Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe
One of the most revered images of Mary, Our Lady of
Guadalupe, the symbol of the Catholic faith in the
New World. This mosaic was made in Mexico and is
bordered by a bronze frame of the “Burning Bush”-an
image recalling Mary’s virgin motherhood.
Underneath is an inscription of Our Lady’s words to
Juan Diego, to whom she appeared on
December 12, 1531.

Albergue Invernal para los Homeless
Fondo para la Jubilación
de Religiosos
Dec. 14th and 15th, 2013
Los religiosos y las religiosas ancianos están
necesitados de ayuda. Hermanas, hermanos y
sacerdotes católicos de órdenes religiosas que ahora son
ancianos ofrecieron su vida en servicio a los demás,—
educando la juventud, consolando a los enfermos,
buscando justicia para los oprimidos. Hoy, muchos son
frágiles, ancianos y necesitan atención médica.
Su donativo al Fondo para la Jubilación de Religiosos
apoya el cuidado básico como medicamentos y
cuidados de enfermería. Sea generoso en su donativo
a la segunda colecta de este fin de semana.
Segunda Colecta Especial Próximo

le abrirá sus puertas a
más de 100 hombres “sin

reúnen en este tiempo para proveer comidas para el
albergue. Nuestra segunda colecta este fin de semana será

que todos tienen su presupuesto ajustado, estamos
especialmente agradecidos por su apoyo.

Deus caritas est - The Greatest Gift that Remains
SecureGive Kiosk
You may have noticed there’s something new at the back of
the Cathedral. The machine to left of the doors is a
SecureGive kiosk. Our kiosk offers a convenient new way
for parishioners and visitors to donate to the Cathedral.
We invite you to try it out!
What is a kiosk?
A giving kiosk is similar to an ATM, but instead of giving
you money, it allows you to use a bank or credit card to
give an offering.
Why is a kiosk needed?
It is becoming rare these days for people to carry a
checkbook or even cash with them. Our giving kiosk
provides you with a convenient option to make an offering
by using a bank or credit card.
How does the kiosk work?
Our giving kiosk is user-friendly. The first time you use it,
you will set up an account. For future uses, simply log in
and follow the screen instructions to make an offering or
other gift. For a few weeks before and after Mass, we will
try to have staff available to help.
Is the kiosk secure?
Yes. Your information is completely secure when you use
our giving kiosk. Our system has multiple layers of
encryption to insure that all of your personal data is secure.
Who to contact with more questions about the kiosk?
If you have any questions about the giving kiosk, please
contact our Development Department at 567-2020 ext. 229.
Archbishop’s Annual Appeal 2013
We are always grateful to our parishioners who come
through with their donations to help us meet our goal at the
end of the year. If you have not yet made your donation this
year, please contribute soon as the end of the year is rapidly
approaching.
Please note the large amount still due is: $17,594
DAYS LEFT TO DONATE: 24
The 2013 AAA Goal for this year is $47,500
As the solemnity of Christmas approaches, the Cathedral
welcomes contributions to help adorn its great space with floral
tributes. Your gift, which can honor someone special, will share the
joy and beauty of this special time of the church year with everyone
who visits the Cathedral during this season of renewal and hope.
Deadline for donations is Wednesday, December 18, 2013.
