The Dominican Order has been praying this “sword of justice” for centuries, imitating Mary by contemplating the life of Mary’s Son. http://www.rosary-center.org/nroscon.htm A Message From Fr. Roberto, O.P. Parish theme for this year: It’s All about Jesus! ¡Todo Por Jesús! Save the Dates! • St. Dominic – This summer we will once again be celebrating the feast of St. Dominic, the founder of our Dominican Order. There will be a bilingual novena from Monday, August 3 to Saturday, August 8 that will include a recitation of the Rosary, a talk about Dominican spirituality and then Mass each evening. On Saturday, August 8th, we will have a bilingual Mass at 5:30 p.m. followed by a reception. • Fr. Vicente – Then, on Saturday, August 29th, we will celebrate Fr. Vicente’s 60th anniversary of ordination to the priesthood with Mass at 5:30 p.m. followed by a reception. Come join us and honor Fr. Vicente! Fr. Bart Is Coming I am happy to say we are going to get another Dominican priest this summer. His name is Fr. Bart Hutcherson, OP, and he has spent most of his priesthood doing campus ministry in Salt Lake City, Las Vegas and Tucson. He is currently finishing up a sabbatical year – he has been in the Holy Land, in Spain studying Spanish, and currently he is walking the Camino de Santiago, the famous pilgrimage trail in Spain. He is very energetic, fun and a great preacher. I am sure you will all like him a lot. Fr. Bart is scheduled to arrive in early July. Don’t Go to Church I could probably get into trouble if any of you tell the bishop I said “Don’t go to church,” but the image on the right explains what I mean. Obviously, I believe going to church is important, and I have said so many times in my homilies; going to church is an essential part of living out our faith. But even more important than going to church is being the church. Anybody can just go to church – just show up, go through the motions and “get the obligation out of the way” – with no commitment, no passion, no desire to serve and no desire for growth. But being church is a whole different reality. “Church” is not something we do but who we are! http://unejetoj.org/unejetoj/wpToday we celebrate the great feast of Pentecost when the disciples of Jesus content/uploads/2015/03/bethechurch300x300.jpg received the Holy Spirit and began to BE the church. As I have said many times, our Church’s feast days are not just opportunities to celebrate something that happened 2,000 years ago; they are a reality that is available to us right now! You and I have received the same Holy Spirit and we have the same mission as those first disciples of Jesus: to be the Church of Jesus Christ and – as I said in my homily last weekend – to “Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15). The Feast of Pentecost reminds us just how powerful the Holy Spirit can be because it changed a group of fearful, doubting, uneducated and self-absorbed followers of Jesus into dynamic, fearless and passionate disciples and preachers. After Pentecost, the apostles were never the same. Do you dare ask God for that kind of experience in your life? Unfortunately, so often we Catholics do not live out the fullness of the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Are you a Catholic who just goes to church, whose faith is just about http://justshineon.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/HS2.jpg you and your needs? Are you a “consumer Catholic” who comes to church only when you feel like it just to get your needs met? Or are you a Catholic who wants to be the Church by being transformed, by serving, by seeking to grow in your faith and by sharing your faith with others? God’s desire is for us to be Catholics whose faith is focused outward toward others, not inwards toward ourselves. He wants us to be filled with passion for our faith and a sense of mission. So, let us be Catholics with a mission. Let us light our own lives and our world on fire for Jesus. Let us not just go to church but to be church! http://keithburnettministries.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/ Dont-Go-to-Church.jpg Magnificat June Prayer Breakfast Ministry to Catholic Women Saturday, June 6, 2015 9:30am-12:30pm Crowne Plaza Hotel 45 John Glenn Drive in Concord We are excited to welcome Kitty Cleveland, well known singer/songwriter and inspirational speaker who has appeared numerous times on EWTN television and radio.

The tradition was believed to have started at the University of Oxford in 1432 where the candidates for degrees ('bacca') were presented with laurels ('lauri") of sermonic oration. The local celebration is a solemn but joyous event filled with music by Divine Voices and the Music Masters and by short speeches by students and religious leaders, including our own Father Roberto.

It’s All about Jesus! ¡Reserva las Fechas! • Santo Domingo – Este verano una vez más a celebraremos la fiesta de Santo Domingo, el fundador de la Orden Dominicana. Habrá una novena bilingüe de lunes, 03 de agosto, al Sábado, 08 de agosto, que incluirá una recitación del Rosario, una charla acerca de la espiritualidad dominicana y luego Misa cada noche. El sábado, 08 de agosto tendremos una Misa bilingüe a las 5:30 pm y luego una recepción. • Padre Vicente – Después, el sábado, 29 de agosto, celebraremos 60° aniversario de ordenación sacerdotal de Padre Vicente con una Misa a las 5:30 pm con una recepción después. ¡Ven y únete a nosotros y honrar al P. Vicente! Viene Padre Bartolomeo Me alegro en decirles que vamos a conseguir otro sacerdote dominico este verano. Su nombre es el Padre Bartolomeo Hutcherson, OP, y ha pasado la mayor parte de su sacerdocio haciendo pastoral universitaria en Salt Lake City, Las Vegas y Tucson. Actualmente está terminando un año sabático – ha estado en la Tierra Santa, en España estudiando el español, y actualmente está caminando el Camino de Santiago, la famosa ruta de peregrinación en España. Él es muy enérgico, divertido y un gran predicador. Estoy seguro que todos vamos a disfrutar su tiempo aquí. Padre Bart está programado llegar a principios de julio. No Vayas a la Iglesia Probablemente podría meterme en problemas si alguno de ustedes le dice al obispo que yo les dije: "No vayan a la iglesia," pero la imagen de la derecha explica lo que quiero decir. Obviamente, creo que ir a la iglesia es importante, y lo he dicho tantas veces en mis homilías; ir a la iglesia es una parte esencial de vivir nuestra fe. Pero aún más importante que ir a la iglesia es ser la iglesia. Cualquier persona puede simplemente ir a la iglesia – solo aparecerse, no ponerle https:glesiaencasamalaga.files.wordpress.com/2012 /09/serir_thumb1.gif mucho corazón y “cumplir con la obligación” – sin compromiso, sin pasión, sin ningún deseo de servir o de crecer. Pero ser iglesia es una realidad completamente diferente. ¡"Iglesia" no es algo que hacemos, sino lo que somos! Hoy celebramos la gran fiesta de Pentecostés, cuando los discípulos de Jesús recibieron el Espíritu Santo y comenzaron a SER la Iglesia. Como he dicho muchas veces, los días de fiesta de nuestra Iglesia no son sólo oportunidades para celebrar algo que ocurrió hace 2.000 años; ¡son una realidad que está disponible para nosotros ahora mismo! Tú y yo hemos recibido el mismo Espíritu Santo que aquellos primeros discípulos de Jesús y tenemos la misma misión: ser la Iglesia de Jesucristo e – como dije en mi homilía el domingo pasado – ir “por todo el mundo y anunhttp://justshineon.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/HS2.jpg cien la Buena Nueva a toda la creación” (Marcos 16,15). La Fiesta de Pentecostés nos recuerda cuán poderosa el Espíritu Santo puede ser debido a que cambió a un grupo de seguidores de Jesús que eran dudosos, temerosos, sin educación y auto-absorbidos en ser discípulos y predicadores dinámicos, valientes y apasionados. Después de Pentecostés los apóstoles nunca eran los mismos. ¿Te atreves pedirle a Dios por ese tipo de experiencia en tu vida? Desafortunadamente, muchas veces nosotros los católicos no vivimos la plenitud del poder del Espíritu Santo en nuestras vidas. ¿Eres un católico que simplemente vas a la iglesia, cuya fe sólo se trata de ti y de tus necesidades? ¿Eres un "consumidor católico" que viene a la iglesia sólo cuando te apetezca y sólo para satisfacer tus necesidades? ¿O http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_MNpyAb-qeo/U6NKJPHbiGI/ AAAAAAAAPK4/7evnhht1QzY/s1600/ eres un católico que quiere ser la Iglesia por ser transformado, por servir, La+Iglesia+somos+todos-CurasOnLine.jpg por crecer en tu fe y por compartir tu fe con otros? El deseo de Dios es que seamos católicos cuya fe se enfoca hacia fuera, hacia los demás, no hacia el interior hacia nosotros mismos. Él quiere que seamos llenos de pasión por nuestra fe y de un sentido de misión. Así que, seamos católicos con una misión. Encendamos con fuego a nuestras propias vidas y a nuestro mundo para Jesús. No sólo vayamos a la iglesia, sino seamos la iglesia! Holy Rosary Church Free E-Waste Recycling Event Donate your broken or unwanted electronics Drive by and drop off! We do all the work!
