Among the treasures will be relics of St. Maria Goretti, St. Therese of Lisieux (the “Little Flower"), St. Francis of Assisi, St. Anthony of Padua, St. Thomas Aquinas, and St. Faustina Kowalska. In addition, there will also be present a portion of the veil of Our Lady, as well as one of the largest remaining pieces of the True Cross in the world.

The pastor of Parroquia Santisimo Sacramento, (Church of the Blessed Sacrament) in Piura, is Father Joseph Uhen, a graduate of Christ the King in Oklahoma City and Notre Dame University. His ministry to the poor has spanned 17 years. The incredible work he has done was assisted by individuals just like us who feel the call to 'listen to the cries of the poor'. Our mission trip this year is June 20 - 29. For more information please contact Robert O'Connor at 341-2591, or e-mail: [email protected]. “Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me” Matthew 25:40 Youth Schedule HIGH SCHOOL Sunday, March 16 - No Youth Wednesday, March 19, 5-8 p.m. - Basketball, dodge ball, and ultimate Frisbee competition.

Cory Stanley - 359-2700 [email protected] March 16, 2014 FROM THE PASTOR Each Friday of Lent we have a simple Lenten meal in the hall and then Stations of the Cross in church. I do hope you will make plans to attend this gathering and to experience the traditional Lenten prayer form of Stations of the Cross. Try to incorporate more daily Mass and individual confession into your Lenten practices. Recall that in Lent we have two more daily Masses each week and still more confession opportunities in the St. Augustine Chapel. We are rapidly closing in on that time of year when we have many special events. At Easter we welcome many new people into the Church. After Easter we have First Holy Communions, Confirmations, and graduations. I want to offer some instructions for any religious gifts you may seek to purchase for these events. I ask you to recall that certain gifts should have a specifically Catholic character. Rather than simply a bare cross, it is customary that Catholics own and venerate a crucifix, which is a cross bearing the image of the crucified Christ. I encourage you to make sure that crucifixes you may purchase have the image of the Lord crucified. Crucifixes showing Jesus resurrected, or in some other posture, are not true historical images (as he was not resurrected on the cross). These also are not traditional expressions of the saving image of Jesus who has sacrificed himself for our salvation. Also, when it comes to purchasing Bibles, Catholics should make sure to own and use a Catholic edition or a Catholic translation of the Bible. A Catholic Bible contains more books than the edited Protestant versions contain. The Bible is a Catholic book. It both expresses Catholic faith and it was compiled and put together by the authority of the Catholic Church under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Catholics will want to make sure to own and to use Catholic editions of the Bible. If you are in doubt, ask your priests for advice. We are happy to help! Parents will want to be particularly attentive to providing your children and relatives properly Catholic gifts. By the way, we are blessed with a large RCIA crowd this year. The numbers fluctuate some for various reasons, but at this year’s Easter Vigil we are anticipating having 12 baptisms and slightly more than 30 additional people enter the full communion of the Catholic Church. We are blessed by this, as well as by the excitement that builds for our children and youth who will be making important steps in their Catholic life with First Holy Communion and Confirmation.

He shows how the Eucharist relates to explaining Jesus' death and resurrection, and how Blessed John Paul II's call for a New Evangelization must be based on the Eucharist. Glimpses Along the Way of the Cross: Fr. James Shea guides us along the Stations of the Cross, teaching us how to better open our hearts to the suffering of Jesus on His way to Calvary. Weaving together the insights of keen believers like Caryll Houselander, Archbishop Fulton Sheen, and Dr. James Edwards, these meditations take us into the depths of Christ's agony, and back out again into the relief and joy of what His sacrifice means for us. Communion to the Homebound If you or someone you know is ill, in the hospital, homebound or not able to get to Mass because of circumstances beyond their control, call the church office at 359-2700 so a Homebound Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion may bring them Communion.

DURANTE la CUARESMA HORARIO DE MISAS MARTES Y JUEVES - 7:30 am y 5:30 pm HORARIO DE CONFESIONES MARTES, MIERCOLES Y JUEVES - 4:15 pm SABADOS - 3 p.m. OPORTUNIDADES PARA ACERCARNOS MAS A DIOS DURANTE LA CUARESMA Domingo 23 de marzo - después de la misa Presentación de Cuaresma ‘LA ALEGRIA DEL EVANGELIO” con Pedro Moreno, Director del Ministerio Hispano de la Arquidiócesis. Gozaremos primeramente de una comida continuando con la presentación. Regístrese y a su familia para que sepamos cuantas personas asistirán a la comida y a la presentación. Tendremos cuidado de niños. Domingo 6 de abril- después de la misa Retiro Cuaresmal para mujeres con la hermana María Elena Gonzalez. Anote estas dos fechas importantes en su calendario Todos los viernes a las 7:00 pm en el Salón Parroquial ~ ¡Los esperamos! ( Cuidado gratis de niños.) Second Sunday of Lent MENSAJE DE NUESTRO PÁRROCO Todos los viernes de Cuaresma tenemos una sencilla comida de cuaresma en el salón parroquial y en seguida el Vía Crucis en la iglesia. Haga planes para asistir y para experimentar la forma de oración tradicional cuaresmal del Vía Crucis. En sus prácticas cuaresmales trate de asistir a Misa a diario y a confesarse. Durante la Cuaresma tenemos dos misas diarias cada semana y aún más oportunidades de confesión en la Capilla de San Agustín. Estamos en la época del año cuando tenemos muchos eventos especiales. En Pascua damos la bienvenida a nuevas personas en la Iglesia. Después de la Pascua tendremos las Primeras Comuniones, Confirmaciones, y graduaciones. Quiero ofrecerles algunas instrucciones para regalos religiosos para estos eventos. Les pido que recordar que ciertos regalos deben tener un carácter específicamente católico. En lugar de simplemente una cruz, es costumbre para nosotros los católicos un crucifijo, que es una cruz con la imagen de Cristo crucificado. Les aconsejo que los crucifijos que ustedes compren tengan la imagen del Señor crucificado. Crucifijos que muestran a Jesús resucitado, o de alguna otra postura, no son imágenes históricas verdaderas (ya que El no resucitó en la cruz). Esto tampoco son expresiones tradicionales de la imagen salvadora de Jesús, quien se sacrificó a sí mismo por nuestra salvación. Cuando se trata de comprar Biblias, los católicos deben asegurarse de poseer y utilizar una edición católica o una traducción católica de la Biblia. Una Biblia católica contiene más libros que las versiones protestantes. La Biblia es un libro católico. Expresa la fe católica que fue compilada y elaborada por la autoridad de la Iglesia Católica, bajo la inspiración del Espíritu Santo. Los católicos deben asegurarse de tener y de usar las ediciones católicas de la Biblia. Si tiene alguna duda, pregunte a sus sacerdotes para pedir consejo. ¡Estamos dispuestos a ayudarle! Los padres de familia deben estar particularmente atentos a proporcionar a sus hijos y familiares propiamente regalos católicos. Estamos bendecidos que este año durante la Vigilia Pascual tendremos 12 bautismos y un poco mas de 30 personas quienes entraran en plena comunión con la Iglesia Católica. Somos sido bendecidos por todo esto, así como por el entusiasmo que genera en cada uno de nuestros niños y jóvenes que tomaran pasos importantes en su vida católica con la Primera Comunión y la Confirmación. ¡Demos gracias a Dios!
