A Message from Father Roberto
“Always Our Children: A Pastoral Message To Parents Of Homosexual Children And Suggestions For
Pastoral Ministers”
The above pamphlet is available in our pamphlet racks at the church exits as well as in the rectory office.
The purpose of this pastoral message from the U.S. bishops is to reach out to parents trying to cope
with the discovery of homosexuality in their adolescent or adult child. It urges families to draw upon the
reservoirs of faith, hope, and love as they face uncharted futures. It asks them to recognize that the Church
offers enormous spiritual resources to strengthen and support them at this moment in their family's life and
in the days to come.
Dominican 800th Jubilee – St. Dominic’s Family
From November 7, 2015 – January 21, 2017, the Dominican Friars of the
Province of the Most Holy Name of Jesus, along with Dominicans worldwide, will
celebrate the 800th Jubilee (anniversary) of the approval of the Order of Preachers
by Pope Honorius III in 1216. In this and coming bulletin messages I will give you
some information about St. Dominic and the
Dominicans in honor of our jubilee.
The founder of our Dominican Order – officially
known as the Order of Preachers (that is why
we have the initials “O.P.” after our names)
St. Dominic
– was St. Dominic de Guzmán. The Church
celebrates his feast day each year on August 8th. St. Dominic was
born around 1170 in a village named Caleruega in the region of
Castile in northern Spain. Like all of us, St. Dominic was very much
influenced by the family into which he was born, so I think it is
important to know a little about them as well, even though we do not

monastery of nuns and convent of friars is the large complex in the
red circle at the center of the photo.
Dominic’s father, Felix, was very likely from the noble family of
Guzmán (about 35 miles from Caleruega) and may even have been a
wealthy magistrate of Caleruega. He was respected for his fairness and judicious rule and was described as
“a man looked up to by the villagers.” He is considered a Venerable by the Church.
Dominic’s mother, Jane, was most likely from a noble family as well, the family of Aza, (about 20 miles
from Caleruega). She was considered “virtuous, chaste, prudent, full of compassion for those who were
unfortunate and in distress, and was outstanding among all the women in the neighborhood for the
excellence of her reputation.” It seems that Jane was married twice, but it is impossible to determine
whether Felix was her first or second husband. Because of the holiness of her life, she was beatified in 1828
by Pope Leo XII.
There were at least two other children of whom
we know born to Jane and Felix. One was named
Antonio. He was said to have been a priest at a
hospice where he devoted himself unreservedly
to works of mercy in the service of the poor.
Apparently, miracles made him famous both before
and after his death.
Blessed Jordan of Saxony, the Dominican who led
the Order after St. Dominic’s death in 1221, claims
that Dominic’s other sibling was a half-brother (this
Mural of St. Dominic’s family in the crypt beneath the church in Caleruega
is why it is believed that Jane was married twice)
named Mannes (or Manez). He followed St. Dominic at least from the founding of the Order and perhaps
much earlier. He was still alive when St. Dominic was canonized. He too lived a holy life and was beatified in
1833 by Gregory XVI.
It is also believed that Dominic had nephews and that perhaps two or three became members of the Order.
This implies that Dominic had other siblings in addition to Antonio and Mannes, but nothing is known of
them.

Un Mensaje de Padre Roberto
Siempre Nuestros Niños: Un Mensaje Pastoral Para Padres De Niños Homosexuales Y Sugerencias Para
Agentes Pastorales
Este mensaje pastoral de los obispos de EE.UU. es para llegar a los padres que tratan de hacer frente con el
descubrimiento de la homosexualidad en su hijo adolescente o adulto. Se insta
a las familias a recurrir a los depósitos de la fe, la esperanza y el amor ya que
se enfrentan los futuros desconocidos. Se les pide que reconocer que la Iglesia
ofrece enormes recursos espirituales para fortalecer y apoyar a ellos en este
momento en la vida de su familia y en los días venideros. El mensaje se encuentra
en inglés en un panfleto en las salidas de la iglesia y en la oficina parroquial. En
español se encuentra en el sitio web de los obispos estadunidenses:

800° Año Jubileo de los Dominicos – La Familia de Santo Domingo
Del 7 nov 2015 a 21 enero 2017, los frailes dominicos de la Provincia del
Santísimo Nombre de Jesús, junto
con los dominicos en todo el mundo,
St. Dominigo
van a celebrar el 800 Jubileo (aniversario) de la
aprobación de la Orden de Predicadores por el Papa Honorio III
en 1216. En éste y en mis próximos mensajes en el boletín les daré
alguna información acerca de Santo Domingo y los dominicos en
honor a nuestro jubileo.
El fundador de la Orden Dominicana – oficialmente conocida
como la Orden de Predicadores (por eso tenemos los iniciales
“O.P.” después de nuestros nombres) – era Santo Domingo de
Guzmán. La Iglesia celebra su fiesta cada año en el 8 de agosto.
Sto. Domingo nació alrededor del año 1171 en un pueblo llamado
Caleruega en la región de Castilla la Vieja en el norte de España.
Vista aérea de la actual Caleruega – la iglesia Dominicana, monasterio
de monjas y convento de frailes forman las grandes instalaciones en el Como todos nosotros, Sto. Domingo fue muy influenciado por la
círculo rojo en el centro de la foto.
familia en la cual nació; así es que es importante también saber
algo de ellos aunque no hay mucha información al respecto.
El padre de Sto. Domingo, Félix, muy probablemente era de la familia noble de Guzmán (colocado alrededor
de 55 kilómetros de Caleruega), y aun puede haber sido un oficial rico de Caleruega. Era señor de vasallos y
de amplios dominios, es el administrador gobernador y cuidador de estas grandes propiedades. De natural
bondadoso y apacible, se mantuvo lejos de las armas, cuidando de su casa, de sus hijos, de su esposa, de sus
vasallos, a los que quería con amor y grande abnegación y de quienes fue querido y respetado. Murió a los
60 años de edad, con fama de santidad en su entorno y hoy es considerado como Venerable.
También es muy probable que la madre de Sto. Domingo, Juana, era de una familia noble, la de Aza
(alrededor de 32 kilómetros de Caleruega). Fue considerada “virtuosa, casta, prudente, llena de compasión
para los más desafortunados y desamparados, y era
singular entre todas las mujeres en el pueblo por la
excelencia de su reputación.” Aparentemente fue
casada dos veces, pero es imposible determinar si
Félix era su primer o segundo esposo. Por la santidad
de su vida, fue beatificada en 1828 por el Papa Leo
XII.
Félix y Juana tuvieron al menos dos otros hijos.
Uno, llamado Antonio, fue sacerdote que sirvió en
un sitio atendiendo a los pobres con mucho afán.
Aparentemente, era muy santo, y muchos milagros
Mural de la familia de Santo Domingo en la cripta debajo de la iglesia en Caleruega
fueron atribuidos a él antes y después de su muerte.
Beato Jordán de Sajonia, el dominico quien dirigió la Orden después de la muerte de Sto. Domingo en 1221,
dijo que el otro hermano de éste era medio hermano (por eso se dice que Juana fue casada dos veces),
nombrado Manés. Él siguió a Sto. Domingo al menos desde la fundación de la Orden, y quizá mucho antes.
Todavía estaba vivo cuando Sto. Domingo fue canonizado. Él también llevó una vida santa y fue beatificado
en 1833 por el Papa Gregorio XVI.
También se dice que Sto. Domingo tuvo unos sobrinos y que unos dos o tres de ellos se hicieron dominicos.
Esto implica que había otros hermanos de Sto. Domingo aparte de Antonio y Manés, pero de ellos no se
sabe nada.

Fill the handed–out baby bottles up with your
change, bills or check.
Bring your filled bottles back to the church or
rectory on or before July 31, 2016.
This will also be a great reminder &
opportunity for those who have not returned
their bottles from last year’s campaign. Your
help will be greatly appreciated.
