WE HAVE MADE THE SWITCH Welcome to the WeShare family! Following this week’s transition, here are several things to keep in mind as you familiarize yourself with WeShare. We take the security of your website seriously. We take the security of the website seriously. Donors’ recurring donations will continue as scheduled. But donors must authenticate their account and email to receive WeShare emails to make any changes to their account or receive WeShare emails. The first time donors enter the system-they will have to go through a onetime validation requiring:

•

Their ParishPay user name The last 4 digits of the bank account or credit card used with ParishPay And ONE of the following two options:

•

• •

Their email address

A collection name and the specific amount donated within the last 6 months For assistance, email [email protected] or call (800) 950-9953 and select Option 1.

NATIONAL NEEDS SPECIAL COLLECTION November 4th and November 5th This weekend, we will be having a special collection for all national needs. This combines the collections for Catholic Campaign for Human Development, the Catholic Communication Campaign, and the Catholic University of America. Please use the envelopes found in the pews to place your donation. We appreciate your contributions and generosity.

ALL SOULS DAY ENVELOPES The month of November is the Month of All Souls. If you wish to remember your faithfully departed at Daily Mass, use the envelope in the pews for this purpose as a gift to honor those who have enriched our lives. We ask you to PRINT the name of your loved ones on the envelope and include your generous donation. You may either place it in the offertory basket or drop off in the Parish Office.

SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA PATIO UPDATES Great news! On November 8th, all bids are due and by November 13th it will finalize the last steps to select a contractor. Our ground breaking ceremony will be on Sunday, November 19th at 4:30pm. God willing, if everything goes well, the construction will start by the end of November. We appreciate all generous donations for the building fund. Please keep praying for MAY 21, 2017 this project as we finalize the construction process.

PRAYER CANDLES Each day, visitors stop in to Santiago de Compostela to light a candle as an act of prayer. Lighting candles has long been a sacred ritual in all traditions, creating precious moments in our lives in which we pray for loved ones, friends, and ask for or give support. If you wish to light a candle (lasts up to 12 hours) in memory of a loved one, to honor a special occasion, or a special intention the suggested donation of candle is $3.00 which can be placed in the designated container by the altar.

REMINDER: Second Collection Procedures Our Sunday Liturgies are central to our life as a Parish Family. Having said so, we try our very best to make the Eucharist flow and have the least distractions as possible. This has always been the direction the Roman Rubrics remind us to implement. I have presided the Liturgy over the last three years here at our parish. During my time here, I have observed the second collection causes distraction by having the baskets being passed around during the Liturgy of the Eucharist especially at the Consecration. This situation prevents both the Presider and the congregation from focusing fully on the mystery unfolding in our presence. Having the basket passed around defeats the purpose behind second collection an encouragement into being more engaged in our solidarity with the beneficiaries in need of our support. It becomes an afterthought instead of a purposeful giving. In an effort to address this liturgical concern and to promote intentional charity, we shall be having a new procedure for the Second Collection which has been approved by the Finance Council and agreed upon in the meeting of the Hospitality Ministers. The procedure is; the basket will only be passed once for both Sunday Offertory and Second Collection donation to be placed. All checks need the beneficiary written on the memo portion. Our diligent money counters will make sure that they are separated and submitted to the Diocese for remittance to the beneficiary. I thank you for being understanding and for your cooperation regarding the enhancement of our Sunday Masses and Liturgies. God bless and take care.

Love and prayers,

Mi Querida Familia Parroquial,

nuestras relaciones no se deshacen con la muerte, sino que se fortalecen debido a que lo que nos une ya no es meramente físico, sino espiritual y amor. Todavía amamos a aquellos que ya no están con nosotros, de ahí la referencia siempre, a "nuestro querido difunto". Ellos viven en nuestros corazones, mentes y recuerdos apreciados. Viven cada MAY vez que somos 21, 2017 influenciados, fortalecidos, inspirados o motivados para hacer algo en su nombre o memoria. Sin embargo, también existe otra relevancia para la Misa del Recuerdo y es para recordarnos que estamos en un viaje hacia la vida eterna. Nos presenta la cruda realidad de que no viviremos para siempre. También enfrentaremos la muerte, el portal a la vida eterna. El viaje de la vida aquí no es más que una preparación para recibir la promesa de felicidad infinita y amor divino en nuestro verdadero hogar en el cielo. Esto es algo que no debemos perder de vista a pesar de las atracciones y el brillo que presenta el mundo. Para luchar por los más altos ideales y valores de la fe viva, la esperanza firme y el amor compartido deben ser lo más importante en nuestras mentes, como nos lo recuerda San Pablo en sus Cartas a varias comunidades cristianas primitivas. Es difícil, pero no estamos solos en nuestros esfuerzos: juntos, como familia de la parroquia, nos esforzamos por recorrer este camino hacia la vida eterna. Recordamos que todos juntos hacemos el esfuerzo de apoyar, ayudar, elevar y alentarnos unos a otros. Dios lo bendiga y cuide.

Dios esté con nosotros siempre.

Amor y oraciones,

My Dearest Parish Family, God be with us always. “You remembered . . . you did not forget . . . you are so thoughtful. . .” These are phrases we would like to hear people say to us or about us. It is a reflection of one’s attitude and behavior to make an effort to value each person we meet and to keep in mind significant events. In life, one of the things feared most is to be forgotten. One is marked by experiences of being left behind, taken for granted and even simply ignored. This weekend, we celebrate the Mass of Remembrance because we would like to reinforce what our faith tells us. Through the gift of life eternal, we believe that our relationships do not unravel with death but rather are strengthened by it because what binds us is no longer merely physical but spiritual and love. We still love those who are no longer with us, hence the reference always, to “our dearly departed.” They live in our hearts, minds and memories cherished. They come alive every time we are influenced, strengthened, inspired or motivated to do something in their name or memory. However, there is also the other relevance to the Mass of Remembrance and that is to remind us that we are in a journey towards eternal life. It presents to us the stark reality that we will not live forever. We will also face death – the portal to eternal life. The journey of life here is merely a preparation to receive the promise of infinite bliss and divine love in our true home in heaven. This is something we should not lose sight of despite the attractions and glitter that the world presents. To strive for the highest ideals and values of living faith, firm hope and shared love should be foremost in our minds as St. Paul reminds us in his Letters to several early Christian Communities. It is hard but we are not alone in our efforts – we together as a

Es un reflejo de la actitud y el comportamiento nuestro de esforzarse por valorar a cada persona que conocemos y tener en cuenta los eventos significativos.

Este fin de semana, celebramos la Misa del Recuerdo porque queremos reforzar lo que nuestra fe nos dice. A través del regalo de la vida eterna, creemos que

BIBLE STUDY In Acts 6:1-7, Luke tells us about a crisis and a solution in the early Christian community. “At that time, as the number of disciples continued to grow, the Hellenists (Greek speaking communities) complained against the Hebrews (Aramaic speaking Jews) because their widows were being neglected in the daily distribution.” A decision was made by the 12 and other disciples of the community to increase the “staff” to take care of the problem thus allowing the Apostles to continue with the spreading of the Good News of Jesus the Christ and increasing the number of new church members. Meetings: Wednesdays from 9:00am-11:15am or 7:00pm-9:00pm in Santiago Parish Center. For further information contact Nancy 949-766-8126 or Barb 949-768-1170.

Velas de Oración Cada día, los visitantes se detienen en Santiago de Compostela para encender una vela como un acto de oración. La iluminación de las velas ha sido durante mucho tiempo un ritual sagrado en todas las tradiciones, creando momentos preciosos en nuestras vidas en los que oramos por nuestros seres queridos, amigos y pedimos por ellos o damos nuestro apoyo. Si desea encender una vela (dura hasta 12 horas) en memoria de un ser querido, para honrar una ocasión especial o una intención especial, la donación sugerida de la vela es de $3.00, que puede ser colocada en el contenedor designado junto al altar.

RECORDATORIO: PROCEDIMIENTO DE COLECTA ESPECIAL Nuestras liturgias dominicales son fundamentales para nuestra vida como Familia Parroquial. Habiendo dicho esto, hacemos todo lo posible por hacer fluir la Eucaristía y tener la menor distracción posible. Esta ha sido siempre la dirección que las Rúbricas Romanas nos recuerdan implementar. He presidido la Liturgia durante los últimos tres años aquí en nuestra parroquia. Durante mi estancia aquí, he observado que la segunda colecta causa distracción al hacer pasar las canastas durante la “Liturgia de la Eucaristía”, especialmente durante la Consagración. Esta situación impide que tanto el Oficiante como la congregación se enfoquen plenamente en el Misterio que se desarrolla en nuestra presencia. El pasar la canasta desvía el propósito detrás de la segunda colecta , el cual es un estímulo para estar más comprometido en nuestra solidaridad con los beneficiarios que necesitan nuestro apoyo. Se convierte en una reflexión tardía en lugar de un don deliberado. En un esfuerzo por dirigir esta preocupación litúrgica y promover la caridad intencional, tendremos un nuevo procedimiento para la Segunda Colecta que ha sido aprobado por el Consejo de Finanzas y acordado en la reunión de los Ministros de Hospitalidad. El procedimiento es; la canasta sólo pasará una vez para colocar el donativo del domingo y la donación de la segunda colecta. Todos los cheques necesitan que el beneficiario esté escrito en la porción del memorándum. Nuestros diligentes contadores de dinero se asegurarán de que estén separados y sometidos a la Diócesis para su remesa al beneficiario. Les agradezco su comprensión y su cooperación con respecto a la mejoría de nuestras Misas y Liturgias dominicales. Dios los bendiga y cuide.

Fr. Thomas

¿TE HAS PUESTO A PENSAR? Hace unos meses me encontré con un joven que asiste a una iglesia cristiana en Lake Forest. Durante la conversación le pregunté, por qué le gustaba ir a esa iglesia y me contestó que le gustaba esa iglesia porque podía ir vestido casualmente: “así como ando vestido me contestó, con shorts, camiseta y chanclas”. Le contesté: bueno… para nosotros los católicos es diferente. Para nosotros, asistir a Misa es como ir a una fiesta, es como ir a un banquete. Y para ir a un banquete se tiene que vestir de la forma apropiada. Le seguí diciendo, si te invitaran a la Casa Blanca a cenar con el presidente de los Estados Unidos, estoy seguro que te irías vestido de diferente manera. ¡Claro que si!, me contestó. O si fueras a la corte a ver a un Juez, no podría ir con shorts y chanclas, el guardia que está allí, no te dejaría entrar. Tampoco irías a la playa en traje de gala. Para no alargarle mucho lo que quería decirle, concluí así: en este banquete, la Misa, tenemos un encuentro con el Rey de Reyes y Señor de Señores. Luego de un rato me dijo: “ME HAS PUESTO A PENSAR, tienes razón, nunca lo había visto de esta manera”. Padres de familia, espero que cuando lean ésto, también se PONGAN A PENSAR. Les pido que cuiden que ustedes y sus hijos vengan vestidos de una manera apropiada a la Santa Misa. Mi invitación es a que ¡Vengan al Banquete de Cristo, con lo mejor que tengan! ¡Dios te bendiga! Diácono Humberto Ramirez

Las imágenes permanecerán en la iglesia para oración y veneración

Exhibición Mariana Diciembre 8 al 19, 2017 Desde diciembre del 2014, nuestra exhibición mariana de Adviento, ha crecido y se ha engalanado con varias piezas de arte e imágenes de nuestra Santísima Madre, representando sus muchas advocaciones. Estas piezas son de las colecciones privadas de feligreses de Santiago. Este año la exposición será en el salón A del Parish Hall. Te invitamos a que si tienes alguna imagen, cuadro o estatua de la Virgen María y quieres compartirla con la comunidad la traigas para que sea parte de nuestra exhibición.
