14th Sunday in Ordinary Time: July 3, 2016
“Jesus sends his disciples out in pairs to bring his peace and proclaim the kingdom of God” -Luke 10:1
Reflection
NEVER ALONE
Saint Paul reminds us today that he
“bears the marks of Jesus” on his body.
We recall another letter in which Paul
describes his imprisonments and beatings: “Five times at the hands of the Jews
I received forty lashes minus one. Three
times I was beaten with rods, once I was
stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, I
passed a night and a day on the deep”
(2 Corinthians 11:24–25). Far from being
bitter about all this abuse, Paul “boasts”
in the cross that Jesus has allowed him
to share.
Those of us who have a scar usually
have a memorable story about what
caused the injury. Paul’s scars remind
him of his life in Christ. With the marks
of Jesus on his body and the love of
Christ in his heart, Paul is never alone.
Clarification of S.C.A.P.
There seems to be some confusion regarding the weekends on which a SCAP service
will be conducted in the place of the usual
Mass.
The weekend schedule of Masses is not
changing with the SCAP service; what is
being changed is that on the weekends
when one of the parish priests is away on
his annual vacation, a Sunday Celebration
in the Absence of a Priest will be held at the
designated times since there will not be a
priest available to celebrate Mass. Mass will
be celebrated as usual at the other times on
the weekend.
The designated Sundays on which the
SCAP service will be conducted are indicated below. The times / church in which they
will take place is stated also.
Please read through the Catechesis carefully so that you will understand fully the
necessity for the SCAP service.
A full version of the catechesis is
available at www.gscparish.org.
“From the day of Pentecost, after the
coming of the Holy Spirit, the Church of
Christ has always faithfully come together
to celebrate the paschal mystery on the
day called “the Lord’s Day,” in memory of
the Lord’s resurrection. In the Sunday
assembly the Church reads in all the Scriptures those things that concern Christ1 and
celebrates the Eucharist as the memorial of
the death and resurrection of the Lord until
he comes.
But, a complete celebration of the Lord’s
Day is not always possible. There have
been and still are many of the faithful for
whom “because of the lack of a priest or
some other serious reason, participation in
the Eucharistic celebration is not possible.”2
PARISH OFFICES CLOSED FOR
INDEPENDENCE DAY
Just a reminder that the parish offices will
be closed on Monday, July 4, and that
Masses will be celebrated as per the
holiday schedule.
We thank God for the freedoms that we
enjoy in this great country and pray that
God will continue to watch over us and
protect us. We also pray that our Blessed
Mother who is the Patroness of the United
States under the title of her Immaculate
Conception, will continually advocate for
our needs.
Please pray for all those in the military,
especially those actively serving.
For many years, the diocese of Fresno
has experienced a declining priesthood
with the retirement / death ratio of priests
to ordination often much greater. Many
parishes share a priest who has duties at
the diocesan level as well – vocations office, Tribunal, mission office, etc. Some
parishes that need two active priests often
have only one who may need to celebrate
5 or 6 Masses on a Sunday. The Code of
Canon Law specifically states in Can. 905
§1 “A priest is not permitted to celebrate
the Eucharist more than once a day except
in cases where the law permits him to celebrate or concelebrate more than once on
the same day.” §2. If there is a shortage of
priests, the local ordinary can allow priests
to celebrate twice a day for a just cause or
if pastoral necessity requires it, even three
times on Sundays and holy days of obligation. One of the reasons for specifically
limiting the number of Masses that a priest
may celebrate each day is about quality,
not quantity. The question should be:
“How many Masses can a priest celebrate
daily well?” To celebrate even two Masses
a day makes serious demands on the celebrant – physically, emotionally and spiritually. The issue is just too sacred to become
routine.
The shortage of priests here also makes
it difficult or impossible for a priest to take
a day off let alone any kind of vacation
because he cannot get help. Many retired
priests in our diocese who are still healthy
and active, do assist in parishes – some of
them year round. However, they are small
in number and often committed to one or
two parishes. The burden of continued
work takes its toll on retired priests as well
who have earned and should be enjoying a
time of relaxation and leisure. At the present time, our diocese is also experiencing
a lack of available priests during the summer to supply for vacation or in an emergency.
In light of this predicament in our diocese and now being experienced first-hand
at Good Shepherd Catholic Parish, Bishop
Armando X. Ochoa has given permission
for this parish to conduct a SCAP Service –
Sunday Celebration in the Absence of a
Priest – on weekends when one of our
priests is away for vacation this summer.
Due to the schedule of Masses on Sunday
at Good Shepherd Catholic Parish, we must
have three active priests to cover it, so
conducting the SCAP service is more desirable than cancelling certain Masses on a
Sunday.
-Read the Rest at www.gscparish.orgGood Shepherd Catholic Parish is truly
blessed through the vocation of the permanent diaconate and our five active deacons are well-prepared to be entrusted
with the Celebration of Sunday Service in
the Absence of a Priest as needed.
In order to avoid confusion and to accommodate the schedule in the best way,
the SCAP services will always be conducted
at the following times / places:
10:00 a.m. - St. Charles
1:00 p.m. – St. Mary’s
7:00 p.m. – St. Mary’s
These services will be conducted on the
following Sundays
July 3rd
July 10th
July 17th
August 14th
August 28th
September 4th
We should also be motivated by this
dilemma to understand better the need for
a larger church building in Visalia. When
we are able to accommodate more people
at one gathering, it will eliminate the need
for 15 Masses on the weekend (which
simply won’t be sustainable in the future)
and allay the need for communion services
even when one priest may be away on a
weekend. More importantly, this also
brings us together in a unified worship –
one that exemplifies the true spirit of community. The plan for the new church is
available on the parish website; we encourage parishioners to go to it so that they
may see the progress that has been made
as we approach the final version that will
hopefully be a reality in the near future.

RODOLFO MACIAS

Sadly, Msgr. Raul Sanchez is the fifth priest in our Fresno
diocese who has died in the past several months - four
actively-serving pastors (Fr. Raul, St. Philip the Apostle,
Bakersfield, Fr. Enrique Fierros, St. Mary’s in Delano, Fr.
Tom Timmings, St. Anthony in Atwater, Fr. Robert Vanoncini at Sacred Heart in Dos Palos) and one retired priest
(Msgr. E. James Peterson). Please pray for all priests that
God may keep them healthy as they serve his Church.
We put our trust in God but we, the people who are the
Church, must continue to pray for vocations and to encourage young men to seek a vocation to the priesthood.
It is within our families, especially, that the seed is planted
and may grow to fruition. Now, more than ever, we are
experiencing a dire need for priests to serve in our diocese.
Our diocesan Office of Vocations is sponsoring a “Come
and See” Retreat at St. Anthony Retreat Center in Three
Rivers - July 29-31. Young men between the ages of 17-45
who are seriously discerning a vocation to the priesthood
are welcome to come to the retreat. Registration / information forms are in the church vestibules and at the parish
office.
“And when he saw the crowds he felt sorry for them because they were harassed and dejected, like sheep without a
shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, ‘The harvest is rich
but the laborers are few, so ask the Lord of the harvest to
send laborers to his harvest.” -Matthew 9:36-38

Decimocuarto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario: 3 de julio de 2016
“Jesús envía sus discípulos de dos en dos a llevar su paz a la gente” -Lucas 10:1
CATEQUESIS SCAP
Parece que hay cierta confusión con respecto a los fines de semana en
los cuales se llevará a cabo un servicio de SCAP en lugar de la misa habitual.
El horario de las misas de fin de semana no va a cambiar con el servicio
de SCAP; lo que va a cambiar es que los fines de semana, cuando uno de
los sacerdotes tome sus vacaciones anuales, se llevará a cabo una celebración dominical en ausencia de un sacerdote en los horarios designados
ya que no habrá un sacerdote disponible para celebrar la misa. La misa
será celebrada como de costumbre el resto del horario de ese fin de semana.
Los domingos designados en los que se llevará a cabo el servicio SCAP
están indicados a continuación. El horario / iglesia en el que se llevarán a
cabo esta indicado también.
Por favor, lea la catequesis con cuidado para que entienda completamente la necesidad del servicio SCAP.
Desde el día de Pentecostés, después de la venida del Espíritu Santo, la
Iglesia de Cristo siempre se ha reunido fielmente para celebrar el misterio
pascual el día llamado “Día del Señor”, en memoria de la resurrección del
Señor. En la asamblea dominical, la Iglesia lee en todas las Escrituras lo
que se refiere a Cristo1 y celebra la Eucaristía en memorial de la muerte y
resurrección del Señor hasta que venga.
Sin embargo, una celebración completa del día del Señor no siempre
es posible. Ha habido y siguen siendo muchos los fieles a quienes “no se
les hace posible la participación en la celebración Eucarística debido a la
falta de un sacerdote u otro motivo grave”.2
Durante muchos años, la diócesis de Fresno ha experimentado una
disminución del sacerdocio debido a la relación de las jubilaciones /
muertes de los sacerdotes y las ordenaciones que a menudo es mucho
mayor. También muchas parroquias comparten a un sacerdote que tiene
funciones a nivel diocesano - oficina de vocaciones, Tribunal, oficina de
misiones, etc. Algunas parroquias que necesitan a dos sacerdotes activos
muy a menudo solo tienen a uno que puede necesitar celebrar 5 o 6
misas el domingo. El Código de Ley Canónica establece específicamente
en Can. 905 § 1. “Un sacerdote no está permitido celebrar la Eucaristía
más de una vez al día, excepto en los casos en que la ley se lo permita
celebrar o concelebrar más de una vez en el mismo día”. §2. Si hay una
escasez de sacerdotes, el Ordinario local puede permitir que los sacerdotes celebren dos veces al día por una causa justa o si la necesidad
pastoral lo requiere, incluso tres veces los domingos y fiestas de precepto. Una de las razones para limitar, específicamente, el número de misas
que un sacerdote puede celebrar cada día se trata de la calidad, no la
cantidad. La pregunta debería ser: "¿Cuántas misas puede celebrar un
sacerdote bien todos los días?” Incluso para celebrar dos misas en un día
se requiere mucho del celebrante - físicamente, emocionalmente y espiritualmente. Esta cuestión es demasiado sagrada para convertirse en rutina.
La escasez de sacerdotes aquí, también hace que sea difícil o imposible
que un sacerdote tome un día de descanso y ni hablar de cualquier tipo
de vacaciones, porque no puede conseguir ayuda. Muchos sacerdotes
retirados en nuestra diócesis que todavía están sanos y activos ayudan en
parroquias - algunos de ellos durante todo el año. Sin embargo, son
pequeños en número y a menudo están comprometidos con una o dos
parroquias. La carga de trabajo continuo hace su mella en los sacerdotes
retirados, ya que se han ganado y deberían estar disfrutando de un momento de relajación y tiempo libre. En la actualidad, nuestra diócesis
también está experimentando una falta de sacerdotes disponibles durante el verano para abastecer para vacaciones o en caso de emergencia.
En luz de esta situación en nuestra diócesis y ahora que lo estamos
experimentando en primer plano en la Parroquia Católica del Buen Pastor, el Obispo Armando X. Ochoa ha dado permiso para que esta parroquia lleve a cabo un servicio de SCAP (sus iniciales en inglés) – Celebración Dominical en la Ausencia de un Sacerdote – durante los fines de
semana cuando uno de nuestros sacerdotes este de vacaciones este
verano. Debido al horario de las misas el domingo en la Parroquia Católica del Buen Pastor, debemos tener tres sacerdotes activos para cubrirlas,
por lo que al llevar a cabo el servicio SCAP es más deseable que cancelar
ciertas misas el domingo.
Es de gran importancia que todos los católicos entiendan que nada
detendrá que se lleve a cabo la Santa Misa. La celebración litúrgica completa del domingo se caracteriza por la asamblea de los fieles al manifestar la Iglesia, no sólo por su propia iniciativa, sino, como convocados
por Dios, es decir, como el pueblo de Dios en su estructura orgánica,
presidida por un sacerdote, que actúa en la persona de Cristo. A través
de la celebración de la Liturgia de la Palabra, los fieles reunidos son instruidos en el misterio pascual por medio de las Escrituras que se
proclaman y después se explican en la homilía por un sacerdote o
diácono. Y a través de la celebración de la Liturgia de la Eucaristía, en la
que el misterio pascual se realiza sacramentalmente, la asamblea participa en el sacrificio de Cristo.3
La celebración dominical en Ausencia de un Sacerdote no se permite
como una solución óptima a las nuevas dificultades ni como una rendición a una simple conveniencia y no debe confundirse con la celebración Eucarística de la Santa Misa. De hecho, se exhorta a todos los
fieles a que asistían a misa en un horario y lugar que no sea cuando se
celebre el servicio de SCAP, si es posible. Sin embargo, para aquellos que
participen en la celebración dominical en ausencia de un sacerdote, se
cumple la obligación de asistir a misa del domingo.
La Parroquia Católica del Buen Pastor está verdaderamente bendecida
por medio de la vocación del diaconado permanente y nuestros cinco
diáconos activos están bien preparados para encargarse de la celebración
del Domingo de Servicio en la Ausencia de un Sacerdote, según sea
necesario.
Con el fin de evitar confusiones y para dar espacio a esta programación de la mejor manera, los servicios de SCAP siempre se
llevarán a cabo en los siguientes tiempos / lugares:
10 a.m. – San Carlos
1:00 p.m. – Santa María
7:00 p.m. – Santa María
Estos servicios se llevarán a cabo los siguientes domingos

Nos damos cuenta de que esto es "nuevo territorio" para todos nosotros y ponemos nuestra confianza en Dios para que bendiga nuestra
diócesis con vocaciones al sacerdocio. Es alentador observar que los
cuatro hombres que fueron ordenados al sacerdocio el 28 de mayo son
todos sacerdotes nativos - dos de San Judas Tadeo en Livingston, uno de
San Antonio de Padua en Fresno y uno del Sagrado Corazón en Merced.
Sin embargo, es un poco desalentador el recordar que han sido 29
años desde que se ha producido una vocación de Visalia. Como la parroquia más grande en la diócesis de Fresno, deberíamos ser los que establecemos el estándar para nutrir las vocaciones nativas. Es verdaderamente triste que una parroquia tan grande y con tanta prosperidad como
El Buen Pastor deba ser puesta en una situación en la que la Santa Misa
no pueda ser celebrada por el pueblo de Dios. Nosotros, el pueblo, somos la Iglesia, juntemos nuestras cabezas y manos para poner un remedio a esta situación trabajando con nuestro Club Serra y a través de la
Adoración de la Santa Eucaristía y animando a los hombres en especial a
los jóvenes, a considerar la vocación al sacerdocio. Es a través de las oraciones y el animó de las personas, especialmente en sus familias, que se
realizan las bendiciones de los sacerdotes.
También debemos ser motivados por este dilema para comprender
mejor la necesidad de un templo más grande en Visalia. Cuando seamos
capaces de acomodar a más personas en una reunión, se eliminara la
necesidad de 15 misas de fin de semana (que simplemente no será sos-

Monsignor Raul Sanchez
Lamentablemente, Mons. Raúl Sánchez es el
quinto sacerdote en la Diócesis de Fresno que ha
muerto en los últimos meses - cuatro pastores
sirviendo activamente (P. Raúl, en San Felipe
Apóstol, Bakersfield, P. Enrique Fierros, en Santa
María, Delano, P. Tom Timmings, en San Antonio,
Atwater, P. Robert Vanoncini, en el Sagrado
Corazón, Dos Palos) y un sacerdote retirado
(Mons. James E. Peterson). Por favor, oren por
todos los sacerdotes. Que Dios los mantenga
sanos, conforme sirven a su Iglesia.
Ponemos nuestra confianza en Dios pero
nosotros, la gente que es la iglesia, tenemos que
seguir orando por las vocaciones y para animar a
los jóvenes a buscar una vocación al sacerdocio.
La semilla se siembra y puede crecer hasta dar
fruto sobre todo, dentro de nuestras familias.
Ahora, más que nunca, estamos experimentando
una gran necesidad de sacerdotes que sirven en
nuestra diócesis.
Nuestra Oficina Diocesana de Vocaciones está
patrocinando un retiro "Ven y Ve" en el Centro
de Retiros de San Antonio en Tres Ríos - Julio 29
-31. Hombres jóvenes entre las edades de 17-45
que están discerniendo seriamente una vocación
al sacerdocio son bienvenidos a asistir a este
retiro. Los formularios de inscripción /
información están en los vestíbulos de la iglesia y
en la oficina parroquial
“Al contemplar aquel gran gentío, Jesús sintió
compasión, porque estaban decaídos y
desanimados, como ovejas sin pastor. Y dijo a sus
discípulos: ‘La cosecha es abundante, pero los
trabajadores son pocos. Rueguen, pues, al dueño
de la cosecha que envíe trabajadores a recoger su
cosecha.”
