PASTOR’S MESSAGE
MENSAJE DEL PARROCO
Dear Parishioners,
… when the doors were locked, where the
disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came
and stood in their midst and said to them,
“Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you
forgive are forgiven them ...”
Queridos feligreses,
… estando cerradas las puertas de la casa
donde se hallaban los apóstoles por miedo a los
judíos … se presentó Jesús y les dijo: “Reciban
el Espíritu Santo. A los que les perdonen los
pecados, les quedarán perdonados …”
One day I asked a young man in the catechesis:
What does the Holy Spirit mean? He answered in a
simple way: “It is like the oxygen that we cannot
see, but that makes its presence known in a very
spontaneous way in our lives, strengthening our
fears and weaknesses, to carry us through the day
in our journey.”
Un día le preguntaba a un joven en la catequesis:
¿Qué significa el Espíritu Santo? El me contestó de
un forma sencilla: “Es como el oxígeno que no
vemos, pero que se hace presente de una forma
espontánea en nuestra vida, fortaleciendo nuestros
miedos y debilidades, para salir airosos en nuestro
caminar”.
The Gospel tells us that the apostles’ “door were
locked for fear of the Jews.”
El Evangelio nos dice que los apóstoles estaban
“encerrados por miedo a los judíos”.
Why were they afraid? Fear is a sentiment that we
find from ancestral times. We find an example in
the disobedience of Adam and Eve: “I heard you in
the garden; but I was afraid” Gen 3:10.
El miedo es un
¿Por qué tenían miedo?
sentimiento que encontramos desde tiempos
ancestrales. Un ejemplo lo encontramos en la
desobediencia de Adán y Eva: “Escuché que
estabas en el jardín y tuve miedo” Gen 3,10.
Fear exists as a defense mechanism to prevent our
body from possible dangers. It can sometimes be
imaginary … But the apostles feel real fear.
Christ’s death has been devastating for the
apostles.
El miedo existe como un mecanismo de defensa
para prevenir nuestro organismo de posibles
peligros. A veces pueden ser imaginarios … Pero
los apóstoles sienten un miedo real. La muerte de
Cristo había sido devastadora para los apóstoles.
However, as soon as the Holy Spirit appears all the
apostles’ fears disappear completely and they go
forth preaching openly before the crowds, among
them was Peter, who courageously preached the
message of salvation. “Repent and be baptized,
every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the
forgiveness of your sins …” Acts 2:38.
Sin embargo en cuanto aparece el Espíritu Santo,
desaparecen por completo los temores de los
apóstoles, y salen predicando abiertamente ante las
multitudes, entre ellos estaba Pedro, que con
valentía predicaba el mensaje de salvación.
“Vuélvanse a Dios … para que Dios les perdone los
pecados …” Hechos 2,38.
As we see in the Gospel, spiritual strength comes to
the primitive community through the Holy Spirit that
pours over the apostles, through the “seven gifts” of
the Holy Spirit.
Como vemos en el Evangelio, la fortaleza espiritual
le viene a la comunidad primitiva a través del
Espíritu Santo que se derrama sobre los apóstoles,
a través de los “siete dones” del Espíritu Santo.
The gift of Wisdom: “they heard them speaking in

their own tongue.”

GOOD NEWS!!
I have some great news to share with you. But first
I want to congratulate you, the parishioners of
Immaculate Conception, for your faithful financial
support to your parish. Over the past seven years
we have been able to pay “religiously” (pardon the
pun!) the parish debt/loan, thanks to your
commitment. Now, in a very generous gesture, the
Archbishop has forgiven the balance of
$2,663,391.86 of the debt. This is both a fantastic
farewell present to me and a great welcoming gift to
your new pastor, Father Manuel Alvarez. But, most
importantly, it is an acknowledgement to the
sacrificial efforts you all have made. Thank you
Archbishop Wenski. God is good, all the time.
Immaculate Conception Parish is debt free. Your
continuous support is still very much needed. God
bless you.
- Father Paco

A MESSAGE FROM FR. MATIAS
Dear Parishioners of Immaculate Conception,
I would like to thank all of you for your
love, encouragement, support, and
generosity during these past six years
that I’ve been visiting Immaculate
Conception.
My gratitude to all the people that
made possible my first celebration of
the Eucharist as main celebrant on May 25th.
Thank you for all your prayers, best wishes, and for
your gifts! May the Lord continue to bless the family
of Immaculate Conception and the Blessed Mother
interceding for all your needs.
You are in my prayers. God bless you.

BUENAS NOTICIAS
Tengo excelentes noticias que compartir con todos
ustedes.
Pero primero quiero felicitar a los
miembros de la comunidad de la Inmaculada
Concepción por su fiel apoyo financiero a la
parroquia. En los últimos siete años hemos podido
pagar “religiosamente” (¡no me pude aguantar!) la
deuda parroquial gracias a su compromiso. Ahora,
en un gesto muy generoso de nuestro arzobispo,
nos han cancelado el balance de $2,663,391.86 de
la deuda parroquial. Este hecho lo interpreto como
un fantástico regalo de despedida hacia mi, y un
hermoso presente a su nuevo párroco, el Padre
Manuel Álvarez.
Pero sobre todo es un
reconocimiento a los sacrificios que ustedes han
hecho. Gracias Arzobispo Wenski. El Señor ha
estado grande con nosotros y estamos alegres. La
comunidad de la Inmaculada Concepción está libre
de deuda. Pero su continuo apoyo es necesario.
Que Dios les bendiga.

PASTOR’S MESSAGE
(Continued from page 2)
Gift of Understanding: “and will speak on my behalf.” Gift of Council: “exhorting them said: Save yourselves
from this corrupt generation.” Gift of Fortitude: frees us from all lethargy and fears. “All remained firm in what
the Apostles taught.” Gift of Science: is to discern the presence of God in our lives, “you will fill me with joy in
your presence” Acts 2:28. Gift of Piety: “Everyday they devoted themselves to meeting together in the
temple area and to breaking bread” (the Eucharist). Gift of Fear of God: It is born of love. “It is impossible for
us not to speak about what we have seen and heard” Acts 4:20. We have been sent to preach salvation so
that the world may know and live in accordance with the Gospel of Christ.
Let us pray to the Holy Spirit that our Church will become evangelized and evangelizing give testimony of life
without fear.
- Fraternally in Christ, Rev. Francisco Hernandez
SAINT OF THE WEEK - Saint Ephrem, Deacon
It is believed that Ephrem was born in the village of Nisibis (in what is today Iraq) around the year 300. It is
not known if his parents were Christians. Tradition says that in his youth he accompanied the bishop of his
hometown to the Council of Nicaea in 325.
One afternoon he abandoned his father’s house. He began his pilgrimage and traveled from village to village
eventually crossing the desert. He lived among hermits and became familiar with their customs. He sang
and prayed with them.
While he was on the caravans, he meditated and fasted with them and spoke about the Sacred Scriptures.
He wrote mystical poems and doctrinal hymns. The Christian communities knew Ephrem as a popular
religious poet.
St. Basilic Magno ordained him a deacon, but could never make him accept the priesthood because he did
not consider himself to be worthy of that dignity. He preached to the people and comforted the afflicted. His
speeches had the flavor of a dialog between the soul and God. He also wrote a prose commenting on the
sacred books. Inspired by biblical doctrine, he composed homilies, which he used to educate the people.
Ephren died on June 9th of the year 373. Pope Benedict XV canonized him in 1920.

Don de Entendimiento: “y hablarán de mi parte”. Don de consejo: “los exhortaban diciendo: ¡Apártense de
esta generación pervertida! Don de Fortaleza: nos libera de todos los letargos, de los miedos. “Todos
seguían firmes en lo que los apóstoles les enseñaban”. Don de Ciencia: es discernir la presencia de Dios en
nuestras vidas: “me llenarás de alegría con tu presencia” Hech 2,28. Don de piedad: “Oraban y se reunían
para compartir el pan” (la Eucaristía). Don de temor de Dios: nace del amor. “Nosotros no podemos dejar

Pidamos al Espíritu Santo que nuestra Iglesia se convierta en Evangelizada y Evangelizadora, y sin miedo

— Fraternalmente en Cristo, Rev. Francisco Hernández
SANTO DE LA SEMANA — San Efrén, diácono
Se cree que nació en el pueblo de Nisibe, (en lo que hoy es Irak), entre los años 300. No se sabe si sus
padres eran cristianos. La tradición afirma que en la juventud acompañó al obispo de su ciudad natal al
concilio de Nicea, en 325.
Una tarde abandonó la casa paterna. Comienza su peregrinaje. Va de aldea en aldea, de pueblo en pueblo.
Cruza el desierto. Vive con anacoretas, conoce así sus costumbres, canta y reza con ellos.
En las caravanas medita, y ayuna con ellos, y comenta las Sagradas Escrituras. Escribe poesías místicas e
himnos doctrinales. Las comunidades cristianas conocen a Efrén como poeta religioso y popular.
San Basilio Magno lo ordenó diácono, pero nunca pudo hacerle aceptar el sacerdocio, pues él no se
consideraba merecedor de tal dignidad. Predica al pueblo y consuela a los afligidos. Sus discursos tiene
sabor a diálogo entre el alma y Dios. También escribió en prosa comentando los libros sagrados. Inspirado
en la doctrina bíblica compuso homilías que utilizaba para la enseñanza del pueblo.
Efrén murió el 9 de junio del año 373. el Papa Benedicto XV lo canonizó en 1920.
