FROM FATHER CHUCK’S DESK This Thursday the Church celebrates the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a
special feast and holy day of obligation that stems back deep into our history. While the dogmatic teaching wasn't formalized until 1950 by Pope Pius XII, the belief is ancient that Mary's death (often called the "dormition" or "falling asleep") was different than that of any other human being. Since her body bore the Son of God and she remained virtuous and chaste her whole life, it was believed from the early foundations of Christianity that her body was kept from the normal decay of human life and preserved into heaven. In addi-tion to our usual 7:00 AM & 12:10 PM Thursday Masses, we’ll have a 6:00 PM bilingual Mass. All Masses on this special day will be celebrated in honor of our Blessed Mother Mary. I hope all will take advantage of this time to pray and reflect upon her gift in our lives and the gift of the faith tradition we share.
Backing up in the week a bit, there will be a special Interfaith Vigil in Solidarity and Honor offered in front of the Thompson Federal Building on Monday, August 12th at 5:30 PM, for all victims of gun violence, those who were wounded or have died in the 8 mass shootings in the past 12 months. 79 innocent lives have been taken, in addition to the lives of the shooters. The causes vary & are complex, but surely involve hatred, mental illness and extremism. All are welcome to this time of prayer in solidarity with all who are in-jured and have lost loved ones and in demonstration of mutual respect and honor for human life.
Another important vigil will be happening at the end of September into October. 40 Days for Life is a na-tional program that focuses a consistent prayer vigil for 40 days & nights in a concerted effort to end abor-tion. Neville Bonwit is organizing this effort in the area, which will take place near the West End Women’s Medical Group. This is a peaceful, prayerful presence and not intended to be confrontational beyond the prayer itself. All faith communities around the city are invited to participate by committing to a time/day to be present in the vigil at the site. If you are interested in learning more or can help out, please leave your name and contact info in the Parish Office.
Last Sunday afternoon about 20 of us gathered to have a Community Conversation to try to name our shared values and some of the tough issues facing our greater community and nation. I think it was a very worthwhile discussion, helping to identify and share struggles and hopes as well as what we might ask of our elected leaders. These conversations are being held in various faith communities in our area and, I suspect, many of the same issues, struggles and hopes will be identified. I would like to hold another of these conver-sations in Righini Hall next Sunday, August 18th at 1:00 PM. Let me know if you are interested in participat-ing by registering in the Parish Office, please be sure to leave your name and contact info.
I’m happy to introduce James Rizza, our new RCIA Director (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults). James has been a member of the parish for several years and is a Lector at the 7:30 AM Mass. He has a master’s degree in theology from Immaculate Conception Seminary School of Theology, Seton Hall University, and a Licentiate in Sacred Theology from the International Theological Institute in Austria. James has directed the RCIA process in the past in other parishes and is excited to be doing so again. Welcome aboard, James! If you or someone you know would like to pursue becoming Catholic or is already baptized Catholic but in need of the other sacraments of initiation (Confirmation or Holy Eucharist) please contact the parish office. The RCIA process will continue in September.
Blessings to All this 19th Week in Ordinary Time!
DEL ESCRITORIO DEL PADRE CHUCK Este Jueves la Iglesia celebra la Solemnidad de la Asunción de la Santísima Virgen María, fiesta es-
pecial y día de obligación que se remonta profundamente en nuestra historia. Aunque la enseñanza dog-mática no fue formalizada hasta 1950 por el Papa Pío XII, la creencia antigua de que la muerte de María (a menudo llamada la "dormición" o "quedarse dormida") era diferente a la de cualquier otro ser humano. Da-do que su cuerpo cargó al Hijo de Dios y ella permaneció virtuosa y casta toda su vida, se creía desde los principios del cristianismo que su cuerpo se mantenía libre de deterioro normal de la vida humana y se pre-servaba en el cielo. Además de nuestras Misas habituales del Jueves a las 7:00 AM y 12:10 PM, tendre-mos una Misa bilingüe a las 6:00 PM. Todas las Misas en este día serán celebradas en honor de nuestra Santísima Madre María. Espero que todos aprovechen este tiempo para orar y reflexionar sobre el don de María Santísima en nuestras vidas y el don de la tradición de fe que compartimos.
Regresando un poco en la semana, habrá una Vigilia Especial Interreligiosa en Solidaridad y Honor ofrecida frente al Edificio Federal Thompson el Lunes 12 de Agosto a las 5:30 PM, por todas las víctimas de violencia armada, aquellos que fueron heridos o han muerto en los 8 tiroteos en los últimos 12 meses. 79 vidas inocentes han sido tomadas, además de las vidas de los tiradores. Las causas varían y son comple-jas, pero seguramente involucran odio, enfermedades mentales y extremismo. Todos son bienvenidos a este momento de oración en solidaridad con todos los lesionados y quienes han perdido a sus seres queri-dos y en manifestación de respeto mutuo y honor por la vida humana.
Otra importante vigilia tendrá lugar a finales de Septiembre hasta Octubre. 40 Días por la Vida es un programa nacional que enfoca constante oración durante 40 días y noches en un esfuerzo proyectado para poner fin al aborto. Neville Bonwit está organizando este esfuerzo en el área de Reno, que tendrá lugar cer-ca del West End Women's Medical Group. Se trata de una presencia pacífica en oración y más allá de la oración misma, no tiene la intención de ser polémica. Se invita a todas las comunidades religiosas de la ciudad a participar comprometiéndose a una hora/día para estar presentes en oración en el sitio. Si usted está interesado en aprender más o puede ayudar, por favor deje su información en la Oficina Parroquial.
El Domingo pasado, nos reunimos aproximadamente 20 personas para tener una Conversación Comu-nitaria para compartir nuestros valores e intentar nombrar algunos de los problemas difíciles que enfrenta nuestra comunidad y nación. Creo que la reunión valió la pena, ayudando a identificar y compartir las lu-chas y esperanzas, así como lo que podríamos requerir de nuestros líderes electos. Estas conversaciones se están llevando a cabo en varias comunidades religiosas de nuestra área y, sospecho, se identificarán muchos de los mismos problemas, luchas y esperanzas. Me gustaría celebrar otra de estas conversaciones en el Righini Hall el próximo Domingo 18 de Agosto, a la 1:00 PM. Si usted está interesado en participar en esta Conversación Comunitaria, comuníquese a la Oficina Parroquial y deje su nombre y # de teléfono.
Me complace anunciar que James Rizza es nuestro nuevo Director de RCIA (Rito de Iniciación Cristiana para Adultos). James ha sido miembro de la parroquia durante varios años y es Lector en la Misa de las 7:30 AM. Él tiene una maestría en teología del Seminario de Teología de La Inmaculada Concepción, la Universidad Seton Hall, y una Licenciatura en Teología Sagrada del Instituto Teológico Internacional en Austria. James ha dirigido el proceso de RCIA en el pasado en otras parroquias y está emocionado de ha-cerlo de nuevo. ¡Bienvenido James! Si usted o alguien que conoce desea convertirse a la religión católica o ya es bautizado católico, pero necesita los otros sacramentos de iniciación (Confirmación o Eucaristía), póngase en contacto con la Oficina Parroquial. El proceso de RCIA continuará en Septiembre.
¡Bendiciones a Todos en Esta XIX Semana en el Tiempo Ordinario!

ENTRADA Creo en Jesús, creo en Jesús, Él es mi amigo, es mi alegría,
Él es mi amor; creo en Jesús, creo en Jesús, Él es mi Salvador.
1- El llamó a mi puerta, me invito a compartir su heredad; seguiré a su lado, llevaré su mensaje de paz.
2- Ayudó al enfermo y le trajo la felicidad; defendió al humilde, combatió la mentira y el mal.
3- Dia y noche, creo en Jesús, Él está a mi lado, creo en Jesús, sigo sus palabras, creo en Jesús, doy por Él la vida, creo en Jesús, es mi Salvador.
4- Enseñó a Zaqueo a partir su hacienda y su pan; alabó a la viuda porque dio cuanto pudo ella dar.
5- Aleluya, creo en Jesús, Él es el Mesías, creo en Jesús, Él es mi esperanza, creo en Jesús, vive para siempre, creo en Jesús, es mi Salvador.
SALMO Dichoso el pueblo a quien Dios escogió.
OFERTORIO 1. Sencillamente hermoso, sencillamente grande. Su amor esplendoroso llenó todo mi ser.
Él hizo cielo y tierra, llenó ríos y mares y a su misma imagen, con amor me formo.
A cambio de nada, a cambio de nada, a cambio de nada, Oh Señor, fue a cambio de nada. (2)
2. Después de haberme creado y con su amor formado su Espíritu me ha dado y ahora soy feliz. El derramo su sangre en esa Cruz bendita, he sido liberado, ya no hay condenación.
COMUNIÓN 1 – Ya no eres pan y vino. Ahora que eres Cuerpo y Sangre, vives en mí. De Rodillas yo caigo al contemplar tu bondad, como no te voy a adorar.
Mientras te pierdes en mis labios, tu gracia va inundando todo mi corazón. Por esa paz que me llena de alegría mi ser, como no te voy a adorar.
Señor Jesús, mi Salvador, amor eterno, amor divino. **Ya no falta nada, lo tengo todo, te tengo a ti. ** (2)
2 -Dueño y Rey del universo, como puede ser posible que busques mi amor. Tú tan grande y yo pequeño. Y te fijas en mí, como no te voy a adorar.
De rodillas yo te pido, que en el día cuando Tú me llames, sea como hoy, para mirarte a los ojos y poderte decir, como no te voy a adorar.
SALIDA Somos un pueblo que camina y junto caminando podemos alcanzar otra ciudad que no se acaba,
sin penas ni tristezas; ciudad de eternidad.
Somos un pueblo que camina, que marcha por el mundo buscando otra ciudad. Somos errantes peregrinos, en busca de un destino, destino de unidad.
siempre seremos caminantes, pues solo caminando podremos alcanzar otra ciudad que no se acaba, sin penas ni tristezas; ciudad de eternidad.
Sufren los hombres mis hermanos, buscando entre las piedras la parte de su pan. Sufren los hombres oprimidos, los hombres que no tienen ni paz ni libertad.
Sufren los hombres mis hermanos, mas tu vienes con ellos y en ti alcanzaran otra ciudad que no se acaba, sin penas ni tristezas; ciudad de eternidad.
