Ten Tips

for Protecting Chil- dren and Offering Outreach to Victims/Survivors 1. Sexual abuse is about the victim. Many people

are affected by abuse but the individual most impacted is the victim who has suffered a violation of trust that can affect his or her entire life.

2. The residual effects of having been abused can last a lifetime. The sense of violation goes deep into a

person’s psyche and feelings of anger, shame, hurt and betrayal can build long after the abuse has taken place. Those who have been abused can heal, but if often takes time, therapy, and the support of loved ones.

3. No one has the right to have access to children.

No one, no matter who they are, has an automatic right to be around children or young people who are in the care of the Church without proper screening and without following the rules.

4. Common sense is not all that common. Dioces-

es, schools, parishes, and especially families, must educate themselves and others on how to protect chil- dren.

5. Child sexual abuse can be prevented. It is critical

to build safety barriers around children and young peo- ple to keep them from harm—such as protective guardians, codes of conduct, background evaluations, policies and procedures, and safety training programs.

6. Feeling heard leads toward healing. Relief from

hurt and anger often comes when one feels heard, when one’s pain and concerns are taken seriously, and a victim/survivor’s suffering, pain, and anger are acknowledged.

7. You cannot always predict who will be an abus- er. Experience shows that most abuse is committed by

someone who has gained the trust of a victim/survivor and his/ her family.

8. There are behavioral warning signs of child abusers. Some abusers isolate a potential victim by

giving him or her undue attention or lavish gifts, others allow young people to participate in activities which their parents or guardians would not approve, such as watching pornography, drinking alcohol, using drugs, and excessive touching, such as wrestling and tickling.

9. People can be taught to identify grooming be- havior. Grooming behaviors are the actions which

abusers take to project the image that they are kind, generous, caring people, while their intent is to lure a minor into an inappropriate relationship. Offenders can be patient and may groom their victim, his or her fami- ly, or community for years.

10. Background checks are important. Background

checks in churches, schools and other organizations keep predators away from children both because they scare off some predators and because they uncover past actions which should ban an adult from working or volunteering with children.

Diez Consejos

para Proteger a los Niños y Ofrecer Asistencia a las Víctimas / Sobrevi- vientes

1. El abuso sexual es sobre la víctima. Muchas personas son afectadas por el abuso, pero el individuo mas afectado es la victima que ha sufrido una violación de con- fianza que puede afectar toda su vida. 2. Los efectos de haber sido abusado pueden durar toda la vida. El senti- do de violación entra muy profundo en la mentalidad de una persona y los sentimientos de enojo, vergüenza, dolor y traición pueden acumularse mucho después de que el abuso haya ocurrido. Los que han sufrido abusos pueden ser curados, pero aún tomará tiempo, terapia y el apoyo de sus seres queridos.

3. Nadie tiene derecho a tener acceso a niños. Nadie, sin importar quiénes son, tiene el derecho automático de estar alrededor de niños o jóvenes que están bajo el cuidado de la Iglesia sin una evaluación adecuada y sin seguir las reglas.

4. El sentido común no es tan común. Las diócesis, las escuelas, las parroquias, y especialmente las familias, deben educarse ellos mismos y a otras personas sobre cómo proteger a los niños.

5. El abuso sexual infantil puede ser prevenido. Es fun- damental construir barreras de seguridad alrededor de los niños y los jóvenes para protegerlos del peligro. Es impor- tante tener tutores para proteger a menores, al igual el uso de códigos de conducta, las evaluaciones de antecedentes, las pólizas y los procedimientos, y los programas de entrenamiento sobre la seguridad.

6. Sentir que le están escuchando conduce a la cura- ción. El alivio del dolor y el enojo llega cuando se sienten escuchados, cuando el dolor y las preocupaciones se toman en serio, y el sufrimiento, el dolor, y el enojo de una víctima / sobreviviente son reconocidos.

7. No siempre se puede predecir quién será un abusa- dor. La experiencia demuestra que la mayoría de los abu- sos son cometidos por alguien que se ha ganado la con- fianza de una víctima / sobreviviente y su familia.

8. Hay señales de advertencia de comportamiento en abusadores de niños. Algunos abusadores aíslan a una víctima potencial prestándole mucha atención o regalos lujosos, otros permiten que los jóvenes participen en actividades que sus padres o tutores no aprobarían, como ver pornografía, beber alcohol, usar drogas, y tocar en exceso, como actividades físicas y cosquillas.

9. A las personas se les puede enseñar a identificar el comportamiento de aseo. Los comportamientos de aseo son acciones que los abusadores toman para proyectar un imagen que son amables, generosos, gente cariñosa, mientras que su intención es atraer a un menor de edad en un relación inapropiado. Los ofensores pueden ser pa- cientes, y usar estas acciones con la victima, sus familias, o comunidad durante años.

10. Las verificaciones de antecedentes son importan- tes. La verificación de antecedentes en iglesias, escuelas y otras organizaciones mantiene a los depredadores aleja- dos de los niños, por que los asustan y porque también descubren acciones pasadas que deberían prohibir que un adulto de trabajar o ser voluntario con niños.

GOSPEL MEDITATION - ENCOURAGE DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF SCRIPTURE May 1, 2022

3rd Sunday of Easter

Could it be that God’s image has become so soiled and distorted that it is hard for us to see it? Our self-serving agendas have done a great job twisting God’s image into what profits us. We want our agenda to be God’s agenda and use prayer as the convincing leverage we need. Worse still, our success and egocentric agenda often erases God’s image completely, re- placing it with our own. St. Oscar Romero instructs us that the Son of Man “dies on the cross to cleanse God’s image, which is soiled in today’s humanity, a humanity so enslaved, so selfish, so sinful.” Striving to preserve control of our destinies at all costs, we fail to see the risen suffering servant, the Christ, standing right beside us.

Jesus, who suffered and died on a cross and was raised from the dead, corrects our soiled image of God. He shows us God as God is, not who we want to make God to be. God is the God of the

poor, the weak, and the marginalized. He is the God who tenderly caresses us when we are suffering and hurting, assuring us that all will be safe and well. He is the God of equity, peace, justice, and compassion who wants happiness for each of His children, desiring their wellbeing and success. God goes where men and women are afraid to go, sitting with the lost, the broken, and the sorrowing. St. Oscar Romero challenges us to illuminate with “Christ’s light … even the most hideous cav- erns of the human person: torture, jail, plunder, want, chronic illness. The oppressed must be saved.” The resurrection calls us to be God’s microphone, a messenger, and a prophet (St. Oscar Romero).

Using eyes that see beyond the limited constructs and desires of our world, we can see the true and real Jesus standing before us, calling us to transfor- mation and change. Asking us more than once, “do you love me?” We are beckoned to give an answer. Answering in the affirmative, it is now our task to feed the sheep and the lambs who belong to God. In short, equipped with the power of the resurrection and a corrected image of God our task is to make things better, brighter, holier, more life-giving, and just for all of God’s chil- dren. Considering our choices, our interactions, our philosophies, and aspira- tions, how can we do this?

dsumus, Sancte Spiritus

Prayer of invocation to the Holy Spirit for an ecclesial assembly of governance or discernment (thus synodal)

Every session of the Second Vatican Council began with the pray- er Adsumus Sancte Spiritus, the first word of the Latin original meaning, “We stand before You, Holy Spirit,” which has been his- torically used at Councils, Synods and other Church gatherings for hundreds of years, being attributed to Saint Isidore of Seville (c. 560 - 4 April 636). As we are called to embrace this synodal path of the Synod 2021-2023, this prayer invites the Holy Spirit to operate within us so that we may be a community and a people of grace. For the Synod 2021-2023, we propose to use this simplified version, so that any group or liturgical assembly can pray more easily.

We stand before You, Holy Spirit, as we gather together in Your name. With You alone to guide us, make Yourself at home in our hearts; Teach us the way we must go and how we are to pursue it.

We are weak and sinful; do not let us promote disorder. Do not let ignorance lead us down the wrong path nor partiality influence our actions. Let us find in You our unity so that we may journey

together to eternal life and not stray from the way of truth and what is right. All this we ask of You, who are at work in every place and time, in the communion of the Father and the Son, for-

ever and ever. Amen.

Title revised from Latin, to have a proper incipit, different from the Adsumus Dominus Sancte Spiritus. The Caeremoniale Episco- porum 1984ss., n. 1173, only proposes the use of the Adsumus but does not give the text. The German version Das Zeremoniale für die Bischöfe, n. 1188, gives a German translation based on the Latin text of the Acta Synodalia of the Council, vol. I/1, p. 159.

Adsumus, Sancte Spiritus

Oración de invocación al Espíritu Santo para una asamblea eclesial de gobierno o discernimiento (es decir, sinodal) Cada sesión del Concilio Vaticano II comenzó con la oración Adsumus Sancte Spiritus, las primeras palabras del original latino que significan: "Estamos ante ti, Espíritu Santo", que se ha utilizado históricamente en Concilios, Sínodos y otras reuniones de la Iglesia durante cientos de años, siendo atribuida a San Isidoro de Sevilla (c. 560 - 4 de abril de 636). Al ser llamados a abrazar este camino sinodal del Sínodo 2021-2023, esta oración invita al Espíritu Santo a actuar en nosotros para que seamos una comunidad y un pueblo de gracia. Para el Sínodo 2021-2023, proponemos utilizar esta versión simplificada, para que cualquier grupo o asamblea litúrgica pueda rezarla más fácilmente.

Estamos ante ti, Espíritu Santo, reunidos en tu nombre. Tú que eres nuestro verdadero consejero: ven a nosotros, apóyanos, entra en nuestros corazones. Enséñanos el camino,

muéstranos cómo alcanzar la meta. Impide que perdamos el rumbo como personas débiles y pecadoras. No permitas que la ignorancia nos lleve por falsos caminos. Concédenos el don del discernimiento, para que no dejemos que nuestras acciones se guíen por perjuicios y falsas consideraciones. Condúcenos a la unidad en ti, para que no nos desviemos del camino de la verdad y la justicia, sino que en nuestro peregrinaje terrenal nos esforzemos por alcanzar la vida eterna. Esto te lo pedimos a ti, que obras en todo tiempo y lugar, en comunión con el Padre y el Hijo por los siglos de los siglos. Amén.

Título revisado del latín, para tener su propio incipit, diferente de Adsumus Dominus Sancte Spiritus. El Caeremoniale Episcoporum 1984ss., n. 1173, propone sólo el uso de Adsumus pero no da el texto.

Queridos hermanos y hermanas en Cristo,

Oro para que ustedes y sus familias

estén bien durante este tiempo. Al comenzar el Año Nuevo, también es hora de que comencemos nuestra Campaña diocesana de Corresponsabilidad Católica (CSA, por sus siglas en inglés) para 2022. Nuestro tema de CSA para 2022 es Viajando Juntos: La Diócesis en Misión, basado en un tema del Sínodo en Sinodalidad.

Cada año, el CSA sirve como un llamado renovado para que todos vivamos y practiquemos la corresponsabilidad basada en la fe, y nos da la oportunidad, como diócesis y como parroquia, de compartir la luz de Cristo siendo buenos corresponsables con lo que hemos recibido. San Pedro nos recuerda: "Cada uno según el don que ha recibido, aprovéchalo para servirte unos a otros como buenos administradores de la multiforme gracia de Dios" (1 P 4, 10).

La Campaña de Corresponsabilidad Catolica (CSA) ayuda a apoyar la función y la misión de nuestra Diócesis Católica de Las Vegas y nuestra parroquia local de San Pedro Apóstol. La misión de nuestra diócesis y parroquia, es la misión de Jesucristo. Todos y cada uno de nosotros estamos llamados a compartir esa misión.

Su generosidad ayudará a nuestra diócesis de maneras tales como: evangelización, educación católica y

formación, apoyo y promoción de vocaciones, ayuda a los pobres y enfermos, solo por nombrar algunos. Además, cualquier cantidad recibida por encima de nuestra evaluación diocesana volverá a nuestra parroquia de San Pedro Apóstol para ayudarnos a funcionar y seguir siendo una comunidad fiel activa.

Al comenzar nuestra Campaña de Corresponsabilidad Católica (CSA) para 2022, lo invito a prometer con oración y generosidad prometan lo que pueda pagar para

ayudarnos a alcanzar nuestra meta parroquial de

$115,000. Nuestra parroquia debe pagar $111,263 a la Diócesis de Las Vegas CSA 2022. Cualquier monto recibido superior a $111,263 se devuelve a nuestra parroquia. Es por eso que nuestra meta parroquial para CSA 2022 es de $115,000, por lo que esperamos recibir un reembolso para San Pedro Apóstol.

En estos tiempos difíciles, demos gracias a Dios por la fe que se nos ha dado y nuestra disposición, incluso en los momentos difíciles, para fortalecernos unos a otros en la fe. Que nuestra invitación a participar en el llamamiento CSA 2022 sea recibida con una respuesta generosa.

Sinceramente suyo en Cristo,

Padre Samuel Pastor

"Todo lo que hagáis, hacedlo de corazón, como para el Señor y no para los demás, sabiendo que recibiréis del Señor como herencia; sed siervos de Cristo el Señor" (Col 3, 23-24).

January 16, 2022

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

I pray that you and your families are well during this time. As we have begun the New Year, it is also time that we start our diocesan Catholic Stewardship Appeal (CSA) for 2022. Our CSA theme for 2022

is Journeying Together--The Diocese in Mis-

sion, based on a theme from the Synod in Synodality.

Each year, the CSA serves as a renewed call for all of us to live and practice faith-based stewardship, and it gives us an opportunity, as a diocese and as a parish, to share the light of Christ by being good stewards with what we have received. Saint Peter reminds us, "As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God's varied grace" (1 Pt 4:10).

The Catholic Stewardship Appeal (CSA) helps support the function and mission of our Catholic Diocese of Las Vegas and our home parish of St. Peter the Apostle.

The mission of our diocese and parish, is the mission of Jesus Christ. Each and every one of us is called to share in that mission.

Your generosity will help our diocese in such ways as in: evangelization, catholic education, and formation, supporting and promoting of vocations, helping the poor and the sick, just to name a few. Also, any amount received over our diocesan assessment will come back to our home parish of St. Peter the Apostle to help us to function and remain an active faithful community.

As we start our Catholic Stewardship Appeal (CSA) for 2022, I would invite you to prayerfully and generously pledge what you can afford to help us reach our parish goal of $115,000. Our parish must pay $111,263 to the Diocese of Las Vegas CSA 2022. Any amount received over $111,263 is rebated back to our parish.

This is why our parish goal for CSA 2022 is $115,000, so we may hopefully receive a rebate back to St. Peter the Apostle.

In these challenging times, let us thank God for the faith we have been given and our willingness, even in difficult moments, to strengthen one another in faith. May our invitation to participate in the CSA 2022 appeal be met with a generous response.

Sincerely yours in Christ, Fr. Samuel

Pastor

"Whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to others, knowing that you will receive an inher- itance from the Lord; be servants of Christ the Lord" (Col 3, 23-24).

Queridos hermanos y hermanas en Cristo,

En nuestra parroquia de San Pedro Apóstol, tenemos muchas personas sin hogar que se congregan en nuestra propiedad parroquial y piden dinero. Es posible que los haya visto después de misa con carteles pidiendo dinero. Muchos de ellos sufren de enfermedades mentales, abuso de alcohol, abuso de sustancias o una combinación de los tres.

Los feligreses con corazones generosos a veces dan dinero a las personas sin hogar en nuestra propiedad y sus alrededores, pero esto tiene consecuencias no deseadas. A menudo, la gente usa este dinero para comprar drogas y alcohol. Dejan su basura y agujas usadas en la propiedad de la parroquia. Incluso defecan y orinan en los terrenos de la parroquia. Los encontramos durmiendo en las bancas, en los baños y en la propiedad de la parroquia. Han hecho desorden en los baños y tapado los inodoros. Hay momentos en que el personal no puede despertarlos porque están intoxicados y desmayados. Hemos tenido que llamar al 911 varias veces para ayudar a lidiar con estas situaciones a veces peligrosas.

En una noticia reciente en nuestro Canal 3 de noticias local, https://

youtu.be/PdCmR0lGY1I, los representantes del Ejército de Salvación y Caridades Católicas recomiendan que las personas no den directamente a las personas sin hogar en las calles. (Esto también se aplica a las personas sin hogar que piden dinero en la propiedad de nuestra iglesia). Dicen que dar dinero, alimentos o bienes a las personas sin hogar directamente en las calles puede estar causando más daño que bien. Dar dinero directamente a las personas sin hogar puede impedirles obtener los servicios y programas que necesitan.

Los representantes del Ejército de Salvación y Caridades Católicas recomiendan que los donantes bien intencionados, cuyo corazón está en el lugar correcto, redirijan su generosidad a aquellos lugares que conectan a las personas sin hogar con los servicios y programas que pueden ayudarlos a lidiar con sus situaciones específicas.

Pido que los feligreses de San Pedro Apóstol no entreguen directamente a las personas sin hogar en nuestra propiedad dinero o bienes. Hay muchas oportunidades en nuestras parroquias para redirigir su generosidad para ayudar a los pobres y las personas sin hogar. Puede colocar donaciones en la caja de ofrendas para pobres ubicada en la parte posterior de la iglesia junto a la estatua y las reliquias de San Pedro. También tenemos una colecta trimestral para Outreach. El dinero recaudado por estas colectas se envía a Caridades Católicas que tiene muchos servicios y programas para ayudar a los pobres y desamparados. También enviamos dinero de estas colectas al St. Therese Center que tiene un banco de alimentos, Living Grace Home que brinda servicios a mujeres embarazadas sin hogar, el refugio para personas sin hogar Shade Tree para mujeres y niños maltratados, y al Centro de recursos para mujeres y embarazo First Choice. centros de crisis.

Otras oportunidades para ayudar a los pobres y a las personas sin hogar son contribuir a la CSA, la apelación de la Administración Católica, ya que parte de este dinero se destina a Caridades Católicas y al Centro St. Therese, y nuestra colecta del Jueves Santo también se destinará al St. Vincent Lied Dining. Instalación en Caridades Católicas. Nuestra colecta del Miércoles de Ceniza también se destina a Caridades Católicas.

Gracias por su cooperación y generoso apoyo.

En Cristo, Padre Samuel

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

At our parish of St. Peter the Apostle, we have many homeless people that congregate on our parish property and ask for mon- ey. You may have seen them after Mass holding signs asking for money. Many of them suffer from mental illness, alcohol abuse, substance abuse, or a combination of the three.

Parishioners with generous hearts sometimes give money to the homeless on our property and the surrounding area, but this has unintended consequences. Often people use this money to buy drugs and alcohol. They leave their trash and used needles on parish property. They even defecate and urinate on parish grounds. We find them sleeping in the pews, in the bathrooms, and on parish property. They have made messes in the bath- rooms and plugged-up the toilets. There are times when staff cannot wake them up because they are passed-out intoxicated.

We have had to call 911 numerous times to help deal with these sometimes dangerous situations.

In a recent news story on our local Channel 3 News, https://

youtu.be/PdCmR0lGY1I, representatives from the Salvation Army and Catholic Charities both recommend that people do not di- rectly give to the homeless on the streets. (This also applies to the homeless asking for money on our church property). They say that giving the homeless money, food, or goods directly on the streets may be causing more harm than good. Giving money to homeless directly can hamper them from getting the services and programs that they need.

Representatives from the Salvation Army and Catholic Charities recommend that well intended givers, whose hearts are in the right place, redirect their generosity to those places that connect the homeless to the services and programs that can help them deal with their specific situations.

I ask that parishioners at St. Peter the Apostle not directly give homeless on our property money or goods. There are many opportunities in our parishes to redirect your generosity to help the poor and homeless. You can place donations in the poor offering box located in the back of the church by the statue and relics of St. Peter. We also have a quarterly collection for Out- reach. The money taken by these collections are sent to Catholic Charites which has many services and programs to help the poor and homeless. We also send money from these collections to the St. Therese Center that has a food bank, Living Grace Home that provides services to homeless pregnant women, the Shade Tree homeless shelter for battered women and children, and to Women’s Resource Center and First Choice pregnancy crisis centers.

Other opportunities to help the poor and homeless are to contrib- ute to the CSA, Catholic Stewardship appeal, as some of this money goes to support Catholic Charities and St. Therese Cen- ter, and our Holy Thursday collection will also go to the St. Vin- cent Lied Dining Facility at Catholic Charities. Our Ash Wednes- day collection also goes to Catholic Charities.

Thank you for your cooperation and generous support.

In Christ, Fr. Samuel
