NEXT Sunday May 8th
Cards Available After All Masses
This Weekend
A beautiful annual tradition in our church is to
remember our Mothers, living and deceased, in a
special novena of masses beginning on Mother’s
Day. These nine days of prayer remind us of the
sacrifices and love of our Moms. If you would like
to include a special Mom (your own, grandmother,
Aunt, Sister, daughter, friend) in our special novena
of masses, please take a card from the vestibule.
Please return the envelope as soon as possible to the
parish. You can return the envelope(s) with the
names of those to be remembered in the collection
basket or to the parish office. God bless our Moms!
Have a blessed and joyful week of Easter!
Alleluia!
In Christ’s love, Fr. Pat

News & Notes
RCIA: An Invitation for Everyone to
Community in Christ.
On Sunday May 1st we are beginning a new “year round’
RCIA “process”. If you are interested you are invited to join
with us at 10am in the parish office. At Saint Joseph Cathedral parish community we believe that everyone has an
invitation to join the RCIA process. The RCIA’s invitation is
for those individuals who have not been baptized and wish
to enter into a relationship with Jesus Christ in the Roman
Catholic Faith Community. The invitation is for those from
other Christian Faith communities who wish to become
members of the Roman Catholic Church. Catholics who
have not completed the sacraments of Confirmation, and
Eucharist will find the invitation is for them to complete
those sacraments. Catholics who have not been active in
their faith and wish to return to an active sacramental relationship with the faith community will find the RCIA a place
to have that journey.
Evangelization and Catechesis are the hallmarks of the
RCIA at Saint Joseph’s cathedral. For more information
write Bill Bischoff at [email protected] or call the parish office.

Ministerio Hispano
Año Jubilar de la Misericordia
Sexto Domingo de Pascua
En documentos oficiales, presentaciones y homilías que
delinean el propósito del Año Jubilar de la Misericordia, el
Papa Francisco explica que la compasión y la comprensión por aquellas personas en situaciones difíciles no es
solamente nuestra responsabilidad personal, sino algo
que toda la Iglesia oficialmente necesita manifestarse.
Hoy el texto de los Hechos de los Apóstoles presenta un
ejemplo conmovedor de la Iglesia de los primeros siglos
haciendo precisamente eso. El comienzo de una oración
al Espíritu Santo asegura a la asamblea que ellos no actuaron solos discerniendo la decisión correcta: “Porque
pareció bien al Espíritu Santo y a nosotros”. Y ellos ya
eligieron una respuesta compasiva: “no imponerles mayor
carga que estas cosas esenciales” (Hechos 15:28). Sin
embargo, que creativamente, la mayoría judía puso a un
lado los rituales establecidos de toda la vida que establecían identidad y expresaban fidelidad a la alianza. Que
confianza tan fundamental, la comunidad afirma principios
validos universalmente y al mismo tiempo respeta situaciones personales y particulares. ¡Exactamente la gracia
por la que el Papa Francisco ora que este Año Jubilar
renueve a la Iglesia de hoy!
Lecturas de Hoy
Primera Lectura —
La cuestión de si los gentiles necesitaban ser circuncidados para salvarse
(Hch 15:1-2, 22-29).
Salmo —
Que te alaben, Señor, todos los pueblos. Aleluya
(Salmo 67 [66]).
Segunda lectura —
Juan tiene una visión de la ciudad santa, la nueva
Jerusalén (Apocalipsis 21:10-14, 22-23) o Apocalipsis 22:12-14, 16-17, 20.
Evangelio —
El Espíritu Santo, enviado por el Padre en nombre
de Jesús, nos enseñará todo (Juan 14:23-29) o
Juan 17:20-26.

Oh Dios, que te alaben los pueblos,
que todos los pueblos te alaben.
— Salmo 67 (66):6
TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Tristemente una vez que muchos latinoamericanos llegan a
los Estados Unidos es difícil regresar a sus tierras de origen, ni
siquiera para visitar. Por esta razón, muchos pueblos latinoamericanos han construido santuarios a sus vírgenes y santos
patrones en tierra estadounidense. De esta manera buscan
estar cerca al suelo que les trajo a luz, que les nutrió con frutas,
verduras, flores, cantos, costumbres y tradiciones.
En Miami el pueblo cubano ha construido una ermita dedicada a la Virgen de la Caridad del Cobre, cuya capilla del Santísimo fue bendecida en la fiesta de la Ascensión del Señor.
Debajo de su altar principal se guarda una piedra hecha con
tierra de las distintas provincias de Cuba. Es bello el hecho,
porque de esta manera todo cubano que se acerca al altar del
Señor puede estar cerca de su terruño aunque sea solo por un
momento.
Que hay en la tierra que nos llama tanto a nosotros los
latinos. Será que el libro del Génesis tiene razón, Dios forma
toda persona del polvo y el corazón latino anhela la tierra de la
que fue sacado.

Faith Formation
Faith Formation is a vital element of every Catholic
parish. The role of parish faith formation is to provide
organized and systematic approach to the instruction
and practice of the faith for everyone in the parish
community. The goal of this formation is to give each
member an understanding of their faith so they can
evangelize and witness to the faith in the greater secular community. The programs offered at Saint Joseph’s Cathedral parish reflect the diversity of an urban Southern California parish.
In addition to the weekly catechetical program special
events and speakers are presented throughout the
parish’s pastoral year.
RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults)
RCIA an Invitation for everyone
to Community in Christ.
At St. Joseph Cathedral’s parish community we believe that everyone has an invitation to join the RCIA
process. The RCIA’s invitation is for those individuals who have not been baptized and wish to enter into
a relationship with Jesus Christ in the Roman Catholic
Faith Community. The invitation is for those from
other Christian Faith communities who wish to become members of the Roman Catholic Church.
Catholics who have not completed the sacraments of
Confirmation and Eucharist will find the invitation is
for them to complete those sacraments. Catholics
who have not been active in their faith and wish to
return to an active sacramental relationship with the
faith community will find the RCIA a place to have
that journey. Also, Catholics who wish to renew their
faith by refreshing their knowledge of the church’s
teaching are most welcome.
Evangelization and Catechesis are the hallmarks of the
RCIA at St. Joseph Cathedral. For more information
write Bill Bischoff at [email protected] or call
the Parish Office.

vida, aprender y ensenar a ortos la fe. La Vida de la
Iglesia es catequética y es el responder a necesidades
de los que son catequizados.

La comunidad parroquiana de Catedral de San José
extiende una invitación a todos al proceso de RICA.
La invitación es para Adultos que nunca han sido
bautizados y quisieran establecer una relación con
Jesucristo en la Comunidad Cristiana Católica Romana.
De igual manera la invitación es para Adultos de otras
comunidades Cristianas que quisieran ser miembro
de la Iglesia Católica Romana.
Católicos que aun no completan el Sacramento de
Confirmación y Primera Comunión se les invita a que
reciban los Sacramentos. A Católicos que no han
sido activos en su fe y quisieran regresar a una fe activa sacramental encontraran que RICA los guiara de
nuevo a su Fe Católica Romana.
La evangelización y el Catequesis son bases fundamentales en el programa de RICA en Catedral de

con Alicia Gutiérrez al (619)239-0229 o [email protected].
