Even Better Sound at St. Rita!
Why We’re Still Raising Money!
�
Thank you for all you gave toward the new sound system! We were truly
blessed by your response. Now we enjoy a much better sound system,
allowing more people to hear better. Thank you! But we’re not done! Soon,
we hope to replace the carpet (it needs replacing!), but as we do, we’d like
to investigate the possibility of installing a hearing loop under the carpet.
We’re also looking at implementing other features to improve the
experience for members with hearing difficulties. We’d love to offer a better
sound experience for all the members of our Parish. It just takes money.�
�
So, if you’d STILL like to contribute, please donate online or drop a check in
the collection plate (put “New Sound System” in the memo line). If you have
any other questions or comments, please contact the Parish Business
Office. Thanks for your help!�

“I will gather them from the ends of the world…” -Jeremiah 31:8
It’s why the first word of our vision statement for the Parish is
“Gather.” Because it’s what God does; it’s what he’s been doing
since the beginning.
Put very simply: God created us all; and so, therefore, his purpose
is to redeem us all. And he redeems us through love, which is why
fellowship is so important. Because we can show love and experi-
ence love only with another, not in isolation. Love by its nature
involves the other, binding us together. Love is how God brings us
together into what Jesus called the “kingdom” and the “Church.”
And again, it’s love meant for all—because God is the creator of all.
Which is why we gather in everything we do. It’s why we invite you
to worship with us, to join us in ministry, to come here even just
to hang out. Because gathering is what God does, and it’s what we
do too!
And so, this week, gather! Gather here, gather your friends, gather
someone new. Be part of God’s mission, a part of
this great Parish!
Pax

The Sunday morning Bible study meets weekly throughout the year

other gospel gives us so much insight into the workings of the mind of
the Lord who was true God, but also true man.�

We have a growing group that asks a lot of quesNons and does a lot of
discussion, and we would love to have you join us. There’s coffee at

Los congrego desde los confines de la tierra ..." -Jeremías 31: 8
Es por eso que la primera palabra de nuestra declaración de
visión de la parroquia es "Congregar, reunir". Porque es lo que
Dios hace; es lo que ha estado haciendo desde el principio.
En pocas palabras: Dios nos creó a todos; y así, por lo tanto, su
propósito es redimirnos a todos. Y él nos redime a través del
amor, la razón por la que la comunión es tan importante.
Porque podemos mostrar amor y experimentar el amor solo con
otro, no en aislamiento. El amor por su naturaleza involucra al
otro, uniéndonos. El amor es la forma en que Dios nos une en lo
que Jesús llamó el "reino" y la "Iglesia". Y nuevamente, el amor es
para todos, porque Dios es el creador de todo.
Por eso nos reunimos en todo lo que hacemos. Es por eso que lo
invitamos a adorar con nosotros, a unirse a nosotros en el
ministerio, a estar aquí solo para pasar el rato. ¡Porque congregar
es lo que Dios hace, y es lo que nosotros también hacemos!
Y así, esta semana, se congregan, ser reúnen!
Congrégate aquí, reúne a tus amigos, reúne a
alguien nuevo. ¡Se parte de la misión de Dios,
parte de esta gran parroquia.
Paz,
Padre Joshua

La Sagrada Biblia llama "Santo" a aquello que está consagrado a
Dios. La Iglesia Católica ha llamado "santos" a aquellos que se
han dedicado a tratar de que su propia vida le sea lo más
agradable posible a Nuestro Señor.
Hay unos que han sido "canonizados", o sea declarados
oficialmente santos por el Sumo Pontífice, porque por su
intercesión se han conseguido admirables milagros, y porque
después de haber examinado minuciosamente sus escritos y de
haber hecho una cuidadosa investigación e interrogatorio a los
testigos que lo acompañaron en su vida, se ha llegado a la
conclusión de que practicaron las virtudes en grado heroico.
Para ser declarado "Santo" por la Iglesia Católica se necesita
toda una serie de trámites rigurosos. Primero una exhaustiva
averiguación con personas que lo conocieron, para saber si en
verdad su vida fue ejemplar y virtuosa. Si se logra comprobar
por el testimonio de muchos que su comportamiento fue
ejemplar, se le declara "Siervo de Dios". Si por detalladas
averiguaciones se llega a la conclusión de que sus virtudes,
fueron heroicas, se le declara "Venerable". Más tarde, si por su
intercesión se consigue algún milagro totalmente inexplicable
por medios humanos, es declarado "Beato". Finalmente si se
consigue un nuevo y maravillosos milagro por haber pedido su
intercesión, el Papa lo declara "santo".
