PASTOR’S COLUMN
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
“Return to the Lord, Your God,
with all your heart and soul …”
Deuteronomy 30:10-14
Our journey through life only finds meaning when we look for the Lord, when we
return to Him in all good or bad experiences. The Lord fills all our emptiness with His
Love. He teaches us that to love Him is intimately united to loving all others, even the
most difficult person in our lives. There is only authentic Christianity in persons that
give their lives for others.
As Father Ambrose Udoji and I begin our journey with all of you, we are grateful to
God for His love, for sending us to Our Lady of Perpetual Help. We look forward to
growing together in our prayer life, in a greater experience of God’s love for all of us,
and a greater and greater practice of service for each other.
“You shall love the Lord, your God,
with all your heart,
with all your being,
with all your strength,
and with all your mind,
and your neighbor as yourself …” Luke 10:25-37
May our Blessed Mother, all the Saints and all the Angels bless us, protect us and
always lead us to the Shadow of the Father, the Heart of Jesus and to the Fire of the
Holy Spirit.
Monsignor Lorenzo Miranda

YOU ARE INVITED
FAITH BUILDING
PRAYER AND LIFE WORKSHOPS
OLPH - Parish Center
begins Mon, August 1 (15 week session)
7:00pm – 9:00pm
RECONNECT WITH FAITH THIS SUMMER
We invite you to end this Extraordinary
Year of Mercy by giving yourself the opportunity to learn how to pray meaningfully
and deeply, building an intimate and profound relationship with our Lord.
“PLW (Prayer and Life Workshops) is a
liberating and healing Workshop made
possible through the knowledge of God
and of oneself: through the life experience
of Surrender, the participant nears a profound peace; and through messages and
exercises, the participant slowly is able to
liberate himself from sadness and anxiety;
to heal all wounds; to surpass fears and
complexes, while recuperating the meaning of life and the joy of living.”

The lazy days of summer can make
it tempting to be lazy about prayer
and worship but the slower pace of
summer makes it a great time to
reconnect with the one who loves
you most.
Make Mass. There’s no vacation from Mass, even
though we are on vacation. In fact, admiring
churches in new places and participating in different parish customs can freshen our own outlook.
Summer reading. Give “beach reading” a new
meaning. Read a spiritual book of which you may
have heard but not yet read. Whether a classic or
a more contemporary religious book, reading it
during the summer can give you more time to reflect on what you read.
Serve. Parish ministries usually suffer from low
staffing during the summer. Call your parish office
to see if you can fill in if help is needed cleaning
the church, visiting the sick, greeting parishioners,
or elsewhere faithful hands are scarce.

HEALING AFTER LOSS
47 TIPS AND TECHNIQUES FOR
HEALING AFTER LOSS
This is a unique experience for the Separated, Divorced and Widowed to come together for a Tour, Mass and Workshop. The
purpose of the workshop is to learn how to
move through separation, divorce or death
of a partner to acceptance and peace. We
will explore self, social and spiritual aspects of the journey that no one willingly
embarks upon, but that often leads us to
know and love ourselves and our God in
deeper ways than we've imagined.

KIDS CORNER
SAFEGUARD THE CHILDREN
Jesus told a story about a man who was beaten
and robbed. Two holy men including a priest
passed the man on the side of the road.
Then a Good Samaritan saw the man and cared
for him and gave him money.

The pace of online gaming is only growing.
There is a small but real chance that victimization could occur when kids play and interact
with others on phones, tablets, laptops, desktops and gaming consoles. A helpful way to
teach children about handling problems is to
encourage them to report issues when they
arise. Internet service providers and gaming
networks have systems set up to field complaints of abuse and then investigate them (in
conjunction with law enforcement, when necessary).

people from vulnerabilities while playing online

MINISTERIO HISPANO
Queridos Hermanos y Hermanas en Cristo,
“Regresa al Señor tu Dios
con todo tu Corazón y todo tu Alma…”
Deuteronomio 30,10 - 14
Nuestro caminar por la vida solo encuentra sentido cuando buscamos al Señor,
cuando regresamos con El en todas nuestras buenas y malas experiencias. El Señor
llena todo el vacio en nuestro corazón con Su Amor. El nos enseña que amarlo a Él
esta íntimamente unido al amor por todo los demás, aun las personas más
dificultosas en nuestras vidas.
Al iniciar el caminar con todos ustedes, el Padre Ambrose Udoji y yo estamos
agradecidos con Dios por Su Amor, por enviarnos a Nuestra Señora del Perpetuo
Socorro. Nuestro sincero deseo es crecer con ustedes en nuestra vida de oración, en
una experiencia más grande del amor de Dios por todos nosotros y una creciente
practica del servicio los unos con los otros.
“Amaras al Señor tu Dios con todo tu corazón,
y con toda tu alma,
y con toda tus fuerzas,
y con toda tu mente;
y a tu prójimo como a ti mismo…”
Lucas 10, 25 - 37
Que Nuestra Santísima Madre, todos los Santos y todos los Ángeles nos bendigan,
nos protejan y nos guíen siempre a la Sombra del Padre, al Corazón de Jesús y al
Fuego del Espíritu Santo.

PROTEGIENDO LOS NIÑOS
PROTEJA A LOS NIÑOS DEL ACOSO O
“BULLYING” MIENTRAS JUEGAN EN INTERNET
El paso de los juegos en línea sigue
aumentando.
Existe una pequeña, pero real
oportunidad de que pueda ocurrir la
victimización cuando los niños juegan e
interactúan con otros en teléfonos, tabletas,
laptops, computadoras de mesa y consolas de
juego. Una manera útil de enseñar a los niños
sobre cómo manejar problemas es animarlos a
reportar problemas cuando estos surjan. Los
proveedores de servicio de Internet y las redes de
juegos por Internet tienen sistemas establecidos
para recibir quejas de abuso y luego las investigan
(en conjunto con la policía, cuando es necesario).
Para más consejos sobre cómo ayudar a
proteger a los niños y jóvenes de las
vulnerabilidades mientras juegan en línea, por
favor
envíe
un
correo
electrónico
a
[email protected] o llame al (213)

VIRTUS®, “Preventing Cyberbullying in Online
Gaming, Part 2” (Previniendo el acoso cibernético
en los juegos en línea, Parte 2).
Este domingo 10 de julio nuestra parroquia
participará en la Colecta Combinada para la
Necesidad Nacional. Esta colecta permite a la
iglesia continuar fortaleciendo la educación, los
valores y la fe católica. Ayuda a apoyar
algunas de las diócesis más pobres en el país
que dependen de la colecta anual.
También permite asegurar el más alto
estándar de calidad de la educación católica.
Fortalece a la iglesia en el hogar y ayuda a
proporcionar recursos pastorales básicos y
servicios a las comunidades étnicas en
necesidad que se encuentran en zonas
dispersas y aisladas.

Mensaje del Diácono Carlos
Mis Hermanos:
Jesús en esta Parábola del Buen Samaritano en
el Evangelio de este domingo, nos enseña que es
muy fácil hablar de la caridad, y hoy en la
evangelización que hacemos y recibimos con
frecuencia se habla de esa virtud más que antes,
pero muchas veces corremos el peligro de
quedarnos en eso: en palabras, en muy bellas
palabras.
Felicitaciones a todos por la excelente
bienvenida que le dieron a nuestros nuevos guías
espirituales los padres Msgr. Lorenzo y Rev.
Ambrose. Creo que finalmente la comunidad
hispana tendrá más atención ya que Msgr. Lorenzo
se identifica muy bien con nuestra cultura y
raíces, ha prometido que se hará presente en las
reuniones de los grupos de la parroquia.
Les recordamos que por favor no estacionen sus
carros en doble fila en ningunos de los
estacionamientos de la parroquia. Se han dado
órdenes de que a los carros mal estacionados se
les multe y seán levantados por la grua.
Estamos empezando la temporada de calor, se
les pide a todos los personas que acuden a misa,
que usen su buen juicio al vestir y no provocar
llamando la atención al usar la ropa que no es
adecuada.
SI
Bendiciones, Diácono Carlos

FIFTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
PAGE 12
JULY 10, 2016
During the summer season, it might be a
good time to reflect on how our exterior presence prepares our internal disposition to encounter the Lord. As we enter God’s house to
offer worship and praise, our attitude and attire
should match our belief that we are encountering a God worthy of our respect and honor.
This Sunday, July 10 our parish will participate in the National Needs Combined Collection. This collection makes it possible for the
Church to continue strengthening Catholic faith,
values, and education. It helps support some of
the poorest dioceses in the country that depends on annual collection.
It also enables us to insure the highest standard of quality Catholic education. It strengthens the Church at home, and helps to provide
basic pastoral resources and services to needy
ethnic communities in scattered and isolated
areas.
