parish office. The stipend for the Mass is $10. The candles are
$30 for 1 month, $60 for 6 months, or $90 for one year. Our

Vocation Awareness Week. November 1-7, 2015 is National Vocation Awareness
Week. This week is dedicated to promote vocations to the priesthood, diaconate and
consecrated life through prayer and education and to renew our prayers and support
for those who are considering one of these particular vocations.
The parish is a fertile ground for these particular vocations. You can help me
remember those members of our parish, either by membership or association, who
became sisters, priests and deacons. To my knowledge, the parish has produced Fr.
James Herrera. Fr. Herrera went through RCIA here. He was ordained a priest in
2013. We also trained seminarians who are now priests. Remember Fr. Peter O’Brien?
Fr. Guillermo Ramirez? Fr. Bob Picatielo? Fr. Dominic? Fr. Pierson? Fr. Jorge
Robles? And in not very remote time, Deacons Tetzel Umingli and Leon Vigil will
join their ranks. We also have Ace Tupasi, who continues to discern his priestly
vocation.
I encourage the young and the parents to be open to these particular vocations. My office, being the
local vocation promoter, is available to help you understand and navigate the resources available for your
discernment.
To the whole parish, let us pray for vocations. Let us pray for our own youth, that they may desire to
become priests, deacons and religious. Let us also pray for those who are in the seminary and nunnery, that
they may persevere in their vocation. Finally let us pray for those who are active in ministry, that they may
always be faithful and committed to God and their ministry.

The Sanctuary Area. Continuing our discussion about our sacred space, I would like to move forward
giving focus this time to the sanctuary. I would like to lift from the document “Built of Living Stones”
principles governing the sanctuary space. These are paragraphs number 54 and 55 of the above mentioned
document.
“The sanctuary is the space where the altar and the ambo stand, and where the priest, deacon and other
ministers exercise their offices. The special character of the sanctuary is emphasized and enhanced by the
distinctiveness of its design and furnishings, or by its elevation…Its design is to convey the unique quality of
the actions that take place in this area while at the same time expressing the organic relationship between those
actions and the prayer and actions of the entire liturgical assembly. The sanctuary must be spacious enough to
accommodate the full celebration of the various rituals of word and Eucharist with their accompanying
movement, as well as those of the other sacraments celebrated there.”
“The principal ritual furnishings within the sanctuary are the altar on which the Eucharistic sacrifice is
offered, the ambo from which God’s word is proclaimed, and the chair of the priest celebrant. These furnishings should be constructed of substantial materials that express dignity and stability. Their placement and their
design again make it clear that although they are distinct entities, they are related in the one Eucharistic
celebration.”
Semana de Conciencia Vocacional. del 1 al 7 de Noviembre del 2015 es la Semana Nacional de la Concientización sobre la Vocación. Esta semana se dedica a promover las vocaciones al sacerdocio, al diaconado y a la
vida consagrada a través de la oración y la educación y para renovar nuestras oraciones y apoyo para aquellos
que estén pensando en particular en una de estas vocaciones.
La parroquia es un terreno fértil para estas vocaciones particulares. Usted puede ayudar a recordar a los
miembros de nuestra parroquia, ya sea por afiliacion o asociación, para quienes serán hermanas, sacerdotes y
diáconos. Que yo sepa, la parroquia ha dado frutos en estas vocaciones como El Padre James Herrera. Padre
Herrera fue a través de RICA aquí. Fue ordenado sacerdote en 2013. también seminaristas capacitados que
ahora son sacerdotes. Recuerda al Padre Peter O'Brien? Padre Guillermo Ramírez? Padre Bob Picatielo? Padre
Dominic? Padre Pierson? Padre Jorge Robles? Y con el tiempo no muy remoto, Diáconos Tetzel Umingli y
León Vigil se unirán a esta lista. También tenemos Ace Tupasi, quien sigue en discernir su vocación
sacerdotal.
(continua en la pagina proxima)
Animo a los jóvenes y los padres de estar abiertos a estas vocaciones particulares. Mi oficina, siendo el
promotor vocacional local está disponible para ayudar a entender y buscar los recursos disponibles para su discernimiento.
Que todos como parroquia, oremos por las vocaciones. Oremos por nuestra propia juventud, por el deseo de convertirse en sacerdotes, diáconos, religiosos y religiosas. Oremos también para aquellos que están en
el seminario y convento, para que perseveren en su vocación. Finalmente oremos por los que están activos en
el ministerio, para que siempre puedan ser fieles y comprometidos con Dios y a su ministerio.

El Área del Santuario. Continuando con nuestra discusión acerca de nuestro espacio sagrado, me gustaría
avanzar dando enfoque esta vez al santuario. Me gustaría a partir del documento ", Construido de Piedras Vivas" principios que rigen el espacio del santuario. Estos son los párrafos número 54 y 55 del documento mencionado anteriormente.
"El santuario es el espacio donde esta el altar y el ambón, y donde el sacerdote, diácono y otros ministros sirven. El carácter especial del santuario se enfatiza y es reforzada por el carácter distintivo de su diseño y
mobiliario, o mediante su elevación ... Su diseño es transmitir la calidad única de las acciones que tienen lugar
en esta zona y, al mismo tiempo que expresa la relación orgánica entre las acciones y de la oración y acciones
de toda la asamblea litúrgica. El santuario debe ser suficiente para dar cabida a la celebración completa de los
diferentes rituales de la Palabra y de la Eucaristía con su movimiento que acompaña, así como los de los otros
sacramentos celebrados allí ".
"Los principales muebles rituales dentro del santuario son el altar en el que se ofrece el sacrificio eucarístico, el ambón desde donde se proclama la Palabra de Dios, y la silla del sacerdote celebrante. Estos muebles deben estar construidos con materiales sustanciales que expresan la dignidad y la estabilidad. Su colocación y su diseño de nuevo dejan claro que a pesar de que son entidades distintas, están relacionadas en la celebración eucarística ".

According to 2012 figures most of the children live
in sub-Saharan Africa and were infected by their
HIV-positive mothers during pregnancy, childbirth
or breastfeeding. Over 700 children become newly
infected with HIV each day. Pregnant women living
with HIV who receive the most effective drug
regimens (as recommended by World Health
Organization) prevent mother-to-child transmission
of the virus.

Eucharistic Adoration of the Blessed
Sacrament
“I am not in an audience with our Holy Father,
nor am I in the presence of a saint from heaven, nor
with some distinguished personality. Before me,
dear Jesus, You are present under the frail
appearance of the host. With the eyes of faith I
believe that You are present as my God, my Lord,
my Redeemer, the Creator of heaven and earth, my
all. I believe, dear Jesus that You are truly present,
body and blood, soul and divinity, in the most
Blessed Sacrament.”
(Reflections and Prayers for Visits with Our
Eucharistic Lord, by John J. Cardinal Carberry)
Please join us for Eucharistic Adoration of the
Blessed Sacrament. Adoration is available in the
chapel 24 hours every day. For adoration outside of
the 24-hour regular Thursday schedule, call the
office for instructions and to enlist. Everyone is
welcome. Spend as much or as little time as you
can. Thank you for offering our Lord this special
hour. Expect God's blessing, and give Him thanks.

Thirty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time
GIVING ALL
Trusting widows play a significant role in this weekend’s readings. At the point of poverty, when giving even
the smallest amount of what they had could imperil their
health and well-being, they trusted God and gave anyway.
What is important about their giving is not what or how
much they gave, but how they gave it. Without selfishness,
they gave to help others. Their giving was from the heart,
with little hope or intention of receiving any sort of reward
or recognition for their generosity. The monetary values of
the widows’ gifts were small, but their value measured in
the Kingdom was priceless.
There is a significant similarity between their gift and
the gift Jesus gave each of us. The widows offered their
lives for God. Jesus offered his life for us.

TODAY’S READINGS

(1 Kings 17:10-16).

DO ANYTHING

Trigésimo Segundo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
ENTREGA TOTAL
Las viudas confiadas juegan un importante papel en
las lecturas de esta semana. Aunque eran pobres y el dar
aún algo bien pequeño podría poner en peligro su salud y
bienestar, confiaban en Dios y daban lo que podían. Lo
que es importante sobre sus donativos no es la cantidad
que daban, sino que daban algo. Sin egoísmo, daban para
ayudar a otros. Su dar salía del corazón, con poca esperanza o intención de recibir algún premio o reconocimiento
por su generosidad. El valor monetario de los dones de las
viudas eran pequeños, pero su valor en la medida del
Reino era inestimable.
Hay una gran semejanza entre su regalo y el regalo
que Jesús ha dado a cada uno de nosotros. Las viudas ofrecieron sus vidas a Dios. Jesús ofreció su vida por nosotros.
© Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.
LECTURAS DE HOY
Primera lectura — El profeta Elías pide a una viuda pobre
que le dé algo de beber y un poco de pan. Cuando ella compartió, su escasez fue saciada (1 Reyes 17:10-16).
Salmo — El Señor siempre es fiel a su palabra
(Psalm 146 [145]).
Segunda lectura — Cristo se sacrificó una sola vez para borrar todos los pecados de los hombres (Hebreos 9:24-28).
Evangelio — El óbolo de la viuda de unos cuántos centavos es mucho más grande que todas las otras donaciones
porque en su pobreza, ha dado todo lo que tenía para vivir
(Marcos 12:38-44 [41-44]).
HAZ CUALQUIER COSA
Iré a cualquier lugar y haré cualquier cosa para convidar el amor de Jesús a quienes no lo conocen o a quienes
ya se olvidaron de él.
Prayer Corner 

GOD’S WORD TODAY
Saint Mark’s Gospel has been a rich source of challenge and inspiration for us as we have moved through
these latter Sundays of Ordinary Time. Today we hear the familiar story of the poor widow who placed her
two small coins in the temple treasury. She did not give from her surplus, simply because she had no surplus.
The Lord tells us that she gave from her poverty. In the first reading the widow of Zarephath gives Elijah her
final store of food. She admits that without this food, she and her son will soon die. Yet her generosity and
selflessness result in a jug of oil that never runs dry and a jar of flour that never goes empty. May these two
women inspire us to respond to the Lord with generous hearts.
From Saint Margaret Sunday Missal, copyright © J. S. Paluch Company
LA PALABRA DE DIOS HOY
El Evangelio según san Marcos ha sido una fuente caudalosa, llena de retos e inspiraciones para nosotros en
estos últimos domingos del Tiempo Ordinario. Hoy escuchamos la historia tan familiar de la viuda pobre, que
puso dos moneditas en las alcancías del templo. Ella no dio de lo que le sobraba, sencillamente porque nada
le sobraba. El Señor nos dice que ella dio desde su pobreza. En la primera lectura la viuda de Sarepta le da a
Elías el poco alimento que le quedaba almacenado. Ella admite que sin este alimento ella y su hijo pronto
morirían. Y así resultó que por su generosidad y abnegación la vasija de aceite nunca se agotó ni la tinaja de
harina se vació. Que estas dos mujeres nos inspiren a responderle al Señor con un corazón generoso.

The Archbishop’s Catholic Appeal provides substantial financial support to essential ministries that support parishes in our Catholic Church in western Oregon. In the 2015 Appeal, the Archdiocese highlighted their priority of helping
our young people to encounter Christ personally in their lives, to grow in their
relationship with Jesus and His Church, and to take their rightful places – along with all of us – in the evangelizing mission of the church.
Right now our parish is at 56% of our goal, with 14% participation. We would like to reach our goal with
100% participation … if you have not completed and returned your donation card, please prayerfully make
your pledge and return it to the church office or you may send it directly to the Archdiocese.
To learn more about the 2015 Archbishop’s Catholic Appeal, please go online to view the appeal video at
www.archdpdx.org/appeal. This video showcases some of the outreach to junior high and high school age
youth that is going on in the Archdiocese.
