The Fourth Sunday of Lent “The man who was blind from birth proclaimed: The one called Jesus made clay with his saliva, anointed my eyes with it, and told me to wash. When I washed, I was able to see!”
John 9:1-41 [1, 6-9, 13-17, 34-38]
For Christ Forever Pledges All For Christ Forever pledges MUST be
mailed directly to: OCF/FCF P.O. BOX 3860 Seal Beach, CA 90740.
We appreciate your help!
Financial Statements In an effort to save the cost of postage, end of the year tax
statements that are requested will be emailed to you or will be available for pick up in the Reception Office. This
would be a good time to update or add your email contact information. Financial contribution statements for 2016
will be processed only if you have used weekly envelopes. To request a statement, call the office at 949-951-8599 or
email Shirley at [email protected].
Purging Parish Data... In the process of updating our parish database, we plan to make inactive any registered parish family who has not contributed time, talent or treasure within the last five years, January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2016. If you have been inactive but want to remain a parish member, please contact the parish office.
Wills and Bequests Please consider placing Santiago de Compostela Church in your Will so that your legacy might continue through the important works and ministries of the parish. You or your estate planner can contact the Orange Catholic Foundation at https://www.oc-foundation.org for information. Please be sure to stipulate Santiago de Compostela Church in Lake Forest, California!
Why Tithe with Envelopes or ParishPay?
Why is it important to actually use envelopes (or ParishPay) to make your weekly contributions rather than just putting cash into the collection basket? Because somewhere down the line you will probably come to the parish in need of contribution verification, especially for income taxes purposes or to qualify for Catholic Tuition Rates at your child’s Catholic School. We are able to track weekly donations only when our parishioners use their envelopes or utilize electronic fund transfer through ParishPay. Loose cash or checks do not get posted to our database. To have your tithing documented please be sure to use either the envelopes or ParishPay so we may properly record your contribution to the parish. When including a check in the donation envelope, please write your envelope number (which is also your Parish ID number) in the memo line of your check, as well as list the check number on the envelope. Thank you for your assistance and God bless you for your continued generosity.
For these gifts we are grateful:

Professional Eastern European Beggars
Beware! There is an organization of Eastern European Beggars in our area. These people do NOT need your help, In fact, they are very wealthy. These people bring their small children and/or their pregnant wives and have them stand in the hot sun or the cold rain asking for money from people with big hearts. We have been advised to not give them money and avoid any contact with them as they are violent towards anyone who disrupts their “business”. We have also been notified to contact Lake Forest PD . Please help us by not giving them anything, these people do not deserve your compassion.

Fourth Sunday of Lent March 26, 2017
Lenten Regulations.
(Adapted from a directive from the Diocese)
Lent begins this Wednesday, March 1 with Ash Wednesday. Lent offers us the opportunity to prepare for the celebration of Easter. In a particulate way during Lent, we are asked to devote ourselves to the spiritual and corporal works of mercy that remind us that faith finds expression in concrete everyday actions meant to help our neighbors in body and spirit.
1) Everyone 14 years of age and older is bound to abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday, and all Fridays of Lent. If for some serious reason a person must eat meat on one of these days, some other form of self-sacrifice should be performed.
2) Everyone who is at least 18 years of age and not yet 60 is bound to also fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.
a. On these two days of fast only one full meal is allowed. Two other meals, sufficient to maintain strength, may be taken, but together they should not equal another full meal. Eating between meals on these days is not permitted, but liquids are allowed.
b. When health of ability to work would be seriously affected, the law does not oblige.
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
The church slowly developed customs of reserving some portion of the eucharistic sacrifice for the sake of the dying. Today’s custom of placing this portion in a tabernacle for prayer and adoration by the faithful cannot be traced back much beyond the year 1,000, much to almost everyone’s surprise. There is simply no historical evidence of the Blessed Sacrament being present in a church for the purpose of having the faithful visit it or pray before it earlier in the church’s history. People did visit, of course, but the center of their attention was the altar, symbol of Christ’s sacrifice and the touchpoint between heaven and earth. Shrines and devotional altars abounded in medieval churches, but anything we might describe as a Blessed Sacrament chapel would be hard to find.
Amazingly, the Eucharist was first kept in private houses for the purpose of Holy Communion at home. As for church, the custom gradually developed of suspending a vessel shaped like a dove somewhere in the church, often over the altar. In the hovering bird, a few hosts, enough to satisfy the pastoral needs of the dying, would be secreted. The priest would lower the dove on a pulley as needed, but it wasn’t a focus of devotion by visitors to the church. It was simply a way of reassuring bishops who were nervous about safeguarding the Eucharist. The dove solution caught on in England and France after Crusaders came in contact with the custom in their travels in the Orthodox East.

Bible Study This week is the last lesson of “women of the Old
Testament”. We complete the story of Esther. She is a beautiful young Jewish woman who is raised to great power. Initially, she is passive, accepting the instructions and guidance of others,
submitting to whatever is expected of her. The threatened destruction of her people
is the crisis, which brings her to full development. Through her God has once again restored the life of the covenant people. Next week is our Seder Meal and Pot Luck celebration. For Bible Study information, please call
Nancy at 949-766-8126 or Barb at 949-768-1170

If you are 18 years of age or older and have a copy of your Baptismal Certificate come join us in an exciting seven-week program that focuses on the Sacrament of Confirmation, it’s close connection to Baptism and a more intimate understanding of Eucharist.

Registration will be Sunday, April 2nd from 3pm until 6pm. The registration fee is $85 and proof of a catholic Baptism is required. The class meets on Thursday evenings from 7pm until 9pm; however, the first meeting on April 20th will begin at 6pm to accommodate late registrations.

registration.

Sunday At the 8:30am Mass the English Baptized recognized sin exists beyond Baptism and accepted Reconciliation restores our relationship with God. This the Penitential Rite.

Nosotros tenemos la capacidad de verificar las donaciones semanales sólo cuando nuestros feligreses usan sus sobres o utilizan la transferencia electrónica de fondos a través de ParishPay. Para que su diezmo sea documentado a su nombre, asegúrese de usar los sobres o el sistema ParishPay para que podamos registrar apropiadamente su contribución a la parroquia. Cuando incluya un cheque en el sobre de donación, escriba su número de sobre (que es también su número de identificación parroquial) en la línea de nota de su cheque, así como el número de cheque en el sobre.

¿Pecador? o ¿Pescador? Por: Diácono Humberto Ramírez
Jesús vio a Pedro y a Andrés su hermano, echando una red al mar, porque eran pescadores. Y les dijo: Síganme, y yo los haré pescadores de Hombres. Entonces ellos, de-jando al instante las redes, lo siguieron…… (Mateo 4, 19-20). Pedro y su hermano Andrés eran pescadores. Jesús los llamo y los convirtió en pescadores de hombres. Entre la palabra pecador y pescador solo tiene una pequeña le-tra que las hace diferentes; la “s”
Les pregunto: ¿Cuándo Pedro Y Andrés siguieron a Jesús, dejaron de ser pecadores? ¿Nunca más volvieron a pecar? ¡NO! ¡Siguieron siendo humanos y, por lo tanto, siguieron siendo pecadores! Toda la vida, los que somos seguidores de Jesús, somos pescadores y pecadores. A veces pescamos y a veces pe-camos. Lo más importante de todo, es reconocer que te-nemos patitas de barro, y que muy fácil caemos en el pe-cado. ¡Gracias a Dios tenemos el Sacramento de la Peni-tencia! La Cuaresma es un tiempo de arrepentimiento y reconci-liación. Los invito para que el 3 de abril a las 7:00 pm. vengan al Servicio de Reconciliación, aquí en nuestra pa-rroquia y reciban el amor de Dios a través del este hermo-so sacramento del perdón.
¡No faltes! ¡Cristo te espera! ¡Dios les bendiga!
