For The People of The Parish (SH) ANDA Y HAZ TÚ LO MISMO La señorita González, la decana de los estudiantes de la Escuela Secundaria Olimpo, ya estaba cansada de regañar a Mateo, a pesar de que le caía muy bien. “Cuatro castigos después de clase en dos semanas es demasiado". Sin embargo Mateo permanecía en silencio. Sólo después de que la señorita González fuera en una ronda matutina por el vecindario descubrió la verdadera razón de las tardanzas de Mateo. Pataplún, cayó la silla de ruedas por las escaleras. Era Mateo, sujetando a Dolores mientras ayudaba a que la bajaran por las escaleras y luego la empujaba hasta la parada de autobús. “Es una chica de mi grupo de jóvenes de la parroquia” Mateo le explicó a la señorita González. Hay muchas formas de describir las acciones de Mateo –un acto de bondad al azar, marcar una diferencia en la vida de una persona a la vez. Jesús entendería. Cuando el abogado identificó correctamente al buen samaritano como el que había tratado al hombre herido con compasión, Jesús simplemente dijo: “Anda y haz tú lo mismo” (Lucas 10:37). Copyright © J.

It was only after Miss Collins went on a morning neighborhood patrol that she found out the real reason for Matt’s tardiness. Thump, thump, thump, came the wheelchair down the stairs. It was Matt, steadying Shawnetta as he helped lower her down the stairs and then push her to the corner bus stop. “She’s a girl in my parish youth group,” Matt explained to Miss Collins. There are many ways to describe Matt’s actions—a random act of kindness, making a difference one person at a time. Jesus would understand. When the lawyer correctly identified the good Samaritan as the one who had treated the injured man with compassion, Jesus said simply, “Go and do likewise” (Luke 10:37). Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Works of Mercy - Burying the Dead: In our Catholic tradition, we take seriously the seventh Corporal Work of Mercy Burying the dead. A well-planned funeral service does many things: it gives honor to the person who died; it gives the opportunity for the family to come together, to grieve, celebrate and pray together, and it expresses our faith in the life to come. What does the Catholic funeral service entail? How does one go about the important work of planning such a service? What, and how, can one prepare beforehand? What does it cost? In response to the request of some of our parishioners for more information on these topics, we are planning a workshop for the afternoon of Sunday, July 24, 1:30-4:30 pm at Sacred Heart Hall, entitled “A Work of Mercy: Burying the Dead”. Fr. Paul will give a presentation on the religious and spiritual aspects of the Catholic funeral service, and representatives of our local mortuaries will be invited to explain the services they offer. More information to come; mark the date! This is for everyone. Sacrament of the Sick: Are you about to undergo some medical procedure, or receive a diagnosis for a physical problem of some kind? Our church has a beautiful sacrament - the Sacrament of the Sick - meant to provide strength and healing of body, mind and spirit. Our priests are available to administer this sacrament; you may stop by the office (call first!) or catch them after one of our liturgies. This sacrament is beautifully explained in Chapter 18 of the U.S. Catholic Catechism. Visits to Homebound - We would like to be aware of those who are ill and in need of pastoral visits, whether the person is in a hospital or at home and unable to come to church. You are the eyes and ears of our Church; please let us know so that we can respond. Teen ACTS Retreat: …takes place July 21-24. Registration forms are available at each church.

Page Three Obras de Misericordia - Enterrar a los Muertos: En nuestra tradición Católica, tomamos en serio la séptima obra de misericordia corporal - enterrar a los muertos. Un servicio bien planificado cumple muchos propósitos: dando honor a la persona que murió, dando la oportunidad para la familia de reunirse y celebrar, gemir, orar juntos; y expresa nuestra fe en la vida mas allá de esta. ¿Cómo se compone el servicio católico de exequias? ¡Cómo se planea tal servicio? ¿Qué se puede planificar de antemano? ¿Y que tanto cuesta? En respuests a algunos que han pedido más información sobre estos tópicos, estamos planeando un taller para la tarde del Domingo, julio 24, 1:30-4Ñ30 pm en el Salón de Sagrado Corazón, titulado “Una Obra de Misericordia: Enterrar a los Muertos”. Padre Paul dará una presentación sobre los aspectos religiosos y espirituales de los ritos, y representantes de los funerarios locales estarán invitados a explicar los servicios que ofrecen. Habrá mas información; marquen la fecha! Este taller es para todos. Sacramento de los Enfermos: ¿Está enfermo? ¿Va a ir al hospital para uns cirugía?
