¿Moviendose?
Por favor recuerde notificar a la oficina de la parroquia su nueva dirección y numero telefónico.
Varios sobres dirigidos a parroquianos que se han
cambiado de casa han sido devueltos por el Servicio Postal, esto hace que la parroquia incurra
en gastos extra de correo.
¿Se viste usted
Adecuadamente para la Misa?
Preparación Para Bautismo en Español
Las instrucciones para papas y padrinos serán el 7 de Mayo
a las 7:00 p.m. en la oficina de la parroquia. Los padrinos ya
deben haber recibido los sacramentos de Confirmación y
Primera Comunión, y si son casados deben serlo en el
Sacramento de la Iglesia Católica. Este programa es
obligatorio para quienes no lo hayan tomado antes. Seria
muy bueno tomarlo durante el embarazo.
Para reservaciones llamar a la oficina
665-8933.
Los niños no son admitidos a la clase
porque distraen la sesion, por favor no los
traiga.
Atuendo en la Misa
Es de buena educación vestirse bien para la Misa. Se evita usar prendas rotas, o prendas especialmente reveladoras o ajustadas.
Pantalones cortos (shorts) no son ropa adecuada para la Misa. Dichos atuendos pueden distraer a otros, o incluso demostrar falta
de respeto hacia Dios y a la iglesia. Cuando entramos a la iglesia o asistimos a la Misa, estamos en la presencia de nuestro Dios.
Demostremos una actitud de modestia y recogimiento.
Primeros Viernes
Iniciando en Noviembre cada Primer Viernes del mes tendremos la misa de 8:30 a.m. y le seguirá la Adoración hasta las 6:30 p.m.
con una solemne Bendición del Santísimo Sacramento y Misa pro-vida. (La Misa pro-vida de los primeros sábados esta suprimida).
Esta nueva Misa dará a los fieles dos oportunidades para recibir la comunión y poder así observar esta devoción. Los demás viernes
del mes la adoración al Santísimo sacramento se extenderá hasta las 7:00 p.m.
El Ministerio de Elizabeth en San Vicente esta
aquí para apoyar a las mujeres cuando un
niño nace o es adoptado y también comparte
el dolor cuando falla la infertilidad, aborto,
adopción, o cuando muerte el babe. También
tenemos una línea active de oración que entra
en acción cunado se necesita oraciones . Por
favor, llame a la oficina parroquial o Andrea
Wyatt al 669-9884 para aliento y apoyo
durante este tiempo especial.
