NEW PROCEDURES - Second Collection Our Sunday Liturgies are central to our life as a Parish Family. Having said so, we try our very best to make the Eucharist flow and have the least distractions as possible. This has always been the direction the Roman Rubrics remind us to implement.

I have presided the Liturgy over the last three years here at our parish. During my time here, I have observed the second collection causes distraction by having the baskets being passed around during the Liturgy of the Eucharist especially at the Consecration. This situation prevents both the Presider and the congregation from focusing fully on the mystery unfolding in our presence.

Having the basket passed around defeats the purpose behind second collection an encouragement into being more engaged in our solidarity with the beneficiaries in need of our support. It becomes an afterthought instead of a purposeful giving.

In an effort to address this liturgical concern and to promote intentional charity, we shall be having a new procedure for the Second Collection which has been approved by the Finance Council and agreed upon in the meeting of the Hospitality Ministers. The procedure is; the basket will only be passed once for both Sunday Offertory and Second Collection donation to be placed. All checks need the beneficiary written on the memo portion.

Our diligent money counters will make sure that they are separated and submitted to the Diocese for remittance to the beneficiary. I thank you for being understanding and for your cooperation regarding the enhancement of our Sunday Masses and Liturgies.

God bless and take care.

JMJ 27 August 2017

My Dearest Parish Family, God be with us always. We are almost at the “official end of summer,” and we are also winding up with our summer activities. We have had our last Altar Servers Training, the two Workshops of our Music Ministry and the two meetings of our Hospitality Ministers. Our Hospitality Ministers are the unsung heroes of our Liturgical Celebrations especially during the Eucharist. Allow me to express on behalf of our parish family our gratitude and appreciation for your ministry. Thank you also to the Knights of Columbus for the Burger Bash and Ice Cream Social. It was indeed a night of fellowship and enjoyment with the simple yet delicious meal. This coming weekend we have the opportunity to spend time with the Lord during our overnight Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. As we enter into the last quarter of 2017, we would like to commence it with a significant experience for spiritual growth thru “RECHARGE!” our Parish Mission on September 9th beginning with the Mass at 5:00 pm, Dinner in the Hall then back to the Church for the Presentation by Patrick Coffin. Please do take sometime so we can together be . . .RECHARGED!” I do hope that by this time you have already received your envelope that has my letter and the tickets for our opportunity drawing during the Festival de Santiago. May I humbly request that we all try our very best to sell the tickets so we can get the full potential of this fund-raising activity. This will help us provide funds for the other necessary maintenance projects for our facilities and the Church. May I ,however, continue to remind you that we still need your generous support for the Sunday Offertory that cover our operating expenses. Thank you very

much for giving from your heart. Jesus asks us in the Gospel who do we say He is in our lives. The response that matter not so much in mere words and pronouncements but in our commitment to be true disciples and stewards of the gifts we have been given faith, time, talents, treasures and love. When we take charge of the gifts we have been given we provide a living testimony of who Jesus Christ is in our lives. People see the “Jesus Difference.” God bless and take care. Love and prayers,

Fr. Thomas JMJ 27 de agosto de 2017 Mi querida familia parroquial, ¡Qué Dios esté con nosotros siempre! Estamos casi al “final del verano", y estamos concluyendo con nuestras actividades para esta temporada. Hemos tenido nuestro último entrenamiento de Servidores del Altar, los dos talleres para el Ministerio de Música y las dos reuniones con nuestros ministros de hospitalidad. Los Ministros de Hospitalidad, son los héroes anónimos de nuestras celebraciones litúrgicas, especialmente en la Eucaristía. Permítanme expresar en nombre de toda la familia parroquial nuestra gratitud y aprecio por su ministerio. Gracias también a los Caballeros de Colón por el “Burger Bash” y la fiesta de helados. De hecho, fue una noche de compañerismo y de poder disfrutar con

una comida simple pero deliciosa. Este fin de semana tenemos la oportunidad de pasar tiempo con el Señor durante la noche de adoración al Santísimo Sacramento. Al entrar en el último trimestre del 2017, nos gustaría comenzar con una experiencia significativa para el crecimiento espiritual, a través del retiro llamado “Recarga”, nuestra misión de parroquia el 9 de septiembre, comenzando con la misa de 5:00pm, cena en el salón parroquial y luego la presentación de Patrick Coffin. ¡Tomémonos el tiempo para que juntos podamos... “RECARGARNOS”! Espero que para esta fecha ya hayan recibido su sobre que tiene mi carta y los boletos para nuestro sorteo de oportunidad durante el Festival de Santiago. Permítanme solicitarles humildemente que todos procuremos vender los boletos, para que podamos conseguir todo el objetivo de esta actividad de recaudación de fondos. Ésto nos ayudará a proporcionar fondos para los proyectos de mantenimiento necesario para nuestras instalaciones y la iglesia. Puedo, sin embargo, recordarles que todavía necesitamos su ayuda generosa para el ofertorio de los domingos que cubrirá nuestros gastos de operación. Muchas gracias por dar de su corazón. Jesús nos pregunta en el Evangelio quien decimos que es Él en nuestras vidas. La respuesta que importa, no es tanto en meras palabras y declaraciones, sino en nuestro compromiso para ser verdaderos discípulos y administradores de los dones que se nos han dado: fe, tiempo, talentos, tesoros y el amor. Cuando hacemos uso de los regalos que se nos han dado, damos testimonio de quien es Jesucristo en nuestras vidas. La gente puede ver la "Diferencia de tener a Jesús". Dios los bendiga y cuide. Con Amor y mis oraciones,

Fr. Thomas

RCIA/RCIA Registration As the Church liturgical year trends to study and reflection, we, the Santiago faith community, once again prepare for those who seek knowledge and information about our Catholic Christian tradition.

The process of welcome and education in the Catholic Christian tradition is called the Order of the Catechumenate. The Order of the Catechumenate dates to the days immediately after the death of Christ.

It’s a process whereby unbaptized and those baptized in another Christian tradition come to know, understand and embrace the Catholic faith. Many know and recognize this process as the RCIA program (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults). Are you aware we also have an adapted RCIA program for unbaptized children grades 1 through 12? We offer the adult process in either English or Spanish and the Children’s process is bi-lingual.

Registration forms for Adults and Children are available in the Parish Office or through the parish web site www.sdccatholic.org, select bulletins and forms and follow the instructions.

Call the Office of Catechumenate for additional information 949-951-8599 ext. 231

14 y 15 de OCTUBRE BOLETOS PARA LA RIFA

Los boletos de la rifa para nuestro Festival fueron enviados por correo la semana pasada. Pedimos de su colaboración a participar en nuestro festival bien sea comprando sus boletos o vendiéndolos a un amigo, un miembro de su familia, un compañero de trabajo, etc. para que nuestro evento sea un éxito. Si está interesado en obtener boletos adicionales o aún no ha recibido el suyo, comuníquese con nuestra Oficina Parroquial al 949-9518599.

¿QUÉ ES LO QUE HACES CON MAYOR FECUENCIA? ¿ATAR O DESATAR?

Comencemos por decir que, con atar, me refiero a NO perdonar y con desatar quiero hablarles de perdonar.

Si tienes un resentimiento o rencor contra alguien y no lo puedes perdonar, entonces tu tienes atado a esta persona espiritualmente a ti. ¡Existen personas que le han guardado rencor a alguien por 20, 30, 40 años y más!

Recuerdo cuando era niño yo veía a dos de mis hermanos diferente uno del otro, uno era bueno y el otro era malo. Uno me maltrataba y el otro me protegía y me defendía del otro.

Por muchos años guardé resentimiento en mi corazón contra este hermano “malo” por todas las veces que me golpeó enfrente de mis amigos. Pasaron los años y pensé “que había olvidado” todo el resentimiento. Crecimos, me casé, y ya de adultos, me di cuenta que cada vez que este hermano se me acercaba, y jugando me daba un golpecito en el brazo, sentía que me llenaba de enojo contar él. Me di cuenta que cada vez que ese “golpecito” me hacía recordar aquellos momentos de mi infancia.

Como no quería guardar ningún rencor en mi corazón contra este hermano decidí buscar perdonarlo. Un día me levanté muy temprano a hacer mi oración. Le pedí al Espíritu Santo que me ayudara a ir a aquellos momentos cuando mi hermano me golpeaba.

Durante mi oración, cuando menos acordé me vi de niño llorando con mucho enojo contra mi hermano, tal vez tendría 9 a 10 años.

Cuando me vi llorando y lleno de enojo, Jesús se me acercó y me preguntó: ¿qué te pasa? Le contesté: estoy muy enojado con mi hermano por todos los maltratos. Jesús me dijo: Yo sé lo que te pasa, ¿sabes por qué? Porque también yo fui golpeado y maltratado. Por eso vine al mundo, para el perdón de los pecadores.

Ese día, después del encuentro con Jesús a través de mi oración, pude perdonar a mi hermano. ¡Se me quitó todo resentimiento y enojo contra él! ¿Y sabes qué? ¡FUI LIBRE! ¡Ese día mi hermano fue desatado y también yo! Pregunta de reflexión: ¿A quién necesito perdonar para ser una persona libre? ¡Dios te bendiga!

Diácono Humberto Ramirez

NUEVOS PROCEDIMIENTOS-2ª Colecta Nuestras liturgias dominicales son fundamentales para nuestra vida como Familia Parroquial. Habiendo dicho esto, hacemos todo lo posible por hacer fluir la Eucaristía y tener la menor distracción posible. Esta ha sido siempre la dirección que las Rúbricas Romanas nos recuerdan implementar.

He presidido la Liturgia durante los últimos tres años aquí en nuestra parroquia. Durante mi estancia aquí, he observado que la segunda colecta causa distracción al hacer pasar las canastas durante la “Liturgia de la Eucaristía”, especialmente durante la Consagración. Esta situación impide que tanto el Oficiante como la congregación se enfoquen plena-mente en el Misterio que se desarrolla en nuestra presencia.

El pasar la canasta desvía el propósito detrás de la segunda colecta , el cual es un estímulo para estar más comprometido en nuestra solidaridad con los beneficiarios que necesitan nuestro apoyo. Se convierte en una reflexión tardía en lugar de un don deliberado.

En un esfuerzo por dirigir esta preocupación litúrgica y promover la caridad intencional, tendremos un nuevo procedimiento para la Segunda Colecta que ha sido aprobado por el Consejo de Finanzas y acordado en la reunión de los Ministros de Hospitalidad.

El procedimiento es; la canasta sólo pasará una vez para colocar el donativo del domingo y la donación de la segunda colecta. Todos los cheques necesitan que el beneficiario esté escrito en la porción del memorándum.

Nuestros diligentes contadores de dinero se asegurarán de que estén separados y sometidos a la Diócesis para su remesa al beneficiario. Les agradezco su comprensión y su cooperación con respecto a la mejoría de nuestras Misas y Liturgias dominicales.

Dios los bendiga y cuide.

AVISO IMPORTANTE Por favor tenga en cuenta que el Rev. Saúl Ayala, un sacerdote jubilado de la Diócesis de

San Bernardino, visitó la Iglesia Santa Ana (Santa Ana) y presentó una tarjeta de visita personal al clero y a los feligreses ofreciendo su ministerio sacerdotal y para celebrar Misas en sus hogares. En general, las misas en casas no están permitidas por la política diocesana y necesitarían la aprobación del obispo Kevin Vann caso por caso. La diócesis de San Bernardino confirmó que el reverendo Saúl Ayala es un sacerdote jubilado, pero no tiene permiso ni facultades para ofrecer ministerio en ninguna parte. Está violando los términos de su estatus y posición con la Diócesis de San Bernardino. El Rev. Saúl Ayala no tiene ninguna facultad sacerdotal en la Diócesis de Orange. Dado que el Rev. Saúl Ayala nunca se puso en contacto con el Obispo para presentarse, nos notifica de su posible residencia aquí, o presenta sus credenciales y legítimamente solicita facultades sacerdotales a través del canal apropiado, consideramos al Rev. Saúl Ayala persona non grata en la Diócesis de Orange. De ninguna manera nadie en nuestras parroquias le permitirá hacer ningún ministerio sacerdotal en la Diócesis de Orange. Esta es una foto más antigua del Rev. Saúl Ayala que está en permiso administrativo de la Diócesis de San Bernardino. Le agradecemos su diligencia en ayudar a mantener ambientes seguros en nuestras parroquias. Suyo en Cristo, Rev. Daniel B. Reader Director del Personal de los Sacerdotes
