PARISH INFORMATION Tenth Sunday In Ordinary Time Half the liturgical year 2016 is completed after six months of extraordinary celebrations. The Incarnation mystery: Jesus’ advent, nativity, epiphany. The Paschal mystery: Jesus’ passion, death, resurrection, Pentecost’s Holy Spirit. The solemnities of Holy Trinity and Jesus’ Body and Blood. Today the Church resumes Sundays in Ordinary Time, but with a Gospel of extraordinary mercy: Jesus raises a dead man to life. Yet the one who benefits most from his extraordinary mercy is not the dead son but his widowed mother. With her husband and only son deceased, this woman’s material support, in that patriarchal society, had vanished. So had her emotional support, leaving her helpless, abandoned, on society’s “peripheries.” One of Pope Francis’ hopes in calling this Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy is to transform us into more extraordinary Christians, by making our caring outreach to just such vulnerable people, and our practical self-sacrificing love for them, our ordinary, daily, Christian way of life! —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J.

¡Gracias a todos!

Décimo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario Ya llegamos a la mitad del Año Litúrgico 2016 llenos de celebraciones extraordinarias. El misterio de la Encarnación: el Adviento, la Navidad y la Epifanía de Jesús. El misterio Pascual: la Pasión, Muerte y Resurrección de Jesús, el Pentecostés del Espíritu Santo. Las Solemnidades de la Santísima Trinidad y del Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo. Hoy la Iglesia regresa a lo que se llama Domingos del Tiempo Ordinario, pero con un Evangelio de extraordinaria misericordia: Jesús revive a un hombre que estaba muerto; sin embargo, quien más se beneficia de su extraordinaria misericordia no es el hombre muerto sino su madre viuda. Con su esposo muerto y su único hijo fallecido y en una sociedad patriarcal no hay quien se encargue de la manutención de esta mujer. Así que su apoyo emocional, la deja indefensa, abandonada en la “periferia” de la sociedad. Una de las esperanzas del Papa Francisco al convocar este Año Jubilar de la Misericordia es transformarnos en cr is t ianos extraordinarios, haciendo que nuestra atención llegue a las personas más vulnerables con nuestro amor generoso por ellos, ¡nuestra forma de vida cristiana ordinaria, diaria! . —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J.

Get On The Bus - Father’s Day “Uniting children with their mothers and fathers in prison”

Dear St. Dominic Savio Parish community, On Saturday, May 14th, it was our parish “Get On The Bus” Father’s Day event trip and the destination was CMC (California Men's Colony) State Prison. It was a wonderful experience and joy filled trip for the children and their families. It started with the gathering of the families in our church hall at 3:00 a.m. After all paperwork and dress policies were confirmed, and at 4:00 a.m., the families were presented with a light meal bag prepared and provided by our St. Dominic Savio, Grupo De Oración, as the families boarded the bus. The bus headed off and made a stop in Los Angeles (at St. Vincent de Paul Church) to pick up additional families, which were also presented with a light meal bag. At 5:00 a.m. our bus rolled out and we started our trip to CMC at San Luis Obispo. The bus made a quick stop at a McDonald’s in Santa Barbara to picked up breakfast meals for all the travelers on board, thanks to the generosity of our St. Dominic Savio School Principal; Sr. Marie and all her students for contributing funds to purchase all the breakfast meals. A total of 9 buses participated, coming from different parts of the state to CMC. By 10 a.m., all the children were processed and inside the prison, reunited with their incarcerated dads. Words cannot give justice to the excitement, joy and love that filled the meeting room. Sergio, one of the residents working the event (not with family) said, “On regular visits, very few children come, it is mostly couples.” Sergio was happy to see so many children there and he shared that the noise level was also higher than normal due to the joy of children’s voices. At the end of the visit and as each bus number was called to leave, the joyful noises lessened and sad goodbyes were now obvious around the room. However, this was a very short time in respect to the length of their visit, which was about 4 hours. All the families and the residents visited were VERY grateful for the opportunity that Get On The Bus, its donors and the volunteers provided them, to make this “Father's Day” event possible. As the buses departed CMC, each went to a nearby location where the children were received with a small reception. Our reception was at a Jewish Temple hall, where there was an ice cream sundae bar with their volunteers serving the families. Each child also received a framed printed picture taken of their families during their visit inside CMC. After about an hour in the reception and when it was time to leave, the families were presented with a “travel home” bag that included a meal for the way home (deli made sandwiches, chips, one fruit & a cookie), and supplies for the children to stay connected with their dad. On the road home and while the bus was rolling, each child’s name was called out and was called to the front of the bus and presented with a love letter from their dad, along with a teddy bear. Hours later, stops in L.A. and Bellflower were made to drop-off the respective families. The children and their family now tired from a very long day and loaded with gifts, were very appreciative to all that helped make their day memorable. The St. Dominic Savio, Get On The Bus Committee, can’t thank you (the parish community) enough, for your generous contributions to help so many children, see, touch and hug their dad in prison - one set of siblings (20 & 17 years of age), had not visited their father, in 15 years!!! Our St. Dominic Savio trip volunteers got home very tired from a very long day but they knew it was worth every minute, and grateful to be part of the children’s lifetime memories. Humbly and lovingly serving the Lord, The St. Dominic Savio, Get On The Bus Committee

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Unless Professor Einstein’s theory of relativity can be translated into any useful kind of time-travel, most of our clues about life in the early church will have to come from ancient letters and ancient prayer texts. A prayer text from a dusty library may yield, for example, an understanding of what “presbyters” actually did. We have such a prayer from the early third century from the hand of Hippolytus of Rome. While our modern prayers derive a great deal from his, some of the practices of the ancient church have fallen away. In his day, bishops were chosen by the people, and the other bishops merely consented. Presbyters, by contrast, seem to have been chosen by the bishops. This makes sense, since it allowed the bishops to hand-pick their most trusted advisers. It seems that bishops were at first reluctant to share their presiding at the Eucharist with presbyters. In fact, by the time of the fourth-century church’s growth spurt in Rome, the bishop sent deacons out with fragments of the host from his Eucharist to drop into the chalices of the presbyters at the outlying eucharistic celebrations. We still have a vestige of this fermentum in the Mass today, a reminder of the early bishops’ desire to give a powerful sign of the unity of all celebrations of the Eucharist with their ministry, and a clue to their reluctance to delegate a sacramental ministry to the presbyters. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Súbete al Autobús – Día del Padre “Uniendo niños con sus mamás y papás en prisión”

Querida comunidad de la Parroquia Santo Domingo Savio, El Sábado 14 de Mayo, fue el viaje de nuestro evento del Día del Padre “Súbete al Autobús” y el destino fue a la prisión Estatal CMC (California Men's Colony). Fue una experiencia maravillosa y un viaje lleno de alegría para los niños y sus familias. Empezó con el recibimiento de las familias en el salón Parroquial desde las 3:00am. Después de que todo el papeleo y las pólizas de vestido fueron confirmados, alrededor de las 4:00am, al momento de subir al autobús a las familias, se les proveyó con una bolsa con un ligero almuerzo preparado por el Grupo De Oración de Santo Domingo Savio. El autobús se dirigió hacia Los Angeles y se hizo una parada en la Iglesia de San Vicente de Paul para recoger más familias, las cuales también se les ofreció una bolsa con un almuerzo ligero. A las 5:00am nuestro autobús se dirigió a rumbo a CMC en San Luis Obispo. El autobús hizo una parada corta en Santa Barbara para recoger en McDonald’s desayuno para cada uno de los viajeros en el autobús, gracias a la generosidad de Sor Marie, Directora de la Escuela de Santo Domingo Savio y la de todos sus estudiantes que contribuyeron monetariamente. Un total de 9 Autobuses participaron, llegando de diferentes partes del Estado a CMC. Para las10:00am, todos los niños ya fueron procesados y admitidos en la prisión, reunidos con sus papas encarcelados Las Palabras no pueden hacer justicia a la emoción, alegría y amor que llenó el salón de reuniones. Sergio, uno de los residentes trabajando para el evento (no con familia) dijo, "En visitas regulares, muy poco niños vienen, más que todo son parejas." Sergio estaba feliz de ver muchos niños aquí y también compartió que el nivel de ruido también era más alto del normal debido a las voces de alegría de los niños. Al final de la visita y a la vez que cada número de autobús era llamado para partir, las voces alegres disminuyeron y despedidas tristes eran ahora obvias en el salón. De cualquier manera, esto fue un lapso de tiempo corto con respecto al tiempo de la visita, la cual fue alrededor de 4 horas. Todas las familias y todos los residentes visitados estuvieron MUY agradecidos por la oportunidad que “Súbete al Autobús”, sus donadores y los voluntarios proporcionaron, para hacer posible el evento del "Día del Padre.” Cuando los autobuses salieron de CMC, cada uno fue a un lugar cercano donde los niños fueron recibidos con una pequeña recepción. Nuestra recepción fue en el salón de un Templo Judío, donde había un bar de nieve con sus voluntarios sirviendo a las familias. Cada niño también recibió un cuadro con una foto de su familia tomada durante su visita dentro de CMC. Después de una hora en la recepción y cuando ya era hora de partir, se les dio a las familias una "bolsa de viaje a casa" que incluía una comida para el viaje a casa (sándwiches, chips, una fruta & una galleta), y material para que los niños permanezcan unidos con sus papás. En el camino de regreso a casa y mientras el autobús caminaba, cada niño fue llamado al frente del autobús y se le entrego una carta de amor de su papá junto con un osito de peluche. Horas más tarde, se hicieron paradas en L.A. y Bellflower para dejar a las familias. Los niños y sus familias, ahora cansados de un día muy largo y cargados de regalos, estaban muy agradecidos a todos los que ayudaron a hacer su día memorable. El Comité de “Súbete al Autobús” de Santo Domingo Savio, no puede dar las suficientes gracias a la comunidad parroquial, por sus contribuciones generosas y ayudar a tantos niños, a ver, tocar y abrazar a sus papás en prisión – un par de hermanos (20 & 17 años de edad), no habían visitado a su papá en 15 años!!! Nuestros voluntarios llegaron a casa muy cansados de un día bien largo, pero ellos sabían que valió la pena cada minuto y agradecidos por ser parte de un recuerdo en la vida de los niños. Sirviendo al Señor Humildemente y con amor, El comité “Súbete al Autobús” de Santo. Domingo Savio

Did You Know? Praise is just as important as providing food and shelter for a child. Praise is an important aspect of raising a confident child. When you praise a child, not only do you raise their self-esteem and self-concept but you increase their overall self-worth. One thing you can do is focus on the child and describe what you see. For example, you can say: “You are so pa ent. That means a lot to your li le brother.” For more ps on praising children please email jvienna@la-archdiocese.org or call (213) 637-7227.

Elevación de la autoes ma a través de elogios Los elogios son tan importantes para un niño, así como lo es la comida y el albergue. El elogio es un aspecto importante para criar a un niño seguro de sí mismo. Cuando se elogia a un niño, no sólo se eleva su autoes ma y autoconcepto, sino que se aumenta su autovaloración en general. Una cosa que se puede hacer es enfocarse en el niño y describir lo que ve. Por ejemplo, usted puede decir, “Tú eres tan paciente. Eso significa mucho para tu hermanito”. Para más consejos sobre elogios a los niños, por favor enviar un correo electrónico a jvienna@la-archdiocese.org o llame al (213) 637-7227.
