Pastor’s Corner

Can you imagine the former St.

Joseph Church on southside packed with people? It was standing room only. There were two bishops and over 25 priests concelebrating the inaugural mass and blessing of the Divine Mercy Healing Center. The combined ceremonies and presentations extended over 3 hours. The Church is now being used by a congregation known as the Vincentians who originate from Kerela, India. They are part of the Syro-Malabar rite of the Catholic Church. Their specific ministry is the Divine Mercy Healing Center. They provide days of reflection and retreats in English, Spanish and Malayalam (India). Preaching the word of God, they continue the mission to help people encounter the living God in Jesus Christ. More information can be found on http://divinenj.org We pray that their presence will enrich our Church and our community with the healing power of God.

I would like to congratulate Mr. Michael Seksinsky and Mr. Jason Horn. Our parish council had two open positions and two candidates. Therefore, we did not need to have an election this year. Thank you for your willingness to serve the parish. We look forward to your participation in the parish council.

Lastly, I don’t want to forget our mothers. Happy Mothers’ Day today. Thank you for your dedication and commitment to your children (no matter their age �). However, this day can be painful for some who have lost their mothers or those who have a difficult relationship with their mother. This day we pray for our mothers – living and deceased. May the Lord bless them and give them peace!

“If God so loved us, we also must love one another… Yet, if we love one another, God remains in us, and his love is brought to perfection in us.” Have a great week! Fr. Keith

Notas del Pastor

¿Te imaginas que la ex Iglesia de San

José en llena de gente? Solo estaban de pie. Hubo dos obispos y más de 25 sacerdotes para concelebrar la misa inaugural y la bendición del Divine Mercy Healing Center. Las ceremonias y presentaciones combinadas fueron durante 3 horas. La Iglesia ahora está siendo utilizada por una congregación conocida como los Vicentinos que se originan en Kerela, India. Son parte del rito Sirio-Malabar de la Iglesia Católica. Su ministerio específico es el Divine Mercy Healing Center. Ofrecen días de reflexión y retiros en inglés, español y malayalam (India). Predicando la palabra de Dios, continúan la misión de ayudar a las personas a encontrar al Dios viviente en Jesucristo. Puede ver más información en http://divinenj.org Oramos para que su presencia enriquezca nuestra Iglesia y nuestra comunidad con el poder sanador de Dios. Me gustaría felicitar al Sr. Michael Seksinsky y al Sr. Jason Horn. Nuestro consejo parroquial tenía dos puestos vacantes y dos candidatos. Por lo tanto, no necesitamos tener una elección este año. Gracias por su buena voluntad de servir a la parroquia. Esperamos su participación en el consejo parroquial. Por último, no quiero olvidar a nuestras madres. Feliz día de las madres hoy. Gracias por su dedicación y compromiso con sus hijos (sin importar su edad �). Sin embargo, este día puede ser doloroso para algunos que han perdido a sus madres o para aquellos que tienen una relación difícil con su madre. Este día oramos por nuestras madres, que viven y han fallecido. ¡Que el Señor las bendiga y les dé paz! "Si Dios nos amó tanto, también debemos amarnos unos a otros ... Sin embargo, si nos amamos unos a otros, Dios permanece en nosotros, y su amor se lleva a la perfección en nosotros". ¡Que tengan una buena semana! P. Keith

Every child is taught the Our Father, the Hail Mary and the Glory Be when they are young. But the

Church has a treasury of prayers from her tradition. Each month we would like to highlight a specific prayer and invite you to pray it each day or even to memorize it where it will be secure within

your memory.

Prayer For the month of May Memorare

Remember, O most

gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy

protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left

unaided.

Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee,

O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of

the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and

answer me.

Amen.

A cada niño se le enseña el Padrenuestro, el Avemaría y la Gloria cuando son pequeños. Pero la Iglesia tiene

un tesoro de oraciones de su tradición. Cada mes quisiéramos resaltar una oración específica e invitarlo a orarla todos los días o incluso a memorizarla en un

lugar seguro dentro de su memoria.

Oración por el mes de mayo Memorare

Acordaos, oh piadosísima Virgen María!,

que jamás se ha oído decir que ninguno de los que han

acudido a vuestra protección, implorando tu auxilio, haya

sido desamparado.

Animado por esta confianza, a Vos acudo, Madre, Virgen de

la vírgenes, y gimiendo bajo el peso de mis

pecados me atrevo a comparecer ante

Vos. Madre de Dios, no desechéis

mis súplicas, antes bien, escuchadlas y acogedlas benignamente.

Amén.
