    Fishers of men

    Hello friends,

    Last weekend I presented to the parish our new goal for United in Ministry 2019. Our goal for this year is $85,850.94. If we come together as a parish, this goal should not be a burden. I encourage you to pray about how you can help contribute to this worthy cause.

    In this weekends Gospel, the God-man Jesus is  pictured in a natural and familiar setting, alongside a lake, mixing with fishermen who were repairing thier nets. He steps  into the boat belonging to Simon, and pushes off a bit from shore. From the boat, he taught the crowds gathered along the shoreline. When he finished teaching, he apparently decided to display his supernatural power, to establish, if you will, his credentials with these good but ordinary fishermen. Jesus sets them up for a miraculous catch of fish, a great haul, so great that their nets snapped under the weight. "When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at the knees of Jesus and said, " Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man." From that moment, Simon became a fisher of men. I wonder if any of that applies to us now?

    Hola amigos,

    La semana pasada les presente nuestra la nueva meta que tenemos para este 2019 en Unidos en Ministerio. Nuestra meta es juntar $85,850.94. Ojala y todos podamos contribuir con lo que puedan para esta cuase. Dice el dicho que de grano en grano, la gallina llena el buche. Con el dinero que cada parraquia aporta en Unidos en Ministerio, la diocesis provee diferentes ministerios a traves de la diocesis. Esto ayda con la educacion de los diaconos permanentes, con la formacion de neuestros seminarists (futuros lideres en la Iglesia), para la educacion Catholica, y  muchas cosas mas. Asi que les pido por favor que consideren ayudarnos en esta cuasa. Recuerden que si juntamos mas de la meta, ese dinero se no regresa a la parroquia para hacer trabajos en los ministerios y para la manutencion de la iglesia.

    ​Fr. Alex Urena
