Remember September is Stewardship month! Have you been attentive to the many wonders of God’s grace in your life? God provides for us generously. Our beautiful sanctuary and our worshiping community, our vigorous parish school and the dynamic students and teachers, our active youth group and leaders, our outreach to serve the poor and visit the sick – all are signs that the Spirit of God is with us, blessing us.

Let’s be glad for all God does for us, and in thanksgiving, look around to see what you can do to give back generously. Plenty of workers are needed in the vineyard because the har-vest is great. Let’s be thankful for God’s abundance and be good stewards in offering our Time, Talent and Treasure to the One who gives us everything.

We need volunteers in many ministries. The office has more information. If you can help, please call the parish office at 424-1959.

Recuerden: septiembre es el mes de la corresponsabilidad! Han estado ustedes atentos a las muchas maravillas de la gra-cia divina en su vida? Dios nos provee generosamente. Nuestro hermoso santuario y nuestra comunidad de adora-cion; nuestra vigorosa escuela, y sus dinamicos alumnos y maestros; nuestro activo grupo juvenil y sus lideres; nuestro servicio especial a los pobres y las visitas a los enfermos; to-dos son signos de que el Espiritu de Dios esta con nosotros bendiciendonos.

Regocijemonos en todo lo que Dios hace por nosotros, y en accion de gracias, mieremos alrededor para ver que podemos hacer en retribucion generosa. Se requiere de infinidad de tra-bajadores en la vina porque la cosecha es grande. Seamos agradecidos por la abundancia divina y seamos buenos corre-sponsables ofreciendo nuestro tiempo, talento y tesoro a Quien nos da todo.

Necesitamos voluntarios en muchos ministerios. La oficina tiene mas informacion. Si usted puede ayudar, por favor comuniquese con la oficina parroquial al 424-1959.

PREPARING FOR THE NEW TRANSLATION OF THE MASS Why a New Translation? On the First Sunday of Advent, November 27, 2011, Catholic parishes in the United States will begin praying the texts of the Mass using a new English translation of The Roman Missal. Many people have wondered why the Church is implementing a new translation of the prayers of the Mass. The Mass is the very core of Catholic life; its prayers ex-press our Catholic beliefs. The more clearly we can express those beliefs, the more our faith can grow and be nourished. When the Mass was first translated into English some forty years ago, it was understood that the translation would have to be assessed and revised from time to time. Since then, a number of Church leaders, most prominently the late Blessed Pope John Paul II, have expressed the opinion that the 1960s translations of the Latin were done in haste. After the Sec-ond Vatican Council, when the Church throughout the world began praying the Mass in the languages of the people rather than in Latin, translations from the Latin were in immediate demand. In contrast, the new translation that we will now be using has taken nearly a decade to produce and, as Pope John Paul II desired, it is closer to the original Latin. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
