Page Two March 10, 2013 Dear Parishioners: I feel like we should be on HGTV! The makeover is in progress! For us as Catholics the ultimate personal makeover is to look more and more like Jesus Christ. And the community makeover that takes on visibility is the facilities in which we gather. St. Paul talks about the makeover in this fashion: “Whoever is in Christ is a new creation.” Let’s take a quick look at our parish community and name some of this new creation. Personal makeovers in progress! Over 100 high school aged confirmation students are headed for retreat next weekend. What a wonderful opportunity to meet the person of Christ and be transformed by the encounter! 40 Acts of Kindness offered by innumerable parishioners equaling a torrent of grace for so many! Community makeovers in progress: OUR PARKING LOT! Our effort to build a new church building! We promised last Easter that more parking would be available before Easter 2013. We did it! The new lot will be ready for use next week. Please join me in celebrating the Grand Opening after each of the Sunday Masses on March 17 (except 5:30 pm because it will be too dark). The Gospel today says, “Now we must celebrate and rejoice.” So come dine at the site of our new church! Enjoy the sign of faithfulness that the new parking lot proclaims. It also means that we are ready for the effort to build our new church. I’m so looking forward to speaking with you at all the Masses next weekend. I also have a new talent to share with you. ☺ With God all things are possible, Monsignor Richard Martini PARKING LOT PROGRESS AND LENT The new parking lot is progressing on schedule and will be available for use next weekend! God is good! Landscaping is occurring now. Let’s start thinking about how we might use the new lot as a way to fulfill our Lenten promise of 40 acts of kindness. Begin now to imagine using the new parking lot. Let’s be kind to the nearby businesses who have so graciously allowed us to park near them. Rather than parking in the same spot that you have become accustomed to at these businesses, make plans to use the new lot. See it in your imagination first. Then make it happen when the lot opens. Just another thought for Lent. One of your 40 acts of kindness. Fourth Sunday of Lent Page Three HOSPITALITY VOLUNTEERS NEEDED Next Sunday, March 17th from 7:30 a.m. – 7:30 p.m. Looking for spirited volunteers to help with the celebration of opening our new Parking Lot! Must be 14 years of age or accompanied by an adult. We are looking for helpers with energetic personalities to help with set-up, greeting, and clearing tables as parishioners come and enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner. We will have two-hour shifts available from 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Make sure to wear green. Hello!! We are calling you to be with us “Together in Mission”!! This is a great way to get volunteer hours for school kids or to get involved in the excitement of what’s happening at our Parish! We thank all who have committed to help us to keep our school open! God bless you! But not all the children celebrate with their arms up! Why? As of March 3rd, OLPH has reached only 76.4% of the assessed amount! We desperately need more participation and sharing with our less fortunate brothers and sisters in our Archdiocese. We are short of our assessment by $28,615! Save a movie a month, or skip a dinner out or deprive yourself of some pleasure and share that with one of the parishes or schools in need of your support! If you are available to help with this wonderful celebration, please contact Maria Holloway at 661-510-6460 or email [email protected]. With God All Things Are Possible! For your convenience, pledge envelopes are in the pews. You may also go online to www.olph-church.org and click on “Online giving” ST.

Page Six March 10, 2013 THE YEAR OF FAITH The Catechism of the Catholic Church, which came into effect in 1992, is divided into four major parts: The Profession of Faith (26-1065), The Celebration of the Christian Mystery (1066-1690), Life in Christ (1691-2557), and Christian Prayer (2558-2865). The numbers following each of the parts are the numbered paragraphs that relate to those parts. As you can see the first part, which is dedicated to the Profession of Faith, is the largest part, and rightly so because our faith is what unites us and is based upon a relationship with God. In the following weeks we will explore the Profession of Faith. What exactly do we say that we believe? But a more challenging personal question is: Do I as an individual believe what we, the Church, say we believe? Take a look at both the Apostle’s Creed and the Nicene Creed and ask yourself these questions. After all, this is the Year of Faith! 10TH ANNUAL MARCH FOR LIFE Sponsored by the Van Nuys Chapter of the Knights of Columbus, all are invited to join the walk on Ventura Boulevard in support of choosing life. The walk will begin at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, March 16th, at St. Cyril of Jerusalem Catholic Church, 15520 Ventura Blvd. in Encino. This 2 mile walk and is a part of a “Celebration of Life’ that starts with an opening prayer. Walkers will return to St Cyril’s Church for a closing prayer at 11:30 a.m. Funds raised will be used to help the Pregnancy Counseling Centers and other pro-life activities. The walk is family friendly and inclusive to all faiths.

Fourth Sunday of Lent Page Seven RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION OF ADULTS During the weeks of Lent, the "Elect" will wear a brown robe as they prepare for baptism. The brown robe is a visual to set the unbaptized apart from the baptized community. The brown robe symbolizes "original sin" which we are all born into as we enter this world. The brown robe of sin will be exchanged for the white robe of sanctifying grace in baptism at the Easter Vigil. On the Third, Fourth, and Fifth Sundays of Lent, our Elect will be celebrating rites during the period of Purification and Enlightenment. These rites are the Scrutinies. Each is a rite of exorcism. The Scrutinies are for self searching and repentance. Their purpose is to heal all that is weak, defective or sinful in the hearts of the Elect. They also bring out and strengthen all that is upright, strong and good. The Scrutinies deliver the Elect from the power of sin and protect them against temptation, giving them strength in Christ who is the way, the truth and the life.

All activities are meant to enhance knowledge about God while taking a break from traditional “school” teaching, instead take a “vacation”! With help from volunteers, our church campus is transformed into colorful FUN areas. Adults lead activity stations. High School teens lead campers from station to station. Jr. High students learn behind the scene roles of running a camp. “Campers”, kids in pre-school through 6th grade experience “hands on” life enhancing activities in a safe, fun, sometimes wet, happy setting filled with lots of opportunities to break out into song and dance. Vacation Bible School is held in the morning, at OLPH, the 3rd week in July. Campers wear special t-shirts and receive a camp CD of theme music, plus 3 solid hours of engaging activities with GOD, and all His wonder, as the main attraction. OLPH encourages families to consider making VBS a priority when making summer plans. The whole family can “vacation” close to home. Schedule OLPH VBS for this summer and experience a fun week! VBS is currently accepting adult volunteers for camp administration roles and station leaders, training provided. Please contact the Religious Ed. Office or call Liz Lewallyn 661-993-4050 for more information. Summer planning has begun, step up and join the team! Summer 2013 dates: July 15 ― 19th GET HOOKED ON ST. CLARE’S FISH FRIES!

CHARTER FOR PROTECTION OF CHILDREN & YOUNG PEOPLE MARKS 10 YEARS 2012 marks the 10th anniversary of the implementation of the US Bishops’ Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People. The Charter contains practical and pastoral steps that address allegations of sexual abuse, prevent future abuse, and help abuse victims through the healing process. Over the past decade, more than 100,000 adults and children have undergone abuse awareness and prevention sessions in archdiocesan parishes and schools. More than 5,000 VIRTUS® sessions have been conducted, making access to this important training easily available. Additionally, the archdiocese continues to be one of the largest private organizations in California to fingerprint employees and volunteers (more than 100,000 to date) who work with our children.

PLAN PASTORAL PARROQUIAL Nuestra Parroquia del Perpetuo Socorro, está ahora poniendo en práctica lo que hemos escrito en nuestro Plan Pastoral Parroquial, por lo que atendiendo al Pilar #4 Servicio, la visión 2, meta #3 que nos invita a mantener informada sobre cuestiones espirituales, sociales y morales; compartimos contigo esta información importante: Hoy compartimos una segunda parte de información sobre cómo detectar la violencia en el noviazgo. Situación que moralmente está afectando a un buen número de jóvenes hoy en día. Señales que viven violencia en el noviazgo: Si el novio o la novia: Controla a donde va Contrala con quien se junta o platica. Invade sus espacios personales, vigilando continuamente. Amenaza para obtener lo que quiere. Quiere cambiar lo que a ti te gusta. Se enoja y deja de hablar por un largo tiempo. Revisa sus pertenecías (bolsa, celular, correo electrónico, etc.) Sin consentimiento toca o besa a su pareja. Agresión física (no necesariamente grave, puede ser jalones, pellizcos, empujones etc.) Las consecuencias de vivir un noviazgo con Violencia: Con el tiempo, la autoestima se debilita y vienen situaciones difíciles en el ámbito personal. Se empieza a dejar de creer en ti misma (o) y permites que otros te agredan también. Se llega a creer que “mereces ser tratad@ así”. ¡Pero eso no es verdad! Se podría llegar a pensar que nadie más podrá amarte. ¡Tú puedes y debes aspirar a un Amor verdadero! Este artículo continuará… PROGRESO DEL ESTACIONAMIENTO Y LA CUARESMA. ¡El nuevo estacionamiento está progresando y estará disponible para su uso a mediados de Marzo! ¡Dios es bueno! La jardinería se está empezando ahorita. Vamos a ponernos a pensar en cómo podemos usar el Nuevo estacionamiento, como una manera de realizar nuestra promesa de Cuaresma de las 40 obras de bondad. Empieza a Imaginarte usando el nuevo estacionamiento. Vamos siendo amables con los negocios cercanos que graciosamente nos han permitido estacionarnos cerca de ellos. En vez de estacionarte en el mismo lugar al que ya estás acostumbrado alrededor de estos negocios, has planes de usar el nuevo lote. Míralo en tu imaginación primero. Luego, hazlo posible cuando el estacionamiento este abierto. Solo otro pensamiento para la Cuaresma. Una de tus 40 obras de bondad.

EL ESTATUTO PARA LA PROTECCIÓN DE NIÑOS Y JÓVENES CUMPLE 10 AÑOS En el 2012 se conmemoro el decimo aniversario de la implementación del Estatuto adoptado por los Obispos de los Estados Unidos para la protección de niños y jóvenes. Es Estatuto contiene medidas prácticas y pastorales con relación a los casos de abuso sexual; sobre cómo prevenir futuros abusos y como ayudar a las víctimas de abuso durante el proceso de sanación. Durante la última década, más de 100,000 adultos y niños en nuestras parroquias y escuelas han participado en los programas para la concientización y prevención sobre el abuso sexual. Se han realizado más de 5 mil sesiones de VIRTUS®, poniendo este importante entrenamiento al alcance de todos. Además, la Arquidiócesis sigue siendo una de las más grandes organizaciones privadas en California que registra las huellas digitales de empleados y voluntarios (hasta la fecha más de 100,000) que trabajan con niños. PASOS El tema de la primera lectura de hoy es el cumplimiento. La caminata de cuarenta años de los israelitas ha terminado, ahora establecen su campamento en la Tierra Prometida y celebran la Pascua. El maná que los ha sostenido en el desierto cesa; de ahora en adelante tendrán que comer del producto de la tierra. Nuestra Eucaristía –el maná de nuestra jornada– terminará cuando entremos al cielo. Pablo, en la segunda lectura, habla de cambio. Lo viejo ha terminado: todo es n u e v o . L a reconciliación se ha logrado en Cristo. El mensaje tiene que ser proclamado en todo lugar por los embajadores de Cristo. Cristo nos dio la hermosa parábola del hijo pródigo para responder a la crítica de los fariseos: “Este hombre recibe a los pecadores y come con ellos”. Jesús nos cuenta la historia no para ilustrar algún vago ideal humano sobre la tolerancia y la aceptación. Él quiere que identifiquemos al padre con Dios – un Dios que se sale de las reglas, de las leyes y del sentido Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. común para aceptar y perdonar.
