Mass Intentions

Mass intentions request will only be taken in the office a week in advance if space is available. Only one

intention per Mass. Please submit the request in the office.

GRACE IS EVERYWHERE Grace is everywhere. People of faith act on this belief. As Chris ans we are called to reach deeply into ourselves and find God’s presence there. We are called to reach outside ourselves and find God there, too. The reality of grace has sustained and nourished people beyond numbering. The church never res of telling the story of the loaves and fishes. It is narrated no less than six mes in the four Gospels. We imagine the hesitant apostles reaching into the baskets and finding bread, always more bread. We an cipate the ending. The apostles will wear out before the bread runs out. At another me and place, Isaiah also spoke of an abundance, this me of water, sweet honey, and rich milk. Always, always God is a gi -giver, and we the receivers. Our response is doxology, or praise. In the second reading Paul provides the words and a tude. Praise is everywhere. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

LA GRACIA ESTÁ EN TODAS PARTES La gracia está en todas partes. La gente de fe actúa según esa creencia. Los cris anos estamos llamados a buscar dentro de lo más profundo de nuestro ser para encontrar la presencia de Dios allí. Estamos llamados también a buscar afuera de nosotros para encontrarlo allí también. La realidad de la gracia ha sostenido y alimentado a la gente por encima de todo. La Iglesia nunca se cansa de contar la historia de los panes y los pescados. Se cuenta seis veces en los cuatro evangelios. Nos podemos imaginar a los dudosos Apóstoles me endo la mano en las canastas y encontrando pan y más pan. An cipamos el final. Los Apóstoles se cansaron antes de que se acabara el pan. En otro empo y lugar, Isaías también habló de una abundancia, esta vez de agua, miel y rica leche. Dios siempre es un dador de dones y nosotros los beneficiarios. Nuestra respuesta es la doxología o alabanza. En la segunda lectura Pablo proporciona las palabras y la ac tud. La alabanza está en todas partes. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

DID YOU KNOW? Summertime, safe time All teachers, staff and volunteers in the Archdiocese must under-go fingerprinting and criminal background checks. Archdiocesan guidelines and abuse prevention training programs currently in use in the Archdiocese emphasize the importance of parents knowing who has access to their children at school and other church-sponsored activities. Summertime is here, and parents should remain vigilant regarding who is granted access to their children. Make sure camp counselors have undergone criminal background checks. And, make sure you know the camp’s “daily routine.” In particular, make sure that no camp activity results in a child being left alone with one adult. All activities should be supervised by more than one adult, and the camp should be open to unannounced drop-in visits from parents. For more infor-mation email: Dn. Jaime Abrera, Fingerprint Department, DnJAbrera@la-archdiocese.org

¿SABÍA USTED? Tiempo de verano, tiempo seguro Todos los maestros, empleados y voluntarios de la Arquidióce-sis deben someterse a verificación de antecedentes penales y huellas digitales. Actualmente las normas de la Arquidiócesis y los programas de entrenamiento en la prevención del abuso ponen énfasis en la importancia de que los padres deben saber quién tiene acceso a sus hijos en la escuela y cuando participen en actividades patrocinadas por la Iglesia. El verano ya está aquí y los padres deben mantenerse vigilantes con respecto a quien tiene acceso a sus hijos. Asegúrese de que los consejeros del campamento hayan sido sometidos a una verificación de antecedentes penales. Y, asegúrese de saber cuál es la “rutina diaria” del campamento. En particular, asegúrese de que ninguna actividad del campamento resulte en que ningún niño se quede a solas con un adulto. Todas las actividades deben ser supervisadas por más de un adulto y el campamento debe estar abierto a que los padres visiten el campamento sin previo aviso. Para más información, escriba a: Dn. Jaime Abrera, Fingerprint Department, DnJAbrera@la-archdiocese.org
