Misa en Español
Los domingos a las 9:00AM en el Centro Carnevale (10 Lenox Ave,
Pompton Lakes, NJ). Durante el año celebramos varias eucaristías
en la iglesia principal. Algunas celebraciones son bilingües como
la Fiesta de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, la Vigilia Pascual, y el
Día de Acción de Gracias (Thanksgiving)
24 DE ABRIL 2016 – V DOMINGO DE PASCUA
“Hijitos, todavía estaré un poco con ustedes. Les doy un
mandamiento nuevo: que se amen los unos a los otros, como yo
los he amado; y por este amor reconocerán todos que ustedes son
mis discípulos” Jn 13, 31-33a. 34-35
Dios reparte sus dones a todos y quiere que todos crezcan y
lleguen a la plenitud. Y así quiere que seamos los que nos llamamos
seguidores suyos. Jesús vivió así su existencia y quiere que sus
discípulos vivamos de la misma manera. No sólo con el sentido
egoísta de buscar nuestro propio interés ayudando a los demás,
sino convencidos de que es la mejor manera de hacerlo presente en
medio de nuestras familias, de la Iglesia y de la sociedad.
LUNES 25 DE ABRIL 2016 – FIESTA DE SAN MARCOS
-EVANGELISTA (FEAST OF ST. MARK)
Marcos es considerado el autor del evangelio que lleva su nombre.
Puesto que él no fue discípulo directo de Jesús, por lo que basó
su relato -siempre según la tradición- en las enseñanzas de Pedro.
Marcos evangelizó como Obispo de Alejandría, en Egipto, donde
realizó varios milagros y estableció una iglesia y su famosa escuela
cristiana, y murió allá como mártir el lunes de Pascua 25 de abril
del año 68.
SÁBADO 30 DE ABRIL 2016 – KERMÉS – (MEXICAN PARTY)
Esta fiesta familiar para recaudar fondos para las muchas necesidades
de la comunidad se llevará a cabo en el Centro Carnevale de 7:00PM
a la media noche. Habrá bailes, concursos, comida, música y sobre
todo fraternidad, en la presencia de Cristo. Los boletos se venderán
después de la Misa y en la puerta el día de la fiesta. ¡Todos están
invitados!
DOMINGO 8 DE MAYO 2016 – DÍA DE LA MADRE –
(MOTHER’S DAY)
Daremos gracias a Dios por el don de nuestras madres con la
celebración de la Eucaristía a las 9AM en el Centro Carnevale y
luego en el sótano de la iglesia, con rifas, música, y un almuerzo
simple.
DOMINGOS DE TALLERES PARA LA FAMILIA (EN LA
IGLESIA DE SAN ANTONIO- BUTLER)
PARENTING WORKSHOPS IN SPANISH
Mayo 1 (1:30PM) Cómo criar a los niños, libres de la
drogadicción (PARENTING A SUBSTANCE ABUSE FREE
CHILD)
Estudios muestran que el 14% de los estudiantes de secundaria han
bebieron alcohol antes de los 13 años de edad. 8,6% han fumado
marihuana. En los últimos años, Nueva Jersey ha experimentado un
marcado aumento de consumo de heroína y opio, particularmente en
jóvenes entre las edades de 18 y 25 años. No hay señales de que el problema
esté disminuyendo; por el contrario, parece que está empeorando. ¡Los
padres pueden ser la solución! Estudios recientes han encontrado que
2 de cada 3 niños de 13 a 17 años dicen que, por no perder el respeto
de sus padres, deciden no beber alcohol, fumar marihuana o usar otras
drogas. Únase a nosotros para aprender qué puede hacer para influir en
una actitud saludable sobre el alcohol y otras drogas.
Mayo 22 (1:30PM) Cómo ayudar a sus hijos a ser estudiantes
exitosos (HELPING YOUR CHILD SUCCEED IN SCHOOL)
Participar activamente en la educación de su hijo(a) es el factor
número uno en el éxito académico de su hijo(a). Únase a nosotros
para aprender a comunicarse con la escuela de su hijo(a) y crear
un ambiente en el hogar que nutra el éxito escolar.
Mayo 29 (1:30PM) Cómo disciplinar adecuadamente a sus hijos
y ganar su confianza (POSITIVE DISCIPLINE - ADDRESSING
YOUR CHILD’S BEHAVIORS IN A POSITIVE MANNER
WHILE BUILDING THEIR EMPATHY AND CHARACTER)
Es fácil enseñar a nuestros hijos lo que está bien y lo que está
mal, es un poco más difícil hacer que nuestros hijos entiendan
por qué es correcto o incorrecto. Esta sesión nos enseñará
técnicas disciplinarias que desalentarán el mal comportamiento y
fomentarán un crecimiento positivo.

Junio 5 (1:30PM) La espiritualidad en la vida de nuestros niños,
¿por qué es importante? (SPIRITUALITY IN CHILDREN)
Estudios muestran que los niños que tienen al menos un progenitor
que es espiritual son más propensos a ser felices y menos propensos a
sufrir problemas emocionales y sociales. Hablemos sobre cómo nuestras
tradiciones religiosas proporcionan a nuestros hijos principios y valores
positivos, como: “En todo traten ustedes a los demás tal y como quieren
que ellos los traten a ustedes”
Comunidad Franciscana de Discernimiento en Nueva Jersey
Los frailes franciscanos de la Provincia del Santo Nombre invitamos
a hombres solteros entre las edades de 18 a 45 años, interesados
en conocer más acerca de nuestra vida franciscana, a que nos
acompañen, cada dos semanas, a orar y cenar en alguna de nuestras
fraternidades locales, comenzando el jueves 19 de mayo 2016 en
nuestro convento de San Antonio de Padua en Butler, NJ. Para
más información y reservación, por favor comunicarse con nuestro
Director Regional de Vocaciones el Padre Gonzalo Torres, OFM
[email protected] or 973-835-0374 (ext 702)
“La Provincia del Santo Nombre es una fraternidad evangélica y
misionera llamada a servir en el Este de los Estados Unidos y en
el extranjero. Arraigados en la tradición católica y franciscana,
somos discípulos de Cristo que buscamos llevar el Evangelio a la
experiencia diaria de todas las personas a través del testimonio
franciscano, la predicación popular, la enseñanza y el liderazgo
pastoral. Impulsamos el discipulado cristiano colaborando con
aquéllos a quienes servimos y solidarizándonos con todas las
personas, especialmente las alienadas, los inmigrantes y los pobres.”
PAPA FRANCISCO – Amoris laetitia – su nueva exhortación
El papa Francisco ha expuesto al mundo su visión del amor y de la familia
en la llamada Amoris laetitia, una exhortación en la que reflexiona sobre
los nuevos modelos de familia, sus valores y su papel “pilar” en la Iglesia
Católica. Además, incluye un llamamiento a evitar posturas rígidas ante
las situaciones “irregulares”, como los divorciados vueltos a casar,
y ha apoyado su readmisión en los sacramentos mediante un proceso
de acompañamiento. Estas son algunas de las citas más destacadas del
documento.
“Vaya una palabra a los que en el amor ya han añejado el vino nuevo
del noviazgo. Cuando el vino se añeja con esta experiencia del camino,
allí aparece, florece en toda su plenitud, la fidelidad de los pequeños
momentos de la vida. Es la fidelidad de la espera y de la paciencia.
Esa fidelidad llena de sacrificios y de gozos va como floreciendo
en la edad en que todo se pone añejo y los ojos se ponen brillantes al
contemplar los hijos de sus hijos. Así era desde el principio, pero eso
ya se hizo consciente, asentado, madurado en la sorpresa cotidiana del
redescubrimiento día tras día, año tras año. Como enseñaba san Juan de
la Cruz, “los viejos amadores son los ya ejercitados y probados.” Ellos
“ya no tienen aquellos hervores sensitivos ni aquellas furias y fuegos
hervorosos por fuera, sino que gustan la suavidad del vino de amor ya
bien cocido en su sustancia [...] asentado allá dentro en el alma.” Esto
supone haber sido capaces de superar juntos las crisis y los tiempos de
angustia, sin escapar de los desafíos ni esconder las dificultades.”
Formación de Fe para Adultos (Adult Faith Formation
La justicia brota de la fe es un proceso de formación para hispanos
sobre el compromiso social y la íntima conexión entre la fe y el amor
hacia el prójimo. Esta obra promueve el desarrollo espiritual de
los que anhelan profundizar la práctica de su fe en un ambiente tan
desafiante como el de hoy y en el que somos llamados para la Nueva
Evangelización, como nos invita el Papa Francisco: “vayan sin miedo
a servir.” Los interesados deben inscribirse con el Padre Gonzalo
([email protected] – 9738350374 ext 702).

American and Catholic in an Increasingly Hispanic
Church “Questions and Transitions”
M
indful of transformation that our faith communities are
experiencing everywhere thanks to the Hispanic presence,
Catholics of all racial and cultural backgrounds, including the millions
of Hispanic Catholics who have been part of the United States of
America for several generations, must contemplate two important
questions. First, how do we allow ourselves and our communities
to be sincerely transformed by the richness of the Hispanic religious
and cultural traditions? Second, how to best share with the present
generation of U.S. Catholics, largely Hispanic, the many resources that
helped the previous generations thrive? There is no doubt that we as
a Church—and as a society—are becoming something new. And this
is good news because renewal is always a sign of God’s Holy Spirit
working in our midst. Both questions point to the fact that this is a
time of transitions that require a great deal of conversion: personal,
communal, and pastoral. Transition for some Catholic communities
and institutions means embracing Christian practices of hospitality and
solidarity. For others it is about being creative to serve the pastoral and
spiritual needs of Hispanics in ways beyond the usual. And still for others
transition requires a good measure of letting go so the new voices can take
as much initiative as necessary in the forging of the new American Catholic
experience in the 21st century, fostering collaborative partnerships while
drawing from the best of their own wells.”
