GOSPEL REFLECTION: We are now on the holiest
week of all weeks in the Liturgical Year. The Holy
Mother Church has given us this Holy Week to enter
into the Holy Paschal Mystery of the Life of Jesus, our
Lord and Savior. As we are in last days of the Life of
Jesus, let us try our best to attend to the holy week
services and let these celebrations be an encounter
with Jesus in His suffering and death. Let us identify
ourselves with one of the characters and put ourselves
into the shoes of the characters in the
Gospel. Reflecting on the last days of the Life of Jesus,
may we be transformed and be made faithful disciples
of Jesus.
Today, Palm Sunday or Passion Sunday, we
commemorate the Triumphant Entry of Jesus in
Jerusalem. On Holy Thursday, we celebrate the Mass of
the Lord’s Supper. We commemorate that night when
Jesus instituted the Holy Eucharist and the Priesthood
as He washed the feet of His disciples. As we come to
Church on Good Friday, the students of St. Philomene
School will help us to reflect and relive the Passion and
Death of our Lord Jesus. On Easter Vigil, we will have
the Service of Light and the celebration of the
Sacraments of Baptism, First Communion and
Confirmation of our brothers and sisters in the RCIA
(Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults). On Easter
Sunday, we come to Church with renewed faith in
Jesus. We gather together as a Church of the
Resurrection. Pray Unceasingly, Prepare Devoutly and
Participate Actively!
THANK YOU!: To the CCD Parents who are completing
their service hours for cleaning the Church by
polishing the pews, removing the gums and vacuuming
the floor. Also, special thanks to Omar Jimenez for
fixing the broken pew in the Church. May God
continue to bless you as you share your talents back to
God through His Church. To Laurie Tapke and Lolita
Lintingco for leading Altar Society and the Arts and
Environment Ministries. To the Worship and Liturgy
Board for their preparation, participation and
involvement. To the Stations of the Cross Sponsors of
the different ministries and parish board. And to the
new Youth Ministry Core Team.

Reflexiones sobre el Evangelio: Ahora estamos en la
semana mas Santa de las semanas en el ano liturgico.
La Iglesia nos ha dado esta semana Santa para entrar
en el misterio Pascual de la vida de Jesus, nuestro
Senor y Salvador. Mientras nos adentramos a los
ultimos días de la vida de Jesus, intentemos ser
mejores y asistir a los servicios de semana Santa y que
estas fiestas sean un encuentro con Jesus en su
sufrimiento y muerte. Identifiquemonos con alguno de
los personajes y pongamonos en los zapatos de los
personajes en el Evangelio. Reflexionando sobre los
ultimos días de la vida de Jesus, podamos ser
transformados y ser fieles discípulos de Jesus.
Hoy, Domingo de Ramos o domingo de pasion, se
conmemora la entrada triunfal de Jesus en Jerusalen. El
Jueves Santo, celebramos la Misa de la cena del Senor.
Conmemoramos esa noche cuando Jesus instituyo la
Santa Eucaristía y el sacerdocio mientras el lavo los
pies de sus discípulos. Al venir a la iglesia el Viernes
Santo, los estudiantes de la escuela de St Philomene
nos van presentar la pasion y muerte de nuestro Senor
Jesus, y así nosotros poder revivirla y reflexionar. En la
Vigilia Pascual, tendremos el servicio de la luz y la
celebracion de los sacramentos del bautismo, primera
comunion y confirmacion de nuestros hermanos y
hermanas de RICA (rito de iniciacion cristiana de
adultos). El domingo de Pascua, venimos a la iglesia
con la fe renovada en Jesus. Nos reunimos como iglesia
de la resurreccion. ¡Orar sin cesar, prepararse
devotamente y participar activamente!
Gracias!: a los padres de CCD que estan completando
sus horas de servicio limpiando la iglesia puliendo las
bancas, por remover la goma de mascar y aspirar la
alfombra. Tambien, un agradecimiento especial a Omar
Jimenez por reparar una de las bancas. Que Dios
continue bendiciendoles por compartir sus talentos
con Dios a traves de su iglesia. Gracias a Laurie Tapke y
Lolita Lintingco por cada semana cuidar del Altar y los
ministerios del medio ambiente y arte. A la Junta de
liturgia por su preparacion, participacion y adoracion.
A los patrocinadores de las estaciones de la Cruz de la
parroquia la Junta directiva. Y al equipo nuevo del
ministerio de la juventud.
Actualización: ¡El lanzamiento de la pastoral
juvenil esta a la vuelta de la esquina! Las cartas del
Festival Parroquial del 2016 saldran muy pronto. Por
favor revisen nuestra pagina en el internet y tambien
