New Pastoral Council for Sacred Heart Church

“I urge you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree in what you say, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and in the same purpose.”

1 Cor 1:10

The sacred scriptures are full of admonitions from God encouraging his people to live and work together in unity. “How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!” says the psalmist (Ps 133:1). At God’s command Moses appointed seventy elders. Later, God said to Moses, “I will take some of the power of the Spirit that is on you and put it on them. They will share the burden of the people with you so that you will not have to carry it alone” (Num 11:16-30). After spending all night praying, Jesus appointed twelve apostles to help with the work of evangelization. This is the essence and tradition of the church – God gathering people together to work in unity for salvation. In keeping that spirit, we have just commissioned a new PASTORAL COUNCIL for the Sacred Heart Church. The purpose of the pastoral council, in the words of Pope Paul VI, is “to examine and consider all that relates to pastoral work and to offer practical conclusions on these matters, so that the life and activity of the People of God can be brought into greater conformity with the Gospel” (Paul VI, Ecclesiae Sanctae I, no. 16). Two heads are always better than one. Thus along with the finance council whose responsibility is to ensure good stewardship, the pastoral council will focus on all things pastoral – the overall spiritual and social life of the parish. They will ensure that Sacred Heart is vibrant, actively engaged with the word of God and growth oriented. The following are the members of the new council:

This council will serve Sacred Heart for three years. So I urge you brothers and sisters to pray for the new council that they may server the parish with humility and generosity of heart. May God who started this noble work in them help bring it to fruition through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Nuevo Concilio Pastoral para la Iglesia del Sagrado Corazón

"Os ruego, hermanos y hermanas, en el nombre de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, que todos nos pongamos de acuerdo en lo que dicen, y que no haya divisiones entre nosotros, sino que estemos

unidos en la misma mente y el mismo Propósito ". 1 Cor 1:10

Las Sagradas Escrituras están llenas de motivaciones de Dios animando a su pueblo a vivir y a trabajar juntos en unidad. "¡Qué bueno y agradable es el pueblo de Dios al vivir juntos en unidad!", Dice el salmista (Sal 133: 1). Por orden de Dios Moisés designó setenta ancianos. Más tarde, Dios le dijo a Moisés: "Tomaré algo del poder del Espíritu que está sobre ti y se lo pondré. Ellos compartirán la carga del pueblo contigo para que no tengas que llevarla solo "(Números 11: 16-30). Después de pasar toda la noche orando, Jesús nombró a doce apóstoles para ayudar con la obra de evangelización. Esta es la esencia y la tradición de la iglesia - Dios reuniendo a la gente para trabajar en unidad para la salvación. Para mantener ese espíritu, acabamos de nombrar a un nuevo CONSEJO PASTORAL para la Iglesia del Sagrado Corazón. El propósito del consejo pastoral, en palabras del Papa Pablo VI, es "examinar y considerar todo lo que se refiere a la pastoral y ofrecer conclusiones prácticas sobre estos asuntos, para que la vida y la actividad del Pueblo de Dios puedan ser llevadas en mayor conformidad con el Evangelio "(Pablo VI, Ecclesiae Sanctae I, nº 16). Dos cabezas siempre son mejores que una. Así, junto con el concilio de finanzas cuya responsabilidad es asegurar una buena administración, el concilio pastoral se concentrará en todo lo pastoral - la vida espiritual y social en general de la parroquia. Ellos asegurarán que la parroquia del Sagrado Corazón sea vibrante, activamente comprometida con la Palabra de Dios y orientada hacia el crecimiento. Los siguientes son los miembros del nuevo concilio:

Este consejo servirá al Sagrado Corazón durante tres años. Así que les ruego a ustedes, hermanos y hermanas, que oren por el nuevo consejo para que sirvan a la parroquia con humildad y generosidad de corazón. Que Dios, que inició esta noble obra en ellos, ayude a llevar a buen término por medio de Cristo nuestro Señor. Amén.

DID YOU KNOW? / ¿SABIA USTED? Speak up with concerns about a child’s environment Hable acerca de sus preocupaciones sobre el entorno de un niño

Parent & caregiver observations can help protect a child in danger, and you should know when it’s important to speak up., Although it may be awkward to approach a parent you do not know, if you have witnessed a scenario where the child is in danger of physical or mental abuse, it is your responsibility to act in that child’s best interest. In addition to reporting concerns, think about any practical solutions that can help keep kids safe pending an investigation & solutions. For a copy of the VIRTUS© article “Voicing Concerns About a Child’s Environment,” email: jvienna@la-archdiocese.org or call 213-637-7227. Las observaciones de los padres y los cuidadores pueden ayudar a proteger a un niño en peligro, y usted debe saber cuándo es importante hablar. Aunque puede ser incómodo acercarse a un padre que no conoce, si ha sido testigo de un escenario donde el niño está en peligro de abuso fìsico o mental, es su responsabilidad actuar en el mejor interés de ese niño. Además de reporter preocupaciones, piense en cualquier solución práctica que pueda ayudar a mantener los niños a salvo en espera de una investigación y solución.

Hate. Hate is a word that has been used pretty regularly in the past year in every single media outlet. A lot of the news has been about the election and the future of our country but has constantly included acts of violence, racism, segregation, hate crimes, the list goes on and on. We live in a world that seems to be fueled by hate in some way seeing how everywhere we turn the word seems to be thrown in our face. Even in our own community at a local high school there has been national coverage about an act of hate through racism, this is unacceptable! This past week in the midst of our regularly scheduled program we took some time to talk about all the hate that is going around as how as Catholics we are called to answer this hate. When all is said and done the answer is simple, to live as Christ lived to best of our abilities. We are called to be Christ like in our words and actions and if we truly can achieve this the world will be a better place.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE

Los retablos de metal son famosos en muchas partes de Latinoamérica. Estos pequeños retablos o laminitas contienen imágenes de Cristo, la Santísima Trinidad, María, los ángeles u otro santo/a pintados sobre lámina, madera u otro material para decorar los altares familiares de los hogares hispanos. Aunque los retablos no siempre siguen las normas del arte cristiano, los retablos latinoamericanos son bellos ejemplos de la mezcla de culturas amerindias, europeas y africanas. Pero no todos los retablos son pequeños. En muchas iglesias coloniales de Latinoamérica se encuentran retablos gigantescos hechos de mármol o madera, cubiertos de oro y joyas que recuerdan los grandes retablos europeos, pero con el color y folclor latinoamericano. Originalmente, los retablos europeos eran pequeños y móviles, de tal manera que se podían colocar sobre un altar para la celebración de la Misa. Cuando la Iglesia fue construyendo sus propios templos, los retablos empezaron a formar parte de la decoración de los santuarios y tomaron dimensiones impresionantes. Los retablos pequeños pasaron a los hogares de los fieles, quienes quieren tener a Cristo y sus santos como parte de su diario vivir.
