CONFESSIONS Saturday: 3:00-4:30pm & 7:30-8:30pm; Eve of Holy Day & Thursday before First Friday: 4 -5:00pm I wish to greet all mothers in our parish community a very happy Mother’s Day. Nowadays, this special day has practically become a world celebration of the importance of the role of mothers in the family. At this time in our history when the value of family is constantly criticized and systematically undermined, it is now very crucial to focus on the role of the family in society as the basic unit of church to ensure that we do not lose sight of what is essential in life. BAPTISM English: every 3rd Saturday; Spanish: every 2nd Saturday This Week at a Glance It is also very providential that this weekend we celebrate the Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord into heaven. Jesus went up to heaven in his resurrected body in the sight of his eleven apostles 40 days after he was raised from the dead. Traditionally speaking, this feast was celebrated on a Thursday before the Seventh Sunday of Easter. Here in the Ecclesiastical Province of California where the Archdiocese of Los Angeles belongs, we celebrate this feast on the Seventh Sunday of Easter. This is to ensure that many people would be able to attend the celebration as compared to celebrating it on a Thursday. Celebrating the feast on a Sunday means it becomes perpetually a holiday of obligation for all Catholics in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.

I thank God for this momentous event in the life of our young people who have responded to the call of God to follow his son Jesus. The sacrament of confirmation conferred to these young people makes them fully members of the body of Christ, the Church and are now challenged to walk with faith in God in the way they conduct their lives as disciples of Jesus. Last Saturday morning, we also give thanks to God for those who have received the sacrament of the Eucharist for the first time. They are those young children who have finished their catechetical formation under the Office of Sacramental Formation of our parish. I thank the parents and catechists of our parish for their dedication and commitment to share their faith in God to our children. This year we have decided to have special celebration of the mass for these children. We started with the English group last Saturday at 10am and the Spanish group at 1pm. Next Saturday we will have the last group in Spanish receiving the Eucharist for the first time. All these activities in our parish community would not have been a success without the support and dedication of our parish staff and the cooperation of the different liturgical ministries. These people have given their time, talent and treasures to the church to ensure that we fulfill our mandate to be one, holy and apostolic. I sincerely thank all of them for their wonderful help. I hope and pray that we can continue our task of bringing the Good News to others in the best way possible in this community of faith. Thank you so much and may God bless us all. 2 Mass Intentions Parish Announcements MONDAY, May 9th 12:00PM James Roha †; Wendy Rudd TUESDAY, May 10th 12:00PM Weekend of May 1, 2016 James Mole †; Arturo Lopez (sick) WEDNESDAY, May 11th 12:00PM Mario Dollete THURSDAY, May 12th - Sts.

The sanctity of human life is the foundation of the Christian religion. It is sacred because when God made the universe, He first made the inanimate world of sun, moon & stars; then the non-rational world of plants and animals. Finally, He made man ~ in His own likeness. Every time a human being is conceived, God directly and immediately creates a human soul ~ only God can create the soul which is to animate the body and make it a human person. Human life is sacred because we are free to choose to love & serve God. Human life is sacred because God became man in order to redeem us from sin. Human life is sacred because at Baptism we receive a share in God’s own life. Human life is sacred because, by the grace of God, we can understand this by faith. Because human life is sacred, it belongs to God. Abortion thus becomes not only an offense against human dignity, but a crime against the Divinity. ~~~~~~~ Until all are welcomed in life and protected in law. Join us in the Rosary, Chaplet of Divine Mercy & song. Many voices will end abortion & euthanasia. REGISTER NOW FOR THE 2016-2017 SCHOOL YEAR Can your child pray and talk about God at school?

DidYouKnow Know the signs of human trafficking Publication date: 5/9/2016 Human trafficking claims many young victims every year, and often, we see these victims in our daily lives. It is important to recognize the signs of abuse and to know how to interact with possible victims. The best way to start a tough conversation with teens who may be at risk is simply to talk to them—ask what’s going on in their lives, and if they are okay. Signs of abuse include suspicious or inexplicable injuries, avoidance, or reliance on an older “friend.” For more information please visit http://www.missingkids.org/1in5. 2016-2017 Registration: Sunday, June 5th 9:00AM-12:00PM Parish Hall _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ● Conozca las señales del tráfico humano El tráfico humano reclama cada año a muchas víctimas jóvenes, y muchas veces vemos a estas víctimas en nuestra vida diaria. Es importante reconocer las señales de abuso y saber cómo interactuar con posibles víctimas. La mejor forma de comenzar una difícil conversación con adolescentes que pueden estar en riesgo es simplemente hablando con ellos, preguntándoles qué está pasando en sus vidas y si ellos están bien. Señales de abuso incluyen heridas sospechosas e inexplicables, evasión, o dependencia en un/a “amigo/a” mayor.

Quiero saludar a todas las madres en nuestra comunidad parroquial. Hoy en día, este día especial, prácticamente se ha convertido en una celebración mundial de la importancia del papel de la madre en la familia. En este momento de nuestra historia que el valor de la familia está constantemente criticada y sistemáticamente socavada, ahora es muy crucial para centrarse en el papel de la familia en la sociedad como la unidad básica de la iglesia para asegurar que no se pierde de vista lo que es esencial en la vida. También es muy providencial que este fin de semana se celebra la Solemnidad de la Ascensión del Señor a los cielos. Jesús subió al cielo en su cuerpo resucitado a la vista de sus once apóstoles 40 días después de resurrección. Tradicionalmente, esta fiesta se celebró en un jueves antes de el Séptimo Domingo de Pascua. Aquí, en la Provincia Eclesiástica de California, donde la Arquidiócesis de Los Ángeles pertenece, se celebra esta fiesta en el Séptimo Domingo de Pascua. Esto es para asegurar que muchas personas serían capaces de asistir a la celebración, en comparación con la celebración en un jueves. Celebrando la fiesta en domingo significa que se vuelve perpetuamente una fiesta de precepto para todos los católicos en la Arquidiócesis de Los Ángeles. El domingo pasado tuvimos el privilegio de tener al Obispo Thomas Curry preside la confirmación de nuestros jóvenes y algunos adultos en el programa de RICA. Doy gracias a Dios por este acontecimiento trascendental en la vida de nuestros jóvenes que han respondido a la llamada de Dios a seguir a su hijo Jesús. El Sacramento de la Confirmación confiere a estos jóvenes los hace completamente miembros del cuerpo de Cristo, la Iglesia y ahora tienen el reto de caminar con fe en Dios en la forma en que conducen sus vidas como discípulos de Jesús. El pasado sábado por la mañana, también damos gracias a Dios por los que han recibido el sacramento de la Eucaristía por primera vez. Son esos niños pequeños que han terminado su formación Catequética bajo la Oficina de Formación Sacramental de nuestra parroquia. Doy las gracias a los padres y catequistas de nuestra parroquia por su dedicación y compromiso de compartir su fe en Dios a nuestros hijos. Este año hemos decidido tener una celebración especial de la misa para estos niños. Empezamos con el grupo de Inglés el pasado sábado a las 10am y el grupo español a la 1pm. El próximo sábado tendremos el último grupo en español recibir la Eucaristía por primera vez. Todas estas actividades en nuestra comunidad parroquial no habrían sido un éxito sin el apoyo y dedicación de nuestro parish staff y la cooperación de los diferentes ministerios litúrgicos. Estas personas han dado su tiempo, talento y tesoros a la iglesia para asegurar que cumplimos con nuestro mandato de ser una, santa, católica y apostólica. Agradezco sinceramente a todos ellos por su maravillosa ayuda. Espero y rezo para que podamos continuar nuestra tarea de llevar la Buena Nueva a los demás de la mejor manera posible en esta comunidad de fe. ¡Muchas gracias y que Dios nos bendiga a todos! ¡ FELIZ DIA DE LAS MADRE!
