Dear Parishioners of St. Matthew,
Since 2009 I have had the blessing and the joy of being your cantor and music director. During these wonderful 8 years I have grown as a person and I have found in you so many beautiful and meaningful relationships that will be with me for the rest of my life. As you know, my professional career as opera singer has also gained strength. I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Music at FAU last month and now I have been accepted into the Vocal Master’s program at the Univer-sity of North Carolina in Greensboro. This is a tremendous opportunity for me to gain the education and performance experience required to succeed in an academic field. That has been my professional goal for many years. Charles and I will be relocating to Greensboro, NC on August 1st. I’m certain that you will welcome the new cantor and give him/her the support you have given me.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the love and support you have giv-en me throughout these past 8 years. Please know that St. Matthew Catholic Church will always be my spiritual home and that you will be in my heart and my prayers always.
With much love and appreciation,
Dora

Queridos Feligreses de San Mateo,
Desde el 2009 he tenido la dicha y la bendición de ser su Cantor y Director Musical. En estos ocho años he crecido como persona y he encontrado en ustedes lazos de amistad que me acompañarán por siempre! Como se han enterado, mi carrera profesional como cantante de opera también ha avanzado. Acabo de graduarme de la Florida Atlantic Uni-versity y he sido admitida para el programa de Maestría en la Universidad de Carolina del Norte en Greensboro. Esta es una gran oportunidad para mi, para recibir la educación y la experiencia necesarias para avanzar en el campo académico. Esta ha sido mi meta por varios años. Charles y yo nos mudaremos a Greensboro, NC el 1 de Agosto. Estoy se-gura que recibirán al nuevo Cantor con brazos abiertos y que le brindarán el apoyo que me han dado a mi.
Les agradezco de todo corazón por el cariño y el apoyo constante que me han mani-festado en estos ocho años. Sepan que San Mateo será siempre mi hogar espiritual y que ustedes estarán siempre en mi corazón y en mis oraciones.
Con profundo cariño y agradecimiento,
Dora

DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION
Thank you to all who have already generously responded to this year’s ABCD.

“For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.” - MATTHEW 11:30
When we think of our call to be good stewards, and His request to generously share our me, talent
and treasure, we may consider that God is asking too much of us. However, we need to remind
our-selves that we are not “owners” of anything, we are merely “stewards” of the gi s God has given
us. All He is asking is that we share with Him a small por on of what He has already given to us.

"Porque mi yugo es fácil, y mi carga ligera." - MATEO 11:30
Cuando pensamos en ser buenos administradores, podemos pensar que Dios nos está pidiendo
dema-siado cuando nos llama a compar r generosamente nuestro empo, talento y tesoro. Sin embargo,
debemos recordar que no somos "dueños" de nada, simplemente somos "administradores" de los
dones que Dios nos ha dado. Todo lo que Él está pidiendo es que compartamos una pequeña
por-ción de lo que Él ya nos ha dado.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
The premier poet of the English language, Geoffrey Chaucer, introduced one of his most be-loved characters, the “Wife of Bath,” by this tell-ing remark: “Husbands at church door she had five.” Four times widowed, she was setting off on a pilgrimage, notably without number five. The church door is a curious detail, pointing to the fourteenth-century wedding custom of marrying on the porch of the parish church. The goal was to give maximum publicity to the consent of the groom and bride, and so consent was moved from the bride’s home to a public venue. The priest would stand in the doorway and begin by sprin-kling the couple with holy water. He needed to make sure they weren’t too closely related and give them some instruction. He would direct the groom to pay the bride’s family a dowry, and then announce the monetary amounts to the interested passersby. Only then would the guests enter the church for the wedding Mass, during which the bride and groom would hold lighted candles. The gradual move from home to church and the shift from the bride’s father to the priest’s authority helped to protect the freedom of brides who were-n’t quite as confident as the Wife of Bath.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
En el año 2001, Carlos Manuel Rodríguez San-tiago se convirtió en el primer laico caribeño beati-ficado por la Iglesia. Su vida fue ejemplar en la caridad y en el amor a la liturgia, pues promovió la participación de los fieles de una manera activa, mucho antes de que el Concilio Vaticano II así lo pidiera. En 1963 una colitis rectal muy severa lo llevó a los brazos de Cristo resucitado, a la edad de 44 años.
Carlitos, como muchos lo llaman, trabajó en la Universidad de Puerto Rico y fundó un grupo apostólico laical en el Centro Católico de dicha universidad. Allí pudo obrar por el desarrollo del humanismo cristiano, la participación activa de los laicos en la liturgia de la Iglesia y por la renova-ción de la Vigilia Pascual. Solía decir que los cris-tianos “vivimos para esa noche” como cumbre y centro de nuestra fe.
Carlitos es modelo para los laicos comprometi-dos con su fe. Él insistía no sólo en una participa-ción activa en la pastoral de la Iglesia, sino tam-bién en la liturgia de la Iglesia en una época donde la Misa todavía se consideraba obra exclusiva de los sacerdotes.
