GOOD BYE AND HELLO
Mrs. Audrey Rodarte has been our parish secretary for the last seven
years. She did her job with exceptional skill. She made the office a welcoming
place for all those who came to the parish office.
Quick to smile, ready to help, comforting when needed. But now Aubrey and her husband Jay will be moving up to Washington State for a well
deserved “semi retirement”. I wish them well.
May God continue to bless them. Thank you Audrey and Jay for your
ever faithful serves to this church. May God bless you on your journey.
So as Audrey leaves, I welcome Carmelita Vasquez as our new secretary. Carmelita has given many years here in the parish as a Religious Education teacher. She will now bring her skills to take our parish office.
We are fortunate to have her. She has her husband Felipe, daughters
Vanessa, Gracie and Alejandra and son Felipe Jr.
I ask that God will bless her in her works as she will be a blessing for
the Parish.
Peace,

A Time for Mercy
Rachel’s Vineyard
Post Abortion Healing Weekend Retreat
Pope Francis has designated this the year of
Mercy and to, “Be merciful as your Father is merciful”, as Jesus told his disciples in Luke 6:36. It is a
time to be merciful towards ourselves, reorienting
our heart to God so that we can be our best selves as
we move forward in life.
If you have emotional or spiritual wounds as
a result of a past abortion, please consider attending
our upcoming Rachel’s Vineyard weekend retreat
February 5 - 7, 2016. These retreats are therapy of
the soul, with Christ as our loving physician. It is an
opportunity for women and men to experience the
graces of this merciful, holy year and renew and rebuild hearts broken by abortion and life’s circumstances. Participation is strictly confidential. For
more information, please contact Mary Huber at
(909) 475-5353 or [email protected] or visit

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
Merry Christmas! Share that cheerful greeting with some folks today. They may wonder if you have had
any Elvis sightings lately, attended Star Trek conventions, or were Cleopatra in a previous lifetime. Despite the
skeptics, today is solidly within the Christmas season. In fact, in some strands of the Christian tradition it
represents the clearest manifestation of the mystery of the Incarnation. On Christmas Day, for example, the
Gospel reading is the Prologue of John’s Gospel, which reveals the glory of Christ shining through our humanity precisely in his baptism.
At any rate, this is an ancient feast, celebrated first in Egypt sixteen centuries ago. More than most other
ancient people, the Egyptians understood the life‑giving properties of water. On this day, they drew water
from the Nile, so central in the history of their people and reserved it in honor. Many other places copied the
custom, so that St. John Chrysostom wrote of people in Antioch gathering at midnight to collect flowing water
into vessels they brought from home since “today there is a blessing of the water.” At home for dinner tonight,
decorate the table with beautiful bowls of water and white candles, toast one another with goblets of sparkling
water and light a Christmas candle in the window one last time.
TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
La costumbre del bautismo infantil debe ser mucho más que un acto social o una tradición cultural, donde
el ropón y los regalos son más importantes que la doctrina cristiana, y los padrinos se escogen no por su buen
ejemplo sino por su cuenta bancaria.
Según los Hechos de los Apóstoles, familias enteras se bautizaban cuando el padre de familia decidía
hacerse cristiano. Esta práctica de bautizar, no solo al nuevo creyente sino también a su mujer y a sus hijos,
poco a poco, quedó solo en bautizar los niños del original creyente. El mundo en aquel tiempo estaba basado
sobre la familia así como muchas culturas latinas de hoy.
El bautizo infantil nació en la Iglesia primitiva y al pasar de los siglos llegó a transformarse en un rito religioso muy importante en la catequesis del nuevo cristiano. El niño viste de ropita blanca que recuerda la presencia de Cristo en su alma, se le regala una vela que lo invita a brillar con la luz de Cristo y se le da una madrina o un padrino que le enseñará a vivir en Cristo.
