Valentine’s Weekend Renewal of Marriage Vows

This weekend of February 11/12 we invite all our married couples to join together in renewing their vows before God and asking for God’s Bless-ing of Grace and Love. Thank you for being of Sacrament of Jesus’ Love to us all.

Joke of the Week After she woke up, a woman told her husband, "I just dreamed you gave me a diamond necklace for Valen-tine’s Day. What do you think it means?" "You’ll know tonight," he said. That evening the husband came home with a small pack-age and gave it to his wife. Delighted, she opened it--to find a book entitled “The Meaning of Dreams.”

Reflection of Servant Sunday As a parish that values the gifts of its members, St. Charles Borromeo strives to be an engaged parish, where the parishioners know and use their God-given strengths, can be actively engaged in the life of the parish community, have their spiritual needs met, and grow spiritually. Jesus had a role for each of us to play in building up our parish and the Church. Jesus had given us unique gifts specifically so that we can be a part of His wonder-ful work. He continues to reach out to us and invite us to participate in His work. Here are some practical suggestions for partici-pating in the Life of the Church: Attending Mass weekly and participating fully and

prayerfully. Becoming actively involved in some ministry of the

parish that touches our hearts. Participating in spiritual enrichment activities of the

parish, such as Bible Study Groups, prayer groups, CRHP Retreats, etc.

Sharing unique talents, job skills, or knowledge to help organize, manage and maintain our parish.

Reaching out to help a fellow parishioner who may need support– our youth, our shut-ins, our sick, our grieving, new parishioners who come as strangers among us, those who are unemployed.

Participating in the work of the parish through regu-lar financial contributions.

Reaching beyond our parish boundaries to help those who are hungry, homeless or lonely.

Participating in the teaching and social justice work of the Church through Respect Life activities, Parish Unity Committee, or St. Vincent de Paul activities.

Participating more actively in the celebration of the Mass by serving in the Choir, as a lector, Extraordi-nary Minister, greeter, gift bearer or usher.

(continued next column)

If you have not already done so, please complete the Servant Sunday brochure that was provided in Church and return it in the collection or bring it to the parish of-fice. Prayerfully consider if God is calling you to the joy of fuller participation in parish life by joining one or more of the ministries noted.

A Valentine Prayer

I said a Valentine prayer for you and asked the Lord above

to fill your heart and bless your soul With the precious gift of love.

I asked Him for sincere love The kind that's meant to stay Just like the generous love

You give to those you touch each day.

I prayed for love from family And from every cherished friend

Then I asked the Lord to give you His love that knows no end.

Amen

Spread the Gospel, the Good News about Jesus and His Borromeo Family.

A Holy Community through Holy Communion! Your brother in Jesus,

Woman’s CHRP Retreat – February 18 & 19, 2017

CHRP was a life changing event for me. I not only re-ceived a greater appreciation for the Bible and the Eucha-rist, I learned how God had helped so many CRHP Sisters in their lives. I also have met so many other ladies (all ag-es) that I may have never met, had it not been for CRHP.

These CRHP Sisters took me under their wing and stormed Heaven with prayers for my family and for myself.

Thanks to CRHP, I discovered my self worth and was able to make the decision to move away from my job and found out there was so much more to life. I have been a part of several CRHP Retreats and I am still growing in my faith, thanks to this Retreat. I’ll be more than happy to talk to anyone who has any questions about CRHP or anyone

who wants to know more about my personal CRHP experi-

St. Charles Borromeo Memorial Gift Cards

We have available in our Narthex, church office, and at our local funeral homes, Memorial Gift Cards. You can designate your gift to our Capital Improvement Fund, SCB School’s Help-A-Student Tuition Aid, SCB St. Vincent De-Paul Society, or any other SCB program or project. When you are making arrangements for the funeral and visitation, you may ask your funeral director to set these cards out. Or, when you are going to the visitation, you may pick up a card in the box in our Narthex. I would bet many of our beloved Borromeo members who pass on would love to have their Memorial Gifts giv-en to SCB Parish because they (and we all) are so proud of our wonderful Parish Family here.

Two Special Parishioner Birth-days for February February 22- Dick Shields

February 26 Dolly Johannesman Please wish them a Happy Birthday!


Liturgy of the Word for Children “At one point, children were brought to him so that he could place his hands on them in prayer. The disciples began to scold them, but Jesus said, ‘Let the children come to me. Do not hinder them. The kingdom of God belongs to such as these.’” (Ma hew 19: 13-14) Our Liturgy of the Word for Children program provides a means for children from Kindergarten age to grade three to know and come to Jesus. The program is designed to help children be er understand the readings and the Gospel each Sunday at Mass. The priest dismisses the children at the beginning of Mass to the catechist. The children and catechist proceed to the cafeteria where the children hear the readings, the Gospel, and an explana on in words that they understand. The children then return to Mass at a me when the interrup on of the congrega on can be minimized, for instance, during the collec on. There are many reasons that our Liturgy of the Word for Children program is so beneficial. An a empt is made to make the scriptures more comprehensible to children in this age range. Parents can listen more a en vely to the Liturgy of the Word. The children can be given explana ons of ways to live the Good News they just heard. The children become more a part of the Word, because they now be er understand the readings and the Gospel. The program allows the parish another opportunity for catechesis. Liturgy of the Word for Children is offered during the 8:30am Mass each Sunday during the school year. At the beginning of the Mass the leader of the children’s Liturgy of the Word processes with the children’s Lec onary next to the lector carrying the adult lec onary. This indicates that the children are celebra ng the Liturgy of the Word at that Mass. At Borromeo, we use Children’s Liturgy of the Word 20xx published by Liturgy Training Publica ons. The children very much enjoy the program. They par cipate freely and leave with an apparent understanding of the Gospel message. We are looking for teams of adult Ministers to serve as Leaders in this Ministry. Most of our teams have been

leading this ministry for many years and it is always good to have subs tutes and new teams. Training will be provided – all

we ask is you have a love of Scripture and a love of Children. If you are interested or would like to have more informa on,

please contact Mrs. Katy Smith at 946-4144 or [email protected]. Peace to you!

PFLAUM GOSPEL WEEKLIES & FAMILY CATECHESIS

Our Parish School of Religion students

and families are enjoying Pflaum Gos-

pel Weeklies, which are a liturgically-

based catechetical program that helps parents teach their chil-

dren gospel values at home, supplementing what is taught in

the classroom each Sunday.

Each week, parents are connected to their child(ren)’s

lesson. We’re all busy, and the Gospel At Home provides a

short description of the Sunday Gospel plus suggested activities

and discussion starters for each age level. These easy-to-do ideas

bring families together to share what each member has learned

about the Gospel that they heard on Sunday and studied in

class.

Because they are bilingual, we are able to use them in

all our classes, both English and Spanish.

The take home family handouts provide a fun way to learn

about Jesus and his Church, by providing a short but informa-

tive explanation of the weekly Mass readings. Finally, these

Gospel Weeklies offer the PSR program a means of gathering

families every other month in what we call Family Catechesis.

On these Sundays, our families sit together in the cafeteria and

learn and work together lead by a catechist! We look forward

SEMANARIOS PFLAUM Y LA CATE-QUESIS FAMILIAR

Cada semana nuestros alumnos de la

catequesis y sus familias están disfru-

tando del Semanario del Evangelio

de Pflaum. Los Semanarios son parte del programa para la

formación de la fe basado en la liturgia que ayudan a los pa-

dres a enseñar a sus hijos los valores del Evangelio en el hogar.

Cada Semanario complementan lo que las catequistas enseña

en el aula cada domingo.

Cada semana, los padres están conectados a la lección

de sus hijos (as). Todos participan leyendo el evangelio, dialo-

gando con su breve descripción y desarrollando las actividades

sugeridas para cada nivel según la edad de los niños.

Los Semanarios son bilingües por lo que son utilizados

en nuestras clases de inglés y español.

En casa los Semanarios ofrecen una forma divertida de apren-

der acerca de Jesús y de su iglesia, proporcionando una expli-

cación corta pero informativa de las lecturas de la Misa. Por

último, estos Semanarios ofrecen al programa de Catequesis un

medio de reunir familias cada dos meses en lo que llamamos

Catequesis Familiar. En estos domingos, nuestras familias se

sientan juntas en la cafetería y aprenden y trabajan siguiendo la

News from our Parish School of Religion…..

RCIA and PSR Notes RCIA is going very well. Our six dynamic candidates Bran-don, Christine, Jaclyn, Jorge, Lisa and Tim, gradually contin-ue to be introduced to aspects of our Catholic beliefs and practices. Please pray for them as they prepare to celebrate the Rite of Sending the 25th of this month. Our PSR students, especially those preparing for Confirmation, have been working hard and having some great discussions with their small groups as they learn and grow throughout their faith journey toward confirmation and beyond. They are learning about and digging deeper into their faith with their peers and their group leaders. PSR students are getting involved in Mass ministries, choir, youth ministry and several Confirmation students participat-ed in the Pro-Life March to Washington, D.C.

RCIA y PSR Notas RCIA está yendo muy bien. Nuestros seis candidatos Brandon,

Christine, Jaclyn, Jorge, Lisa y Tim, continúan siendo introduci-

The first reading from the Old Testament makes

clear how the people of God are to live. The message is

to live with a concern for others, especially the poor.

Those who do this will be like a light shining in the dark-

ness and the glory of God will be with them. Today’s

passage stresses the call of God’s chosen people to be

a force for good in the world. God wants to eliminate the

suffering of the poor. God’s people are given instruction

to feed the hungry, shelter the homeless and clothe the

naked.

The theme of a light shining in the darkness is

also found in today’s Gospel. Jesus tells his followers

to let their light shine. Jesus’ disciples let their light

shine by becoming a force for good and love in the

world. This Gospel passage encourages followers of

Jesus to live with a concern for the poor. When action is

taken on behalf of those in need, the light of God’s pres-

ence shines in the world. God’s love transforms the

world. Disciples of Jesus are called to spread the light

of God’s love and make the world a better place.

Why is the church concerned with the prob-

lems and injustices that exist in society? Where have you seen the needs and concerns

of the poor given priority.

Católicos Dinámicos Vivos! - Reconciliación Con quien necesitamos reconciliarnos en la vida? Tal vez usted ha pecado contra la ley de Dios a través de la ira, lujuria, falta de honradez, chismes u otras malas acciones. Jesús nos recuerda en la con nuación de su sermón que la vida cris ana exige normas más estrictas. Es esencial tener en cuenta que nosotros podemos vivir estas normas para cooperar con la gracia de que Dios nos da en los sacramentos, especialmente la Eucaris a y la reconcili-ación. Los sacramentos nos dan gracia san ficante y nos traen a la vida cuando estamos muertos en nuestros pecados. Al acer-carse al altar cada domingo, hagamos un examen de conciencia y busquemos la misericordia del Señor en el Sacramento de la rec-onciliación si somos culpables de pecado mortal. Debemos pre-star atención a la sabiduría del Señor para buscar la perfección, escuchando su voz y responder a las gracias que nos concede. La Eucaris a y la reconciliación son dos extraordinarias bendiciones que tenemos como católicos! "La confesión es un acto de hones-

dad y valen a - un acto de confiar a nosotros mismos, más allá del pecado, a misericordia de un Dios amoroso y que perdona." ~ Papa San John Paul II archstl.org/dynamic

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE El siglo pasado en la década de los 70s, un joven mexicano cru-zaba el desierto fronterizo entre México y Estados Unidos. Un sacerdote lo encontró y se ofreció a cruzarlo en su camioneta a Estados Unidos. El sacerdote le dijo que si regresaba a su tierra lo estaría esperando en Santa Ana de Guadalupe, un pequeño rancho cerca de Jalostotitlán, en la región de Los Altos de Jalis-co, México. Con el tiempo, el joven regresó a México y fue en busca de su buen samaritano. Preguntando por él, la gente del pueblo lo llevó a una capilla donde se sorprendió al ver la foto de su bienhechor en la tumba de santo Toribio Romo. Muchos inmigrantes que relatan lo mismo acerca de un sacer-dote o buen samaritano que rescata indocumentados en el desierto, alimentándolos, llevándolos a Estados Unidos, incluso, diciéndoles dónde encontrar trabajo. En 1928, Toribio Romo fue asesinado a la edad de 28 años du-rante "La Cristiana" (1926-1929). Este joven sacerdote murió a manos de un gobierno cruel que no sabia respetar los derechos humanos. Ahora como santo se dedica a ayudar a los pobres que sufren a causa de leyes inmigratorias que tampoco respetan los derechos humanos. --Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright (c) J. S.
