Beloved brothers and sisters in Christ,
As I write to you, I am in the process of taking stock of
my ministry here with you as I approach the 8th month
mark as your Rector. An important part of that inventory
is carefully reviewing our Cathedral ministries and how to
move forward with them for your spiritual edifica on.
One of the areas that I have been giving careful a en on
to almost from day one has been the liturgical music at
our Masses.
Following a careful scru ny of liturgical music resources, I made the decision to have the Cathedral purchase the Saint Michael Hymnals. These hymnals contain
music that is very appropriate for our diverse liturgical
demographic here at the Cathedral. The hymnal includes
La n, English, Spanish and contemporary hymns.
A Cathedral is the Mother Church of a Diocese which
means that our Liturgies must always be exemplary and a
model of excellence. Whether one a ends Mass where
the music is tradi onal La n and/or English, Spanish, or
contemporary church music, my goal as Rector is that
every person who walks into this church, leaves spiritually
upli ed, full of joy, and peace because of the high quality
of our liturgies, music included.
The Saint Michael Hymnals will be in the pews beginning the First Sunday of Advent which will be the 5:00 PM
Sunday Vigil Mass on Saturday, November 28.
Thank you for your a en on to this message and may
the Lord con nue to give you all His Peace.
Fr. Jacob Carazo, OFM Conv.

PURE FRANKINCENSE
For the past few years, we have obtained the raw, pure frankincense that we use for liturgies at
the Cathedral from Jerusalem. This incense has the advantage of being nearly hypoallergenic; no
perfumes or dyes or anything other than pure incense resin. It also has the advantage of being
cheap! Usually, pilgrims can find pure frankincense for less than $6/lb. while incense bought in
specialty stores or online can run over $40/lb.
If you or someone you know is planning a trip to the Holy Land, or know someone who is,
please get in touch with Gwen at [email protected] or through the Parish Office.
SISTER CARMEN’S 60TH JUBILEE
Sister Carmen entered the convent of the Sisters of the Holy Family in San Francisco in 1955. She worked in California un l 1976, then came to Reno where she
has been since. Her ministries have been Religious Educa on and helping the
poor and needy in our area. Since she has been here, Sister Carmen has touched
and brightened numerous lives.
A recep on will be held outside of Our Lady of the Snows Church on Sunday,
September 20th from 8:30AM-12:30PM to show our apprecia on to Sister Carmen.

JOKE
A grandmother is watching her grandchild playing on the beach when a huge wave
comes and takes him out to sea. She pleads, "Please God, save my only grandson.
I beg of you, bring him back." And a big wave comes and washes the boy back onto
the beach, good as new. She looks up to heaven and says: "He had a hat!"

Then He looked up to heaven
and groaned, and said to him,
“Ephphatha!”
(That is, “Be opened!”)
And immediately the man’s
ears were opened, his speech
impediment was removed, and
he spoke plainly.
Will you help Billie?
Some of you may remember Billie Batek who was involved in
our music ministry right before her health deteriorated to the point
to which she became homebound.
Billie suffers from Mul ple sclerosis, a sneaky and mean disease
which has robbed her of her right peripheral sight in January of 2015,
quickly followed by stammering, word searching, stumbling, falling
and tremors. Billie was hospitalized three separate mes last year
and received infusion therapy.
She is unable to walk unaided, and is o en in a wheel chair.
Her vision con nues to decline, and the blindness has moved to her
le eye. She is o en unable to hold a glass of water; when she does
drink she chokes due to loss of muscle control in her throat.
Consequently Billie is unable to work. She has sold everything of
value and is now turning to our community for help. She receives
SNAP benefits for food, and Medicaid covers her medica ons as well
as her physician appointments and treatments. S ll her financial situa on is beyond dire. Billie desperately needs rent money and daily
life necessi es (u li es, etc.)
She has spent many hours in prayer which has led her to this request. Whatever you may find you are able to share with her, will be
greatly appreciated.
If you wish to talk to her, you may call her at (775)247-1650.
A PayPal account has been set up: [email protected].
This will allow her to access funds immediately.
El Grupo de Oración de la Catedral, La Sagrada Familia,
les invita todos los Miércoles a las 6:30 PM.

ENTRADA
Hacia ti, morada santa, hacia ti, tierra de salvación, peregrinos caminantes vamos hacia ti.
Venimos a tu mesa, sellaremos tu pacto, comeremos tu carne, tu sangre nos limpiará.
Reinaremos contigo en tu morada santa, beberemos tu sangre, tu fe nos salvará.
Somos tu pueblo santo que hoy camina unido: Tú vas entre nosotros, tu amor nos guiará.
Tú eres el camino. Tú eres la esperanza, hermano de los pobres. Amén. Aleluya.
SALMO
Alaba, alma mía, al Señor. (2)
OFERTORIO
Purifícame, Señor, con tu gracia. Purifícame, Señor, con la lluvia de tu gracia.
Purifícame. Lléname, Señor, de esperanza y al entrar en tu morada, purifícame.
Transfigúrame, Señor, a tu imagen. Transfigúrame, Señor a la luz de tus palabras.
Transfigúrame. Guíame, Señor, por tus sendas y al calor de tu mirada, transfigúrame.
A tu lado quiero estar, en tu mesa. A tu lado quiero estar, y gozar de tu presencia.
Compartir tu pan. Yo no sé Señor si soy digno de que hagas de mi casa tu morada.
Pero yo quisiera ser tu invitado. Tu invitado quiero ser, y sentir con mis hermanos.
Que tu cuerpo es pan, pan de eternidad, pan del cielo, vino nuevo de la alianza, sacramento.
En tu nombre anunciaré tu evangelio. En tu nombre anunciaré el mensaje de tu reino.
Quiero serte fiel, Tú vendrás, Señor, a mi lado. Llevaré la buena nueva a mis hermanos.
COMUNIÓN
Como por las fuentes de agua, el ciervo sediento brama, así por verte Dios mío, mi alma sedienta clama.
Cuando veré tu rostro, Señor, de frente, de frente; cuando estarás presente ante mí, por siempre, por siempre.
Mis lágrimas fueron pan de cada noche y de día, mientras todos me decían: dime donde está tu Dios.
y recuerdo cuando iba con el pueblo en procesión, con canciones alabanzas a casa de mi Señor.
¿Por qué estás triste alma mía? ¿Por qué te turbas así? Espera en Dios y confía, tu nostalgia tendrá fin.
Y en mi mente te recuerdo desde el Jordán y el Hermón y desde el pequeño monte, porque Tú eres mi creador.
Una cima grita a otra, como cascada es tu voz, el torrente de tus olas arrulla mi corazón,
pero el Señor, en su día, misericordia tendrá y a mi Dios las alabanzas por fin volveré a cantar.
Dime, Yahvé, roca mía, ¿te has olvidado de mí? ¡El enemigo me oprime y se burla, ay de mí!
En ti solo espero, tú eres la salvación y por siempre en tu morada, calmaré mi sed de Dios.
SALIDA
Todos los pueblos de la tierra, confíen siempre en Dios. (2)
Descansa mi alma en el Señor, porque Él es mi esperanza; es mi roca y salvación, no vacilaré.
De Dios viene mi salvación y con Él está mi gloria. Es mi roca siempre firme, es mi refugio.
Pueblo, confía siempre en El, denle su corazón. El será nuestro refugio, vivían siempre en Él.
No confíen en la opresión, no se ilusionen en el robo y aunque tengan riquezas, no pongan ahí su corazón.
