RELIGIOUS ED (K-12TH GRADES)
Coordinators: JoAnna Rubio & Delia Blanco
We are so grateful for each of our Catechist! Our program is effective
and made possible because of their dedication to the Gospel and our
faith. As our new year approaches, we want to ensure that our team is
spiritually nourished and ready for this year of ministry. There will be
a retreat on Saturday, August 9, from 9am-6pm. Registration is at 8:45
AM. This retreat is a great chance to renew your faith, live your baptism
and fall in love with Jesus once again. All catechists are strongly
encouraged to attend. CATECHISTS TEACHING SACRAMENTS
(ALL CONFIRMATION AND COMMUNION YEARS) ARE
REQUIRED TO ATTEND. We will be closing with prayer and a holy
hour. It is necessary that you complete the retreat in its entirety. The
retreat will be given by our invited keynote speaker, Noe Rocha. Noe
has done extensive ministry all over the United States and in Mexico.
His zeal for ministry is rooted in the love of God he experienced in
his radical conversion at the age of 27. There will be no fee for the
retreat but we ask that attendees prayerfully consider a donation at the
end of the retreat to cover the cost of breakfast and lunch. PLEASE,
RSVP BY FRIDAY, AUGUST 1. YOU MAY CALL THE RE OFFICE:
(512)312-2520 ext. 137, 138, 129, or 108 or via email: mariarocha@

17th Sunday in Ordinary Time
God has created each of us with gifts treasures like the pearl in today’s Gospel.
How are we being called to give back? We
all have something to give, because God
has been generous with us. Some have
more time, some more talents, some have
more monetary resources. How can you
share what God has given you this week?
Can you be present to someone in need?
Can you look at those who are begging
on street corners? How can you share the
treasure of yourself this week?
Julio 26-27-2014

Dios nos ha creado a cada uno de nosotros
con dones—tesoros como la perla del
Evangelio de hoy ¿Cómo estamos siendo
llamados a actuar con gratitud por esos
dones? Todos tenemos algo que dar,
porque Dios ha sido generoso con nosotros.
Algunos tienen más tiempo, algunos
más talentos, algunos tienen recursos
monetarios ¿Cómo puede usted compartir
lo que Dios le ha dado esta semana?
¿Puede usted estar presente para alguien
necesitado? ¿Puede usted mirar a aquellos

Unaccompanied Minor Children: Fact Sheet Updated July 14, 2014 •
Since 2011, the United States has seen an unprecedented increase in the number of unaccompanied migrating children arriving at the U.S./Mexico border. These children come from all over the world but predominately from Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras. •
Whereas in fiscal years 2004-­‐2011, the number of unaccompanied children apprehended by the US government averaged around 6,000-­‐8,000/year, the total jumped to over 13,000 in 2012 and over 24,000 in 2013. •
The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) initially estimated that about 60,000 unaccompanied minors would enter the United States during 2014. Recent government estimates have been revised, projecting 90,000 child arrivals in 2014 and 130,000 in 2015. •
ORR provides new populations with the opportunity to maximize their potential in the United States. The programs provide people in need with critical resources to assist them in becoming integrated members of American society. •
Reasons these minors have come to the United States include, but are not limited to, the following: o To escape violence, abuse or persecution in their home countries o To find family members already residing in the United States o Were brought into the United States by human trafficking rings •
The children are being held in Customs and Border Protection detention facilities until they can be processed and accepted into temporary living shelters. •
ORR oversees 94 permanent shelters around the country and three emergency shelters which provide for the children's basic needs, including shelter, food, and medical attention, while trying to identify responsible family members in the United States to whom the children can be released. •
Current law permits unaccompanied children to remain in the country until their request for asylum or immigration relief is considered by an immigration judge (does not apply to children from Canada or Mexico). •
85% of unaccompanied children are reconnected with family in the United States. Those not connected with family go to one of 20 Unaccompanied Refugee Minors programs around the nation. •
Those families seeking asylum or immigration relief will need immigration legal services from immigration attorneys or BIA (Board of Immigration Appeals) accredited representatives. For more information, visit: www.ccctx.org/unaccompaniedminors After the christening of his baby
brother in church, Jason sobbed all
the way home in the back seat of
the car. His father asked him three
times what was wrong. Finally, the
boy replied, “That preacher said he
wanted us brought up in a Christian
home, and I wanted to stay with you
guys.”
“Después del bautizo en la iglesia de su
pequeño hermano, Jason lloró todo el
camino en rumbo a casa; sentado en el
asiento trasero del coche. Su padre le
pregunto tres veces que era lo que le
pasaba. Por último, el niño respondió:
“ese predicador en la iglesia dijo que
quería que creciéramos en un hogar
Cristiano, y yo quiero quedarme con
ustedes.”

Niños Menores De Edad Viajando Solos: Hoja De Datos Actualizada el 14 de julio, 2014 •
Desde el año 2011, se ha visto en los Estados Unidos un aumento sin precedentes en el número de niños migrantes viajando solos llegar a la frontera entre U.S./México. Estos niños vienen de todas partes del mundo pero predominantemente de Guatemala, El Salvador y Honduras. •
En los años fiscales 2004-­‐2011, el promedio de menores detenidos por el gobierno de los Estados Unidos fue de 6,000-­‐8,000/año, el total ha subido a más de 13,000 en el año 2012 y a más de 24,000 en el año 2013. •
Inicialmente, la Oficina de Reasentamiento de Refugiados (ORR) estimo que el total de menores que entrarían a los Estados Unidos durante el año 2014, sería de 60,000. Las estimaciones recientes del gobierno han sido revisadas, proyectando 90,000 niños en el año 2014 y 130,000 en el año 2015. •
La oficina ORR proporciona nuevas poblaciones con la oportunidad de maximizar su potencial en los Estados Unidos. Los programas ofrecen a personas necesitadas los recursos críticos para ayudarles a integrarse como miembros de la sociedad estadounidense. •
Las razones por las cuales estos menores han llegado a los Estados Unidos incluyen, pero no se limitan a lo siguiente: o
o
o
Para escapar de la violencia, abuso o persecución en sus países de origen Para encontrar miembros de la familia que ya residen en los Estados Unidos Fueron traídos a los Estados Unidos por redes de trata de personas •
Los niños están detenidos en Aduanas y en Centros de Detención de Protección Fronteriza hasta que puedan ser procesados y aceptados en refugios de vivienda temporal. •
La oficina ORR supervisa 94 refugios permanentes en todo el país y tres refugios de emergencia que prevé las necesidades básicas de los niños, incluyendo refugio, alimentos y atención médica, mientras se trata de identificar a miembros responsables de la familia en los Estados Unidos, quienes puedan hacerse cargo de los niños. •
La ley actual permite a menores de edad permanecer en el país hasta que su solicitud de asilo o la solicitud de ayuda de migración es considerada por un juez de inmigración (no se aplica a niños del Canadá o México). •
El 85% de los menores se reconectan con familia en los Estados Unidos. Aquellos no relacionados con una familia residente van a uno de los 20 programas nacionales para Menores Refugiados. •
Esas familias que buscan asilo o ayuda de migración necesitarán los servicios legales de abogados de inmigración o representantes acreditados de BIA (Junta de Apelación sobre Inmigración). Para más información, visite: www.ccctx.org/unaccompaniedminors Reyes
