St. Patricks Catholic Church

26th Sunday in Ordinary Time, September 27, 2015

Rev. Johnson Lopez,

Pastor

Dear brothers and sisters,

No doubt, this past week was very special to us with the visit of Pope Francis to the US, watching him on TV
and especially listening to his speeches. There is a lot that we can learn from his words. One of his many
teachings which stays with me was to work for the culture of the encounter. He said it both in the context of
politics and church ministry.
Let us analyze these two words: culture and encounter. When something becomes part of the culture, it
stays; it does not go away. It is accepted by society at large. The pope is asking us to work for and build
something which will last over time. The other word, encounter, is certainly not in the meaning of confrontation
or unexpected meeting. With Pope Francis, it is quite the opposite. Encounter, in the words of the Pope, is
coming together, working together, building community and helping each other.
The Popes words are very prophetic and full of hope. We live in times in which international relationships
are more hostile than friendly. The others difference is a cause for enmity rather than tolerance. Dialogue is not
part of this culture. The culture of the encounter, therefore, is a call to the nations leaders to be open to listening
to their neighbors, even when it is uncomfortable, to keep the dialogue going, and to be able to live in a peaceful
environment despite the nations differences.
As the Pope addressed the Bishops, acknowledging the many challenges which the church faces locally, he
also said, We are builders of the culture of the encounter. We are called to build the culture of the encounter in
the setting of our parish communities. Any time that we gather in any of our facilities, either to pray, teach, study,
or work, we are building the culture of the encounter. The first blessing of any churchs gathering is the fact that
people come together.
The culture of the encounter fosters unity and communion. Every encounter of the community is a way of
preparing, both personal and communal, to the personal encounter with the Lord; encounter which reaches its
climax in the celebration of the Holy Eucharist on Sunday. I would like to acknowledge those of you who gather
here at St. Pats to either pray, teach, learn or work. Even more, I take this opportunity to acknowledge your
presence every Sunday at the Holy Eucharist. God bless you.
Fr. Lopez

We are most grateful
for all that you do.

Congratulations and thank you, Deacon George!

You are invited to join us and close to a
thousand other men at the 20th Annual Great
Lakes Catholic Mens Conference.

Mark the Date; registration info to follow

You may ask, why should I attend one of the

longest running Catholic Mens conferences in
the nation? Look out and you'll see a wounded
world, a world that has many pitfalls that can
harm both yourself and your family. It is a
world that needs more men of God to stand up,
men who are leading their families to virtue,
imitating the heroic love of Christ.
Yet, in todays busy, high-tech world, there are
few opportunities where we can take time to
reflect on how to better imitate this heroic
love; time to put away the cell phone and ipad
and be inspired to go further in our imitation of
Christ for the sake of not only ourselves, but
our loved ones. This Mens Conference
provides you that opportunity!
This conference is for men of all ages,
regardless of your state in life. It includes
Mass, Reconciliation, music, popular Catholic
vendors, lunch, and time for reflection.
You will not regret attending. The day will be
both inspirational and challenging. It will be
an opportunity to stand up with other men,
taking initiative to transform the world by
living Godly lives.

Prayer Shawl Ministry

Prayer Shawls have been made for centuries. People knit shawls to
console those who are grieving, comfort those who are ill, and bring
hope to those in despair. One can pray for the individual who will
receive the shawl as one knits/crochets:
O Christ Who healed the broken in body and
spirit, be with the person who will receive this
shawl. Be with the professionals who will be
helping this soul, as well as the family and
friends who will love and comfort him/her. May
your gentle and yet strong touch reach out to heal
any pain that this person suffers. I ask this in
Jesus Holy Name; Amen.
We need your help. Please knit/crochet a prayer
shawl and donate it to our Health Ministry
program to give comfort and hope for those who are suffering.
You may bring them to the Parish Office.

Thank you to those who donated for the Altar and Ambo cloths! All four sets are paid for!

Respuestas a tu fe Catlica

Answer #1:
B. All of the sacraments are necessary and very
important, but they are all pointed toward the
reception of the Eucharist, in which we
participate in a very true, real Communion with
the entire Church, both in heaven and on earth.
CCC 1324

Respuesta # 1:
B. Todos los sacramentos son necesarios y muy
importantes, pero estn todos apuntando hacia la
recepcin de la Eucarista, en la que participamos es
un muy cierto, la comunin real con toda la Iglesia,
tanto en el cielo como en la tierra. CCC 1324

Answer #2:
A. Because we are humans and aren't just spirits,
God decided to give his graces to us and make
Himself known by means of very noticeable,
touchable sacraments. This is why sacraments
involve real, everyday objects, like Baptism
(water), Confirmation (oils), and even Confession
(the words of the priest!) CCC 1131

Respuesta # 2:
A. Debido a que somos seres humanos y no slo
somos espritus, Dios decidi dar sus gracias a
nosotros y darse a conocer a travs de los
sacramentos, tctiles muy notables. Esta es la razn
por que los sacramentos implican, objetos
cotidianos reales, como el bautismo (agua),
confirmacin (aceites), e incluso Confesin (las
palabras del sacerdote!) CCC 1131

Question #3:
B. "Baptize" comes from a Greek word, "baptizein",
which means to immerse or plunge - which is
exactly what happens during baptism.
CCC
1214

Pregunta # 3:
B. "Bautizar" viene de una palabra griega, "baptizein",
lo que significa sumergir o paso - que es
exactamente lo que sucede durante el bautismo.
CCC 1214
