One concrete sign of such openness is that our church doors should always be open, so that if someone, moved by the Spirit, come there looking for God, he or she will not find a closed door. There are other doors that should not be closed either. Everyone can share in some way in the life of the Church: everyone can be part of the community, nor should the doors of the sacraments be closed for simply any reason. This is especially true of the sacrament which is itself “the door”: Baptism. The Eucharist, although it is the fullness of sacramental life, is not a prize for the perfect but a powerful medicine and nourishment for the weak. The convictions have pastoral consequences that we are called to consider with prudence and boldness. Frequently, we act as arbiters of grace rather than its facilitators. But the Church is not a tollhouse; it is the house of the Father, where there is a place for everyone, with all their problems.” --His Holiness, Pope Frances, The Joy of the Gospel (Evangelii Gaudium) Our Mission Statement Declaración de Misión "La Iglesia es un hospital de campaña en el escenario de una batalla." --Su Santidad, el Papa Francisco If you haven’t yet made your pledge to the Bishop’s Annual Appeal, it is not too late to contribute to our Diocesan family.

Be on the lookout for more information as we gather numbers and determine interest, in order to make specific plans for the excursion in late October, 2016. Also, the CCW will not meet this summer but will resume meetings in September. MASSTIMES.ORG Planning a summer trip? Check out the website masstimes.org for times and locations of Catholic Masses in the United States and worldwide. Directions are available so that you can find a Catholic church in the area you are visiting. RELIGIOUS EDUCATION REGISTRATION We are currently registering children for Religious Education (grades k - high school) after the 9:30am & 11:45am Masses: $50 per family for the whole year Classes will begin after Labor Day (which is September 5). “GUN CONTROL IS A PRO-LIFE ISSUE” By Fr. James Martin, S.J. “Religious people need to be invited to mediate on the connection between the more traditional ‘life issues’ and the overdue need for stricter gun control. The oft-cited argument, ‘Guns don’t kill people, people do,’ is unconvincing. Of course people kill people; just as people also procure abortions, decide on euthanasia and administer the death penalty. Human beings are agents in these matters. The question is not so much how lives are ended, but how to make it more difficult to end lives. Over the years the government has legislated minute instructions on safety features for automobiles, to increase their safety for the driver, passengers, and others on the road. Surely it is not beyond us to summon up the moral courage to intelligently regulate guns and rifles.” The Reality: Mass shootings have gone from shocking to commonplace: according to the FBI, 160 active-shooter incidents took place between 2000 & 2013, an average of 12 per year. What to Do: If you’re in a building under siege by a gun-wielding maniac, don’t just hide and wait for help, says counter-terrorism and security expert Alon Stivi. Most deaths happen in the first 5 or 10 minutes, before police arrive; Stivi suggests hiding with others next to the door, ready to act together to disarm the shooter as the door opens. --in America (publication of the Jesuits) Les rogamos que no se demoren en hacer su contribución.
