Help Support Seminarian Education
Faith Formation Classes
There will be no Children’s Faith Formation
nor Youth Group this coming week on
Wednesday, March 16th since it will be Spring
Break and March 23rd due to Holy Week.
Classes will resume on Wednesday, March 30.
Live Saions of the Cross
As a gift to the parish for all your support and help,
the Youth Group will perform “The Way of the
Cross” on Palm Sunday in the sanctuary. Please
join us for this beautiful devotion and begin Holy
Week meditating on the events of our Lord’s last day
on Earth.
Youth Villages
Youth Villages is a non-profit organization that helps
place children in foster/adoption homes. For more
information please contact Lea Ann Blitch at
LeaAnn.Blitch@youthvillages.org or 423-283-6527.
Please be generous in your support of the Diocese of Knoxville
Seminarian Education as they endeavor through the grace of God
to become our future priests! Though we are one of the smallest
dioceses in the United States, we are blessed with a rich harvest
of vocations to the priesthood. Currently, we have 9 men enrolled in
seminary studies with the hope of another 5 beginning studies this Fall for a
total of 14 seminarians. But with this wonderful blessing, comes a financial
challenge. The cost of educating just one seminarian is approximately
$45,000-a financial diocese commitment of $630,000 this coming academic
year! But your investment in the future of the priesthood is one that will
help guarantee the growth of the Catholic faith in East Tennessee. When
giving a donation, please use your envelope marked for “Seminarian
Education” and also make any checks to “Seminarian Education”. You
can now also use the “Online Giving” option! During Mass, remember to
simply drop your donations in the basket that goes around ONLY once!
Volunteers S-t-i-l-l Needed!!!
Volunteers are needed to wash and iron purificators and corporals once a
month. We also need volunteers to help us do several
chores in the sanctuary area on a weekly basis, such as
straightening books in the pews, replace votive candles,
change Holy Water, clean brass items, etc. This will assist
us in keeping our church clean and organized for Sunday
Masses as well as for our pilgrim visitors during this Year
of Mercy. We also need FRONT OFFICE
VOLUNTEERS with a flexible schedule. If interested, please call the
church office at 423-282-6367.

Support Holy Land on Good Friday
On Good Friday (March 25th), Pope Francis has asked our
parish to support Christians in the Holy Land. Through these
givings, we support Catholics around the world to stand in
solidarity with the Church in the Holy Land. When you make
a contribution, Y -O-U become an instrument of peace in a
troubled land. In these challenging times in the Middle East,
your support means that their churches can conduct parish
ministry, Catholic education, feed the hungry,
build housing for Christians, maintain shrines
and operate refugee centers. The political,
religious and military challenges they face are
more complex than ever! The wars, unrest
and instability have been especially hard on
Christians. When making a donation, please
use your envelope marked for “Holy Land” or make any
checks to “Holy Land”. You can now also use the “Online
Giving” option! During Mass, remember to simply drop
your donations in the basket that goes around ONLY once!

communities Please remember to bring your rice bowl donation

siempre necesita voluntarios para los diferentes ministerios que
trabajan durante la celebración eucarística cada domingo. Te
invitamos a orar y discernir si nuestro Señor te está llamando a
servirle como lector, monaguillo, ujier, ministro extraordinario
de la Eucaristía o en el coro. Para más información, mira la
página 9 de este boletín para los contactos de cada ministerio.
El Reto de la Despensa de Alimentos para este mes es que cada familia
traiga a la despensa: 1 libra de frijoles secoas y galletas.
Si conoce a alguien que puede estar en necesidad de alimentos o
financiera, por favor llame al 423-434-0836 y deje un mensaje.
¡Donaciones en Línea!
Se Necesitan Voluntarios
Se necesitan voluntarios para lavar y planchar los purificadores y corporales una
vez al mes. También necesitamos voluntarios para ayudar a hacer varias tareas en
el santuario semanalmente, como enderezar los libros en las bancas, reemplazar
las velitas votivas, cambiar el agua bendita, limpiar artículos de metal, etc. Esto
nos ayudará a mantener limpia y organizada nuestra iglesia para las misas
dominicales, así como para nuestros visitantes peregrinos en este Año de la
Misericordia. También necesitamos voluntarios que nos puedan ayudar con
diferentes tareas en la oficina pero necesitan ser bilingues. Si está interesado, por
favor llame a la oficina de la iglesia al 423-282-6367 y notifique su disponibilidad.
La parroquia ofrecerá la habilidad de dar tu ofrenda a la iglesia
a través del Internet. El proceso de hacer tu donación en línea
es sencillo, seguro y confiable. Por favor, ven preparado con la
información de tu cuenta de cheques, cuenta de ahorros, tarjeta
de débito, o tarjeta de crédito con el fin de inscribirte después
de la misas del 12-13 de marzo en el Área de Convivencia. Dar
tu ofrenda en línea, o la concesión electrónica automática
recurrente, es simplemente un método mucho mejor: uno que
ayuda a la parroquia y a ti.
Quinceañeras
Apoya la educación de Seminaristas
Si esta planificando celebrar un quinceañero en nuestra iglesia, favor de
llamar a Guadalupe Tapia, 423-943-8908 para apartar la fecha y
comenzar la preparación. La joven tambien debe asistir al Grupo de
Jóvenes por lo menos un año antes de solicitar esta celebración.
Por favor, se generoso apoyando al fondo para la Educación de
Seminaristas de la Diócesis de Knoxville, mientras estos se
esfuerzan, por la gracia de Dios, para convertirse en nuestros
futuros sacerdotes. Aunque somos una de las diócesis más
pequeñas en los Estados Unidos, hemos sido bendecidos con una
rica cosecha de vocaciones al sacerdocio. En la actualidad,
contamos con 9 hombres estudiando para ser sacerdotes con la
esperanza de que otros 5 ingresen al seminario el próximo otoño,
para un total de 14 seminaristas. Pero con esta maravillosa
bendición, viene un desafío financiero. El costo de educar a un sólo
seminarista es de aproximadamente $45,000, por lo que la diócesis
tendrá compromiso financiero de $630,000 el próximo año
académico. Sin embargo, su inversión en el futuro del sacerdocio
es una que ayudará a garantizar el crecimiento de la fe católica en el
este de Tennessee. Al dar una donación, por favor utilice su sobre
de las ofrendas marcado para “Educación de Seminaristas” o
puede hacer un cheque marcado para “Educación Seminarista.”
Ahora también podrá usar la opción de "“Donaciones en línea.”
Durante la misa, recuerde que simplemente debe poner sus
donaciones en la canasta de las ofrendas.
Apoya a la Tierra Santa el Viernes Santo
El Viernes Santo, el Papa Francisco ha pedido que apoyemos a los
cristianos en Tierra Santa. A través de esta donación, apoyamos a los
católicos de todo el mundo y estamos en solidaridad con la Iglesia en
Tierra Santa. Cuando haces una contribución, te conviertes en un
instrumento de paz para un lugar con problemas. En estos tiempos
difíciles en el Medio Oriente, tu apoyo significa que estas iglesias
podrán llevar a cabo el ministerio parroquial y la educación católica,
alimentar a los hambrientos, construir viviendas para los cristianos,
mantener santuarios y operar los centros de refugiados. Los desafíos
políticos, religiosos y militares que se enfrentan son más complejos que
nunca. Las guerras, disturbios y la inestabilidad han sido especialmente
duro para los cristianos. Al hacer una donación, por favor usa el sobre
marcado para "Tierra Santa" o haz un cheque marcado para la
"Tierra Santa". Ahora también puedes usar la opción "Donación en
línea". Durante la misa, recuerda poner tus donaciones en la canasta
de las ofrendas.

Year of Mercy / Año de La Misericordia
Two resources explaining the Church’s teaching on fasting
and abstinence during Lent to help us “turn away from
harmful pleasures” so that “our Lenten fast may be pleasing to
[the Lord] and be for us a healing remedy.”
Recordatorios de Reglas para la Cuaresma
El tiempo de Cuaresma comenzo el Miércoles de Ceniza. El Miércoles
de Ceniza y el Viernes Santo son días obligatorios universales de ayuno
y abstinencia . El ayuno es obligatorio para personas entre los 18 y 60
años de edad. Ayunar significa hacer solo una comida completa en ese
día. También pueden hacerce dos comidas más pequeñas, pero no
iguales a una comida completa. La abstinencia (de carne) es
obligatoria para todos los mayores de 14 años de edad (c. 1252). Si es
posible, el ayuno del Viernes Santo debería continuarse hasta la
Vigilia de Pascua (en la noche del Sábado Santo) como el "ayuno
pascual" en honor a la Pasión y Muerte de nuestro Señor Jesucristo
y prepararnos para participar más plenamente y celebrar más
fácilmente su Resurrección (ver Sacrosanctum Concilium, 109). Los
viernes de Cuaresma son días de abstinencia obligatoria (de carne) para
todos los mayors de 14 años. Cualquier persona para quien el ayuno o
la abstinencia pueda resultar en un riesgo para su salud está excusado
de ambos.
Lenten Regulations Reminders
The season of Lent began on Ash Wednesday. Ash
Wednesday and Good Friday are obligatory days of universal
fast and abstinence. Fasting is obligatory for all who have
completed their 18th year until the beginning of their 60th
year. Fasting allows a person to eat one full meal. Two smaller
meals may be taken, not to equal one full meal. Abstinence
(from meat) is obligatory for all who have completed their
14th year of age (c. 1252). If possible, the fast on Good Friday
is continued until the Easter Vigil (on Holy Saturday
night) as the “paschal fast” to honor the suffering and death
of the Lord Jesus and to prepare to share more fully and
celebrate more readily his Resurrection (see Sacrosanctum
Concilium, 109). F ridays in Lent are obligatory days of
abstinence (from meat) for all who have completed their 14th
year. As always, anyone for whom fasting or abstinence would
pose a health risk is excused.
Desafío para el Mes de Marzo:
March Challenge:
Corregir al que se Equivoca
Admonish the Sinner
Tema por este Domingo: Orgullo Falso
Como ellos insistían en preguntarle, se enderezó y les
dijo: “Aquel de ustedes que no tenga pecado, que le
arroje la primera piedra.” (Juan 8:7)
Theme for this Sunday: False Pride
Jesus straightened up and said, “Let anyone among
you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at
her.” (John 8:7)
Adulto: ¿Cómo puedes resistir el querer “tirar la primera
piedra” cuando desapruebas del comportamiento de alguien?
¿Cómo puedes mostrar misericordia respetuosa?
Joven: Cuando menosprecias a alguien al burlarte de su
ropa o de la música que le gusta, ¿cómo te sientes? En su
lugar, ¿cómo puedes mostrar misericordia respetuosa ?
Adult: How can you resist the feelings of desiring to “cast
the first stone” when you disapprove of someone’s behavior?
How can you show respectful mercy?
Youth: W hen you put someone down by making fun of
their clothing or the music they like how do you feel? How
can you show respectful mercy instead?
