ASCENSION OF THE LORD
ST. LUKE CATHOLIC CHURCH
IRVING, TEXAS
MAY 24, 2009
ASCENSIÓN DEL SEÑOR
From the Pastors Desk
It would be disheartening if we saw today as merely the
day the Lord Jesus left this world for good. He came to
earth and then died for our salvation, returned through the
power of the Resurrection, and then ascended into
heaven. But more importantly, on this day we also
celebrate his promise to return. This promise brings us joy
and hope when we gather as a community each week.
Jesus told his disciples and tells us through the Gospel
that he will return. But, we do not know when he will return
and therefore must live our lives as though we might meet him at any time.

Del Escritorio del Párroco
Párroco
Estaríamos desconcertados si viésemos la partida de Jesús de éste mundo como
un acto en el que “se tenía que ir” y ya, sin poderlo ver otra vez. Vino a la tierra y
murió por nuestra salvación, regresando con el poder de la resurrección, y
después ascendió a los cielos. Pero lo que es más importante, en este día
también celebramos la promesa de su regreso. Esta promesa nos trae felicidad y
esperanza cuando nos encontramos como familia cada semana. Jesús les dijo a
sus discípulos y nos dice a través del evangelio que él regresará. Aunque no
sabemos cuando será ese día lo que sí sabemos es que debemos vivir de
acuerdo a sus enseñanzas para que cuando vuelva podamos encontrarnos con
él con nuestra frente en alto sabiendo que hicimos el bien.

Adult Faith Formation
Formación de Fe Para Adultos
If you know someone searching for God, invite them to accompany you to
our new set of RCIA classes, beginning June 18. These classes prepare
adults for Baptism, and non-Catholic Christians to enter into full
communion with the Catholic Church. They also prepare Catholic adults
to receive the Sacraments of Confirmation and First Communion. Classes
are conducted in both English and Spanish. For more information, call or
visit the Adult Faith Formation office (972-259-1832 ext.238).
One of the most important missions of a parish is that of
evangelization. We fulfill this mission in part through our religious
education classes for adults (RCIA) and children and youth (CCD). Both
programs depend on adult parishioners contributing their time as teachers
(catechists), as classroom aides, and as sponsors for candidates of the
sacraments. If you are a baptized and confirmed Catholic living in accord
with the teachings of the church, please consider ‘giving a year’ to this
important work. The time commitment varies according to the program, from as little as an occasional weekday evening, to as much as once a
week for a period of a year. Programs are ready and waiting for teachers.
The reward is beyond measure. Call today! Leave your name and phone
number with Therese Frank, 972-259-1832 ext.238.
Si usted conoce a alguien que esté buscando a Dios, invítelo a que lo
acompañe a nuestras nuevas clases de RICA (Rito de Iniciación Cristiana

objetivo preparar a los adultos para recibir los sacramentos del bautismo,
y también a los no católicos a entrar en comunión con la iglesia católica.
También para recibir el sacramento de la confirmación y la primera
Comunión. Las clases son impartidas en inglés y en español. Para
mayores informes, favor de llamar al teléfono 972-259-1832 a la
extensión 238.
Una de las más importantes misiones de la iglesia es la de la
evangelización. La iglesia lleva a cabo esa misión en parte por medio de
las clases del catecismo y del RICA, tanto para los niños como para los
adolescentes y los adultos. Los dos programas dependen de los
parroquianos que contribuyen con su tiempo y con sus talentos a ser
maestros o catequistas, ya sea como ayudantes o como encargados de
algún grupo. Si usted piensa que nos puede ayudar para educar a los
niños, y adultos de nuestra parroquia entonces comuníquese con nuestra
oficina, hay diferentes programas en los que usted puede participar. La
recompensa es mucho mayor a nuestras expectativas. ¡Llámenos! Deje su
nombre y número de teléfono con Therese Frank.
