My dear Parishioners,
The journey of Lent reminds us how God provided the Israelites with a vision for life that would
guide them in the years ahead, so that on entering the promised land, they might live in love
and unity with God and one another, and be a source of blessing to the world. These
instructions are summed up by the commandment, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
Let us imagine a community where this commandment is held in the highest regard and
practiced with the greatest care. This is God’s vision for human relations!
The commandment to love your neighbor as yourself comes from the mind and heart of God.
Self-giving love is the essence of God, since He is a communion of three persons: Father, Son,
and Holy Spirit. Following the instructions and commands of God with regard to love of
neighbor is one important way in which we imitate God and share His love with others. God
tells Moses to tell the Israelites, “Be holy, for I, the Lord your God, am holy.”
Loving our neighbor is not only an important way for us to imitate God and demonstrate our
faith and love for Him. It is also an essential element of living as a disciple of Jesus – a
fundamental criterion Jesus will use to determine whether we are found worthy to enter eternal
life in heaven. This reality is made clear with Jesus speaking of the sheep and the goats. He
explains that those who genuinely and sincerely strive to love and care for others – especially
the least in their midst – will be judged worthy of coming to share eternal life in heaven. Those
who do not exercise love and care for their neighbor, they receive eternal condemnation and
separation from God.
May we strive this day and every day to pour ourselves out in love and service to our neighbor,
so that we might imitate God, show forth our faith and love for God, know the blessings that
come from living in love and unity with God and loving others, and ultimately one day come to
enjoy perfect happiness in God’s heavenly kingdom.
This coming Wednesday, March 16, we will be having our Parish Communal Penance service.
Please come to experience the mercy and love of God by the forgiveness of the sins we bring
to confession. There will be several priests from nearby parishes who will help hear individual
confession and give individual absolution beginning at 7:00 p.m. Kindly bring the whole family,
invite friends and join us for this celebration. The last schedule for confession is Saturday,
March 19, from 3:00 to 4:30 p.m. There are NO confessions scheduled during the Holy Week.
But of course, in case of emergency, you may call any of us priests at the Rectory office.
Peace,
Fr. Riz

I consider everything as a loss because of the supreme good
of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. ~ Philippians 3:8
In this penitential season of Lent, the Christian faithful are obliged, and encouraged, to confess sacramentally all serious sins
not previously acknowledged in individual confession. Pastors and parishes are encouraged to make available communal
celebration of the Sacrament of Reconciliation, to emphasize the social and ecclesial aspects of sin and reconciliation.
The Lenten Communal Penance Service at St. Peter Claver Church will be held this Wednesday, March 16th at 7pm.
Several priests will be available. There will be no confessions during Holy Week.
St. Peter Claver recently joined with LPi (Liturgical Publishing) to provide media services for the parish. Our first endeavor is an
abbreviated Parish Resource guide to be given to new registering families and visitors. This Resource Guide will provide an overview
of the parish as well as a listing of key Liturgical, Spiritual, Service, and Service & Outreach ministries.
The week of February 29th, George Velazquez, LPi Advertising Sales Executive, visited our parish and contacted some of you
regarding advertising in the Resource Guide. Please prayerfully consider supporting your parish by advertising in the Resource
Guide. If you were not contacted and would like explore the possibility, please contact the parish office for information.

Do you have trouble understanding the Lectors, Commentators, or Choir? Assisted Listening Devices are available from the
ushers which can help to improve sound clarity. These devices are capable of wirelessly connecting to the church sound system
allowing for a direct feed. One parishioner recently started using this device and the results were fantastic. Before she could not
understand the music because of her hearing loss, but now she is able to sing along with the choir and enjoy Mass again.
If you are interested in trying the amplifier, please see an Usher or Deacon before Mass.
Jesus asked that this Feast of the Divine Mercy be preceded by a Novena of Chaplets
to the Divine Mercy, which would begin on Good Friday. Therefore, Saint Peter Claver
will recite the Novena of Chaplets at 3pm each day beginning on Good Friday, March 25th,
through Saturday, April 2nd. This will be followed up with the Chaplet of Divine Mercy recited
before the 12noon Mass, at 11:45am, on April 3rd, Divine Mercy Sunday.
We hope you can participate in this event!
Thanks to all our generous parishioners who
donated poncho rain slickers for our guests at

Present caretaker of the Icon
Pope Pius, who as a boy had prayed before the picture in San Matteo, became interested in the discovery
and in a letter dated 11 December 1865 to Father General Mauron, C.Ss.R., ordered that Our Lady of
Perpetual Succour should be again publicly venerated in Via Merulana, and this time at the new church of St.
Alphonsus. Pope Pius IX directed the Augustinian friars to surrender the icon to the Redemptorist priests, on
condition that the Redemptorists must supply the Augustinians with another picture of Our Lady of Perpetual
Help or a good copy of the icon in exchange as a gesture of goodwill. Pope Pius IX instructions to the
Redemptorists were:
The Cardinal Prefect of Propaganda will call the Superior of the community of Sancta Maria in Posterula and will tell him that it is Our
desire that the image of Most Holy Mary, referred to in this petition, be again placed between Saint John and St. Mary Major; the
Redemptorists shall replace it with another adequate picture.
Upon its official transfer, Pope Pius IX finally gave his Apostolic Blessing and titled the icon Mater de Perpetuo Succursu (Mother of
Perpetual Help). On 23 June 1867, the image was given a Canonical Coronation by the Dean of the Vatican Chapter in a solemn and
official recognition of the Marian icon under that title. On 21 April 1866, the Redemptorist Superior General gave one of the first
copies of the icon to Pope Pius IX. This copy is preserved in the chapel of the Redemptorists' Generalate in Rome. The original icon
remains under the care of the Redemptorist Fathers at the Church of St. Alphonsus with the latest restoration of the icon having taken
place in 1990.

La seguridad contra incendios comienza en casa - Cuando las familias tienen planes contra incendio,
tienen más probabilidades de escapar de los peligros en caso que ocurra un incendio. Debido a que un
incendio puede separar a los padres de sus hijos, es importante que todos sepan cómo salirse de la casa y
dónde ir. Enseñar a sus hijos a ser ingeniosos en situaciones de peligro puede ayudarles en todos los
aspectos de sus vidas. Para más información de la Cruz Roja Americana sobre planeación de un escape en
caso de incendio, envíe un correo electrónico a [email protected].
Fire safety starts at home - When families have fire plans in place, they are much more likely to escape
the dangers should a fire occur. Because a fire can separate parents from their children, it’s important
that everyone knows how to get out of the house safely and where to go. Teaching your kids to be
resourceful in dangerous situations can help them in every aspect of their lives. For more information from
the American Red Cross about fire escape planning email [email protected].
