April 24, 2016 - 24 de abril de 2016
Fifth Sunday of Easter - Quinto Domingo de Pascua
Sunday Reflection
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Last Sunday, we celebrated as a
Church Good Shepherd Sunday
acknowledging Jesus Christ as the
shepherd of us all, the one whom we
should listen to and the one whom we
follow. Within our Church, we also have bishops who carry
on Christ works for their respective diocese and we have
priests who are named “pastors” as they are given the
responsibility of leading a parish. It is with great joy that I
announce that I have been appointed Pastor of Our Lady of
Peace Parish effective July 1, 2016. With this appointment,
Archbishop Gomez has given me the responsibility of
leading our parish spiritually and administratively for the
next 6 years. In essence, I am committing my life to serving
this wonderful parish of Our Lady of Peace. As we look at
the next six years, it is my hope that we all can commit
ourselves to the great mission of our parish as we continue
to serve God and one another. Please keep me in your
prayers and know that you are always in mine.
We also received word of another great announcement that
I would like to share with you. Last Sunday was also World
Day of Prayer for Vocations, Deacon Luis Espinoza, our
seminarian and transitional deacon, has received his official
call to the Sacred Order of Priest from Archbishop José H.
Gomez. After many years of formation, Deacon Luis will be
ordained a priest on Saturday, June 4th at the Cathedral of
Our Lady of the Angels. This news is a blessing for us as
parish as we can claim one of the new priests as our own
out of the 286 parishes in the archdiocese. Deacon Luis will
be celebrating his First Mass of Thanksgiving on Sunday,
June 5th at 2PM. All are invited to his Mass of Thanksgiving
as we celebrate as a whole community. The mass will be in
English and Spanish.
This year, it was decided not to have Tiger Fest which was
our Spring Fiesta in support of our school. In place of it, we
will be having a Spring Pageant on Saturday, May 14th in
the evening. This event consists of food, games, a raffle
and a crowning of a king or queen amongst our students.
All are invited to attend this great event in support of our
parish school.
Finally, please pray for our confirmation candidates who will
be receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation on Saturday
morning. May the Holy Spirit continue to guide then as faith
-filled disciples of Christ.
Our Lady of Peace… pray for us.
Queridos Hermanos y Hermanas,
El domingo pasado, celebramos como una Iglesia el Domingo
del Buen Pastor reconociendo a Jesucristo como el pastor de
todos nosotros, al que debemos escuchar y al que debemos
seguir. Dentro de nuestra Iglesia, también tenemos obispos
que prosiguen las obras de Cristo en sus respectivas diócesis y
tenemos sacerdotes que son nombrados “pastores” cuando se
les da la responsabilidad de guiar una parroquia. Con una gran
alegría les anuncio que he sido nombrado Pastor de la
Parroquia de Nuestra Señora de la Paz a partir del 1 de julio de
2016. Con este nombramiento, el Arzobispo Gómez me ha
dado la responsabilidad de guiar nuestra parroquia
espiritualmente y administrativamente por los próximos 6 años.
Fundamentalmente, estoy comprometiendo mi vida para servir
a esta maravillosa parroquia de Nuestra Señora de la Paz.
Viendo hacia los próximos seis años, es mi esperanza que
todos podamos comprometernos con la gran misión de nuestra
parroquia para continuar sirviendo a Dios y unos a otros. Por
favor recuérdenme en sus oraciones y sepan que ustedes
están siempre en las mías.
También recibimos noticia de otro gran anuncio que deseo
compartir con ustedes. El domingo pasado también fue el Día
Mundial de Oración por las Vocaciones, el Diácono Luis
Espinoza, nuestro seminarista y diácono en transición, recibió
oficialmente el llamado a la Orden Sagrada del Sacerdocio de
parte del Obispo José H. Gómez. Después de muchos años de
formación, el Diácono Luis será ordenado sacerdote el sábado
4 de junio en la Catedral de Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles.
Estas noticias son una bendición para nosotros como parroquia
ya que podemos reclamar a uno de los nuevos sacerdotes
como nuestro entre las 286 parroquia en la arquidiócesis. El
Diácono Luis estará celebrando su Primera Misa de Acción de
Gracias el domingo , 5 de junio a las 2PM. Todos están
invitados a esta Misa de Acción de Gracias que celebraremos
como una comunidad. La misa será en ingles y español.
Este año, se decidió no tener el Festival del Tigre el cual era la
Fiesta de Primavera en apoyo de nuestra escuela. En lugar de
eso, tendremos un Desfile de Primavera el sábado 14 de mayo
por la noche. Este evento consiste de comida, juegos, una rifa
y coronación de un rey o reina de alguno de los estudiantes.
Todos están invitados a asistir a este gran evento en apoyo de
nuestra escuela parroquial.
Por último, por favor oren por nuestros candidatos de la
confirmación quienes estarán recibiendo el Sacramento de
Confirmación el sábado por la mañana. Que el Espíritu Santo
continúe guiándolos como fieles discípulos de Cristo.
Nuestra Señora de la Paz…ruega por nosotros.

As Father told us last Sunday, we are all called to be Shepherds...in our home, church,
community, and workplace. We are called to lead with dignity, grace, and charity. And as
Shepherds, God calls us to bring our values into the political conversation. How do we do this???
Come hear how we can as Bishop Joseph Brennan guides and informs our parish on the actions
we can take during this important election year.
Tuesday, April 26, 2016, 7-9 PM in Schneiders Hall
LET US JOIN TOGETHER FOR THIS INFORMATIVE SESSION!!
FUNDRAISER FOR FATHER KEN
Saturday April 30th from 5 to 8PM!
Join us at the Valley Columbus Hall at 14450 Valerio
Street (Near SE corner of Valerio and Van Nuys) for
good food and fun.
We will be raising funds to help Father Ken's Ministry of
the Water Project for the People of his Native Village in
Nigeria, Africa. They need a solar system to run their
well because diesel fuel is prohibitively expensive in
Nigeria. For more info or tickets contact Bob at 818891-3239.
We will have spaghetti and meatballs, fish pasta, and
chicken Alfredo with all the trimmings. Adults $18 and
children under 12 for $9. It is a great deal for a great
cause!
YOUR CALLS NEEDED TO STOP TAX PAYER FUNDED OF
PHYSICIAN ASSISTED SUICIDE
In October, physician assisted suicide became legal in California.
Currently, AB 2810 has been introduced in the California legislature
and will be voted on shortly. The bill would require California tax
payers to pay for the lethal drug used for physician assisted
suicide. As Catholics we believe life to be sacred from conception
to natural death. This bill violates our religious freedom and forces
us to pay for something that goes against our conscience and
beliefs. Your phone calls to assembly members are urgently
needed. Please call this week to voice your opposition and
request a NO vote on AB 2810. For more information on this bill
visit: www.cacatholic.org/end-of-life-policy
Assembly District 45 – call Mathew Dababneh (818) 904-3840

Preventing child sexual abuse is a
partnership. It requires education,
training, and action from parents, other
adults, organizations, and children. As
adults, we need to learn to recognize
other adults who are a risk to kids – ours
and the others in the community. April is Child
Abuse Prevention Month, which gives us all an
opportunity to learn more about what the
Archdiocese of Los Angeles is doing to prevent
child sexual abuse from happening. For more
information about the VIRTUS® Child Abuse
Prevention Programs for Adults and Children

Prevenir el abuso sexual infantil es una
asociación. Requiere educación,

los demás en la comunidad. Abril es el Mes
