Monday through Friday: 8:30 AM-3:00 PM

“The devotion of the most holy Rosary is known to have been revealed to Saint Dominic by the divine mother herself, when the saint, being in affliction, bewailed to his Lady the conduct of the Albighensian heretics. The Virgen said to him: ‘This earth will always be barren, until the rain falls on it.’ Saint Dominic was then given to understand that this

rain was to be the devotion of the Rosary.” —- Saint Alphonsus Mary Liguori

The Bible Timeline: The History of Salva on

Beginning on Thursday, October 29 and con nuing on every

Thursday at 7:00 p.m. into the first months of next year (2016)

in the Price Center, we will be offering the most important biblical

course that any Catholic needs: The Bible Timeline, developed by

Jeff Cavins. In this 12-DVD Set (twenty-four, 50-min. sessions), Jeff

Cavins provides expert commentary and unique insights on the

Biblical narra ve. Jeff Cavins is a powerful teacher and makes

what could be complicated, simple to comprehend. “It was great

to know there is a series available that presents such a solid

bibli-cal and scholarly informa on and does so in a highly engaging

and cap va ng way. This was the first me that I have seen that

any Bible study program was able to relate all of the books of the

Old Testament in a clear and coherent system. We all felt that from now on, whenever we

heard an Old Testament reading at Mass, we could easily relate it to the larger picture of

God’s plan of salva on” (Father David Henry). Father Joseph will lead the study. Please

in-form the Parish Office if you intend to a end so as to provide you with more per nent

infor-ma on.

PARISH COUNCIL ELECTIONS

We invite all registered parishioners to submit names of persons who could serve as members of a newly-cons tuted Parish Council. At all the weekend masses beginning next Saturday/Sunday and the one to fol-low, we will be handing out a nomina on ballot (with space to up to four names) in all the weekend masses so as to draw up a list of poten al candidates for publica on on Sunday, November 8. The elec on will take place on November 15. The term of office for the elected members will be at least two years with the possi-bility of a third year of service. Four persons from the Anglo community will be elected, and four from the Hispanic community.

***************************************************************************************** ELECIONES AL CONSEJO PASTORAL

Estamos invitando a los feligreses a someter nombres de personas que pueden servir como miembros del nuevo Consejo Pastoral. Comenzando el sábado/domingo próximo en todas las misas y el fin de semana si-guiente estaremos repar endo papeletas con espacio para escribir los nombres de cuatro personas que sean capaces de servir en esta capacidad. Presentamos la lista de todos los candidatos el 8 de noviembre. La elec-ción tendrá lugar el sábado 14/domingo 15 de noviembre. Se eligirán cuatro perosnas de la comunidad an-gla y cuatro de la comunidad hispana para cons tuir el nuevo Consejo Pastoral.

November 1—All Saints Day (next Sunday) is the day on which Catholics celebrate all the saints, known and

un-known, is a surprisingly old feast. It arose out of the Christian tradition of celebrating the martyrdom of saints on the anni-versary of their martyrdom. When martyrdoms increased during the persecutions of the late Roman Empire, local dio-ceses instituted a common feast day in order to ensure that all martyrs, known and unknown, were properly honored. Despite concerns among some Christians (including some Catholics) in recent years about the "pagan origins” of Hal-loween, the vigil was celebrated from the beginning—long before Irish practices, stripped of their pagan origins (just as the Christmas tree was stripped of similar connotations), were incorporated into popular celebrations of the feast. In Western Christian theology, the day commemorates all those who have attained the beatific vision in Heaven.

********************************************************************************************************** Los católicos estamos de fiesta porque el 1º de

Noviembre (domingo próximo) se celebra a todos los santos. Los santos no son personas diferentes de no-sotros, en todos los tiempos ha habido santos, de diferente edad, unos niños, otros jóvenes, adultos, viejitos, hay santos y hay santas, unos flaquitos, otros gorditos, unos muy inteligentes otros muy sencillos, algunos han nacido muy ricos otros fueron muy

pobres, unos son blancos otros negros, unos han sido santos desde pequeños, otros llevaron una vida en la que no conocían a Dios, y se portaron muy mal, pero cuando se encontraron con Jesús, cambiaron, y de-cidieron ser felices siguiéndolo.

Todos, pero todos, estamos llamados a ser santos, Dios nos quiere santos, y para eso nos dio el Don de la Fe, fue su regalo cuando nos bautizaron, y todos los que estamos bautiza-dos tenemos que ser santos, pero también tenemos que querer serlo. Ser santos es querer seguir a Jesús, actuar como él, hacer el bien como él, amar como él. SER SANTO ES SER AMIGO DE JESÚS.

Los nombres que tenemos muchas veces son los nombres de algún santo o santa, son nuestros patronos, por ejemplo San Carlos, Santa Teresa, Santa Cecilia, San Pedro, San Juan, San Alberto etc.Los santos, o sea los que ya están en el cielo porque vivieron su bau-tismo, a ellos se les venera porque son: Modelo: Porque viendo lo que ellos hicieron para ser amigos de Dios nosotros los podemos imitar. Estímulo: Porque ellos, lucharon como ahora nosotros y ya gozan de la herencia a la que también nosotros estamos llamados.

In-tercesores: Son amigos y hermanos nuestros y grandes bienhechores a quienes

po-demos recurrir suplicándoles que hagan valer su influencia ante Dios en ayuda de nuestras necesidades.
