Saint Canera, patroness of Irish Sailors, is sitting in a boat with an oil lamp, the symbol of wisdom and virginity, with a monastery on an island in the background where she sought spiritual rest. She was refused entrance to the island but was given Eucharist just before she died. The shamrock speaks to her Irish ancestry.

MISSION STATEMENT The parish family of St. Canera sees as its mission to work together and in the larger community to know, love, and serve God. Based on Scripture, the sacraments, and our Roman Catholic tradition, we seek to recognize our dependence on God, grow spiritually, become images of Christ, educate adults and assist in educating children, and as God’s instruments, share our faith with and welcome others. MISION DE NUESTRA PARROQUIA La Familia Parroquial de Santa Canera considera que su misión es trabajar unidos e integrarse a la comunidad cristiana más amplia para conocer, amar, y servir a Dios. Fundamentados en la Escritura y en la Tradición de nuestra Iglesia Católica Romana, procuramos reconocer nuestra dependencia de Dios, crecer espiritualmente, convertirnos en imagen de Cristo, educar a los adultos y acompañar la educación de los niños y jóvenes; y, como instrumentos de Cristo, compartir nuestra fe y acoger a los otros. LECTURAS DE ESTE DOMINGO Primera Lectura: Deuteronomio 4, 32-34. 39-40 Salmo Responsorial: 33, 4-5. 6 y 9. 18-19. 20 y 22 Segunda Lectura: Romanos 8, 14-17 Evangelio: Mateo 28, 16-20 LECTURAS DEL PROXIMO DOMINGO Primera Lectura: Éxodo 24, 3-8 Salmo Responsorial: 116, 12-13. 15 y 16bc. 17-18 Segunda Lectura: Hebreos 9, 11-15 Evangelio: Marcos 14, 12-16. 22-26 Mis queridos hermanos y hermanas, La solemnidad de la Santísima Trinidad no es tanto acerca de la celebración de una doctrina, ya que se celebra el misterio de la acción y la presencia de Dios entre nosotros. La última línea del Evangelio de hoy nos remonta a los principios del evangelio de Mateo acerca de Jesús que se llama Emmanuel, que significa Dios con nosotros. Mateo concluye su Evangelio con el gran encargo seguido de la maravillosa promesa: "Dioscon-nosotros.": "Y he aquí que yo estoy con ustedes todos los días hasta el fin del mundo”. ¡Qué maravillosa promesa para todos nosotros a medida que continuamos en nuestro camino hacia el reino-nuestro, Dios Trino que nos acompaña. No es casualidad que la palabra "acompañar" y "compañero" se derivan de las palabras en latín "pan" y "con". Por lo tanto, un compañero es uno con los que compartimos el pan. Esto da una nueva profundidad a todo lo que significa para nosotros en lo que respecta a nuestra celebración semanal de la Eucaristía. Hay un icono o figura maravillosa que muestra a la Trinidad como tres personas sentadas alrededor de una mesa. En cada Eucaristía, nuestras oraciones se dirigen al Padre con el Hijo y en el Espíritu Santo. Que la Santísima Trinidad nos acompañe en nuestra peregrinación terrena hasta que alcancemos el Reino a donde vamos a vivir con ellos para siempre. Con cariño, P. Hank Rosario Guadalupano Cada Viernes 7:00 p.m. En el templo Parroquial Grupo de Oración Todos los domingos de 3:00-5:00 p.m. Venga y únase a nosotros para oír la Palabra de Dios, para rezar y cantarle las alabanzas al Señor.

The last line of the Gospel today hearkens us back to the beginning of Matthew’s gospel about Jesus being called Emmanuel which means “GodWith-Us.” Matthew concludes his Gospel with the great commission followed by the wonderful promise: “And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.” What a wonderful assurance for us all as we continue on our pilgrim way to the kingdom—our Triune God accompanies us. It is no coincidence that the word “accompany” and “companion” derive from the Latin words for “bread” and “with”. Thus, a companion is one with whom we share bread. This gives a whole new depth of meaning for us with regard to our weekly celebration of the Eucharist. There is a wonderful icon that pictures the Trinity as three persons sitting around a table. In every Eucharist, our prayers are directed TO the Father WITH the Son and IN the Holy Spirit. May the Holy Trinity accompany us on our earthly pilgrimage until we reach the Kingdom where we will live with them forever. With fond affection, Fr. Hank WEB SITE www.canera.org Bulletins * Schedules * Information Remember when you are considering your will to think about including the parish among your beneficiaries.
