News from the Pastor...
Sept. 15th
Town Hall Meeting:
PERPETUAL ADORATION
Crying Room Conversion to Eucharistic
Chapel
Come Let Us Adore Him
Join us for a Town Hall meeting with our Pastor,
Father Bill, on Tuesday, Sept. 15th in Cavanagh Hall, at
7:30pm to 8:30pm to discuss and share on ideas for a
permanent Perpetual Adoration Chapel. All views and opinions
are welcome.
One of the most beautiful, powerful, exciting, and
awesome aspects of our Catholic-Christian faith is our
cherished believe in the EUCHARIST, that it is truly the Body
& Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ. An ancient tradition is to be
in the presence of the EUCHARIST, that is to be in the real
presence of Our Lord, to adore Him in a spirit of thanksgiving
and love.
We are thankful to God for all that He has given us,
and in that thankfulness we may also express our prayers and
petitions for special needs within our family, friends, nation and
world. A Perpetual Adoration Chapel is available for prayer 24
hours a day – every day of the year!
Adoration is also a profound prayer of love. We adore
the Lord. We look at the host displayed in a monstrance for
viewing, and we adore, we love and we feel His love for us.
We are thankful for God’s unconditional love for us and thus
we cannot help but to adore Him.
We have a perfect place for a PERPETUAL
ADORATION chapel. Some remodeling and special
preparation of the outside entrance must be done first. The
proposal is to convert the current crying room into this chapel.
The outside entrance would be reconfigured to include a ramp
and a door with a touch-pad combination lock (given to any
registered parishioner). This entrance would be along the rose
garden, under the chapel’s stain glass windows.
Part of the remodeling would include a wall and
secondary door to provide a passage way to the sanctuary;
seating would have to be turned to face the west wall (away
from the altar) so that people would be able to enter without
walking in front of the Blessed Sacrament in the monstrance
(the Tabernacle would not be moved as a monstrance will be
used). A special grill would protect the monstrance and
Blessed Sacrament within.
The Central San Gabriel District of the Archdiocesan Council
of Catholic Women will have its luncheon and District Meeting
on Monday, September 28, 2015. It will be held in Cavanagh
Hall at Sacred Heart Church, Covina. The day will begin at 9
a.m. It includes a continental breakfast, speaker Fr. Eugene
Lee, Mass, and a lunch catered by “Ribs to Spare”. Meering
concludes at 1:30 p.m. Cost for the Lunch is $15 prepaid.
Please make checks payable to Sacred Heart CCW and mail to:
Corina Hiel—18319 Bellbrook St. Covina, CA 91722. For
info, call Corina 626)966-2639.
All Catholic women are automatically members of the ACCW.

Holy Thursday
Morning Schedule Change
After discussion with our clergy, pastoral staff and lay
leaders, I have approved a change in our Holy Thursday
schedule beginning in 2016 and for the years to follow.
Starting this coming Holy Week there will be no 8:15am Mass
on Holy Thursday. The only Mass of the day will be the Mass
of the Lord’s Supper at 7:30pm.
This change brings our parish in line with both Church
law and with authentic tradition. The truth is that traditionally
there is only ONE Mass on Holy Thursday. And the fact of the
matter is that in the official Roman Missal, there is no morning
Mass for Holy Thursday, only the evening Mass of the Lord’s
Supper. There are no prayers and no Scripture for any kind of a
morning Mass on Holy Thursday.
For some years we have had a morning Mass on Holy
Thursday either using the Mass of Wednesday (the day before)
or by shortening the evening Mass of Holy Thursday.
However, the instructions and liturgical law of the Church
make it clear that the only Mass of Holy Thursday is to be
celebrated in the evening.
This may sound very strange and a little difficult to
accept. However the holiest week of the year is Holy Week and
it begins with a one-of-a-kind (only once a year) Mass on Palm
Sunday. It is very special, very different to mark the beginning
of this most special and most holy week of the year.
The holiest days of the year are called the TRIDUUM
and are: Holy Thursday + Good Friday + Easter Vigil Holy
Saturday night. The liturgy each of these days is entirely
different than any other day of the year. They are not ordinary
days, there is nothing typical about them and therefore they
must be celebrated in the most special and most appropriate
ways possible. A unique liturgy for each day, nothing like it
the rest of the year because no other day is anything like it. A
very important part of the uniqueness of the specialness is that
on Holy Thursday the only Mass of the day is the “Mass of the
Lord’s Supper” celebrated that evening.

FEAR NOT
In these times, there is plenty to be afraid of, if we
only look around. It seems that every day the news media
have yet more bad news to tell: wars, disease, terrorism,
drought, social unrest, and more. Some people have
stopped using clock radios to wake up in the morning,
preferring a jarring buzzer to the even more jarring
morning news. What more do we need before we realize
that we are finite creatures, and while there is much we
can do to make our world better, ultimately there is a lot
that is simply not within our grasp? To this our loving
God says, “Be strong, fear not!”
We must do what we can to make our world a better
and safer place, but we must also realize our limits and
that our ultimate safety is in the hands of God. We can be
comforted by the realization that God loves us beyond
measure, and will give us every help in our efforts to
make our world a loving and safe place for everyone.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
Orthodox Christians have a saying about the reality of
sin. They speak of “this holy and sinful Church, which we
love.” We know all too well the effects of sin on the faith
community. From our earliest days, we have seen baptism
as a place where the old self dies in Christ, dies to sin, and
rises to new life. Our ancestors in faith held that
post baptismal major sin was unthinkable. Yet, as one
Baptist minister once explained, “We know that sin is
drowned in the water, but it would appear that the devil is
a pretty good swimmer.”
The origins of the sacrament of penance have to do
with a similar insight among bishops in the early church.
A critical question for them was whether or not a baptized
person who had committed a public sin could be
re established in church life, forgiven, and restored.
Forgiven, yes, was an early answer, but restored was
another matter. Penance would be a permanent lifestyle
for the forgiven; they would live at the margins of the
community, clearly visible in distinctive garments, and
their access to the table of the Eucharist was restricted.
The harsh beginnings of public penance led in time to a
true treasure of our tradition: the ability to find our way
home through the ministry of others, and a way for all of
us sinners to experience the gentle embrace of our
forgiving Lord.

Parish Events & News...
Sister Joanne Gibbons, CSJ - Passes
We regret to announce the passing of Sister
Joanne Gibbons on August 29th. Sister working
along with Sister Lynn Roebert served are parish
school as “Co-Principals” from 1986 to 1998. After
retirement, both volunteered as catechists in our
Religious Education program; and as volunteers at
Citrus Valley Hospice and at City of Hope in Duarte.
In January 2011 she returned to her
motherhouse in Nazareth, Michigan.
Sister Joanne was 85 years old and 68 years a
member of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Nazareth. Her
rosary & vigil were Sept. 1st with funeral Mass on
Sept. 2nd. Services plus burial were at the
motherhouse. Sister Joanne suffered recently with
cancer, in particular a brain tumor. Writing to
friends here we know that she accepted the reality of
her illness and eventual passing with great grace,
unquestioned faith and true love for the Lord Jesus
Christ. She surrendered herself to the Father, Son &
Holy Spirit under the loving guidance and support of
the Virgin Mary and that of her religious community.

Starting Sept. 12th & 13th
Second Collection to Follow First
Collection
Will Follow Immediately After First
Starting with our Facilities Fund Second Collection on the
weekend of Sept. 12th & 13th --- whenever we have a
second collection it will then be taken up immediately
after the first collection. This will allow for a more
prayerful time after communion. Your personal reflection
and silent prayer will no longer be interrupted by a second
collection.
The second collections are very important as they support
different charities and programs serving the poor, elderly,
sick and needy children along with helping victims of
natural disasters. They help people in need here at home
and around the world. We thank you for your generous
support of these critical needs and pray you will continue
to be generous. At the same time we want to encourage
and support your prayer after communion.
PROCEDURE
The first collection will be taken up as usual and placed
by the ushers in the large presentation basket (done at the
break in pews) and for safety reasons brought forward and
placed on the floor just inside the communion rail. The
second collection will then begin immediately and when
finished will be placed in a distinctly different large
presentation basket and along with the gifts of bread &
wine will come up the center aisle to be presented to the
priest. An usher will carry the second collection and will
hand it the priest. The same usher or a second usher
coming forward at the same time will give the first
collection to the priest. Next the bread and wine will be
passed to the priest.
Throughout both collections our Music Ministries will
sing an appropriate hymn. The priest receives both
collections plus the bread & wine and passes them to altar
servers or the sacristan. The priest then goes up to the
altar and continues Mass as usual.
This has the added grace of blessing in Thanksgiving your
generous gift through the second collection as it has been
blest by the Offertory Hymn and then blest by being at the
altar for the Eucharist. The two different presentation
baskets to be used for each collection are distinctly
different to avoid any later confusion.
New Collection Procedure
Starts Sept. 12th & 13th

“Unaccompanied Children Need You”
Do you speak Spanish, Mam, Quiche, Kanjobal,
Mixtec, or Nahuatl? You are invited to be part of a
collaborative effort in conjunction with KIND (Kids in
Need of Defense) and the Office of Life, Justice & Peace,
Archdiocese of LA to translate for unaccompanied minors
who come from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras &
Mexico.
These children risk their lives to reunite with
parents or family members. Many leave their country of
origin to escape violence, gangs, and/or being forced into
prostitution or child slavery. Once they reach the US they
are taken into custody by Immigration. KIND intervenes
and secures pro-bono attorneys for many of them.
Lawyers who represent these children need your
assistance in helping with translation during the interview
meetings with the minors. Often times, these children are
more comfortable in speaking with an attorney when
someone who speaks their native language is present
during these meetings.

NO TEMAN
En estos tiempos, hay muchas razones para temer,
con tan sólo mirar a nuestro alrededor. Tal parece que
cada día los medios de comunicación tienen más malas
noticias que anunciar: guerras, enfermedades, terrorismo,
sequía, disturbios sociales, y mucho más. Algunas
personas han dejado de usar los radios despertadores
prefiriendo ser despertados por la sacudida de la alarma
chillona y no de las malas noticias matutinas. ¿Qué más
necesitamos para darnos cuenta de que somos criaturas
limitadas, y aunque hay mucho que podemos hacer para
mejorar nuestro mundo, en última instancia hay mucho
que simplemente no está a nuestro alcance? Para esto,
nuestro amoroso Dios nos dice: “¡Ánimo! No teman.”
Debemos hacer todo lo que esté a nuestro alcance
para hacer de nuestro mundo un lugar mejor y más
seguro, pero también debemos reconocer nuestros límites
y que nuestra seguridad absoluta está en manos de Dios.
Nos puede servir de consuelo la realización de que Dios
nos ama sin medida, y nos dará toda la ayuda necesaria
para hacer de nuestro mundo un lugar acogedor y seguro
para todos.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
El Rito del Bautismo contiene varios elementos
simbólicos que merecen nuestra atención. El agua, por
ejemplo, es un elemento de doble significado. Es símbolo de
vida y pureza. Además, la misma agua que es símbolo de
vida, también puede traer la muerte. En el Rito del Bautismo
el agua da muerte a nuestro viejo ser para hacernos renacer a
la vida abundante que nos promete el Señor.
Una vez renacidos se nos recuerda que nos hemos
revestido de Cristo (las vestiduras blancas), que Dios nos ha
iluminado (la vela) y nos ha ungido (seleccionado) con el
crisma, óleo perfumado con que se consagraban los reyes,
profetas y sacerdotes en tiempos bíblicos.
Todos estos símbolos son bellos, pero a mi parecer, el
más bello es el de Efata, que en griego significa ábrete. El
ministro bendice los oídos del bautizado para que se abran a
la Palabra de Dios y le bendice también la boca para que
proclame no sólo alabanzas a Dios, sino para que sea un
pregonero de su palabra. El cristiano debe ser una persona
atenta a la voz de Dios para poder servirlo y proclamarlo al
prójimo.

¿SABÍA USTED?
Enseñe a sus hijos a respetar sus límites
personales
Enseñar a sus hijos sobre la importancia de
los límites personales y el espacio personal
les ayudará a desarrollar buenas relaciones.
Los niños deben sentirse cómodos en
cualquier situación y ser capaces de expresar
cómo y cuándo les gusta ser abrazados y
acariciados. Si un niño se encuentra en una
situación incómoda, un adulto de confianza
debería resolver la situación inmediatamente.
Como padre, usted debe respaldar los límites
establecidos por su hijo con amigos y
familiares.
