Important Announcement
A Call to Action from the American
Bishops
In this Year of Faith, the Catholic Bishops of the United States have called for a
nationwide effort to advance a Movement for Life, Marriage, and Religious
Liberty through prayer, penance, and sacrifice. Catholics across the nation are
being encouraged to pray for rebuilding a culture favorable to life and marriage
and for increased protections of religious liberty. (Go online to
http://usccb.org/beliefs-and-teachings/how-we-teach/newevangelization/year-of-faith/life-marriage-liberty.cfm.)
The well being of society requires that life, marriage, and religious liberty
are promoted and protected. Serious threats to each of these goods, however,
have raised unprecedented challenges to the Church and to the nation. Two
immediate flashpoints demand our attention:
 First, the new U.S. Health and Human Services mandate requires
almost all employers, including Catholic employers, to pay for employees’
contraception, sterilization, and abortifacient drugs regardless of
conscientious objections. This is a clear affront to America's first freedom,
religious liberty, and to the inherent dignity of every human person.
"And you, Bethlehem, land of Judah,
are by no means least among the
rulers of Judah; since from you shall
come a ruler, who is to shepherd my
people Israel."
- Mt 2:6
 Second, current trends in both government and culture are moving
toward redefining marriage as the union of any two persons. Such
trends ignore marriage’s fundamental meaning and purpose as the
universal institution that unites a man and a woman with each other and
with the children born from their union.
The goal of this call to prayer is twofold: to increase awareness of these
challenges and to build spiritual stamina and fortitude among the faithful so
that we can be effective and joyful witnesses of faith, hope, and charity as agents
of the New Evangelization.
Please continue reading inside for the five important components that the Bishops
are asking of us all in their Call to Prayer for Life, Marriage and Religious Liberty.

Monthly Eucharistic Holy
Hours in cathedrals and
parishes. These special Holy
Hours at St. Brendan’s will take

fasting and abstinence for the
intention of the protection of
life, marriage, and religious
liberty. (The general practice of
fasting allows a person to eat
one full meal for the day. Two
smaller meals may also be
taken, which together should be
less than the equivalent of one
full meal. Abstinence means
refraining from meat and meat
products.)
Another
Fortnight

conduct their professional lives

convictions.

EN ESPAÑOL
LA EPIFANÍA DEL SEÑOR
6 DE ENERO, 2012
Aviso Importante: Un llamado de Acción de nuestros Obispos
En este Año de la Fe los Obispos Católicos de los Estados Unidos han lanzado una campaña sobre los
temas de gran importancia de La Vida, El Matrimonio y La Libertad Religiosa a través de oración, penitencia y sacrificio. Se invita a todos los católicos de la nación a orar por la reconstrucción de una cultura
que favorezca la vida y el matrimonio y por mayores protecciones a la libertad religiosa. (Visite la página
de internet www.usccb.org/life-marriage-liberty para más información).
Por el bien de la sociedad ésta requiere que la Vida, el Matrimonio, y Libertad Religiosa sean promovidos y protegidos. Por ello, la campaña presenta retos a la Iglesia y a la nación. Dos puntos inmediatos que necesitan de nuestra atención son los siguientes:

Primero, el nuevo mandato por el Departamento de Salud y Servicios Humanos de Los Estados
Unidos que obliga a empleadores incluyendo líderes de agencias religiosas a pagar por esterilizaciones de mujeres, fármacos que provocan abortos, y anticonceptivos, incluso los que provocan abortos.

Segundo, la nueva tendencia en ambos, el gobierno y la cultura sobre la redefinición del matrimonio como la unión de dos personas cualquiera. Tal tendencia ignora el significado fundamental
del propósito de ésta institución universal como es el Matrimonio, donde la unión es de un hombre y
una mujer y los hijos nacidos de esa unión.
El propósito de este llamado es el de crear conciencia a estos retos y construir lazos espirituales fuertes
entre nuestra comunidad de fe para que podamos, de una manera más efectiva, ser testigos de fe, esperanza y caridad como agentes de la Nueva Evangelización.
Los Cinco componentes de la campaña incluirán:
1. Horas Santas con exposición del Santísimo Sacramento cada mes en catedrales y parroquias. En
San Brendan se llevarán a cabo el último Domingo del mes de las 3:45pm a las 4:45pm en la Iglesia.
La primera Hora Santa será el Domingo 30 de Diciembre, 2012.
2. Los individuos y familias son exhortados a rezar el Rosario diariamente, especialmente por la preservación de la Vida, el Matrimonio y la Libertad Religiosa en el país.
3. Peticiones especiales en las Oraciones de los Fieles durante todas las Misas.
4. Ayuno y abstinencia todos los viernes, hasta el término del Año de la Fe el 24 de Noviembre del
2013. Ofrezca este sacrificio de ayuno y abstinencia por la intensión de la protección de la vida, matrimonio, y libertad religiosa.
5. Observar otra quincena por la Libertad Religiosa en Junio/Julio 2013. Esta quincena de oración será
un recordatorio visible y vibrante de Dios, de nuestro derecho de poder profesar nuestra fe públicamente,
así como los derechos de individuos e instituciones de practicar sus vidas profesionales de acuerdo con
sus convicciones religiosas.
¡Únase al movimiento!
Oremos por nuestra nación. Oremos por La Vida, el Matrimonio y la Libertad Religiosa
