Gospel Acclamation
Nicene Creed
Penitential Rite (Confiteor)
I confess to almighty God and to you, my brothers and sisters, that I
have greatly sinned, in my thoughts and in my words, in what I have
done and in what I have failed to do, through my fault, through my
fault, through my most grievous fault; therefore I ask blessed Mary
ever-Virgin, all the Angels and Saints, and you, my brothers and
sisters, to pray for me to the Lord our God.
I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and
earth, of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus
Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all
ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all
things were made; For us men and for our salvation he came down
from heaven,
(all bow) and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death
and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with
the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right
hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living
and the dead and his kingdom will have no end. I believe in the
Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father
and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and
glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. I believe in one,
holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the
forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Creo en un solo Dios, Padre todopoderoso, Creador del cielo y de la
tierra. Creo en un solo Señor, Jesucristo, Hijo único de Dios, nacido
del Padre antes de todos los siglos: Dios de Dios, Luz de Luz, Dios
verdadero de Dios verdadero, engendrado, no creado, de la misma
naturaleza del Padre, por quien todo fue hecho; que por nosotros, los
hombres, y por nuestras salvación bajó del cielo,
Todos se inclinan: Y por obra del Espíritu Santo se encarnó de María,
la Virgen, y se hizo hombre;
Y por nuestra causa fue crucificado en tiempos de Poncio Pilato;
padeció y fue sepultado, y resucitó al tercer día, según las Escrituras,
y subió al cielo, y está sentado a la derecha del Padre; y de nuevo
vendrá con gloria para juzgar a vivos y muertos, y su reino no tendrá
fin. Creo en el Espíritu Santo, Señor y dador de vida, que procede
del Padre y el Hijo, que con el Padre y el Hijo recibe una misma
adoración y gloria, y que habló por los profetas. Creo en la Iglesia,
que es una, santa, católica y apostólica. Confieso que hay un solo
bautismo para el perdón de los pecados. Espero la resurrección de
los muertos y la vida del mundo futuro. Amén.

APÓSTOL DE CALIFORNIA X [Apostle of California]
According to the legend, the “rosary of Missions” that ultimately spanned from San Diego to Sonoma were planned a “day’s
journey” apart to facilitate travel and commerce. But during Serra’s life time the journey from North [Monterey] to San Diego was
measured in months, rather than in days. Apparently his plan was to have a “poblado” that is inhabited place every three days
journey [some twenty-five leagues, or 65 miles between them] so that “every third day one might sleep in a “poblado.” The
“highway” the Franciscans created was not uniquely named “El Camino Real” [the King’s Highway], because every “highway” in
the new world was called the same, whether in California or New Mexico or other locale, and the designation of Highway 101 as
“El Camino Real” came about much later in 1892. Highway 101 roughly parallels the route of the early explorers, Fr. Juan Crespí
and his military guide Portolá, who travelled north at the beginning of the Missionary period. By the end of the busy year of 1771,
there were 4 missions established, not as we see them today with churches and facilities, but with makeshift chapels and cells for
the friars and larger open rooms for the residents. Two were in the south [San Diego and San Gabriel] and two in the north
[Carmel and San Antonio] with an enormous gap between them. The results of establishing the missions had been mixed with
equal parts success and some conversions and baptisms, along with many set-backs. Another problem that came along with the
missions began to surface during these early days with the infection of the native people with European diseases, mostly syphilis
and small pox. The Padres knew nothing of germ theory, and they certainly did not know that people living in close quarters
created an incubator for many diseases.
IHM Pray for us Fr. Jerry
APOSTOL DE CALIFORNIA X
Según la leyenda, el “rosario de misiones” que finalmente se extendió de San Diego a Sonoma fueron planeadas con una distancia
de “un dia de viaje” para facilitar los viajes y el comercio. Pero durante la vida de Serra, el viaje del Norte (Monterey) a San Diego
era medida en meses, en vez de días. Aparentemente su plan era tener un poblado cada tres días de viaje (como unas venticinco
leguas o 65 millas entre ellas) asi que “cada tercer día uno podía dormir en un poblado.” El “camino” que crearon los Franciscanos
no fué únicamente llamado “El Camino Real,” porque cada “camino” en el nuevo mundo fué llamado igual, ya sea en California, o
Nuevo México u otras localidades, y la designación de Autopista 101 como “El Camino Real” vino mucho más tarde en el año
1892. La Autopista 101 aproximadamente es paralela a la ruta de los primeros exploradores, Fraile Juan Crespí y su guía militar
Portolá, quién viajó norte al principio del período misionero. Al final del muy ocupado año del 1771, había cuatro misiones
establecidas, no como se ven hoy en día con Iglesias y otras facilidades, sino con capillas móviles y celdas para los frailes y cuartos
más grandes para los residentes. Dos estaban en el sur (San Diego y San Gabriel) y dos en el norte (Carmel y San Antonio) con una
enorme distancia entre las dos. Los resultados de establecer las misiones fué con una mezcla con partes iguales de triunfo y
algunas conversiones y bautizos, al igual que muchos atrasos. Otro problema que vino con las misiones empezó a surgir durante los
primeros días con la infección de los nativos con enfermedades Europeas, mayormente de sífilis y viruela. Los Padres no sabían
nada acerca de la teoría de los gérmenes y ellos verdaderamente no sabían que la gente que vivía en sitios cerrados creaban una
incubadora para muchas enfermedades. ICM Ora por nosotros Fr. Jerry

In the wake of the tragic events in Paris on
November 13, 2015, Catholic Charities of the
East Bay urges the community to stand in
solidarity with the hundreds of thousands of
Syrians and others displaced by the violence
in their homeland.
While this is a complex issue, we urge our
community to avoid the impulse to blame all
refugees for the actions of terrorist
organizations. They, too, are victims of
violence and persecution and seek a place of
safety and freedom. Instead, let us stand
firm and serve the marginalized, just as we
pray for continued healing and safety in our
communities.
We urge you to take action Today:
