Stop Assisted Suicide in CA before it’s too late!
Earlier this year, through a Special Session, the CA legislature passed assisted suicide, allowing doctors to prescribe overdose medication to terminally ill patients. Join a coalition of physicians, nurses, disability-rights organizations, and people of all faiths to stand for the lives of our elderly and dying and oppose assisted suicide! On
the weekends of December 5/6, 12/13, &19/20 petitions will be available for signature outside of Masses. Signers
must be registered to vote in California and can only sign once.
Why Oppose Assisted Suicide?
•
Sends the Wrong Message: Legalizing suicide for the terminally ill, while discouraging it for the rest of
the population, teaches that the lives of the ill and disabled do not matter to our society.
•
Will Worsen Patient Care: Patients in other states, like Barbara Wagner in Oregon, are being denied treatment prescribed by their doctors, and instead offered drugs for assisted suicide.
•
Will Increase Non-Terminal Suicide Rates: Suicides skyrocket when assisted suicide is legalized. Oregon's
suicide rate for non-terminal people increased 49% after assisted suicide became legal.

What does Comprehensive Youth Ministry look like here?
From the USCCB’s document, Renewing the Vision:
“If parishes are to be worthy of the loyalty and active participation
of youth, they will need to become "youth-friendly" communities in
which youth have a conspicuous presence in parish life. These are
parish communities that value young people—welcoming them into
their midst; listening to them; responding to their needs; supporting
them with prayer, time, facilities, and money. These are parish
communities that see young people as resources—recognizing and
empowering their gifts and talents, giving them meaningful roles in
leadership and ministry, and encouraging their contributions. These
are parish communities that provide young people with
opportunities for intergenerational relationships—developing
relationships with adults who serve as role models and mentors. In
short, "youth-friendly" parish communities make a commitment to
young people and their growth.”
If you see a young adult in Mass by themselves or with one or two
others, give them a smile and a introduce yourself. Make them fell
welcomed and supported and help them to find out more about this
beautiful community of believers. Your welcome will tell them more
about this community than all the sermons and webpages out there.

AÑO DE LA MISERICORDIA
Su objetivo es hacernos un llamado a la misericordia, nos da a Conocer el concepto de
misericordia revelado por Cristo. El Papa francisco, nos dice que el señor nos revela su
misericordia, A través del sacramento de la reconciliación. Aunque a veces lo Olvidemos
el primer gesto de misericordia de Jesus es el perdón De nuestros pecados, es la
máximaliberación de la persona. También nos dice el papa Francisco, que todo en Jesús es
compasión y esto Nos sirve para afirmar que las parábolas de Jesús nos invitan a escoger
un Estilo de vida mejor Y dejarnos conducir de su mano a un cambio de vida.
