FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK
I want to thank
Bishop Richard
Pates for being
here this
weekend at all
of our Masses
for the formal
Installation ceremony for me
as your Pastor and Fr. Luis as
the Parochial Vicar of Sacred
Heart Church. These past
seven months have truly been
a blessing for both of us as
you have already welcomed us
with open arms and hearts
into your lives and into the
life of this wonderful parish
community. Now that it is
―official‖ I look forward to
the days, weeks, months and
even years ahead that I can
say that I am the Pastor of
Sacred Heart Church in West
Des Moines.
Peace,
JANUARY 31, 2016

If I can be of assistance to you or a loved one on any faith and/or health
concerns, please contact me. I have many resources to share with you.

Love & Be Loved - With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, it reminds us of how important it is to love and be loved. Here
are a few one-liners to reflect upon :)
 A hug is a great gift. One size fits all and it can be given for any occasion.
 Love is strengthened by working through conflicts together.
 Harsh words break no bones, but they do break hearts.
 Love is the only thing that can be divided without being diminished.
 Love…and you shall be loved.
 Anger is a condition in which the tongue works faster than the mind.
 All people smile in the same language.
 Laughter is God’s sunshine.
 Take time to laugh for it’s the music of the soul.
 You are richer if you have laughed, loved, given, and forgiven.
GRIEF GROUP: Winter Seasons of Hope Grief group beginning Monday, February 1st-March 7, 2016 from 1-3 pm in the Church
Library. Where ever you are in your grief journey-a recent loved one’s death, or if it has been months, or over a year since your
loss, please know this support group can help. It is a Christ-centered faith sharing group. Please contact Nancy Carlson to reserve
a space (225-6414, ext.315).
BLOOD PRESSURE SCREENING:

RCIA—RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION OF ADULTS
BECOMING CATHOLIC…WHAT IS THE ROLE OF THE PARISH
COMMUNITY? The past two weeks we looked at the four stages of
the RCIA and that the parish community is the primary facilitator for
RCIA. What are specific steps that parishioners can take in the stages
of RCIA? The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, paragraph 9, states
that ―the entire community must help the candidates and catechumens
throughout the process of initiation:
during the period of the
precatechumenate, the period of the catechumenate, the period of
purification and enlightenment, and the period of postbaptismal
catechesis or mystagogy. In particular:
1. During the period of evangelization and precatechumenate, the
faithful should remember that for the Church and its members the
supreme purpose of the apostolate is that Christ’s message is made
known to the world by word and deed and that his grace is
communicated. They should therefore show themselves ready to
give the candidates evidence of the spirit of the Christian community
and to welcome them into their homes, into personal conversation,
and into community gatherings.
2. At the celebrations belonging to the period of the catechumenate,
the faithful should seek to be present whenever possible and should
take an active part in the responses, prayers, singing, and
acclamations.
3. On the day of election, because it is a day of growth for the
community, the faithful, when called upon, should be sure to give
honest and carefully considered testimony about the catechumens.
4. During Lent, the period of purification and enlightenment, the
faithful should take care to participate in the rites of the scrutinies
and presentations and give the elect the example of their own
renewal in the spirit of penance, faith, and charity. At the Easter
Vigil, they should attach great importance to renewing their own
baptismal promises.
5. During the period immediately after baptism, the faithful should
take part in the Masses for neophytes, that is, the Sunday Masses
of the Easter season, welcome the neophytes with open arms in
charity, and help them to feel more at home in the community of the
baptized.‖
Are you interested in learning more about becoming Catholic or how you
can participate as a Sacred Heart parishioner? Contact Casey Conner at
[email protected] or call 515-225-6414 ext. 309.

Hay un canto muy bonito que me lleva a reflexionar en mi apertura
para encontrar a Dios en cada una de las cosas que hago a diario. El
canto se canta durante el tiempo de cuaresma la letra va así: ―Con
nosotros esta y no le conoces, con nosotros esta, su nombre esta su
nombre es el señor…‖ Este canto me llega a lo más profundo de mi
corazón; porque me hace meditar en mi ministerio sacerdotal; por una
parte al inicio de mi ministerio estaba un grupo de personas que me
esperan con bombos y platillos alegres porque la Iglesia les había dado
otro sacerdote; por otro lado había otro grupo de personas que me
esperaban con prejuicios viendo solo mis defectos humanos y no mis
virtudes como sacerdote.
Algo similar pasa en el evangelio de esta semana Jesús es recibido con
bombos y platillos. Una gran fiesta se avecina. La ciudad, deslucida,
adquiere esplendor; un pueblo que se siente maravillado por la forma en
que habla el hijo de José y María; Pero luego la duda adquiere el lugar
de la fe. Pudo más la costumbre de lo compartido, pudo más el
recuerdo de aquél que, como niño, jugaría en la plaza con todos los
demás, pudo más el encasillamiento que ellos tenían de Jesús, que la fe
que el Señor pedía para ayudarles. Cuando la duda asalta y gana el
corazón de los hombres surgen preguntas como esta: ¿No es este el
hijo de José? Y la duda llega y se hace más fuerte y nuestro corazón
se perturba. Así pasa hermanos cuando tú dudas de la
acción viva de Jesucristo en los sacramentos. Muchas
veces dudamos tanto que Jesús está presente el
santísimo sacramento del altar, que él se inmola cada
día, para la salvación de nuestras almas. Así como dice
el canto recuerda que el señor ―Con nosotros esta y no
le conocéis con nosotros esta y su nombre es
Jesucristo el Señor‖
