My dear family of St. Andrew the Apostle!
In two weeks we celebrate Palm/Passion Sunday and in three weeks, can you believe it,
EASTER!!!
So it’s that time of year again! In order that we minimize congestion, we will again this year implement “traffic flow” — certain doors will be Entrance Only, others Exit Only, as well as a Handicapped Accessible Entrance. Please be aware of those around you with special needs, difficulty walking, etc. They deserve special care and preferential treatment, of course. See the chart included on this page below. Due to
safety and fire code regulations, we will have a number of classrooms outfitted with Video and Audio feeds
from the Church and Hall to accommodate overflow.
As usual, on the street and near the street exits, we will be guided by our local police officers. Once
the church or hall is completely cleared from the previous Mass, the people patiently waiting in the hallways
for the next Mass will be allowed to enter.
Please follow the instructions of our Parish Staff, Knights of Columbus, and designated volunteers to
help make this movement as smooth as possible. We are blessed to have such a big family here at St. Andrew!
We are grateful to God for so many blessings that enrich our lives and unite us to Jesus!
In the loving Hearts of Jesus and Mary,
Fr. Gregor

Marzec 19
Święty Józefie, ofiaruję Ci miłość Jezusa i Maryi, jaką żywią ku Tobie. Ofiaruję Ci też
uwielbienia, hołdy wdzięczności i ofiary, jakie Ci wierni złożyli przez wieki aż do tej chwili. Siebie i wszystkich drogich memu
sercu oddaję na zawsze Twej świętej opiece. Błagam Cię dla miłości Boga i
Najświętszej Maryi Panny, Twej Oblubienicy, racz

umiał łączyć życie czynne z głębokim życiem modlitwy. * Św. Józefie, szczęśliwy
Opiekunie Jezusa i Maryi Niepokalanej,

szczęśliwej śmierci. Niech Jezus i Maryja
towarzyszą mi w chwili konania, a ostatnimi moimi słowami niech będą najsłodsze
Imiona: Jezus, Maryja i Józef! Amen.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
With the dissipation of the catechumenate’s energy since almost everyone was born into the
Church, Lent began to be seen more as a preparation
to follow the Passion of Christ with devotion. In the
city of Rome, creative spirits settled on “stational
churches” as a way of keeping the energy flowing.
Everyone would be directed to a certain “station”
each day, and the name of that church provided a
theme for the liturgy. So, for example, on certain
Saturdays in Lent, everything centered on the church
of St. Vitale. Now, this poor fellow had been thrown
into a hole and covered in stones at his martyrdom,
so the readings recalled Joseph thrown down the well
by his brothers, and the wicked servants killing the
son of the owner of the vineyard. Gradually, travelers to Rome noted the celebration and worked it into
liturgical schedules back home. Eventually, calendars everywhere bore the curious footnote on a
Lenten Saturday: “Station S. Vitale.” This served the
priority of getting ready to hear the Passion fairly
well, but was hardly satisfactory for Lent’s baptismal
character. Now, at last, our liturgy is reorganized to
serve the deepest level of our tradition exceedingly
well. Lent, once again, is all about baptism.

Oración de cuaresma para encontrarnos con Dios.
Ayúdame a hacer silencio Señor, quiero
escuchar tu voz. Toma mi mano, guíame al
desierto, que nos encontremos a solas, tú y
yo. Necesito contemplar tu rostro, me hace falta la calidez de tu
voz, caminar juntos, callar para que hables tú. Me pongo en tus
manos, quiero revisar mi vida, descubrir en qué tengo que cambiar, afianzar lo que anda bien, sorprenderme con lo nuevo que
me pides. Ayúdame a dejar a un lado las prisas, las preocupaciones que llenan mi cabeza, barre mis dudas e inseguridades, ayúdame a archivar mis respuestas hechas, quiero compartir mi vida y revisarla a tu lado. Ver dónde “aprieta el zapato” para
apurar el cambio. Me tienta la seguridad el “saberlas todas”, tenerla “clara”, no necesitarte, total tengo todas las respuestas. Me tienta el activismo. Hay que hacer, hacer y hacer. Y
me olvido del silencio, aflojo en la oración, ¿leer la Biblia?, para
cuando haya tiempo. Me tienta la incoherencia. Hablar mucho y
hacer poco. Mostrar facha de buen cristiano, Pero adentro, donde tú y yo conocemos, tener mucho para cambiar. Me
tienta ser el centro del mundo. Que los demás giren a mí alrededor. Que me sirvan en lugar de servir. Me tienta la idolatría. Fabricarme un ídolo con mis proyectos, mis convicciones, mis certezas y conveniencias y ponerle tu nombre de Dios. No será el
becerro de oro, pero se le parece. Me tienta la falta de compromiso. Es más fácil pasar de largo que bajarse del caballo y hacer la
del samaritano. ¡Hay tantos caídos a mi lado, Señor y yo me
hago el distraído. Me tienta la falta de sensibilidad, no tener compasión. Acostumbrarme a que otros sufren y tener excusas, razones, explicaciones que no tienen nada de Evangelio pero que me
conforman un rato Señor, porque en el fondo no puedo engañarte. Me tienta el separar la fe y la vida. Leer el diario, ver las noticias sin indignarme evangélicamente por la ausencia de justicia y
la falta de solidaridad. Me tienta el mirar la realidad sin la mirada
del Reino. Me tienta el tener tiempo para todo menos para lo
importante. Y lamentarlo pero no hacer nada para cambiarlo. La
familia, los hijos, la oración, al cuadragésimo lugar. Hay cosas
más importantes. ¿Las hay? Me tienta, Señor, el desaliento, lo
difícil que a veces se presentan las cosas. Me tienta la desesperanza, la falta de utopía. Me tienta el dejarlo para mañana, cuando hay que empezar a cambiar hoy. Me tienta creer que
te escucho cuando escucho mi voz. Enséñame a discernir, dame
luz para distinguir tu rostro. Llévame al desierto, Señor, despójame de lo que me ata, sacude mis certezas y pon a prueba mi
amor y mi fe. Para empezar de nuevo, humilde, sencillo, con
fuerza y Espíritu para vivir fiel a ti. Amén

SACRAMENTS OF COMMITMENT
MARRIAGE
Marriage preparation is a six month process of prayer,
reflection and study. Couples work with both the presider
and a sponsor couple through this process. Please note that
this six month period of preparation is essential.
Look upon our brothers and sisters who are ill, in the midst of
illness and pain, may they be united with Christ, who heals both
body and soul; may they know the consolation promised to
those who suffer and be fully restored to wellness and wholeness. We ask this in the name of Jesus the Lord. Amen.
GRANT ETERNAL REST, LIGHT AND PEACE TO ALL
FAITHFUL DEPARTED, Eliezer Maldonado, Mary Ann
Manago .

team or homebound and in need of communion.

ministry are encouraged to call the parish offices.
SACRAMENTS OF HEALING
RECONCILIATION
Reconciliation is available each Saturday afternoon,
Wednesday evening 5:30-7:00pm, through seasonal
communal services, and by appointment.
ANOINTING
Anointing of the Sick is offered through seasonal
services, and always by request. If hospitalized, please
immediately seek anointing from the Catholic chaplain.
Hospital Visitation of Parishioners
Please remember that if you or any family members find yourselves in a
hospital, be sure to let them know you are a parishioner at St. Andrew’s — it
doesn’t hurt to say it a few times, either! Whenever we priests, deacons or
Eucharistic Ministers come to visit, we check the hospital list of parishioners
printed under “St. Andrew.” But if you’re not listed as a parishioner of St.
Andrew, we won’t know you’re even there! We do not want to miss you! You
can always call us, too, at the office, ext. 301. Thank you. May the Lord Jesus be
with you all your days, to love and be loved by Him, to honor and serve Him, as
He honors and serves us!
I would like to have my house blessed.
Please contact me to make arrangements.
