PASTOR’S COLUMN
Dear Community of Our Lady of Perpetual Help,
We begin a new Liturgical Year today. It is a time for a new beginning in all the areas of our life. Let us ask God to help us truly celebrate all the mysteries of
the life of Christ, open to all the graces coming to us. Advent calls us to cele-brate the coming of God to us. The Lord visits us, always, He wants to be one
with us now and forever.
“You must be prepared… for at an hour you do not expect… the Son of Man will come…” Matthew
We prepare ourselves for the visits of God by spending time in prayer and serv-ing our brothers and sisters. During the next two weekends, we will be doing
our in-pew call to support our Capital Campaign, Called to Renew. We will ask all to make a 5 year pledge to support the renewal of all our facilities, so our parish may continue to minister to all for many years. God give us a generous heart, as we prepare to celebrate the gift He has given us, the child Jesus, Our
Savior.
“Show us, Lord your love… and grant us your salvation…” Psalm 85

Children in sports are at risk for head injuries
Sports are a great way for children to burn off energy, learn about teamwork, and stay active and healthy. But some sports come with risks, including head injuries. Football is an especially high-risk sport for these types of injuries, given the nature of the game. If your child wants to play contact sports, make sure he or she does so safely. Provide proper safety equipment that fits. Check helmets and protective gear periodically to ensure that all are still working. Talk to coaches and referees about regular safe-ty checks for fields and team equipment as well.
For more information about “Sports and Head Injuries,” vis-it http://www.la-archdiocese.org/org/protecting/Pages/VIRTUS-Current-Online-Articles.aspx.
Our parish and school have endowed us with
wonderful spiritual blessings. Many of us have received the sacraments of Bap sm, First Communion, and Confir-ma on. Others have exchanged wed-ding vows, and some have bid farewell to a loved one here in the comfort of our spiritual home. Our parish plays a vital role throughout our lives. Just as we now benefit from the generosity of those who came before us, we, too, are “called to renew” our Church to ensure future genera ons can encounter Christ and have a conducive place to worship and receive a Catholic educa on. Therefore, I am pleased to announce the par cipa on of our parish’s Called to Renew campaign and invite you to consider God’s many blessings in your life, our parish, and the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. I hope you will join me in suppor ng this historic campaign, and I thank you for your faithful support of our parish.
-Rev. Msgr. Lorenzo

The school was not in session for the week of Thanksgiv-ing. We celebrated as a commu-nity by having a Thanksgiving
Word service prior to going on break. Looking ahead to December, the school will be filled with activities such as the Downey Education Foundation Christ-mas Gala, school Christmas program and marching in the Downey parade.
FIRST FRIDAY OF THE MONTH CHILDREN EUCHARISTIC ADORATION
We invite all children to spend time with our Lord. We will lead the children in the prayer of the Most Holy Rosary, before the Blessed Sacrament.
WHEN: 12/6 First Friday of the month WHERE: Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church TIME: 6:00 pm - 6:30 pm *Parents must stay
*Attention parents, attending this event will count as a make-up for your child for an absence or missed meeting. You must sign in to receive credit. Parents must stay with their child.
We are called to reflect the light of God’s love through the ways in which we live our lives. Imagine the impact if each of us took this call to heart, every day, at home, work, or school, in our parish, in the world. “All nations shall stream toward it,” toward the love that only comes from God. Yet, we must admit that much of the time we fail to be beacons of God’s light. We fall asleep, compla-cent, preferring to go the easy route, which often leads to darkness rather than the radiance of Christ’s light. As we begin the season of Advent, Saint Paul admonishes us to throw off the works of darkness, to awaken to the call of light and love. In today’s Gospel, Jesus too tells us to stay awake, to be prepared to greet the Lord of light as people of the light.
ICYMI Those who use social media or read news reports online are familiar with ICYMI, which is shorthand for “in case you missed it.” We might think of today’s readings as an “in case you missed it” announcement for these early days of Advent. We often think of Advent as the season that precedes Christmas, all about waiting and longing for the coming of the Christ child, which it is. Yet in the ear-ly weeks of Advent, we focus on the return of Christ at the end of time, and how we are called to be prepared for it. Most of us do not spend much time thinking about the end of time or the prospect of Christ’s return in glory. We may not want to admit to ourselves that our actions or attitudes are far from the ways in which we know we should conduct ourselves as Christian people. Or maybe we are uncomfortable with the whole idea of final judg-ment. It makes us squirm, so we adopt an attitude of “out of sight, out of mind,” and go about our daily lives with-out much thought or reflection on who we are called to be as disciples of our Lord.
Estamos llamados a reflejar la luz del amor de Dios a través de las formas en que vivimos nuestra vida. Imagínese el im-pacto si cada uno de nosotros tomara este llamado a cora-zón, todos los días, en casa, en el trabajo o en la escuela, en nuestra parroquia, en el mundo. "Todas las naciones corre-ran hacia ella", hacia el amor que sólo viene de Dios. Sin embargo, debemos admitir que la mayor parte del tiempo no somos faros de la luz de Dios. Nos quedamos dormidos, complacientes, prefiriendo seguir el camino fácil, que a menudo conduce a la oscuridad en lugar del resplandor de la luz de Cristo. Al comenzar el tiempo de Adviento, san Pablo nos exhorta a desechar las obras de las tinieblas, a despertar a la llamada de la luz y del amor. En el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús también nos dice que permanezcamos despiertos, que estemos preparados para saludar al Señor de la luz como pueblo de la luz.
STP Hay tantas abreviaturas usadas en las redes sociales que solo toman las primeras letras de las palabras de la frase, una de esas es STP que algunas personas la interpretan como Se Te Pasó. Podríamos considerar que las lecturas de hoy como un anuncio de “se te pasó” en los primeros días de Adviento. A menudo pensamos del Adviento como el tiempo que pre-cede al de la Navidad, todo acerca de esperar y anhelo por la venida de Jesús como niño, y así es. Aunque en las primeras semanas de Adviento nos enfocamos en el regreso de Jesús al final de los tiempos, y cómo somos llamados a estar preparados para ello. Muchos de nosotros no pasamos mucho tiempo pensando acerca del final de los tiempos o la expectativa de la gloria del regreso de Jesucristo. Quizá no queremos admitir que nuestras acciones o actitudes están muy lejos de las maneras en las que sabemos debemos comportarnos como personas que siguen las enseñanzas de Jesús. O quizá estamos inco-modos con la idea del juicio final. Nos hace avergonzarnos, así que adoptamos una actitud de “ojos que no ven, corazón que no siente” y vivimos nuestras vidas diarias sin mucho que pensar o reflexionar en quienes estamos llamados a ser discípulos de nuestro Señor.
COLUMNA DEL PASTOR Querida Comunidad de Nuestra Señora del Perpetuo Socorro,
Empezamos un nuevo Año Litúrgico hoy. Es tiempo para un nuevo empezar
en todas las areas de la vida. Pidamos a Dios que nos ayude a verdaderamente celebrar todos los misterioso de la vida de Cristo, abiertos a todas las gracias que vendrán sobre nosotros. El Adviento nos llama a celebrar la venida de Dios. El Se-
ñor nos visita, siempre, El quiere estar con nosotros ahora y para siempre.
“Estén preparados… porque a la hora que menos lo piensan… vendrá el Hijo del Hombre…” Mateo
Nos preparamos para las visitas de Dios orando y sirviendo a los hermanos y her-manas. Durante los dos siguientos fines de semana, estaremos pidiendoles a to-dos a apoyar a La Campaña, Llamados a Renovar. Les pediremos que hagan un compromiso por 5 años apoyando la renovación de todas las instalaciones de la
parroquia. Así, la parroquia podrá seguir ofreciendo ministerios por muchos años. Dios nos dio un corazón generoso, al preparanos a celebrar el regalo que Dios
nos ha dado, en El Niño Jesus, Nuestro Salvador.
“Múestranos, Señor, tu Misericordio y danos tu Salvación…” Salmo 85

Los niños que hacen deporte corren el riesgo de sufrir heridas o golpes en la cabeza
Los deportes son una gran forma para que los niños quemen energía, aprendan trabajo en equipo y permanezcan activos y saludables. Pero algunos deportes conllevan riesgos, in-cluyendo heridas y golpes en la cabeza. El futbol americano es uno de los deportes de alto riesgo por la frecuencia de este tipo de daños, dada la naturaleza del deporte. Si su hijo o hija quiere practicar deportes de contacto, asegúrese de que él o ella lo hagan siguiendo medidas de seguridad. Pro-porcióneles el equipo de seguridad y uniforme apropiado que se ajuste a sus medidas. Periódicamente, revise los cas-cos y el equipo de protección para asegurarse que están fun-cionando bien. Hable con los entrenadores y árbitros sobre la revisión regular de la seguridad en los campos de juego y
de los uniformes y equipo de los jugadores. Para mas información sobre “Deportes y heridas o gol-pes de la cabeza”, visite http://www.la-archdiocese.org/org/protecting/Pages/VIRTUS-Current-Online-Articles.aspx.

Nuestra parro-quia y nuestra escuela nos han otorgado maravillosas bendiciones espiri-tuales. Muchos de nosotros hemos recibido los sacramentos del Bau smo, de la Prime-ra Comunión y de la Confirmación aquí. Otros han celebrado su boda y algunos se han despedido de un ser querido aquí den-tro del consuelo de su hogar espiritual. Nuestra Parroquia desempeña un papel esencial a lo largo de toda nuestra vida. Así como ahora nosotros nos beneficiamos gracias a la generosidad de aquellos que estuvieron aquí antes que nosotros, noso-tros también estamos “llamados a renovar” a nuestra Iglesia para garan zar que las generaciones futuras puedan encontrarse con Cristo y tener un espacio apropiado para darle culto a Dios y para recibir una educación católica. Por lo tanto, me com-place anunciarles el par cipación de la campaña Llamados a Renovar en nuestra parroquia y los invito a considerar las mu-chas bendiciones de Dios en su vida, en nuestra parroquia y en la Arquidiócesis de Los Ángeles. Espero que se unan a mí para apoyar a esta campaña histó-rica y les agradezco su fiel apoyo a nuestra parroquia.
