3rd Sunday of Advent - Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Church

Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Parish
San Clemente, California
A Eucharistic Community Living The Good News Daily
December 16, 2012
3rd Sunday of Advent
’T
is the season for bell choirs and brass renditions of beloved
carols. Church musicians are rounding up trumpeters and
French horn players to rehearse for Christmas liturgies. What would a
Christmas television special be without pealing bells in the closing
sequence? The joyful sounds of brass instruments herald the good news
that the Lord of the universe has entered into human history once and
forever in the poor infant Jesus.
There is another kind of bell that seems to follow us wherever we go at
this time of year—the Salvation Army bells. They remind us that not everyone has experienced the good
news of salvation yet. There are many who suffer while others wallow in abundance. Today’s scriptures
remind us that the Lord is with us to save us from our sinfulness, so that justice, love, and peace might reign
at last in the world. Then all God’s people will be able to rejoice.

D
ear Parishioners and Friends of Our Lady of Fatima,
The Third Sunday of Advent is called “Gaudete” Sunday
because today’s Mass begins with the opening antiphon,
“Gaudete in Domino semper” (“Rejoice in the Lord always”). On the Third Sunday of Advent the rose candle of
the Advent wreath is lit, and the priest may wear rose colored vestments to express our communal joy in the coming
of Jesus as our Savior. We rejoice because we are celebrating the day of Christ’s birth; we recognize his daily presence in our midst; and we
wait for his return in glory. The theme of today’s readings is the
command "Rejoice!" We mainly do so by realizing the presence
of Jesus in our midst and by receiving him into our lives through
our repentance, our renewal of life, and by doing God’s will in
every aspect of our lives.
From December 17 through December 24 the readings from
Mass take on a new significance. For one thing, we start off with
the so called “O Antiphons” at Mass and Evening Prayer which
describe Jesus Christ as the fulfillment of the promise of a Messiah who is a descendent of King David. The readings change from our wait for the
second coming of Jesus at the end of time to his first coming as a babe in a manger
in the little town of Bethlehem.
This past Sunday, our new bishop, the Most Reverend Kevin W.
Vann, was installed as the fourth Bishop of Orange. When I arrived at the Crystal Cathedral (the soon to be Christ Cathedral)
for the Evening Prayer, I was amazed at the huge crowd that
turned out for the celebration. I ran into a Fort Worth couple
who told me how lucky we are to have Bishop Vann as the new
bishop. My encounters with Bishop Vann in the last few months
have been equally positive. The Mass of Installation was on
Monday afternoon, December 10, at the Bren Center at the University of California, Irvine. That arena holds 15,000 people and there were many
friends of Bishop Vann, as well as bishops and priests, from all over the United
States.
I wish to end this letter with an expression of gratitude to newly retired Bishop Tod
D. Brown. He led the Diocese of Orange through the most trying time in its history.
He brought warmth and compassion to those impacted by the clergy sexual abuse
crisis. He opened the door for the diocese to purchase the Crystal Cathedral, providing the Diocese of Orange with a suitable place for our diocesan celebrations
and events. We offer him our best wishes in his retirement.
Gratefully yours in Christ the Good Steward,
Father Michael P. Hanifin

Welcome to Our Lady of Fatima Parish
Members of our parish prayer shawl ministry "Work of Our Hands" traveled to the Sisters of St. Joseph mother house in Orange last Thursday to
participate in a special ritual. The ministry makes prayer blankets for
patients at Mission Hospital but first they are transported to Orange to be
blessed with the hope that they be a reminder of God's love and comfort
for those that receive them. Our members hands were also blessed as
they continue this good work. Pictured from l to r, Marlene Manning,
Rita Ergas, Maria Ayala (Mission Hospital outreach nurse), Annice
Douglas, Susan Meyers and Mary Jones.

Children’s Christmas Eve Choir
Come Home for Christmas
Campaign Week Three
Our Lady of Fatima Parishioners are invited participate in
the Come Home for Christmas Campaign. Our parishioners are asked to be the Lord’s instrument to bring home
for Christmas those family members or friends who are
away from their Catholic Faith. In this third week of the
Season of Advent process we are asked to hand deliver a
copy of the parish bulletin (that includes the schedule of
Christmas Masses) to the person we are praying for, along
with a handout on how to make a good Confession. And
please continue to pray for that person who has been
away from the regular practice of their Catholic faith.
If you have any questions regarding Come Home for
Christmas contact Fr. Mike at the parish office (949-4924101).
All children in the 4th grade and older are invited to join
the Children’s Christmas Eve Choir. This choir will sing
for the 4pm Mass on Christmas Eve.

3rd Sunday of Advent
Year End Giving 2012
Liturgy of the Word for Children
Changes in the tax laws are certain to happen in 2013.
This means there is a greater incentive for our OLF parishioners to make charitable gifts before the year's end.
Please contact Ron Runolfson or Fr. Mike at the parish
office (949-492-4101) for more information or to facilitate a year end gift of securities. Remember – gifts must
be postmarked on or before December 31, 2012 to count
as a 2012 tax deduction.
Will not take place on December 23rd and
December 30th. It will resume on January 6th.
Knights of Columbus
Corporate Communion –
December30
The Knights’ Corporate Communion will
take place on Sunday, December 30. Prospective members and their families are
invited to join current Knights at the 9am Mass. Seating is
in the first few pews on the music side of the church. Immediately following Mass, a buffet breakfast will be
served at Bella Colina Towne and Golf Club in San
Clemente. Prospective members and their families will be
the guests of the Knights. Please RSVP to Roy Calvetti @
royvetti@gmail.com or 949-361-1729. What a wonderful
way to end the year and what a great kick off 2013!
OLF Men’s Retreat 2013
All parish men and friends are invited to our annual 3-day
retreat on Friday, January 25 through Sunday, January 27,
2013. This year’s theme is “Remember and experience
the life-giving embrace of the compassion of Christ.”
The retreat is being held at the Mater Dolorosa Passionist
Retreat Center in Sierra Madre. It is a spectacular location
offering a prayerful and thoughtful environment along
with excellent food and accommodations. The suggested
donation of $195 covers your accommodations for two
nights and five meals. A deposit of $50 will reserve your
space.
Please contact Doyle Manning at 949-369-9612 or Eduardo Jimenez at 949-584-9680 for information.
This is a wonderful opportunity to join with fellow parishioners and men from other Catholic parishes to express
and rekindle your faith!

This program takes place during the 9am Mass. Children
4 years (pre-k) through grade 4 are sent from the main
assembly to a nearby space where they celebrate the Liturgy of the Word in a simplified, yet equivalent format.
Children in grades 1-4 return at the offertory. Pre-k and
kindergarteners remain with their leaders until the end of
Mass when they are picked up in the school kindergarten
classroom by a parent. Pre-registration is NOT required to
attend. This ministry currently has openings for leaders
and teen assistants. Leaders must have a love of both the
Liturgy and an understanding of effective communication
with children and be willing to serve on a rotating basis
every 4-6 weeks. Training is provided. Please contact Liz
Pederson at 492-8631 or Rosa Rama at 492-4101 or

Solemnidad de Maria
Madre de Dios
3º Domingo de Adviento
3
De nuestro Párroco, Padre Michael P. Hanifin
Q
ueridos parroquianos y amigos de Nuestra Señora
de Fátima,
El tercer domingo de adviento se llama “Gaudete” porque la
Misa de hoy comienza con la apertura: “Gaudete en semper del
dominó” (“Regocíjate en el Señor siempre”). El tercer domingo
de adviento se enciende también la vela de color rosa de la corona de adviento, y el sacerdote puede usar vestiduras de color
rosado para expresar nuestra alegría en la venida de Jesús como
nuestro Salvador. Nos alegramos porque: a) estamos celebrando el
día del nacimiento de Cristo, (b) reconocemos su presencia diaria en
nuestra vida, (c) esperamos su regreso en gloria. El tema de las lecturas de hoy es “Regocíjate” Hacemos esto, principalmente realzando
la presencia de Jesús en nuestro medio y recibiéndolo en nuestras
vidas con arrepentimiento, nuestra renovación de vida y por hacer la
voluntad de Dios en cada aspecto de nuestras vidas.
Comenzando mañana 17 de diciembre y hasta el 24 de diciembre; las
lecturas toman un nuevo significado. Por una parte comenzamos con
el “O Antiphons” rezo en la Misa y la oración de la tarde que describe a Jesús Cristo como el cumplimiento de la promesa del Mesías
como descendiente del rey David. Las lecturas cambian de la espera de la segunda venida de Jesús a finales de los tiempos, al nacimiento en un establo de un bebé en la pequeña
ciudad de Belén.
El pasado domingo, nuestro nuevo Obispo el Reverendísimo Kevin W. Vann fue instalado como el Cuarto Obispo de Orange. Cuando llegué; la Catedral de Cristal (pronto será
Catedral de Cristo) para la oración de la tarde me sorprendió la
enorme muchedumbre que asistió a la celebración. Encontré a una
pareja de Forth Worth quienes me dijeron que somos afortunados
de tener al Obispo Vann como nuestro nuevo obispo. Mi encuentro
con el Obispo Vann en los últimos meses ha sido igualmente positivo. La Misa de instalación fue por la tarde el lunes 10 de diciembre en el Centro Bren de la Universidad de California en Irvine. La
Arena tiene capacidad para 15 mil personas y había muchos amigos del Obispo Vann, así como obispos, y sacerdotes de todas partes de los Estados Unidos.
Deseo terminar esta carta con una expresión de gratitud al reciente obispo jubilado Tod
D. Brown. Él condujo la Diócesis de Orange durante el tiempo más crítico de su historia.
Él trajo calor y compasión a los afectados por la crisis sexual del abuso del clero. Él dio la
autorización para comprar la Catedral de Cristal en donde ahora la Diócesis de Orange
tendrá un lugar conveniente para las celebraciones y acontecimientos diocesanos. Le ofrecemos nuestros mejores deseos en su retiro.
Agradecidísimo en Cristo el Buen Administrador,
8:30 a.m. y 10:00 a.m. (Ingles)

Una Comunidad Eucaristía Viviendo La Buena Noticia Diariamente

3º Domingo de Adviento

campanas y con instrumentos de metal. Los directores de coro
andan juntando a los trompetistas y a los que tocan cornetas francesas
para ensayar las liturgias de Navidad. ¿Qué sería un programa especial en

Hay otra clase de campana que parece seguirnos a dondequiera que vamos durante este tiempo del año y
son las campanas del Salvation Army. Ellas nos recuerdan que no todos han experimentado aun la buena
nueva de la salvación. Hay muchos que sufren mientras que otros están sumidos en la abundancia. Las
lecturas de hoy nos recuerdan que el Señor está con nosotros para salvarnos de nuestros pecados, y para que
reine así por fin la justicia, el amor y la paz en el mundo. Entonces todas las personas en el pueblo de Dios
podrán alegrarse.
