of Easter May 21, 2017 JMJ 21 May 2017 Dearest Parish Family, God be with us always. Ever since I turned golden (50 years of age) I began noticing so many changes in my physical capabilities and limitations. My knees were not as solid as they were. My metabolism has slowed down so I have to constantly try to watch what I eat. Time truly has a way of somehow making us realize its effects in us. We are making a follow-up PSA Appeal this weekend because we realize that our facilities need more than what we initially have foreseen. Time has taken its toll on our beloved Parish Hall. Not only have our dividers in the Parish Hall need replacement, the electrical panels also need to be updated. We have also to recognize that our technical and audio-visual capabilities have to be in place to make our facilities more functional. I apologize if I am writing to you a grocery list of things that need to be done but you are my parish family and together I believe we can make this happen. Let me thank you for all that you do out of love for our Parish. God bless and take care. Love and prayers, 21 de mayo de 2017 Mi Querida Familia Parroquial, Dios este siempre con nosotros. Desde que me hice dorado (cuando cumplí 50 años) comencé a notar muchos cambios en mis capacidades y limitaciones físicas. Mis rodillas ya no eran tan solidas. Mi metabolismo se ha comenzado a detener así que tengo que revisar lo que como. De verdad que el tiempo tiene una forma de realizar sus efectos en nosotros. Estamos volviendo a revisar la Campaña MAY de 21, Servicios 2017 Pastorales este fin de semana porque nos hemos dado cuenta que nuestras instalaciones necesitan más de lo que inicialmente habíamos pensado. El tiempo dañado a nuestro querido Salón Parroquial. No solamente nuestros separadores necesitan ser remplazados, los paneles eléctricos también necesitan ser actualizados. También necesitamos reconocer que nuestras capacidades técnicas y audio-visuales tienen que ser instaladas para poder hacer nuestras instalaciones más funcionales. Me disculpo si parece que les estoy escribiendo una lista de mercado de las cosas que necesitamos hacer pero ustedes son mi familia parroquia y juntos creo que podemos hacer esto posible. Les agradezco todo lo que hacen por amor a nuestra parroquia. Dios los bendiga y cuide. Amor y oraciones, Fr. Thomas P. Thomas The Camino is coming! The Celebration is about to begin!

Over 300 parishioners joined the Living Rosary coordinated by the Liturgy Committee with the help of our Lady Queen of Peace Prayer Group and FIL -AM Marian Devotees of Santiago. A solemn and touching prayer service was executed. Lighted candles and flowers were formed in front of altar to resemble a rosary. Each bead of the rosary was prayed by our parishioners: 1st decade by our Ministry Coordinators, 2nd decade prayed by our Spanish community in Spanish; 3rd decade by our youth; 4th decade prayed by our Filipino community in Tagalog and 5th decade by our parish community in general. Beautiful Marian hymns were sung by the Santiago Minstrels including a solo of 'Ave Maria' in Latin. As part of Pope Francis' granting plenary indulgence, we will continue with the Living Rosary every 13th of the month until October, 2017. In the meantime, the beautiful statue of our Lady of Fatima you saw at mass last Sunday will remain in our Blessed Sacrament chapel for continued veneration and prayers.

Sixth Sunday of Easter May 21, 2017 Felicidades a todos los niños que este sábado 20 de mayo recibieron por primera vez a Jesús Sacramentado en su Primera Comunión. También felicitamos a sus padres, padrinos y demás familiares en esta ocasión tan especial. Las dos grandes promesas del Jesús. La primera promesa de Jesús es: la vida eterna. La segunda promesa es: El Espíritu Santo. En el Evangelio de este Domingo, Jesús dice a sus discípulos: No los dejare desamparados, sino que volveré a ustedes Yo rogaré al Padre, y él les dará otro Paráclito para que esté siempre con ustedes Pero. Qué es el Paráclito? O más bien, quién es el Paráclito? Paráclito es una palabra griega que quiere decir: Consolador, Espíritu Santo, Abogado, Intercesor, ayudante. Según el Evangelio de San Juan, la misión del Paráclito (Espíritu Santo) es morar con los discípulos después de que Jesús se haya ido de su presencia visible. Hermanos y Hermanas esta es la buena nueva! Esta promesa de Jesús, también es para nosotros! No estamos solos, el Espíritu Santo mora en cada uno de ustedes. Jesús sabe que solos no podemos, que necesitamos ayuda mientras vivimos en este mundo. Cuando te encuentres en momentos difíciles, aclama al Espíritu Santo para que interceda por ti, por tus hijos, tú esposo, tu esposa, pues el Paráclito es el gran intercesor. No temas invocar al Espíritu Santo, con palabras sencillas, no necesitas Wi-fi para comunicarte con Él, pues donde sea que te encuentres puedes aclamar su ayuda. Gracias Señor Jesús porque no estoy solo, tú conoces mi vida y conoces todo de mí, en estos momentos es cuando más te necesito. Ven espíritu Santo ayúdame, protégeme, ilumíname para que siempre cumpla tus mandamientos. Ven Espíritu Santo! Ven Señor Jesús! Dios les bendiga!
