PARISH NEWS

Dear Parishioners and Friends, I write this on Thursday the 14th of June, a day when here at Blessed Sacrament I witnessed the “Stepping up” ceremonies of the Pre-K3 and Pre-K4 classes of our parish school. As I did so, I could not stop thinking of the picture I had just seen of a little girl, caught between her mother and a police car…..her mother’s arms were extend and she was being frisked……she had crossed the boarder, seeking asylum. All across the country, today, Thursday, people are gathering to protest the breakup of families and the traumatic treatment of children by the present government of the United States. I read these words of Rabbi Arthur Waskow, and would like to share them with you. (Torah is the “Pentateuch”, the first five Books of the Hebrew Scriptures [the Old Testament} “What might anyone who takes the Hebrew Bible either as sacred or as a serious spiritual text say in addressing this question? Torah speaks directly to the plight of refugees: "You shall not hand over to his master a slave who has escaped from his master to you. He may dwell with you in your midst, in the place which he chooses within your gates, wherever it seems best to him; you shall not maltreat him.” (Deuteronomy 23: 15-16) Says the Attorney-General of the United States: “Generally, claims by aliens pertaining to domestic violence or gang violence perpetrated by nongovernmental actors will not qualify for asylum.” “If people don't want to be separated from their children, they should not bring them with them. We've got to get this message out. You're not given immunity. You have to, you will be prosecuted, if you come illegally. And if you bring children, you'll still be prosecuted." (Jefferson Beauregard Sessions) The result of this policy, as described in a single case by the New Yorker. (There are now hundreds of these cases.) “Jose, a five-year-old Honduran boy, was taken away from his father by immigration officials last month, after the two of them had crossed the border at El Paso. The father was transferred to a detention camp. Jose, all alone, was put on a plane to Michigan and placed under the care of a family of kind but anguished strangers. In his bedroom at night, he clings to pictures that he’s drawn of his family—his mother and siblings in Honduras, with its epidemic of gang violence, and his father in a U.S. prison. He won’t stop asking, “When will I see my papa?” Attorney-General Sessions describes himself as a serious Christian. His religious faith and obligation sit ill with his decision to deny asylum to parents who are in urgent danger of murder of themselves and their children if they are forced back to the homes they are fleeing. Not that his task is to obey the Bible if it conflicts with US law and the Constitution; but where the law gives him discretion to define refugee status, we might hope he would draw on the clear teaching by God and his faith. We might call this to the attention of his down-home folks in Alabama and to his church in Washington DC And whether he draws on the Bible in this matter or not, we should. In our own houses of worship or celebration, in letters to our Members of Congress and Senators and to the editors of our newspapers. At an ICE office. We should. On this same subject, the Bishops of the United States have stated: “At its core, asylum is an instrument to preserve the right to life. The Attorney General's recent decision elicits deep concern because it potentially strips asylum from many women who lack adequate protection. These vulnerable women will now face return to the extreme dangers of domestic violence in their home country. This decision negates decades of precedents that have provided protection to women fleeing domestic

violence. Unless overturned, the decision will erode the capacity of asylum to save lives, particularly in cases that involve asylum seekers who are persecuted by private actors. We urge courts and policy makers to respect and enhance, not erode, the potential of our asylum system to preserve and protect the right to life. Additionally, I join Bishop Joe Vásquez, Chairman of USCCB's Committee on Migration, in condemning the continued use of family separation at the U.S./Mexico border as an implementation of the Administration's zero tolerance policy. Our government has the discretion in our laws to ensure that young children are not separated from their parents and exposed to irreparable harm and trauma. Families are the foundational element of our society and they must be able to stay together. While protecting our borders is important, we can and must do better as a government, and as a society, to find other ways to ensure that safety. Separating babies from their mothers is not the answer and is immoral." Thank you to all those who participated in our music ministry throughout the year, in particular the 10am Children’s Choir, and the 12:30 and 5:30 Sunday Choirs. During the summer we will be having organ/piano and cantor at our weekend Masses, and for those interested, the 5:30pm Sunday Choir will continue. On Tuesday the Church celebrates the Feast of St. Romauld. Romauld born in 10th Century Italy, led a wild life as a young person, but that all changed when, at age 20, he saw his father murder another man. Romauld, horrified by his father’s crime, fled to a Benedictine Monastery to repent for his father’s sin. Romauld would go on to establish the Camaldolese Order, which combined a communal way of life with a stricter eremitical (hermit) way of life, still lived by some Religious through the world today. On Thursday the Church celebrates St. Aloysius Gonzaga, who, at a young age, renounced his inheritance to join the Society of Jesus. Aloysius excelled as a student and was known for his rigor, which his spiritual director, St. Robert Bellarmine, sought to temper. While working in a hospital as a seminarian, Aloysius contracted a plague and subsequently died. He is hailed as a model for young people today. On Saturday we honor three saints along with our Blessed Mother. St. Paulinus of Nola (354-431), along with his wife after the death of their young son, began a way of life based on monasticism and charitable outreach. He was eventually appointed Bishop of Nola in Italy. Saint John Fisher (1469-1535) and St. Thomas More (1478-1535) both lived during the upheaval of the English Reformation. Both were friends of King Henry VIII, dubbed the Defender of the Faith for his defense of Catholicism in the wake of Martin Luther’s Reformation. Henry would later break from the Church, and many Catholics, including More and Fisher, were caught up in this turmoil. Both men were martyred by Henry and are honored for their faithfulness. As always, let us continue to pray for peace. Father Duffell

NOTICIAS PARROQUIALES Queridos Feligreses y Amigos; Escribo esto el jueves 14 de junio, un día cuando aquí, en “Blessed Sacrament”, fui testigo de las ceremonias de Intensificación “Step up” de las clases de Pre-K3 y Pre-K4 de nuestra escuela parroquial. Mientras lo hacía, no podía dejar de pensar en la imagen que acababa de ver de una niña pequeña, atrapada entre su madre y un coche de policía ... los brazos de su madre estaban extendidos y ella estaba siendo cacheada ...... ella había cruzado la frontera , buscando asilo. En todo el país, hoy jueves, la gente se reúne para protestar contra la desintegración de las familias y el tratamiento traumático de los niños por parte del actual gobierno de los Estados Unidos. Leí estas palabras del rabino Arthur Waskow y me gustaría compartirlas con ustedes. (El Torá es el "Pentateuco", los primeros cinco Libros de las Escrituras Hebreas [el Antiguo Testamento}: "¿Qué podría decir cualquiera que tome la Biblia hebrea como sagrada o como un texto espiritual serio al abordar esta cuestión? El Torá habla directamente a la difícil situación de los refugiados:" No entregarás a su amo a un esclavo que se haya escapado donde ti. Él puede habitar contigo en tu medio, en el lugar que él elija dentro de tus puertas, donde sea que le parezca mejor; no lo maltratarás "(Deuteronomio 23: 15-16). Dice el Fiscal General de los Estados Unidos: "En general, los reclamos de extranjeros relacionados con violencia doméstica o violencia de pandillas perpetrados por actores no gubernamentales no calificarán para el asilo". "Si las personas no quieren separarse de sus hijos, no deberían traerlos con ellos. Tenemos que transmitir este mensaje. No se les otorga inmunidad. Deben ser procesados, si vienen ilegalmente. Y si traen niños, aún serán enjuiciados". (Jefferson Beauregard Sessions) El resultado de esta política, como se describe en un solo caso por el New Yorker (ahora hay cientos de estos casos): "José, un niño hondureño de cinco años, fue retirado de su padre por funcionarios de inmigración el mes pasado, después que los dos cruzaron la frontera en El Paso. El padre fue transferido a un campo de detención. José, fue llevado en avión a Michigan y puesto bajo el cuidado de una familia de extraños amables, pero angustiados. En su habitación por la noche, se aferra a las imágenes que ha traído de su familia: su madre y hermanos en Honduras, con su epidemia de violencia de pandillas, y su padre en una prisión estadounidense. No para de preguntar: "¿Cuándo veré a mi papá?" El fiscal general Sessions se describe a sí mismo como un Cristiano serio. Su fe religiosa y su obligación lo hacen sentir mal con su decisión de negar el asilo a los padres y a sus hijos que corren peligro de ser asesinados si son obligados a regresar a los lugares de los que huyen. No es que su tarea sea obedecer la Biblia si entra en conflicto con la ley de los EE. UU. Y la Constitución; pero donde la ley le da discreción para definir el estatus de refugiado, podemos esperar que recurra a la enseñanza clara de Dios y su fe. Sobre este mismo tema, los Obispos de los Estados Unidos han declarado: "En su esencia, el asilo es un instrumento para preservar el derecho a la vida. La reciente decisión del Procurador genera una gran preocupación porque potencialmente le quita el asilo a muchas mujeres que carecen de protección adecuada. Estas mujeres vulnerables se enfrentarán ahora all regreso a los peligros extremos de la violencia doméstica. La decisión niega décadas de precedentes que han brindado protección a las mujeres que huyen de la violencia doméstica. A menos que se anule, la decisión erosionará la capacidad del asilo para salvar vidas, particularmente en casos que involucran a solicitantes de asilo que son perseguidos por actores privados. Instamos a los tribunales y legisladores a respetar y mejorar, no a erosionar, el potencial de nuestro sistema de asilo para preservar y proteger el derecho a la vida.”

Además, me uno al Obispo Joe Vásquez, Presidente del Comité de Migración de la USCCB, para condenar el uso continuado de la separación familiar en la frontera de EE.UU./México como una implementación de la política de tolerancia cero de la Administración. Nuestro gobierno tiene la discreción en nuestras leyes para garantizar que los niños no sean separados de sus padres y expuestos a daños y traumas irreparables. Las familias son el elemento fundamental de nuestra sociedad y deben poder permanecer juntas. Aunque proteger nuestras fronteras es importante, podemos y debemos hacerlo mejor como gobierno y como sociedad, para encontrar otras formas de garantizar esa seguridad. Separar a los bebés de sus madres no es la respuesta y es inmoral ". Gracias a todos los que participaron en nuestro ministerio de música durante todo el año, en particular, al Coro Infantil de las 10:00 am y los Coros de las 12:30 p.m. y 5:30 p.m.. Durante el verano tendremos organista, piano y cantor en las Misas de fin de semana, y para los interesados, el Coro de los Domingos a las 5:30 p.m. continuará. El martes, la Iglesia celebra la fiesta de San Romualdo. Nació en el siglo 10 en Italia, de joven llevó una vida salvaje, pero todo cambió cuando, a los 20 años, vio a su padre asesinar a otro hombre. Romauldo, horrorizado por el crimen de su padre, huyó a un monasterio benedictino para arrepentirse por el pecado de su padre. Luego, Romauldo establecería la Orden Camaldolese, que combinaba un modo de vida comunitario con un estilo de vida eremítico (ermitaño) más estricto, que aún hoy viven algunos religiosos en todo el mundo. El jueves, la Iglesia celebra a San Aloysius Gonzaga, quien, a una edad temprana, renunció a su herencia para unirse a la Compañía de Jesús. Aloysius sobresalió como estudiante y fue conocido por su rigor, que su director espiritual, St. Robert Bellarmine, trató de moderar. Mientras trabajaba en un hospital como seminarista, Aloysius contrajo una plaga y posteriormente murió. Él es aclamado como un modelo para los jóvenes de hoy. El sábado honramos a tres santos junto con nuestra Santísima Madre. San Paulino de Nola (354-431), junto con su esposa después de la muerte de su hijo pequeño, comenzó una forma de vida basada en el monacato y el alcance caritativo. Luego fue nombrado Obispo de Nola en Italia. Saint John Fisher (1469-1535) y St. Thomas More (1478-1535) vivieron durante el levantamiento de la Reforma Inglesa. Ambos eran amigos del rey Enrique VIII, apodado el Defensor de la Fe por su defensa del catolicismo a raíz de la Reforma de Martín Lutero. Más tarde, Henry rompería con la Iglesia y muchos católicos, incluidos More y Fisher, quedaron atrapados en esta confusión. Ambos hombres fueron martirizados por Henry y son honrados por su fidelidad. Oremos por la paz. Padre Duffell
