PRO-LIFE CORNER - Because of abortion on demand, women are treated as property. It is further degrading to women that they should treat their children as property to be disposed of as she sees fit. Lord, give us the grace and courage
to return to a love and respect for all life, born and unborn.

FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK
Dear Parishioners,
Happy Fathers’ Day to all our fathers. On Fathers’ Day parishioners many times give me this
greeting as they exit the church. They explain that I am their spiritual Father. I humbly accept their
greetings and realize that there are different types of fatherhood. The role of fatherhood is a path of life
that men have a choice to accept. Some of the types of fathers are biological fathers, fathers who are
parents, spiritual fathers and then there is the one Heavenly Father.
Unfortunately there are some men who are willing to be a biological father but are not willing to
accept the responsibility of being a parent. Sadly, these fathers abandon the mother and their child. To
be a father is a very important responsibility. St. Joseph is the church’s example of a father that was not
a biological father but out of his love for God and empowered by his heavenly Father, he became a parental
father for Jesus. He was a protector and guide for the Holy Family. We need to pray for all fathers of the
world that they may be willing to accept their call in life and prayerfully be open to the grace and strength
from God to carry out their important responsibilities as father to their family.
As we think of Fathers’ Day, we can also think of the importance of the right to religious freedom
that the founding fathers of our country made part of our heritage. This Tuesday, June 21st will be the
vigil of St. John Fisher and St. Thomas More. Dioceses around our country will be reminding Catholics
of the importance of defending religious freedom. There will be a fortnight (14 day) period of prayerful
offering that our country respects our religious freedoms in its laws. Catholics have a right not to be forced
to support abortion, assisted suicide, same sex marriage, contraception and other practices that are being
made legal. Let us ask God to help us as Catholics not to give up our right to freedom of religion and to
obey the teachings of our faith.
Rev. Darrell Da Costa
Queridos Feligreses:
Feliz Día de los Padres a todos nuestros Padres. Los feligreses muchas veces me dan un saludo ese día al salir
de la Misa. Explican que yo soy su Padre espiritual. Yo acepto el saludo humildemente y me doy cuenta que hay
diferentes tipos de paternidad. El papel de padre es un camino de la vida que los hombres tienen la opción de
aceptar. Algunos tipos de padres son los padres biológicos, padres de familia, padres espirituales y por supuesto el único Padre Celestial.
Desafortunadamente, hay algunos hombres que están dispuestos a ser padres biológicos pero no están
dispuestos a aceptar la responsabilidad de ser Padres. Lamentablemente, estos padres abandonan a la madre
y a su hijo. Ser un padre es una responsabilidad muy importante. San José es ejemplo de la iglesia de un
padre que no era un padre biológico, pero su amor a Dios y al ser capacitado por su Padre celestial, se convirtió en un padre ejemplar para Jesús. Era un gran protector y guía para la Sagrada Familia. Necesitamos
orar por todos los padres del mundo para que puedan estar dispuestos a aceptar su llamado en la vida y llevar
a cabo sus importantes responsabilidades como padres de familia recibiendo la gracia y el fortalecimiento que
viene de Dios.
Meditando en el Día del Padre también podemos pensar en la importancia del derecho a la libertad religiosa
que los padres fundadores de nuestro país hacen parte de nuestro patrimonio. Este Martes 21, de junio será la
vigilia de San Juan Fisher y Santo Tomás Moro. La Diócesis de nuestro país nos recuerda a los católicos de la
importancia de la defensa de la libertad religiosa. Habrá un período de dos semanas (14 días) de ofrecimiento
de oraciones para que nuestro país respete las libertades religiosas establecidad en sus leyes. Los católicos
tienen derecho a no ser obligados a apoyar el aborto, el suicidio asistido, matrimonio de parejas del mismo
sexo, anticoncepción y otras prácticas que se están legalizando. Pidamosle a Dios que nos ayude como católi
cos a no renunciar a nuestros derechos a la libertad de religión y a obedecer las enseñanzas de nuestra fe.
Padre Darrell Da Costa
