BEWARE FAKE "CATHOLIC" CHURCHES
(pastor’s Message)
Parishioners should be aware that there many
churches around that seem Catholic and use the word
catholic in their name but are not in fact valid Roman
Catholic churches in union with the Holy Father. There
is a church at 38144 6th Street East in Palmdale calling
itself the "Chapel of Saint Ann Traditional Catholic
Church", run by a supposed "bishop". These churches
typically prey on people's ignorance in allowing them to
think they are an actual Roman Catholic church, and
they offer simplified, "shortcut" sacramental preparation
programs and charge exorbitant amounts of
money. People often come to us with Marriage, First
Communion, and Confirmation certificates from these
fake Catholic churches and discover that these sacraments are not valid. There are also fake Catholic
priests who come here from Los Angeles or from Mexico and perform sacraments at homes or in ranches in
Acton and Littlerock. Please be aware of these false
churches and priests who defraud the ignorant and who
personify the false prophets Jesus warns us of.
As our national presidential election approaches we
should prepare with prayer and reflection as we cast our
votes for candidates and for the various state initiatives. Our Archbishop Jose Gomez wrote a great column in last week's "Tidings" in which he challenged us
to see ourselves first as Catholics, not as conservatives,
liberals, or moderates. God also does not look upon us
as members of political parties but rather asks us simply
to be faithful to Jesus and His Gospel of Love. Many of
the problems we have in society today are because our
society has forgotten God. As a nation we lose sight of
our common purpose and cannot reach consensus on
issues because we lack shared values, which were in
the past the shared values of Christian
faith. Archbishop Gomez calls upon us to be guided by
the principles of solidarity and subsidiary - solidarity
reminds us we are all in this together, and subsidiary
encourages us to seek solutions on the local and even
personal level. We are not isolated islands but we depend on each other, and upon God. Guided by our
Catholic values and faith, we pray that the Holy Spirit
will be with us as we vote this Election Day, and we
pray that God will still in His mercy bless our country.
HOLYLAND PILGRIMAGE

Andrew's Abbey, who often
celebrates Mass here at St.
Mary's, will be leading a

CUIDADO HAY IGLESIAS “CATOLICAS” FALSAS
(Mensaje del Pastor)
Los feligreses deben ser conscientes de que hay muchas iglesias
alrededor que parecen católica y usan la palabra católico en su
nombre, pero de hecho no son válidos iglesias católicas en unión
con el Santo Padre. Hay una iglesia en la sexta 38144 East Street
en Palmdale que se hace llamar la "Capilla de Santa Ana Iglesia
Católica Tradicional", a cargo de un supuesto "obispo". Estas
iglesias generalmente se aprovechan de la ignorancia de la gente
en lo que les permite pensar que son una verdadera Iglesia Católica Romana, y ofrecen simplificado, "acceso directo" programas de
preparación sacramental y cobran cantidades
exorbitantes de dinero. La gente viene a nosotros con el matrimonio, la Primera Comunión, y Confirmación de estas falsas iglesias
católicas y descubren que estos sacramentos no son válidos. También hay falsos sacerdotes católicos que vienen aquí desde Los
Ángeles o desde México y realizan sacramentos en casas o en
ranchos en Acton y Littlerock. Por favor, de ser conscientes de estas falsas iglesias y sacerdotes que estafan a los ignorantes y los
que personifican a los falsos profetas que Jesús nos advierte sobre.
A medida que nuestros enfoques nacionales elecciones presidenciales debemos prepararnos con la oración y la reflexión como
echamos nuestros votos para los candidatos y para las iniciativas
estatales diferentes. Nuestro Arzobispo José Gómez escribió una
gran columna en "Nueva Vida" de la semana pasada en la que nos
desafió a vernos a nosotros mismos primero como católicos, no
como conservadores, liberales o moderados. Dios también no se ve
a nosotros como miembros de partidos políticos, sino que nos pide
simplemente ser fiel a Jesús ya su Evangelio de amor. Muchos de
los problemas que tenemos en la sociedad actual se deben a que
nuestra sociedad se ha olvidado de Dios. Como nación perdemos
de vista nuestro objetivo común y no pueden llegar a un consenso
sobre cuestiones porque carecemos de valores compartidos, que
eran en el pasado, los valores compartidos de la fe cristiana. Nuestro Arzobispo Gómez nos llama a ser guiados por los principios de
solidaridad y filial - la solidaridad nos recuerda que todos estamos
juntos en esto, y la filial nos anima a buscar soluciones a nivel local
e incluso personal. No somos islas aisladas, sino que dependen
unos de otros y en Dios. Guiados por nuestros valores católicos y la
fe, oramos para que el Espíritu Santo estará con nosotros para votar este día de las elecciones, y oramos para que Dios todavía en
su misericordia, bendiga a nuestro país.

DID YOU KNOW?
¿SABÍA USTED?
Are you prepared for the “Big One”?
Are you and your kids prepared for the next earthquake?
Think about a communications plan for your family.
Choose someone who does not live with you (preferably an
out-of-town relative or friend) whom you and other family
members can contact to check on each other in the event
that you are separated during a disaster. Carry that person’s
contact information in your purse or wallet. Make sure
children know their last name, phone number, address, and
number for the out-of-town contact person. Make sure
every member of your family knows an alternate route
home. If family members can’t get home, designate a meeting place. For particular help, you may call Assistance
Ministry at (213) 637-7650.
¿Está preparado para terremotos?
¿Están usted y sus hijos preparados para el próximo terremoto? Piense
en un plan de comunicación para su familia. Elija a alguien que no viva
con usted (preferiblemente un familiar o amigo que viva fuera de la
ciudad) a quien usted y otros miembros de la familia puedan informar
que están bien en caso de que se separaren durante un desastre. Cargue
la información de cómo contactar a la persona en su cartera o billetera.
Asegúrese de que los niños sepan su apellido, número de teléfono y
dirección y también el número de teléfono de la persona que vive fuera
de la ciudad con la que se deben de contactar. Asegúrese de que todos
los miembros de su familia conozcan una ruta alternativa a casa. Si sus
familiares no pueden llegar a casa, designen un lugar donde encontrarse. Para obtener ayuda, llame a la Oficina del Ministerio de Asistencia

EDUCACIÓN RELIGIOSA 273-5554
El Papa Benedicto XVI nos está invitando a entrar en una jornada especial donde al descubrir los
tesoros de nuestra fe y renovar nuestro compromiso con Cristo como Católicos pueda ser de especial importancia para todos los bautizados para este año de fe que empezará el 11 de Octubre del
2012 y terminará el 24 de Noviembre del 2013. Este llamado ha sido enfatizado por sus predecesores Pablo VI y el Beato Juan Pablo II. Este ultimo llamó a la comunidad de la Iglesia a volver
a comprometer su energia en el compromiso de evangelizar y de catequizar de manera que refleje
la forma que Cristo lo hizo y le llamó a esta acción “La Nueva Evangelización” El Papa Benedicto XVI nos invita a entrar en esta jornada: «La puerta de la fe» (cf. Hch 14, 27), que introduce
en la vida de comunión con Dios y permite la entrada en su Iglesia, está siempre abierta para
nosotros. Se cruza ese umbral cuando la Palabra de Dios se anuncia y el corazón se deja plasmar
por la gracia que transforma. Atravesar esa puerta supone emprender un camino que dura toda la vida. Éste empieza con el bautismo (cf. Rm 6, 4), con el que podemos llamar a Dios con el nombre de Padre, y se concluye con el paso de la muerte a la vida
eterna, fruto de la resurrección del Señor Jesús que, con el don del Espíritu Santo, ha querido unir en su misma gloria a cuantos
creen en él (cf. Jn 17, 22). Profesar la fe en la Trinidad –Padre, Hijo y Espíritu Santo– equivale a creer en un solo Dios que es
Amor (cf. 1 Jn 4, 8): el Padre, que en la plenitud de los tiempos envió a su Hijo para nuestra salvación; Jesucristo, que en el misterio de su muerte y resurrección redimió al mundo; el Espíritu Santo, que guía a la Iglesia a través de los siglos en la espera del
retorno glorioso del Señor.
Benedicto XVI Carta Apostolica Porta Fidei.
Como vivirán los Programas de Primera Comunión y Confirmación el Año de la Fé en los siguientes meses? En que clases de actividades nos conectaremos para que nos ayuden a profundizar en nuestra fe? Los dos Programas se han diseñado este año de
manera que podamos descubrir el regalo de fe y para que sean un momento especial de Gracia. El Programa de Educación Religiosa
patrocinará una serie de clases para papas y para toda la comunidad. Todos son bienvenidos a asistir.

Welcome to St. Mary’s
October 14, 2012
RELIGIOUS EDUCUCATION OFFICE 273-5554
Pope Benedict XVI is inviting Catholics to enter into a special journey where discovering the treasures of our faith and renewing our
commitment to Christ as Catholics can be of special importance for all the Baptized for a year starting October 11, 2012 and ending
November 24, 2013. This call has been highlighted from his predecessors in a very special way from Pope Paul VI and Blessed John
Paul II. The latter called the Church community to recommit its energy to evangelize and catechize in a manner reflecting Jesus’
approach and he called to this action “The New Evangelization” Pope Benedict XVI invite us to enter on this journey: “The “door
of faith” (Acts 14:27) is always open for us, ushering us into the life of communion with God and offering entry into his Church. It is
possible to cross that threshold when the word of God is proclaimed and the heart allows itself to be shaped by transforming grace.
To enter through that door is to set out on a journey that lasts a lifetime. It begins with baptism (cf. Rom 6:4), through which we can
address God as Father, and it ends with the passage through death to eternal life, fruit of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, whose
will it was, by the gift of the Holy Spirit, to draw those who believe in him into his own glory (cf. Jn 17:22). To profess faith in the
Trinity – Father, Son and Holy Spirit – is to believe in one God who is Love (cf. 1 Jn 4:8): the Father, who in the fullness of time
sent his Son for our salvation; Jesus Christ, who in the mystery of his death and resurrection redeemed the world; the Holy Spirit,
who leads the Church across the centuries as we await the Lord’s glorious return.” Benedict XVI Apostolic Letter Porta Fidei.
How would the First Communion and Confirmation Programs live the year of Faith in the coming months? In what types of activities might we engage to help us deepen our faith? Both Programs this year are designed to discover the gift of faith and as special
time of Grace. There will be a series of classes for parents and the community. The R.E. Program is sponsoring this series where
every body is invited and welcome.

O God our Creator,
Through the power and working of your Holy Spirit, you
call us to live out our faith in the midst of the world, bringing the light and the saving truth of the Gospel to every
corner of society.
We ask you to bless us in our vigilance for the gift of religious liberty. Give us the strength of mind and heart to
readily defend our freedoms when they are threatened;
give us courage in making our voices heard on behalf of
the right of Your Church and the freedom of conscience of
all people of faith.
Grant, we pray, O heavenly Father, a clear and united
voice to all your sons and daughters gathered in your
Church in this decisive hour in the history of our nation, so
that, with every trial withstood and every danger overcome
– for the sake of our children our grandchildren, and all
who come after us– this great land will always be “one nation, under God, Indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen

Natural Family Planning (NFP)
Natural Family Planning refers to natural, healthy, and morally acceptable methods
of family planning recommended by the Catholic Church to help couples achieve or
postpone pregnancy. These methods use daily observations of signs and symptoms
that reflect the hormonal changes within a woman’s menstrual cycle. Couples can
learn how to interpret these in order to recognize the natural fertile and infertile
phases of the cycle in order to achieve or avoid a pregnancy. This knowledge can
be applied to regular or irregular cycles. Natural Family Planning can be used
during a woman's entire fertile years, even during periods of breastfeeding and premenopause. There are monthly instructions at St. Mary’s parish at 10:00AM on
on the 4th Saturday of the month in Our Lady of Guadalupe room. The
instruction is FREE please preregistration is required call
Instructor: Natalie Kigerl RN, PHN 661/674-8827.
