WALKWAY CROSSES

Each cross in the walkway between the two worship sites represents a year since the 1973 Roe vs. Wade decision by the United States Supreme Court that legalized abor-tion. Let us continue to pray for all those involved: dis-cerning legislators, pregnant women in crisis, and chil-dren who were not given a chance for a future. 3

CRUZES EN LA PASARELA

Cada cruz en la pasarela entre los dos sitios de adoración representa un año desde la decisión de Roe vs. Wade de 1973 por la Corte Suprema de los Estados Unidos que legalizó el aborto. Sigamos orando por todos los involu-crados: legisladores, mujeres embarazadas en crisis y niños a quienes no se les dio la oportunidad de un futuro.

DID YOU KNOW? Children and Youth Programs implemented throughout the Archdiocese of LA Published on 9/24/2018 Every year, students at Catholic elementary and high schools, religious education, confirmation and youth ministry programs in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles receive age-appropriate child abuse prevention and re-porting training. The “Empowering God’s Children Pro-gram” is designed for Kindergarten through 12th grade students. This program teaches children and young peo-ple to understand appropriate and inappropriate bounda-ries and gives them the tools that empower them to take action and report if they feel uncomfortable, scared or confused. More than 1.4 million students have attended these programs since 2004. For more information, visit: http://www.la-archdiocese.org/org/protecting/safeguard/Pages/education.aspx

THANK YOU! ¡GRACIAS!

Offertory Gift Procession

If anyone want to help bring up the Offertory gifts, a couple, an individual, a family, everyone is welcome, especially those who have sponsored a Mass intention. Please see an usher 15 minutes before the start of Mass. For more in-formation please call 626-287-0094.

Procesión de las Ofrendas

Si alguien quiere ayudar a mostrar las ofrendas en la misa ya sea, una pareja, un individuo, una fami-lia, todos son bienvenidos, especialmente aquellos que han patrocinado una intención de misa. Por favor, Consulte a un ujier 15 minutos antes del inicio de la Misa.

Para aquellos de nosotros que leemos nuestro boletín cui-dadosamente, vemos que no hemos cumplido con el monto presupuestado para Ofertorio desde que llegó el nuevo equi-po pastoral. Necesitamos $15,000 por semana en el Ofertorio para poder ofrecer los servicios y programas a los que se ha acostumbrado. Desde que llegué, el Ofertorio ha estado ha-ciendo un promedio de $11,500 por semana; este fin de se-mana pasado bajó a un mínimo histórico de $ 10,700, que es solo el 71% de lo que necesitamos. El Equipo Pastoral y el Consejo Financiero han presenta-do un plan de tres puntos para abordar este desafío. Durante el mes de octubre, presentaremos un nuevo y mejorado siste-ma de donaciones en línea. Ahora podrá ir a la página de inicio de nuestro sitio web para registrarse. Las donaciones en línea incluyen pagos con tarjeta de crédito y retiro directo de su cuenta de cheques. ¡Usted decide la cantidad que le gustaría dar cada semana o mes, complete el formulario y nosotros haremos lo demas! También puede usar las dona-ciones en línea para regalos de una sola vez. El 21 de octubre, los miembros del Equipo Pastoral visi-tarán cada Misa, para darle las gracias por su generosidad pasada, y le pedirá que en oración considere aumentar su contribución al Ofertorio. Ya sea que entregue $ 3 o $ 30 por semana, todos nosotros necesitaremos aumentar nuestras donaciones para cumplir con nuestro presupuesto. Una bue-na forma de examinar nuestra donación puede ser comparar-la con cuánto dinero gastamos en entretenimiento, bebidas alcohólicas o incluso café cada semana. Y finalmente, el fin de semana del 28/29 de octubre, ten-dremos un Domingo de Compromiso. En las Misas se le pe-dirá que se comprometa, por escrito, con una contribución del Ofertorio en el futuro. Las tarjetas de compromiso están diseñadas de tal manera que sabremos quién hizo las prome-sas, pero no sabremos cuánto prometieron. Nuestro objetivo es doble: recopilar información actual sobre nuestros feligre-ses actuales y ver cuánto podemos esperar en las próximas semanas. No habrá seguimiento para controlar si usted es fiel a su compromiso. Este es un sistema de honor, y apreciamos que a veces las circunstancias cambian y las mejores inten-ciones no se pueden cumplir. Aunque es incómodo abordar cuestiones de dinero tan temprano en mi mandato, sé que es necesario, algunos po-drían decir crucial, para nuestro futuro. Gracias de nuevo por su generosidad en el pasado. ¡Estoy seguro de que juntos podemos enfrentar este desafío por el bien de la Misión! Paz, P. John

For those of us who read our bulletin carefully, we see that we have not met the budgeted amount for Offertory since the new pastoral team arrived. We need $15,000 per week in the Offertory in order to offer the services and programs that you have become accustomed to. Since I arrived, the Offertory has been averaging about $11,500 per week; this past weekend it dipped to an all-time low of $10,700—which is only 71% of what we need. The Pastoral Team and the Finance Council have come up with a three-point plan to address this challenge. During the month of October, we will introduce a new and improved on-line giving system. You will now be able to go to our website home page to register. On-line giving includes both credit card payments and direct with-drawal from your checking account. You decide the amount you would like to give each week or month, fill out the form, and we do the rest! You can also use on-line giving for one-time gifts. On October 21, members of the Pastoral Team will visit every Mass, to thank you for your past generosity, and ask you to prayerfully consider increasing your con-tribution to the Offertory. Whether you give $3 or $30 a week, it will take all of us to increase our giving in order to meet our budget. A good way to examine our giving might to be compare it with how much money we spend on entertainment, alcoholic beverages, or even coffee each week. And finally on the weekend of October 28/29, we will have Commitment Sunday. At the Masses you will be asked to commit, in writing, to an Offertory contribution going forward. The commitment cards are designed in such a way that we will know who made pledges, but will not know how much they pledged. Our goal is twofold: to collect current information on our current parishioners and to see how much we can expect in the following weeks. There will be no follow-up to monitor if you are being faithful to your pledge. This is an honor system--and we appreciate that sometimes circumstances change and best intentions cannot be met. Although it is uncomfortable to address money issues so early in my tenure, I know it is necessary, some might say crucial, for our future. Thank you again for your generosity in the past. I am confident that together we can meet this challenge for the good of the Mission! Peace, Fr. John

FAITH FORMATION UPDATES 626-988-9288 Connie Perez, Georgina Mayorga

Faith Formation Corner

Three Ways to Walk Jesus’ Path The magnificence of Heaven is simply beyond our com-pression. Our limited minds can’t imagine how amazing it is. Jesus came to tell us about it and show us how to get there. He hoped we would follow in His footsteps and do what he did. Serve others with love, Jesus asked us to love one an-other as he did. Some of the ways He showed love were to treat strangers kindly, tend to the material needs of the needy, lend an attentive ear, help people make good virtuous decisions that bring them closer to God. Try to show love in these ways daily. Lighten your load. Not only did Jesus have few materi-al goods, He sent His disciples out to preach with al-most nothing. He didn’t want them - or us - to get dis-tracted, Jesus knew that the more we have, the more we’d think about our stuff and the less we’d think about God. Consider shedding what you don’t need and buy-ing only items that replace what is worn out or broken. Give the money you save to a favorite charity. Quiet Down. Jesus frequently went off to be alone with God. Take some quiet time each day just to keep com-pany with God. Even spending as few as 15 minutes a day with God in silence will bring you peace. *************************************************

PROGRAMAS DE FORMACION DE FE

Tres formas de caminar en el camino de Jesús La magnificencia del Cielo simplemente está más allá de nuestra compresión. Nuestras mentes limitadas no pueden imaginar lo increíble que es. Jesús vino a con-tarnos sobre eso y nos mostró cómo llegar allí. Espe-raba que sigamos sus pasos y hagamos lo que hizo. Sirve a los demás con amor, Jesús nos pidió que nos amemos como él lo hizo. Algunas de las formas en que mostró amor fueron tratar amablemente a los extraños, atender las necesidades materiales de los necesitados, prestar atención, ayudar a las personas a tomar buenas decisiones virtuosas que los acerquen a Dios. Intenta mostrar amor de esta manera a diario. Aligera tu carga. Jesús no solo tenía pocos bienes materiales, sino que envió a sus discípulos a predicar sin casi nada. No quería que ellos, o nosotros, se dis-traigan, Jesús sabía que cuanto más tengamos, más pensaríamos en nuestras cosas y menos pensaríamos en Dios. Considere desechar lo que no necesita y comprar solo artículos que reemplacen lo que está gastado o roto. Dé el dinero que ahorra a una obra de caridad favorita. Tranquilizarse. Jesús frecuentemente se fue a estar a solas con Dios. Tómese un tiempo tranquilo todos los días solo para estar en compañía de Dios. Incluso pasar tan solo 15 minutos al día con Dios en silencio te traerá paz. ******************************************

San Gabriel Mission Elementary School Cooking Up Some “FUN” in Transitional Kindergarten

Mrs. Breitschwerdt and her “little chefs” have been “cooking up” some delicious food and snacks as Mission Elementary kicks off a new after school cooking class. Our students may think that they are just having fun, but really it helps to lay the foundation for basic math concepts, developing healthy eat-ing habits and learning the concept of sequencing by following the various steps of recipes. We love and appreci-ate our wonderful teachers and staff who share their knowledge, talents and skills and enable Mission Elementary to create a nurturing, fun and educational space for our students.
