THIS WEEK AT OLV DECEMBER 13, 2016

Parent Letter 12/13/16

On

Faith Corner † Our Lady of Guadalupe

December 12

Our Lady of Guadalupe had

this to say to Juan Diego:

"Know for certain, least of

my sons, that I am the perfect

and perpetual Virgin Mary,

Mother of the True God

through whom everything

lives, the Lord of all things

near and far, the Master of

heaven and earth. It is my

earnest wish that a temple be

built here to my honor. Here I

will demonstrate, I will

exhibit, I will give all my

love, my compassion, my

help and my protection to the

people. I am your merciful

mother, the merciful mother

of all of you who live united

in this land, and of all

mankind, of all those who

love me, of those who cry to

me, of those who seek me, of

those who have confidence in

me. Here I will hear their

weeping, their sorrow, and

will remedy and alleviate all

their multiple sufferings,

necessities and misfortunes."

Celebraremos Las Posadas en el Salón Hayes

comenzando el viernes 16 y terminando el 24

de diciembre. Las posadas serán patrocinadas

por varios groups de nuestra Parroquia.

TODOS SON CORDIALMENTE INVITADOS A

PARTICIPAR

¿QUÉ SON “LAS POSADAS”?

La palabra “posadas” significa alojamiento. Las

Posadas son una tradición que celebra la historia de

José y María buscando un lugar en Belén donde

Maria pudiera dar a luz a su Hijo Jesús.

Durante nueve días, niños representando a José

y María van de casa en casa pidiendo alojamiento

Los acompañan otros niños con velas y usualmente

vestidos de pastores o ángeles. Al fin de cada

posada, los niños quiebran una piñata y tienen una

gran fiesta.

La piñata original era una estrella de siete picos.

Cada pico representa uno de los siete pecados

capitales que los niños tratan de “matar” cuando

están quebrando la piñata.

We will celebrate “Las Posadas” in Hayes Hall

from Friday, December 16th to Saturday,

December 24th. Each evening will be

sponsored by various groups from our Parish.

ALL ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO

PARTICIPATE

WHAT IS “LAS POSADAS”

The word “posadas” means inns or lodging. It is

a tradition which celebrates the story of Joseph and

Mary looking for a place in Bethlehem where Mary

could give birth to Jesus.

For nine days, children representing Joseph and

Mary go from house to house asking for a place to

stay. They are followed by other children carrying

candles, usually dressed as shepherds or angels. At

the end of each posada, children break a piñata and

have a big celebration.

The original piñata is a seven-point star. Each

point represents one of the seven capital sins, which

children are trying “to kill” as they try to break the

piñata.

Necesitamos dulces para las Posadas. Favor de traer dulces pequeños con envoltura para darse como aguinaldos a los niños que participen en las Posadas. Habrá una caja de cartón en el vestíbulo para que los depositen. Muchas gracias. We need candies for the Posadas. Please bring small wrapped candies to be given as “aguinaldos” (bag of goodies) to children who participate in the Posadas. There will be a box in the vestibule to deposit the candies. Thank you very much.
