FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK
Dear Parishioners,
June is known as a month of graduations. The graduation of 8th graders from our own parish elementary
school will be this week. We congratulate them and all graduates for successfully completing the level of
education that they have achieved. Graduations are steps in the journey of life. We are all on a journey and
our journey gradually progresses.
The word graduate comes from the word “grade” which means step or degree. If we think of life in general,
we all take steps toward change. It is important that we take the right steps and go in the right direction. We
need God to help us. God wants us to use our abilities and talents to make the right choices and move not
only ourselves but our society in a direction that is just, good and loving for all.
In the month of June, we can reflect also on our ability to move our society with our votes. What steps will
our city, state and federal governments take this year? The tablet had two articles last Sunday about the vote
in Albany that will take place this month to remove the statute of limitations so that law suits may be brought
against only the church and other private institutions for sex abuse. We want to help those who were abused
but does that mean we allow the church to be abused by removing time limits on evidence presented and
exempting institutions, such as public schools, from the same targeting?
This month, the Diocese will be promoting voter registration. Also on the 21st the “Fortnight to Freedom”
prayers will be said to ask God to help our government to protect religious freedom. Let us make sure that we
use our freedom to talk to legislators and our vote to motivate our representatives so that our laws and society
may take steps or graduate toward a better way of life for all.
Rev. Darrell Da Costa
Queridos Feligreses:
Junio es conocido como el mes de graduaciones. La graduación de los estudiantes de 8º grado de nuestra propia escuela
parroquial será esta semana. Felicitamos a ellos y todos los graduados por completar con éxito el nivel de educación logrado. Graduaciones son pasos en el camino de la vida. Todos estamos en un viaje y el viaje progresa gradualmente.
La palabra graduado viene de la palabra "grado" que significa paso o grado. Si pensamos en la vida en general, todos
tomamos pasos hacia el cambio. Es importante que tomemos las medidas adecuadas e ir en la dirección correcta. Necesitamos
que Dios nos ayude. Dios quiere que usemos nuestras habilidades y talentos para tomar las decisiones correctas y movernos no
sólo nosotros, sino mover nuestra sociedad en una dirección que es justa, buena y amorosa para todos.
En el mes de Junio, se puede reflejar también en nuestra capacidad de mover nuestra sociedad con nuestros votos. ¿Qué
pasos tomarán nuestros gobiernos municipales, estatales y federales este año? El periódico diocesano La tableta tuvo dos
artículos el domingo pasado sobre el voto en Albany, que se realizará este mes para retirar el estatuto de limitaciones de
manera que demandas judiciales puedan ser llevadas únicamente contra la iglesia y otras instituciones privadas debido al
abuso sexual. Queremos ayudar a aquellos que fueron abusados, pero ¿significa esto que permitiremos que la iglesia sea objeto
de abuso mediante la eliminación de los límites de tiempo en la evidencia presentada y la exención de las instituciones, tales
como escuelas públicas, de la misma segmentación?
Este mes la Diócesis está promoviendo el registro de votantes. También el día 21 la "Quincena de la Libertad" tendrán
oraciones para pedir a Dios para ayudar a nuestro gobierno para proteger la libertad religiosa. Asegurémonos de que usamos
nuestra libertad para hablar con los legisladores y nuestro voto para motivar a nuestros representantes para que nuestras leyes
y la sociedad pueden tomar medidas o graduarse hacia una mejor calidad de vida para todos.
Padre Darrell Da Costa
