Live the Liturgy - Inspiration for the Week
Jesus often preached that his kingdom is not of this world. He also
instructed the disciples that the end of the world as we know it would
eventually come but provided no details about the time. For those
who are called to live by faith it is not important to know. Cultivating
an attitude of trust that God will take care of all things in God's time
is the goal of every believer.

The Case for Jesus: The Biblical and Historical Evidence for
Christ, by Brant Pitre is our discussion book for Tuesday,
Dec. 13, at 7 p.m. in the St. Michael
Room. The author "explains here in
remarkably easy to understand ways why
we can trust the Gospels. Behind his
effective communication, however, is wideranging research and careful
rethinking." (Craig S. Keener, Asbury
Theological Seminary). "This book will
prove to be a most effective weapon
against the debunking and skeptical attitudes toward the
Gospels that are so prevalent…”
(Bishop Robert Barron). For more information, contact Ali
Howard at [email protected] or 330-6618.

FROM THE PASTOR
I am grateful to the oversight of our Finance Council
members and parish staff who assist with bookkeeping and
help us generate financial reports for the bulletin. Included in
this weekend’s bulletin is an end of year financial summary
with charts of the Fiscal Year 2015-16, which ended on June
30, 2016. Appropriate reporting and transparency are
important to me and to our Finance Council since we take
seriously the duty to be good stewards of parish resources. I
invite you to look over the financial summary and to ask any
questions you may have. You may direct questions to me or
to any member of our parish Finance Council. At the same
time I ask you to continue to be dedicated and generous in
your regular contributions to the parish. We count on your
gifts for our general operating needs. We also plan to begin
making reports on a quarterly basis as soon as numbers are
available after each quarter closes. I hope you appreciate this
reporting.
Sincerely in Christ, Fr. Hamilton

Familias Para Cristo: : La familia es la célula de la
sociedad mientras que el matrimonio es la célula de la
familia. Nosotros creemos que si el matrimonio no marcha
de acuerdo a los designios de Dios, cada miembro de la
familia sufre, especialmente los hijos. Hoy en día, las
estadísticas demuestran un mayor porcentaje de divorcios
y de matrimonios infelices e insatisfechos. Los niños
que nacen y crecen dentro de este núcleo familiar
disfuncional corren un mayor riesgo de desarrollar
adicciones peligrosas y de rodearse de malas
influencias cuando entran en la adolescencia.
Familias para Cristo ofrece platicas familiares y
matrimoniales al igual que grupos de apoyo o de
compartimiento para cada miembro de la familia. En
estos grupos de apoyo, ellos podrán compartir con
otras personas que viven situaciones similares sus
experiencias y testimonios de vida. El grupo de
Familias para Cristo se reúne en el salón de la
Parroquia los días viernes a las 7 p.m.
