Welcome/¡Bienvenidos!

Sixth Sunday of Easter May 21, 2017

The people of Samaria come to worship the Lord and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. It is this same Spirit who leads us into the truth. In the body, Jesus was put to death; in the Spirit, He was

raised to life. We are called to this same glory.

On May 13, 2017, twenty-two children made their First Holy Communion. Please join in praying that the Eucharist may always be at the

center of each of their lives.

Pipe Organ Console Replacement Campaign

St. Mary Catholic Church needs to raise $23,500 for the replacement of our worn-out 90-year-old pipe organ console. Members of the St. Mary’s Knights of Columbus Council 1430 have already contributed $10,000; we need you, the parishioners, to donate the remaining $13,500. Time is of the essence to start and complete the project in August while the choir is on hiatus. Please send your tax-deductible donations to the Parish Office or drop them in the regular Sunday collection basket. Checks should be made out to St. Mary Catholic Church, with the notation “pipe organ” on the memo line, or cash can be placed in an envelope clearly marked “pipe organ.” Many thanks for your generous support for this worthy project!

Hawaiian Lu’au Dinner

The Knights of Columbus, in conjunction with St. Mary Parish, are hosting a Hawaiian Lu’au Dinner on Friday evening, June 2, 2017, from 5:30 pm to 9:00 pm in the Parish Courtyard and Center. Bring the whole family for an awesome time! Traditional Roasted Pig with all the trimmings, live Hawaiian Dancers and Entertainment. $25 for adults, $8 for kids 6-17, and age 5 and under eat free! Contact Marc Langley with Knights of Columbus at 541-953-8309 courtesyd@comcast.net for tickets and information. Funds will be used to support St. Mary parish.

Christmas Flowers

This Christmas, the church will again be adorned with many poinsettias and wreaths. If you would like to sponsor Christmas flowers, please pick up an envelope at the entrance of the Church. Return your envelope in the collection basket or to the Church office before December 22. Be sure to clearly fill out the front of the envelope with the name and circle the “in memory (deceased)” or “honor of (living)”. The names will be listed in the bulletin at the end of the month. Suggested donation: $25

He will close with this prayer from St. Thomas More: Grant me, O Lord, good digestion and also something to digest. Grant me a healthy body, and the necessary good humor to maintain it. Grant me a simple soul that knows to treasure all that is good and that doesn’t frighten easily at the sight of evil, but rather finds the means to put things back in their place. Give me a soul that knows not boredom, grumbling, sighs and laments, nor excess of stress, because of this obstructing thing called “I”. Grant me, O Lord, the grace to be able to take a joke and to discover in life a bit of joy and to be able to share it with others. Amen.

“El Mundo No Me Verá Más, Pero Ustedes Si Me Verán”

Lo ordinario es que nunca veamos físicamente a Jesús en esta vida, ¿Cómo entonces afirma que lo veremos?

† Como él nunca miente, entonces en el evangelio de hoy se refiere a que podemos verlo con los ojos de la fe, iluminados

por el Espíritu Santo: † En sus sacerdotes cuando ejercen el ministerio.

† En cada Misa. † En su Palabra proclamada.

† Cuando lo recibimos en la Comunión o lo visitamos en el sagrario.

† En todos los demás Sacramentos. † Cuando nos reunimos en su nombre para orar.

† En nuestro prójimo, especialmente en los pequeños y los que sufren.

“En aquel día entenderán que yo estoy en mi Padre, ustedes en mí y yo en ustedes”

. CATECISMO DE LA IGLESIA CATÓLICA

María: “Dichosa la que Ha Creído 148. La Virgen María realiza de la manera más perfecta la obediencia de la fe. En la fe, María acogió el anuncio y la

promesa que le traía el ángel Gabriel, creyendo que “nada es imposible para Dios”, y dando su asentimiento. “He aquí la

esclava del Señor; hágase en mí según tu palabra”. Isabel la saludó: “!Dichosa la que ha creído que se cumplirían las cosas que le fueron dichas de parte del Señor!”. Por esta fe todas las

generaciones la proclamarán bienaventurada. 149. Durante su vida, y hasta su última prueba, cuando Jesús,

su hijo, murió en la cruz, su fe no vaciló. María no cesó de creer en el “cumplimiento” de la palabra de Dios. Por todo ello,

la Iglesia venera en María la realización más pura de fe.

PLANIFICACION NATURAL DE LA FAMILIA (PNF) Las principales religiones incluyendo la Iglesia Católica, aceptan el uso de la Planificación Natural de la Familia(PNF), por parejas casadas cuando hay una razón justificada para posponer un embarazo. La Iglesia Católica enseña claramente que el uso de anticonceptivos es inmoral (también así lo enseñan los judíos, ortodoxos y protestantes). Además diferentes anticonceptivos como la píldora, implantes, inyecciones y el DIU, pueden causar abortos tempranos, es decir, pueden impedir que el bebe recién concebido se implante en el útero de su mamá. La Liga de Pareja a Pareja es una organización de voluntarios, fundada en 1971, dedicada a promover y enseñar sobre la PNF. Esto lo hacen mediante la capacitación profesional de parejas de esposos que comparten con otras parejas su conocimiento y experiencias personales con el Método Sintotérmico, la Paternidad Responsable y Lactancia. Requisitos para el Curso: • La pareja tiene que asistir al curso, desde la primera clase (sin excepción). • El curso tiene un costo de $70.00 (incluye el material de estudio). • El curso consta de 3 clases y serán las sgtes. fechas: Viernes, Mayo 26 @ 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm Viernes, Junio 2 @ 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm Viernes, Junio 30 @ 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm

Mary Shows Us How to Live in the Spirit “The Virgin Mary teaches us what it means to live in the Holy Spirit and what it means to accept the news of God in our lives. She conceived Jesus by the work of the Holy Spirit, and every Christian, each one of us, is called to accept the Word of God, to accept Jesus inside of us, and then to bring him to everyone. Mary invoked the Holy Spirit with the apostles in the upper room; we, too, every time that we come together in prayer, are sustained by the spiritual presence of the Mother of Jesus in order to receive the gift of the Spirit and to have the strength to witness to Jesus risen….May Mary help you to be attentive to what the Lord asks of you and to live and walk forever with the Holy Spirit!”

~ Pope Francis ~
