Welcome to St. Mary Catholic Church!
WE ARE TO BE TRANSFORMED
Today’s showing forth of God’s glory is filled
with a light that astonishes and reveals. Jesus transfigured on Mount Tabor energizes even the sleepy
apostles, who see but cannot get hold of it. They can
be forgiven for not apprehending the full meaning of
this extraordinary vision of a transfigured Jesus with
Elijah and Moses. The whole of the Law and prophets is summed up here on this mountain.
The transfiguration on Mount Tabor is handed
over to us this Sunday. As Paul reminds us, it is we
who are to be transformed. The light and life of the
Resurrection are set forth here so we do not lose
heart and fall entirely asleep. This Sunday looks to
Easter. It looks to transformation. It asks us to lift up
our heads and acknowledge the risen Lord as our
light and our salvation.

SEREMOS TRANSFORMADOS
La manifestación de la Gloria de Dios en el
Evangelio de hoy está llena de una luz que a la vez
asombra y revela. Jesús, transfigurado en el Monte
Tabor, llena de su energía a los apóstoles adormecidos, que ven la visión, pero no la saben captar. Es
perdonable que no capten del todo el significado de
esta extraordinaria visión de Jesús transfigurado,
entre Moisés y Elías. Aquí, en el monte santo, se
resumen la Ley y los profetas.
Hoy esa transfiguración se nos ofrece y se nos
entrega. Como nos recuerda san Pablo, somos
nosotros los que vamos a ser transformados. Hoy se
nos presentan la luz y la vida de la Resurrección,
para que no nos descorazonemos, no sea que nos
quedemos del todo dormidos. Este domingo ya mira
hacia la Pascua. Mira hacia la transformación. Nos
pide que levantemos
la cabeza, y
reconozcamos al
Señor Resucitado
como nuestra luz y
salvación.

“Uniting children with their
mothers and fathers in
prison”
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:
Once again, I ask your support in the Get on The Bus program. St. Mary’s will be sponsoring the
Father’s Day bus to California Men’s Colony Prison in San Louis Obispo, CA for our Antelope
Valley children and their care givers to visit their fathers/immediate family members in prison on
Saturday, May 14, 2016. On February 21 and February 28, St. Mary’s will take up a dollar collection
at the end of each mass to raise the necessary $4,000 to send our bus.
Get On The Bus is an annual, free trip that brings children from across the state of California to visit
their moms or dads in prison for a special visit. Research shows that maintaining contact through
visits helps kids deal with anxiety, anger, fear and shame over the separation. And, when children are
provided with visitation, their grades improve, they act out less frequently and they’re less likely to
drop out of school.
This may be the only day each year these children will get to see their parent. Get on the Bus
provides each child and their caregivers with pre-trip assistance with prison visiting requirements,
breakfast and snacks, lunch and special activities with their parent inside, dinner, and opportunities for
counseling.
Get on the Bus springs from the philosophical and practical aspects of the Restorative Justice movement, which works toward shifting the focus of the criminal justice system from punishment to
healing.
There are several ways that you can help. In addition to our dollar collection the last weekend of
February, we are in need of the following items:
Backpacks
Travel Bag items (activities, snacks, etc.)
New teddy bears 12”+
Donate Baked Goods/Purchase Baked Goods from Knights of Columbus Fish Fry
Money Donations
Get on the Bus is a non-profit organization. To learn more about the program, please visit
www.getonthebus.us.com. For further information regarding our bus, please contact Diana Cardenas,
(661) 406-0868 or by email at [email protected]. Or Anthony Gandarilla, (818) 307-8519

DID YOU KNOW?
Building your child’s self-esteem could
help prevent abuse
Bullies and predators typically pick easy targets to victimize and abuse. This could be a
child who has low self-esteem or confidence. An abuser may use low self-esteem to
forge a bond with a victim, or even to make
a victim think that he or she deserves abusive treatment. To guard against this, you
can work on building self-esteem by teaching kids their worth as children of God. For
more tips, request a copy of “Balancing Discipline and Self Esteem” from
[email protected].
¿SABÍA USTED?
Fortalecer la autoestima de su hijo o hija
puede ayudar a prevenir el abuso
Los “bullies” o burlones y los depredadores
típicamente escogen objetivos fáciles de
victimizar y de abusar. Éste puede ser un
niño o niña que tiene baja autoestima o
confianza en sí mismo(a). Un abusador
puede usar la baja autoestima del niño para
forjar una relación cercana con su víctima, o
hasta hacerle creer a la víctima que él o ella
merece un tratamiento abusivo. Para que los
niños se protejan contra esto, usted puede
trabajar en fortalecer la autoestima de ellos
enseñándoles a los niños su valor como hijos
de Dios. Para más consejos, pida una copia
del artículo “Balancing Discipline and Self
Esteem” (Balanceando disciplina y
autoestima), escribiendo a [email protected].
