Dear parishioners,
The emphasis we give to prayer and penance during Lent has the special purpose of moving us into a deeper participation in the life of the Church. The special acts of holiness appropriate to Lent open our eyes to see the many opportunities to work together to advance the mission of our parish and open our hearts to generous and loving understanding of one another. There are many opportunities to par- ticipate in the various ministries of our parish, which are organized into groups of prayer, study and service. Please scan the section of the bulletin, which lists the various ministries and reflect upon which area you feel called to participation. For example, you may reserve a time for Eucharistic Adoration in the Chapel or volunteer as a catechist or helper in Religious Education or join the Society of St.
Vincent de Paul, which helps the poor. In this way, our prayers and acts of penance will bear fruit in the work of holiness!
Your Pastor, Father David.
Queridos feligreses,
El énfasis que le demos a la oración y a la penitencia durante la Cu- aresma, tiene el propósito especial de movernos hacia una participación más profunda en la vida de la Iglesia. Los actos especiales de santidad, apropiados para la Cuaresma, nos abren los ojos para ver las numerosas oportunidades de trabajar juntos para avanzar la misión de nuestra par- roquia y abrir nuestros corazones a la generosa y amorosa comprensión de los otros. Hay muchas oportunidades para participar en los distintos ministerios de nuestra parroquia, los cuales están organizan por grupos de: oración, estudio y servicio. Por favor revise la sección del boletín, que enumera los distintos ministerios y reflexione sobre el área a la cual se siente llamado(a) a participar. Por ejemplo, puede reservar un tiempo para la Adoración Eucarística en la Capilla, o apúntese como voluntario o catequista en Educación Religiosa, o únase a la Sociedad de San Vicente de Paúl, cual ayuda a los pobres. De esta manera, ¡nuestras oraciones y nuestros actos de penitencia darán fruto en las obras hacia la santidad!
Su Párroco, Padre David.

Third Sunday of Lent
We experience at the depth of our being a deep hunger and thirst for the living God. We are in- vited to know that need, but not to despair as our ancestors did in the des- ert. God does feed and nourish us. God does quench our thirst, if we let ourselves be open to God’s transforming love. Like the Samaritan woman we are called to be open to the waters of
life given to us in Christ. Like her we are called to be agents of God’s transforma- tive love in our world. Who in our lives needs us to be an agent of God’s love for them? What in our world is in need of God’s action and transformation?
Marzo 18-19
Tercer Domingo de Cuaresma
Experimentamos en la profundidad de nuestro ser un hambre profunda y una sed por el Dios viviente. Estamos in- vitados a conocer esa necesidad, pero a no de- sesperar como nuestros ancestros lo hicieron en el desierto. Dios nos alimenta y nos nutre.
Dios satisface nuestra sed si nos abrimos al amor transformante de Dios.
Como la Samaritana, es- tamos llamado a estar abiertos a las aguas de vida que nos da Cristo. Como ella, estamos llamados a ser agentes del amor transformante de Dios en nuestro mundo
¿Quiénes en nuestras vidas necesitan que seamos agentes del amor de Dios para el- los? ¿Qué en nuestro mundo necesita la acción y transformación de Dios?

Our Lady of Fatima Statue
2017 is the Centenary of the Apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary at Fatima in Portugal. On May 13, 1917, Our Lady appeared to three children: Francisco, Jacinta and Lucia. Her messages which continued until October 13, 1917 focused on the Call to Holiness especially repentance and praying the Rosary.
One of the highlights of the apparitions was the visitation by an Angel who said, “Do not be afraid. I am the angel of peace. Pray with me.” Then, the Angel gave them a prayer, “My God, I believe, I adore, I hope and I love you. I ask pardon for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope and do not love you.”
Our parish church is blessed with a statue of Our Lady of Fatima, which was brought from the original church building. The statue is now in the process of restoration and will be completed before May 13.
La estatua de Nuestra Señora de Fátima
Este año, 2017, es el centenario de la aparición de la Santísima Virgen María en Fátima en Portu- gal. El 13 de mayo, 1917 nuestra Señora se les apareció a tres niños: Francisco, Jacinta y Lucía.
Sus mensajes cuales continuaron hasta el 13 de octubre de 1917 se centraron en el Llamado a la Santidad, especialmente en el arrepentimiento y rezando el Rosario.
Uno de los aspectos más destacados de las apariciones fue la visitación de un Ángel que dijo: “No tengan miedo. Yo soy el ángel de la paz. Oren conmigo.” Luego, el Ángel les dio una oración, “Dios mío, yo creo, yo te adoro, tengo esperanza y te amo. Te pido perdón por aquellos sin esperanza, que no creen, no adoran y no te aman”.
Nuestra parroquia ha sido bendecida con una estatua de Nuestra Señora de Fátima, que fue traída del edificio de la iglesia original. La estatua ahora está en el proceso de restauración y será terminada antes del 13 de mayo.
