FAITH FORMATION NEWS
Parish registration and student registration in the Faith For-mation Program
As I first informed everyone at the registration orientation, every parent who registers a student in the Faith Formation program must be registered in the parish. Without the parish registration form the student does not show in the Faith For-mation classes. There are two forms, one is the parish regis-tration form that goes to the main office and the other is the student registration form that goes to Miss Rodriguez’ office.
Saturday/Sunday Mass
After the Saturday or Sunday Mass the student goes to his/her classroom to pick up her /his calendar and brings it to the catechist in Our Lady of Guadalupe Hall for the stamp and leaves it with the catechist.
First day of class for Holy Communion and Confirmation
First day of class for Holy Communion and Confirmation was this past Tuesday, September 17 and Wednesday, Sep-tember 18.
Sacramental required meetings for parents
The sacramental meetings for parents will be held during the second semester.
God bless you,
Julie Rodriguez, M.A.

Twenty-Sixth Sunday of Ordinary Time
Today’s Gospel gives us powerful revelation of Jesus teaching us about hell. The word used by the Gospel is Greek for nether-world, i.e. the place of the dead. The church gives a brief teach-ing on the official teaching of this in the Catechism of the Catho-lic Church says that this is a state rather than a place (CCC 1033). An unquenchable fire separates those that have chosen separa-tion from God through their actions instead of God. What is important to get from this Gospel is that Jesus teaches that if the cares and riches of this world are what comfort us more than the blessings and love of God, we are choosing the life that we want. Jesus teaches that we have already been given all of His teaching through His word and the Church that even a big miracle, i.e. the Resurrection cannot convert. My prayer is that we examine our life and see where it is that we still have to say yes to God. Juan Aguacate
Vigésimosexto Domingo Del Tiempo Ordinario
El Evangelio de hoy nos presenta a Jesús enseñándonos sobre el infierno. La palabra que se emplea en el Evangelio es del griego para el mundo inferior, es decir, el lugar de los muer-tos. La iglesia da una breve enseñanza sobre la enseñanza oficial de esto en el Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica que dice que este es un estado y no un lugar (CCC 1033). Un fuego in-saciable separa a aquellos que han elegido la separación de Dios a través de sus acciones. No eligen a Dios. Lo importante de este Evangelio es que Jesús enseña que, si los bienes y las riquezas de este mundo son los que nos consuelan más que las bendiciones y el amor de Dios, estamos eligiendo la vida que queremos. Jesús enseña que él ya nos ha dado toda su enseñanza a través de su palabra y la Iglesia. Si no creemos en esto, un gran milagro aun, es decir, la resurrección, no puede convertirnos. Mi oración es que examinemos nuestra vida y veamos dónde es que todavía tenemos que aceptar a Dios. Juan Aguacate
