 From The Pastor’s Desk
Dear Parish Family,
Peace and all good! Peace on earth to all people of
good will!
On behalf of all of the Franciscan friars here at
Mission San Luis Rey, the incredibly hardworking and
dedicated staff at our parish, our parish school (Old
Mission Montessori) and religious education
programs—and on behalf of all of the extraordinary
members of our parish family who so consistently
dedicate their time, talents, and treasure to our
community through so many projects and ministries—
we wish you, each and every one, a Season filled with
Christ’s Peace, Blessing, Joy, and Hope.
Thinking about Christmas this year, I am reminded of
an experience I had attending a children’s Christmas
Mass in Ohio a number of years ago. The bishop of the
diocese where I was visiting had invited children from
throughout the area to attend. The atmosphere in the
cathedral was wonderfully chaotic, as you can imagine,
with everyone from toddlers to teens packed in and
bubbling with enthusiasm. The liturgy went well—very
well. And at the conclusion, the bishop, overwhelmed
with excitement and emotion, blurted out: “You know,
Christmas is such a wonderful holiday, we should
celebrate it every single year!--- Err…. I mean, we
should celebrate it every single day!” Too late; the cat
was out of the bag. The congregation roared. And the
poor bishop blushed, smiled and just shrugged his
shoulders good-naturedly. Aw c’mon, you know what I
mean!
The bishop’s intended point was well taken, of
course. Christmas is such a wonderful holiday that we

YEAR END PLANNING
If you have been reading the business
section of either of our local papers you
have no doubt noticed that the year end
tax advice columns are starting to appear.
The last quarter of the year is the time to
take the necessary actions to reduce that tax liability that
looms just around the corner. Many folks choose
charitable giving as the avenue to reduce those taxes. If
this is your plan please do not forget our parish. If you
need to make a mandatory IRA withdrawal, this can be
2 | MISSION SAN LUIS REY PARISH, Oceanside, California — December 26, 2010
should celebrate it every single day. We would all
agree with the ideal, but many people have problems
celebrating Christmas for even one whole day, never
mind every single one. All this hype, all this buildup of
expectations for a single 24-hour period during which
everyone is supposed to experience the perfection of
joy and peace on cue. Of course, the expectation is
impossible to fulfill.
That does not tarnish or diminish the ideal—our ideal
as Christians—one little bit. Media hype and clichés
aside, we are called—at, in, and through Christmas—to
enter more deeply into the incredible mystery of the
Incarnation. A mystery which cannot be confined to a
single day, but necessarily spreads itself out,
permeating and percolating through every moment of
our graced existence. Christ, our Emmanuel—our
“God with us” is really with us. And always will be.
The feasts of the Church during these great and holy
“holidays’ calls us to a deeper awareness of that loving
and sustaining Presence: the birth of Jesus in
Bethlehem, the commemoration of the first martyrs of
the Christian faith (Stephen and the Holy Innocents),
the celebration of the Holy Family, the Solemnity of
Mary, the Mother of God-- and the culminating
commemoration of the Baptism of the Lord.
Christ Incarnate is indeed the Reason for the
Season—this and every single day and every single
season of our lives.
Merry Christmas!
Fr. Chuck
done directly to the church and tax can be avoided. We
know that there are many demands on your resources,
and many charitable organizations asking for your gift,
just remember that what you give to your church is used
right here. It may be for food for the needy, education
for our youth, or services to other sectors of our
community, but it stays here.
If there is a special need that you would like your gift to
address, just say so with a note and we will honor your
wish. Thank you for all that you do and all that you give.
Our parish is stronger and better able to cope with local
needs because of your gifts.

Christmas 2010
As we go to press (which is always early), we’re
hoping we will be able to care for all of God’s
beloved needy families who came to us for help
this Christmas. These families received generous
food baskets with everything needed for a true
feast and gifts for the delighted little ones.
There are so many we would like to thank individually, but
space prohibits, so we’ll mention just a few who deserve
special notice. Once again we send appreciation to the
students, parents and teachers of OMMS who sponsored
entire families with food and gifts, to Z Market and our other
food suppliers for always giving us the fairest possible pricing
on top quality food and for taking last minute orders and
filling them promptly without complaint; to the parish staff
who helped in untold ways. To an amazingly dedicated and
tireless crew of volunteers and to all the individuals who
donated money, food or gifts we send our deepest
appreciation. Nothing would have been done without all of
you and your financial, emotional and loving support. The
true spirit of Christmas is alive and thriving at Mission San
Luis Rey Parish!!!
God bless those who stopped by with good wishes or sent
loving notes with your donations. It was wonderful meeting
new people and seeing old friends again. Thank you for the
incredible privilege of being able to serve so many this
Christmas and thank you especially for your love of the needy
and your willingness to help make the world a little nicer
place in which to live. You have created this miracle of
sharing and Christmas was a very special day for so many
because of each one of you! May each of us start the New
Year 2011 with a renewed resolution to help make this world
reflect our caring concern for each other.

BOOK OF THE WEEK:
The Priesthood of the Faithful
Key to a Living Church
by Fr. Paul Philibert
If you are a baptized Catholic, you have been called to the
common priesthood of the Body of Christ. What does that
mean? Fr. Philibert answers this question in his book, The
Priesthood of the Faithful.
The New Testament describes the baptized as “a holy
priesthood” and “a priestly people.” Vatican II clearly taught
that the baptized become “a holy priesthood.” Their
personal fidelity and lives, led in loving obedience to the
Gospel, become “spiritual sacrifices” offered along with the
Body of the Lord in the Eucharist. This book is the first study
in English to explore systemically this key doctrine of
Christian faith and examine its significance for the spiritual
growth of the faithful and for the revitalization of the
Church. The time is ripe for this long-neglected treasure of
New Testament faith to become central to the Church’s
preaching, ministry and evangelization.

Querida Familia Parroquial,
¡Paz y Todo Bien! ¡Paz en la tierra a toda la gente de
buena voluntad!
A nombre de todos los frailes Franciscanos de esta Misión de
San Luis Rey, del personal increíblemente trabajador y dedi-
cado de nuestra parroquia, de nuestra escuela parroquial
(Montessori) y de los programas de educación religiosa y en
nombre de todos los miembros de nuestra familia parroquial
que dedican constantemente su tiempo, sus talentos y su
tesoro a nuestra comunidad a través de un sin número de
proyectos y de ministerios—nosotros les deseamos a todos y
a cada uno de ustedes una Estación llena de la Paz, de las
Bendiciones, del Gozo y de la Esperanza de Cristo.
Pensando sobre la Navidad este año, recuerdo una experien-
cia que tuve asistiendo a una Misa de Navidad para los niños
en Ohio hace un número años. El Obispo de la Diócesis don-
de yo estaba visitando, había invitado niños de toda el área
cercana a asistir a la Misa. La atmósfera en la catedral era
caótica maravillosamente, como ustedes pueden imaginar-
se, con todo el mundo, desde niños pequeños hasta adoles-
centes, repleto de gente burbujeando de entusiasmo. La
liturgia estuvo bien—muy bien. Y al final, el obispo exaltado
con entusiasmo y emoción comentó en voz alta: “¡Les digo
que Navidad es un día de fiesta tan maravilloso que debería-
mos celebrarlo todos los años!—Bueno… quiero decir, cada
día!” Demasiado tarde, el gato salió de la bolsa. La congrega-
ción se reía. Y el solamente se encogió de los hombros, muy
naturalmente. ¡Ustedes saben lo que quiero decir!
La buena intención del Obispo fue bien entendida, claro
está. La Navidad es una fiesta tan maravillosa que nosotros
debíamos celebrarla cada día. Todos nosotros estamos de
acuerdo con lo ideal pero muchas personas tienen proble-
mas celebrando la Navidad hasta por un solo día, no se diga,
cada persona. Toda esta promoción con anuncios excesivos,
todo este ambiente de grandes expectativas para un período
único de 24 horas durante el cual todo el mundo está su-
puesto a experimentar la perfección de gozo y de paz en el
momento justo. Claro está que la expectativa a lo esperado
es imposible de lograrse.
Esto no disminuye ni empaña el idea, nuestro ideal como
Cristianos—ni un poco. Fuera de la promoción con bombos y
platillos de los medios de publicidad, nosotros estamos en y
a través de las Navidades—a entrar más profundamente en
el misterio increíble de la Encarnación. Un misterio que no
puede ser limitado a un solo día pero que necesariamente se
extiende hacia afuera, permeándose y colándose a través de
cada momento de nuestra existencia en gracia. Cristo, nues-
tro Emanuel—nuestro “Dios con nosotros” está realmente
con nosotros. Y siempre estará.
8 | PARROQUIA MISION SAN LUIS REY, Oceanside, California — 26 de diciembre del 2010
Las fiestas de la Iglesia durante estos días maravillosos y
“santos” nos llaman a tener una conciencia profunda de la
Presencia amorosa que nos sostiene: el nacimiento de Jesús
en Belén, el conmemorar los primeros mártires de la fe Cris-
tiana (Esteban, los Santos Inocentes), la celebración de la
Sagrada Familia, la Solemnidad de María, la Madre de Dios—
y culminando con la conmemoración del Bautismo del Señor.
El Cristo Encarnado es induda-
blemente la Razón para la
Estación—este y cada día y
cada estación de nuestras
vidas.
¡Feliz Navidad!
Padre Chuck
PLANIFICACION PARA FIN DE AÑO
Si han estado leyendo la sección de negocios de algunos
de los periódicos locales sin duda habrán observado el co-
mienzo de las advertencias de fin de año sobre las contribu-
ciones. El cuarto final del año es el tiempo de tomar la acción
necesaria para reducir las contribuciones que están en la
esquina. Muchas personas escogen hacer donaciones carita-
tivas como medio para reducir esas contribuciones. Si éste es
tu plan, por favor no te olvides de nuestra parroquia. Si tu
necesitas hacer un retiro monetario de tu IRA (cuenta de
retiro individual) esto puedes hacerlo directamente a la igle-
sia y así evitar la contribución a pagar. Nosotros sabemos que
debes tener muchas demandas sobre tus recursos y muchas
organizaciones caritativas reclamando tu regalo, solo acuér-
date que la donación que tu hagas a la Iglesia se utiliza aquí
mismo. Puede ser utilizada para alimentos, para los necesita-
dos, para educación de nuestros jóvenes o para servicios de
otros sectores de nuestra comunidad, pero se queda aquí. Si
tu deseas que tu donativo sea deducido especialmente, pue-
des mencionarlo con una nota y nosotros honraremos tu
deseo. Gracias por toda tu dedicación y por todas tus dona-
ciones. Nuestra parroquia es más fuerte y está más capacita-
da para bregar con las necesidades locales gracias a tus rega-
los.
Allen Hartman,
Gerente de Negocios
Tesoro de Co-Responsabilidad

PREGUNTA DE LA SEMANA:
¿Qué familia en tu parroquia o vecindario necesita animo o
consuelo de tu familia durante esta temporada?
¡ATENCION!
Les pedimos, por su seguridad, cerrar sus
vehículos apropiadamente y no dejar sus per-
tenencias personales (de valor) a la vista del
público. Desafortunadamente, hemos tenido
ya dos incidentes este año, y queremos evitar
que sucedan más ocurrencias en un futuro.
Gracias por su cooperación.
SALVACIÓN EN LA VIDA DIARIA
Este domingo es la fiesta de la Sagrada Familia que cae en
el primer domingo después del Día de Navidad. La fiesta de
hoy celebra cómo la humanidad de Jesús (incluso toda su
familia) ha dado significado salvífico a los quehaceres diarios
de nuestra propia vida familiar.
Las lecturas ofrecen instrucción y aliento sobre cómo com-
partir –dentro de nuestras familias, en la familia de la parro-
quia y en la más amplia familia humana– el amor que Dios
comparte con nosotros en Jesús. Selecciones de Eclesiástico,
del salmo 128 (127), y colosenses nos alientan a ser reflejo
del amor divino y así encontrar la santidad en todas nuestras
relaciones humanas. La lectura del Evangelio según Mateo
ofrece un ejemplo vivo de amor en las medidas que José
tomó para proteger a su joven familia del peligro y para que
creciera dentro de la gran familia de fe de su época.
