Recyclable Bins Update
As you may notice, we no longer
have the large receptacles in our
parking lot for paper recycling and
clothing donations. They were
permanently removed because
they were not costly effective,
they continually caused damaged
to the pavement and there was
always an unsightly amount of overflow strewed around the
receptacles.
The St. Vincent De Paul Society, an honorable Catholic
agency, gladly accepts such
donations at the following
locations. They also provide a
pick-up service for large items.
Aviso sobre los Contenedores de Reciclaje
Como habrán notado, ya no tenemos en el estacionamiento
los contenedores grandes para reciclaje de papel y donativos
de ropa. Se tomo la decisión de quitarlos permanentemente
puesto que era mucho el daño que causaban al pavimento y la
mala imagen que daban, porque siempre había basura tirada
alrededor.
La Sociedad de San Vicente de Paul, en una institución
católica caritativa que acepta donativos de
ropa y muebles, además de que pueden ir a
recoger sus donativos a domicilio, si no
pueden llevarlos a sus locales. Estas son las
dos mas cercanas a St. Ansgar:

Abortion and Christmas Over the last few years, in certain parts of the country, one can give friends and loved ones Planned Parenthood gift certificates. These vouchers can be used towards abortion, various contraceptive devices, or any of Planned Parenthood’s other "family planning" services (a total misnomer, since the goal of family planning is most definitely not end up with a family). The fact that Planned Parenthood is offering contraception and abortion as a possible gift makes their philosophy about abortion very clear. This is certainly not the action of a group of people who want abortion to be "safe, legal, and rare," as their popular phrase goes. They want the death of the unborn child to be seen as a positive thing, not a regrettable but sometimes "necessary procedure" as they claim. Of course, this is not surprising, since Planned Parenthood makes its profits from abortions; they are just another company trying to aggressively promote their main product. This view of life could not be more opposed to the biblical view. In the biblical world, children are unequivocally seen as wonderful gifts from God: "Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame … " Psalm 127:4-5 At Christmas time, we celebrate the greatest gift of life to mankind in the birth of the Messiah, Jesus Christ. To associate abortion in any way with the Christmas celebration is absolutely antithetical to the entire meaning of Christmas and to our Christian faith.
Aborto y Navidad En los últimos años, en ciertas partes del país, uno puede dar a sus amigos y familiares, certificados de regalos de Planned Parenthood. Estos certificados pueden usarse para aborto, varios artículos anticonceptivos, o cualquiera de los otros servicios de “planificación familiar” que ofrece Planned Parenthood (totalmente inadecuado, ya que la meta de la planificación familiar es definitivamente la de no terminar con la familia). El hecho de que Planned Parenthood este ofreciendo anticonceptivos y aborto como posible regalo, hace muy clara su filosofía acerca del aborto. Esto ciertamente no es una acción de un grupo de personas que desean que el aborto sea “seguro, legal y raro,” como es la frase popular que usan. Ellos quieren que la muerte del niño no nacido se vea como algo positivo, no como algo deplorable, algunas veces como un “procedimiento necesario” como ellos así lo llaman. Por supuesto, esto no es una sorpresa, ya que Planned Parenthood hace su ganancia de los abortos; ellos solamente son como cualquier otra gran compañía que trata agresivamente promover su mejor producto. Este modo de ver la vida no puede ser más opuesto a la visión bíblica. En el mundo bíblico los niños son, sin equivocarse, vistos como un maravilloso regalo de Dios. “Como flechas en manos del guerrero son los hijos de la juventud. Feliz el hombre que con tales flechas ha llenado su alijaba! Sus contrarios no los harán callar…. Salmo 127:4-5 En el tiempo de Navidad, nosotros celebramos el más grande de los regalos de vida a la humanidad con el nacimiento del Mesías, Jesucristo. El asociar de alguna manera el aborto con la Navidad, es absolutamente opuesto al verdadero significado de la Navidad y a nuestra fe Cristiana.
