Silvia Isassy, Secretary 424-1959 Patty Atwood, Secretary 424-1959 Jacque Rodriguez 772-8230 Communications Coordinator Bulletin Editor E-Mail: [email protected] Dear friends,

I'm down with my sisters helping take care of mom. It's so hard to see parents go through decline.... After that I have a few days with my best friend from school, then up to St. Patrick's seminary for formation. I'm sure not going to be around much my last weeks in our parish.

Here are some things to bring to your attention.

1) This weekend we start announcing Landings, a process that offers "a safe harbor for returning Catholics ... through welcoming, listening and sharing" for eight Tuesdays (7 PM) in the Parish Annex (14 Stone St.) Landings has done wonders for so many. If you have a friend or family member who might like to find a way back to our Church, tell them about this process. Contact person: Gerald Nolan, 424-5448.

2) Congratulations to our wonderful ... and huge ... group of Confirmation kids, who received the sacrament from our bishop Saturday at 2:30 PM. Our town is truly blessed!

3) Next Sunday is Pentecost, the great birthday of our Church. If you re-member, try to wear something red to weekend services.

I hope you will be patient with me these next weeks. I will be a mess ... because of mom and because of my rapidly approaching departure. And ... of course ... pray that the wonderful new pastor the bishop is sending, Fr. Ignacio Martinez, receives a warm welcome and everyone's full cooperation.

Peace and All Good!

Queridos amigos:

Estoy con mis hermanas ayudando a cuidar a mi mamá. Es muy difícil ver a los pa-dres pasar por un decaimiento .... Después de estar unos días con mi mejor amigo escolar, continuare al seminario de San Patricio para la formación. Estoy seguro que no voy a estar mucho más durante mis últimas semanas en nuestra parroquia. Aquí están algunas cosas para llamar su atención.

1) Este fin de semana empezamos anunciando Landings (desembarcos), un proceso que ofrece "un hospedaje seguro para el regreso de católicos ausentes ... a través de una bienvenida, música y compartimiento" durante ocho martes (7 PM) en el anexo de la Parroquia (14 Stone Streett) Los Landings (desembarcos) han hecho maravillas para muchos. Si usted tiene un amigo o familiar que les gustaría encon-trar un camino de regreso a nuestra Iglesia, favor de decirles acerca de este proceso. Persona de contacto: Gerardo Nolan, 424-5448.

2) Felicidades a nuestro maravilloso ... y enorme ... grupo de jóvenes de confirmación, que recibieron el sacramento de nuestro obispo el sábado a las 2:30 PM. ¡Nuestra ciudad esta verdaderamente bendicida!

3) El próximo domingo es día de Pentecostés, el gran cumpleaños de nues-tra Iglesia. Si usted recuerda, nues-trate de usar algo rojo a los servicios del fin de semana. Espero que tengan paciencia conmigo estas próximas semanas. Estaré un desastre ... debido a mi mamá y por mi partida que se acerca rápidamente. Y ... por supuesto ... Oro para que el nuevo pastor maravilloso que el obispo ha enviado, Padre Ignacio Martínez, que reciba una cálida bienvenida y la cooperación de todo mundo

.

¡Paz y todo bien!

MY BODY, MY TEMPLE ... MI CUERPO, MI TEMPLO

“Beloved, I hope you are in good

health—may you thrive in all

other ways as you do in the

spirit.”

3 John: 2

Did you know that eating plenty of fruits and

vegetables will help to provide good health for

you and your family, will give you more

en-ergy, and will lower the risk of serious chronic

diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, high

blood pressure, and obesity?

But, how can we buy more fruits and

vegeta-bles when we are on a tight budget? A very

good approach is to buy the fruits and

vegeta-bles that are in season. They cost less and are

at their best in flavor.

BEST AVAILABILITY

ALL YEAR:

cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, garlic,

lettuce, onions, radish, spinach

SPRING:

artichokes, asparagus, celery, fava

beans, peas, strawberries,

SUMMER:

apricots, cherries, figs, melons,

nectar-ines, peaches, summer squash, tomatoes

FALL:

grapefruit, kumquats, lemons, oranges,

pears, bell peppers

WINTER:

kiwi, mandarins, oranges, pomelos,

tangerines, winter squash

A thrifty way to supplement the fresh fruits and

vegetables is to stock up on frozen vegetables

on sale, and to buy canned fruits packed in

100% fruit juice.

It is possible to be healthy and to stay within

our budget at the same time. This year’s

sum-mer season begins on June 21, 2011.

God Bless & Stay Healthy!

“Amado, mi oración es que tú

seas prosperado en todas

las cosas, y que tengas salud,

así como prospera tu alma.”

3 Juan: 2

¿Sabía Ud. que al comer mas frutas y verduras

nos ayudan a mantener la buena salud propia y

la de nuestra familia, nos proveen con mas

en-ergía, y reducen el riesgo de enfermedades

crónicas, como la diabetes, enfermedades

car-diovasculares, la alta presión, y la obesidad?

¿Pero, como podemos comprar mas frutas y

verduras cuando el dinero está estrecho? Una

buena manera es el comprar las frutas y

verdu-ras en su temporada del aňo. Salen mas

bara-tas entonces, y su sabor es mas rico.

TIEMPO DE MAS DISPONIBILIDAD

TODO EL AŇO:

col, zanahorias, coliflor, ajo,

lechuga, cebolla, rábano, espinacas

PRIMAVERA:

alcachafas, espárragos, apio,

habas, chícharos, fresas

VERANO:

cerezas, higos, melón,

nectari-nas, duraznos, calabaza de verano, tomates

OTOŇO:

toronjas, limones, naranjas,

peras,

INVIERNO:

kiwis, mandarinas, naranjas,

calabaza de invierno

Otra manera economica de suplementar las

frutas y verduras frescas es comprando

verdu-ras congeladas cuando están a precio

re-ducido, y comprando fruta enlatada en 100%

de su propio jugo.

Sí es possible atender a la buena salud y

man-tener nuestro presupuesto al mismo tiempo.

Este aňo el verano empieza el 21 de Junio.

іQue Dios le Bendiga y

Manténgase Saludable!

Appropriate items include personal hygiene items for men and women, individual-sized packages of cereal, hard candies (no chocolate - it will melt!), nuts, chips, as well as tea, hot chocolate and coffee bags. The timing of the care package is meant to coincide with our Fourth of July festivities. As we know, today’s military personnel continue to safeguard the American tradition of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness that is richly identified and valued as the American way of life.
