(Continued on page 4)

Estimados Feligreses:El lunes celebraremos nuevamente, como nación, el

Día de Martin Luther King Jr. Podrán recordar que el año pasado por estas fechas nos encontrábamos inmersos en la inquietante verdad revelada en el Boston Globe dentro de su serie Bajo el Foco sobre el Racismo, en la que la reputación de Boston de ser la “ciudad más racista” no era sólo “real”, sino muy probablemente “merecida.”

A la luz de continuas actitudes racistas en nuestra na-ción, el pasado noviembre la Confer-encia Episcopal de los Estados Unidos emitió una oportuna Carta Pastoral Contra el Racismo: “Abramos Bien Nuestros Corazones: El Llamado Du-radero a Amar.” En esa carta recono-cen que muchos grupos han sido ob-jeto de prejuicios raciales y étnicos en nuestro país. Enumeran “irlandeses, italianos, mexicanos, puertorriqueños, polacos, judíos, chinos y japoneses” y subrayan el aumento del sentimiento anti semítico y anti musulmán en es-tos momentos. También se expanden brevemente en la historia y experien-cias contemporáneas de tres grupos que han sido y todavía son sujetos de formas extremas de racismo: los nati-vo americanos, los afro americanos y los hispanos.

Al final de esa exposición, la carta señala correctamente que “ la mayoría

de las personas no se consideran racistas. Una persona puede admitir tener prejuicios, pero ciertamente no se de-nominan racistas. Como Cristianos, sabemos que nuestro deber es amar al prójimo. San Pablo nos recuerda que vivimos por el Espíritu, y el “fruto del Espíritu es el amor, la alegría, la paz, la paciencia, la amabilidad, la genero-sidad, la fidelidad, la gentileza, el auto control” (Gal 5: 22-23). Tenemos que ser honestos con nosotros mismos. Cada uno de nosotros debe examinar su conciencia y preguntarse si esos frutos realmente están presentes en nuestras actitudes hacia las razas. O, más bien, ¿reflejan ellas la desconfianza, la impaciencia, el enojo, el dolor, la incomodidad, o el rencor?

Dear Parishioners,On Monday we will again celebrate, as a nation, Martin

Luther King Jr. Day. You may recall that last year at this time we found ourselves sitting with the disturbing truth revealed in the Boston Globe’s Spotlight series on Rac-ism, namely, that Boston’s reputation for being the “most racist city” in our country is not only “real,” but most probably “deserved.”

In light of continuing racist attitudes in our nation, this past November the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops is-sued a timely Pastoral Letter Against Racism: “Open Wide Our Hearts: The Enduring Call to Love.” In that letter they acknowledge that many groups have been the target of racial and ethnic prejudice in our country. They list “Irish, Italians, Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Poles, Jews, Chinese and Jap-anese” and underscore the rise today in anti-Semitism and anti-Muslim sen-timent. They also briefly expand on the history and contemporary experi-ences of three groups that have been and are still subject to extreme forms of racism: Native Americans, African Americans and Hispanics

At the conclusion of that expo-sition, the letter rightly points out that “most people would not consid-er themselves to be racist. A person might admit to being prejudiced but certainly not racist. As Christians, we know it is our duty to love others. St. Paul reminds us that we live by the Spirit, and the “fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gener-osity, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control” (Gal 5:22-23). We must be honest with ourselves. Each of us should examine our conscience and ask if these fruits are real-ly present in our attitudes about race. Or, rather, do our attitudes reflect mistrust, impatience, anger, distress, dis-comfort, or rancor?”

Given these continuing negative racist attitudes, even among Catholics, the Pastoral Letter encourages all the faithful to be “missionary disciples, carrying forth the

Week of Christian UnityJanuary 18th - 25th

Theme: "Justice, Only Justice, You Shall Pursue."

This year's theme is inspired by Deuteronomy 16:18-20.

Project Bread's Major Fundraiser How will you be involved this year?Team Ignatius did an awesome job last year. Let’s do even better this time around! Stay tuned for more informa-tion, including registration facts and dates.

message of fraternal charity and human dignity.” It also asks parishes “to fight the evil of racism by educating themselves, reflecting on their personal thoughts and actions, listening to the experience of those who have been affected by racism, and by developing and supporting programs that help repair the damages caused by racial discrimination.”

Certainly, I invite you to read and reflect on this powerful pastoral letter easily found on line on the USCCB website. My hope is simple: that those prayers that will surely bubble up in your heart as you read and reflect upon this letter might then lead you to become involved in some way with our Peace, Justice and Reconciliation Commission and its efforts. Together we can then forge pathways for how we, as a parish community, might best continue to engage in “Dismantling Racism” – the name of the parish program that our P, J & R Commission held last year around this time.

Is it not time for us to build on these initial efforts to com-bat racism and do much more? We cannot do that, however, without your support. So please help to us all to continue to call one another to “Open Wide our Hearts.”With hope for increased racial justice and civil rights for all,

Fr. Joe

Dado estas continuas actitudes negativas racistas, aún entre católicos, la carta pastoral anima a todos los fieles a ser “dis-cípulos misioneros, llevando el mensaje de caridad fraterna y de dignidad humana.” También le pide a las parroquias “combatir el mal del racismo educándose, reflexionando en sus pensamientos y acciones personales, escuchando la ex-periencia de aquellos que han sido afectados por el racismo, y desarrollando y apoyando programas que ayuden a reparar los daños causados por la discriminación racial.”

Ciertamente, los invito a leer y reflexionar sobre esta poderosa carta pastoral que se puede encontrar fácilmente en línea en la página web del USCCB. Mi esperanza es sim-ple: que las plegarias que seguramente surgirán en sus cora-zones al leer y reflexionar sobre ella, puedan entonces guiar-los a estar más involucrados de alguna forma con nuestra Comisión de Paz, Justicia y Reconciliación y sus esfuerzos. Justos podremos forjar caminos de cómo, como comunidad parroquial, podemos continuar mejor comprometiéndonos a “Desmantelar al Racismo” – el nombre del programa parro-quial que nuestra Comisión P, J &R ofreció por estas fechas el año pasado.

¿No es ahora el tiempo de construir sobre esos esfuerzos iniciales de combatir el racismo y hacer mucho más? Sin embargo, no lo podemos hacer sin su apoyo. Por lo que, por favor, ayúdennos todos a continuar llamándonos unos a otros a “Abrir bien nuestros Corazones.”

Con esperanza por una mayor justicia racial y derechos civiles para todos:
