FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK – DEL ESCRITORIO DEL PARROCO
“Joseph’s need for reassurance that the child was the fruit of the Holy Spirit doesn’t diminish his fatherhood but rather enhances it as ‘You must name him Jesus, because He is the One who is to save His people
from their sins’ (Mt 1:21). In other words, thanks to his extraordinary fatherhood he, himself accepted and
permitted the realization of God’s promise to reside amongst His people. Joseph’s great faith helps us to
comprehend that faith assumes a new importance in the most intimate things that belong to us. We are reminded today that everyone of us has received our ‘apostolic mission’ to ‘obtain the obedience of faith’,
and to profess our faith in Jesus Christ (cf Rm1:1-7).
In all of these events we see the great mission that Mary undertook as a privileged instrument in the hands
of God. It is thanks to her that God found His home amongst men, as she became that first resting place of
the Word: ‘Today O Mary you became the book in which our rule is described. In you today is written the
wisdom of the Eternal Father.... O Mary, my sweetest love, in you is written the Word, from whom we have
life’s doctrine. You are the table on which that doctrine rests. I see this Word that is written in you, who is
not without the holy desire of the cross. Immediately that he was delivered to you, the desire of dying for
the health of men, for whom he was incarnated, was grafted and placed in Him.’” (St Catherine of Siena)
(Excerpt from Advent and Christmas by Jennifer Gregory Miller and Darden Brock)
These two paragraphs capture the spirit of Advent and Christmas.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE. FELIZ NAVIDAD PARA TODOS. Fr. Marcelo

ESTA PENSANDO
EN SU DONACION
DE NAVIDAD PARA
SU PARROQUIA?
Puede ayudar de esta
manera:
A medida que nos acercamos a nuestro Centenario, 100 años de gracia y tradición, queremos celebrar nuestra
iglesia material (el edificio) y la iglesia viva
que somos todos nosotros. Para ello tenemos
en mente algunos proyectos importantes.
En primer lugar el Santuario -altar y pisopara lo cual hemos ahorrado y recibido algunas donaciones. En estos momentos hay un
arquitecto trabajando
en el proyecto.
Pero también queremos emprender el PROYECTO
DE LOS VITRALES. Estas her mosas ventanas
que adornan nuestra iglesia son originales pero no
están en buen estado, por lo cual debemos repararlas
para que no se quiebren. Además, y especialmente
del lado de la Calle West San Fernando, la lluvia que
entra por los vitrales está arruinando las paredes.
Hemos recibido el permiso de la Diócesis para iniciar
el proyecto, y comenzaremos con tres ventanas por
un costo de aproximadamente US $ 24,000. Tenemos
el dinero para dos y contamos con su generosidad,
para reparar la tercera, o bien una cuarta. Mientras
más ventanas hagamos por vez más dinero ahorraremos.
Cada familia que done una ventana –US $ 8,000- o
media ventana, tendrá su nombre en una placa debajo
de esa ventana. Todos los demás donantes tendrán su
nombre en una placa grande que colocaremos en la
iglesia.
Si quiere y puede ayudar, por favor, envíe su cheque
durante el mes de diciembre a nombre de St Leo the
Great Church, indicando que es par a el Pr oyecto
de los Vitrales (Stain Glass Window Project). Puede
colocarlo en la colecta, enviarlo por correo o bien
traerlo a la oficina. Toda donación, no importa la
cantidad, es bienvenida.
AYUDENOS A HACER QUE NUESTRA
PARROQUIA DE SAN LEON MAGNO SE MIRE TAN HERMOSA COMO EN REALIDAD
ES. DIOS LES BENDIGA.
ARE YOU THINKING
OF A CHRISTMAS
GIFT FOR YOUR
PARISH THIS YEAR?
This is how you can
help: As we approach
our Centennial, 100
years of grace and tradition, we would like to
beautify and preserve the
legacy we have received,
both in the church built
of stones and the living
church, which is us. We
have at least two main
projects at hand: the
Sanctuary Project –altar
and sanctuary floor- that
is underway. There’s an
architect working on it at
this time, and we have
already received a couple
of donations and saved some money towards it. We
will have more details soon. The second important
project is our STAIN GLASS WINDOWS. They are
original and amazingly beautiful but are not in good
shape. Yes, it is a big project to undertake, but before
they shatter on us we need to do something about it.
The whole project is expensive but we can start now
with your help! I have sought approval from the Art
and Environment Committee from the Diocsese of
San Jose and have also worked with three companies
to give us estimates. The good news is that we will
start the project to have three of the stain glass windows repaired, which costs about US$ 24, 000. I
have enough money for two at this time, but we
count on your generosity to make it to three or four.
The more windows we do at once the less expensive
it will be. The south wall on West San Fernando
Street is the worst, and the water from rain coming in
is damaging the building as you can see, therefore
we will start on that side.
If a family wants to adopt a window –about US $ 8,
000-, or half a window, their names will be on a
plaque under that window. All other donors’ names
will be placed on a larger plaque in the church.
If you feel you can help at any level, please, make
your checks during the month of December payable
to St Leo the Great Church. Memo: Stain Glass Window Project. You can place your check in the collection baskets, mail them or bring them to the parish
office. We are also working on a matching grant
through a local institution.
HELP US MAKE SAINT LEO LOOK AS BEAUTIFUL AS IT CAN BE. GOD BLESS YOU.
