Scripture Readings September 20, 2015
Wis 2:12, 17-20 Ps 54:3-4, 5-8 Jas 3:16 – 4:3
Mk 9:30-37
Jesus speaks (1, Ps) of his own rejection, torture, and
shameful death. True discipleship, he says, is
concerned not with status but with service to the poor
(3), with justice and peace (2).

Nosotros, El pueblo de Dios en la parroquia del Sagrado Corazón, estamos intentando constantemente hacernos
una comunidad de fe, que creyendo en Jesús, proclamamos el Reino de Dios y compartimos el misterio de la fe
adorando al Padre, permitiendo a todos los miembros un crecimiento en su relación interpersonal a través del
Hijo y siendo testigo de nuestros dones a través del servicio activo a otros en el Espíritu.

familiar, porque el joven matrimonio cree
profundamente que la familia nace de la Cruz. Cuando
surge un problema o irrumpe un conflicto, será delante
de esta cruz que buscarán ayuda. No irán a un abogado,
no consultarán a un adivino o a un astrólogo, no
dependerán de un psicólogo para resolver sus
dificultades. No, irán directamente delante de su Jesús,
delante de la cruz. Ahí se arrodillarán y llorarán sus
lágrimas y derramarán sus corazones frente a Jesús y,
sobre todo, intercambiarán su perdón. No se irán a
dormir con un peso en el corazón porque se habrán
vuelto a su Jesús, al Unico que tiene poder para salvar.
Enseñarán a sus hijos a besar la cruz cada día y a no
irse a dormir como los paganos, sin haber primero dado
gracias a Jesús. En cuanto a los hijos, el primero de sus
recuerdos será que Jesús ha sido siempre el Amigo de la
familia, respetado y abrazado. Le dicen ³buenas noches²
a Jesús y besan la cruz. (Como dice el Padre Jozo, ³se
van a dormir con Jesús, ¡no con un osito de peluche!²).
Saben que Jesús los abraza y que no no hay nada de qué
temer y sus miedos se desvanecen en su beso a Jesús

A Few words about our 21 Club project.
Few weeks ago, we began our 21 Club fund-raising to
provide our church with modern digital monitors. Our
church serves many age groups, all involved in a
variety of activities. Static presentations limit our
ability to communicate effectively especially to folks
with children staying in the gathering spaces.
Our intention is to provide monitors in the lobby,
hallways, and at the sides of the church to alert all
members to important announcements, share homily
highlights and upcoming events in the church.
Friends, many of us may be asking: what for? Of what
purpose will these monitors serve? We understand your
concerns. However, it is proven that visual
communication systems are attractive and keep
people’s attention, especially our young ones. It is our
hope that this project will help promote active
participation among our youth and offer volunteer
opportunities for all. It will equally provide
personalized messages for our visitors. It will also
promote upcoming events with detailed schedules and
will definitely help our priests and deacons to
share homily highlights and hymn lyrics to encourage
active participation among us.
My friends, we solicit your support by becoming a 21
Club participant. With your help we shall be able to
provide spirit-filled gospel messages and services for
all of us. With a robust audio system and digital
display technology for our church, we shall implement
some solutions that will be easy to use and have the
ability to transmit the gospel message to all present.
For questions, contact Father Hamilton at the parish
office: 410-833-1696.
Christian Formation and Evangelization
Do You Know what we mean by “non-Catholic”
Bibles? This label is used for translations of the Bible
done by Protestants or under the auspices of a
Protestant Church or organization.
This does not mean that a translation is “theologically
slanted.” It does mean that seven Old Testament books
will not be included or, if included, will be labeled
“Apocrypha.”
It also means that the Catholic Church has not given
official approval to that translation or originally did not
have anything to do with its development.
Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)
Come meet some faithful Catholics who love the Lord.
Sacred Heart will soon begin its RCIA sessions to
share with other the truths of the Catholic faith and the
fellowship of our church family. We invite you to
learn what Catholics believe in an open and welcoming
environment.
These sessions also are opportunities for you to ask
those perplexing and difficult questions you may have
about the Church. The sessions are intended for people
who are not Catholic or who have not completed their
initiation as Catholics.
If you, or someone you know, are interested or would
like more information, please call Sister Jude (410833-1696; srjude@shgparish.org).
Adult Confirmation
Confirmation is a requirement to be a godparent or a
sponsor for Confirmation. If you are over 18 and have
never been confirmed, please contact Sister Jude (410833-1696;
srjude@shgparish.org)
for
more
information.
Archbishop Lori will confer the Sacrament of
Confirmation on Oct. 4, 2015 during the 4:30 PM at
the Basilica of the Assumption.
Parish Picnic
Our annual Parish Picnic will be held on Sunday,
September 20, 2015 on the school side field. We will
begin our picnic after the Noon Mass.
Ministry Fair and Coffee House
Our Ministry Fair will be on Sunday, September 20,
after the 7:30, 9:00, 10:30 and Noon Masses.
It will be outside the Main Church in the courtyard
under a tent. We will have Coffee House outside by
the Ministry Fair on this Sunday after the 9 and 10:30
Masses. All other Coffee Houses will be held in the
Mother Seton Room after the 10:30 AM Mass.
A Message to Parents
Parents, a vocation to priesthood or religious life
capitalizes on your child’s unique personality, gifts and
talents. If your child expresses an interest in becoming
a sister, brother or priest, offer encouragement and
support.

Sacred Heart School
Fellow Parishioners,
Have you ever received an unexpected gift?
Perhaps this was a tangible gift, or it may have been a
symbol of God’s grace being present in a tangible way.
In the week of August 31st, I was blessed to find three
of these.
I saw two of our intermediate teachers in a
quiet moment in her planning period, and we had a
moment to catch up. They relayed to me how many of
their students from the previous year, now in middle
school, have come by to see them. This, in and of
itself, shows the love in our community and is a great
gift, but what the students are collectively saying is a
further gift still: “we love middle school!” No one is
telling our students to visit their former teachers or say
this; rather, they’re choosing to because they’re happy,
joyful, and loving their school—a great gift to witness
indeed!
At another moment, some stakeholders we
partner with met with me to review some of our
programming. These stakeholders commented at length
how much we do as a school to support their work, and
thanked us for that, but said that other schools they
partner with often are difficult, challenging, or
downright unwelcoming to them, which can be a great
burden. Later that day, they came back to say they’d
reflected further on how grateful they were for our
partnership, and gave me a daily prayer/reflection book
I could use for my own faith journey, and to share with
our community. This was an amazing and powerful
gesture, and was completely unexpected. I am grateful
to them!
Later, a new student in our middle school, who
I saw coming in from recess, was excited to see me.
She shared that her younger sibling, in our Pre-K
program, has seen me close our morning
announcements with a salute I tend to do (and I say
“God bless you Sacred Heart, signing off!” when I do
that). Her sibling did that same gesture with her and the
other Pre-K children and really enjoyed doing it! What
a gift that our Pre-K students would hold onto a gesture
I hope reminds them of God’s blessing in their lives.
Unexpected gifts often have a certain power
precisely because of the surprise nature of the gift.
Some two thousand years earlier, the greatest
unexpected gift came to all of us when our Savior
became man, and God directly stepped into each of our
lives. This week, let us find those gifts that God so
often sends to us and in our over-busy world, may we
pause for a few seconds and give great praise to God
for His bountiful love in doing so.
In Christ,
Mr. Coyle, Principal
