From the Pastor’s Desk
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
The Feast of Corpus Christi
Last Saturday, after the 4:30 pm Vigil Mass about 20 people particated in the Eucharistic
procession in honor of The Feast of Corpus Christi. I want to thank all who processed and withstood the extreme heat conditions and walked around our town in adoration of the Blessed Sacrament
singing hymns of praise and infinite love. The procession ended with the Benediction of the Blessed
Sacrament. Your dedication to the Blessed Sacrament did not go unnoticed.
The Spanish Mass
Regretfully, the attendance at the Spanish Mass has dropped dramatically. Hence, last Sunday, the few that were present sat down to discuss the reason for the low attendance. They concluded
that although the Priest reads the homily in Spanish and celebrates the Mass, he is not capable of communicating effectively. This was a great eye-opener for me! What must the priests do to motivate
the Parishioners? How can this problem be solved? If you notice anything which needs improvement
be it, the fast recitation of prayers, pronunciation of words or use of language, idioms and expressions,
etc. please let us know. We are open to suggestions. Please rest assured that Fr. Sylvester and I are
diligently working on improving our English language and communicating skills so as to make the celebration of the Mass prayerful, meaningful and motivating.
Low Mass Attendance both Parents and Children
As the School and Religious education year comes to an end., I have begun to notice that
Mass attendance is diminishing. I understand that last weekend was Memorial day weekend and many
of you may have been out of town. However, the summer is not a vacation from Church, nor does receiving the Sacraments; Communion, Confirmation give the right for the child to discontinue going to
Mass. I am saddened to see that once these sacraments are received by the children they feel that it is
not necessary to go to Mass. It seems to be an epidemic of sort. But, by their baptism, children also
have certain rights: "Since they are called by baptism to lead a life in keeping with the teaching of the
gospel, the Christian faithful have the right to a Christian education.”
The first education comes from the teaching of the parents and their example. So it is the
primary obligation of the parents to educate their children in their faith and prepare them for a Eucharistic life, and it is the children’s right to receive this education. From an early age—especially from
the time they are baptized—it is appropriate that children be included in the Eucharistic celebration. I
hope that you will adhere to this obligation so that the ultimate goal is to strive for the maturity of the
human person and at the same time to know and live the mystery of salvation which is such an important part of our Catholic belief.
May God Bless you. Fr. Frank
