Dear parish family,
DSF Weekend
Its Super Bowl weekend, grand ending of football season. For our Archdiocesan church, it’s the grand
beginning of super bowl for charity. It’s our annual DSF (Diocesan Services Fund) Commitment weekend.
DSF empowers more than 60 Archdiocesan ministries to feed the hungry, clothe those in need, support
social outreach programs, provide Christ’s presence to God’s people in hospitals, colleges and prisons…
and so much more. Our Christian mission to love one another has been brought to life through your
unwavering support of DSF. To keep these ministries and programs running, the Archdiocese has to meet a
budget of around 13 million dollars per year. This year Archdiocesan Goal is set at $ 13,583,690.00. Each
parish that comprises this large Archdiocese has its DSF goal depending on its size in order to attain the
yearly budget. Our parish goal this year is $ 50,000.00. Remember this is a yearlong campaign. We may
give our support at one time or make a pledge and fulfill it in an installment basis through the year.
While we are all aware of the fact that the lifeblood of our parish church is our weekly
contributions, we need to be reminded that the lifeblood of the various programs and services of the
Archdiocese is this yearly DSF campaign. I am so grateful for the generous people of our parish that keep
our church going and had consistently participated in this DSF campaign that we always meet our goal. I
only beg those who have not yet participated to get involved - even a token of your kindness is very much
welcome. The bottom line is actually not meeting our goal, but meeting our obligation as a Christian, as
followers of the Lord who calls us to answer the needs of others. It is not that we are giving to structures or
purely human endeavors, but that we are responding to message of Christ.
The theme for this year’s campaign is, “Be Rich in Good Works… Ready to Share (1 Timothy
6:18-19),” which highlights the need to continue the ministerial work of the Archdiocese. By giving our
material resources to God, we share the gifts that have been entrusted to our care and deepen our love for
our brothers and sisters.
It is also my deepest gratitude as pastor of this parish for the people and families of this parish who
supported the DSF. I only lament the fact that there are only around 180 who do so consistently, while we
have around 1,250 families. May God touch the hearts of others to do a Christian act of charity, please let
us all support the DSF.
Blessings to you and have a good week!
Querida familia parroquial,
Fr. Tony
Fin de semana del DSF
Este fin de semana es la gran final del Super Bowl, de la temporada de fútbol. Para nuestra Iglesia Arquidiocesana, es el gran
comienzo del Super Bowl para la caridad. Es nuestro compromiso del DSF (Fondo de Servicios Diocesanos). DSF facilita a más de
60 ministerios de la Arquidiócesis para alimentar, vestir a los necesitados, apoyar los programas de proyección social, proporcionar
la presencia de Cristo al pueblo de Dios en hospitales, colegios y prisiones ... y mucho más. Nuestra misión cristiana a amarnos
unos a otros se ha manifestado en la vida a través del apoyo inquebrantable de DSF. Para mantener estos ministerios y programas
activos, la Arquidiócesis tiene que cumplir con un presupuesto de unos 13 millones de dólares por año. Este año la meta de la
Arquidiócesis es $ 13,583,690.00. Cada parroquia que comprende esta gran Arquidiócesis tiene su meta DSF dependiendo de su
tamaño con el fin de alcanzar el presupuesto anual. Nuestra meta de la parroquia este año es de $ 50,000.00. Recuerde que esta
es una campaña anual. Podemos dar nuestro apoyo en este momento por una suma total o hacer una promesa y cumplirla en una
base a varios pagos a través del año.
Si bien todos somos conscientes del hecho de que el alma
de nuestra parroquia son nuestras contribuciones
semanales, también tenemos que recordar que el elemento vital de los diversos programas y servicios de la Arquidiócesis es esta
campaña DSF anual. Estoy muy agradecido por la gente generosa de nuestra parroquia que mantienen a nuestra iglesia y que
también de manera sistemática, colaboran en esta campaña DSF y siempre logramos nuestro objetivo. Yo sólo pido a aquellos que
todavía no han participado a involucrarse - incluso una muestra de su bondad es bienvenida. En conclusión no solo estamos
cumpliendo con nuestro objetivo, sino que estamos respondiendo nuestro llamado como cristiano, como seguidores del Señor que
nos llama a responder a las necesidades de los demás. No solo le estamos dando apoyo a las estructuras o los esfuerzos
puramente humanos, sino que estamos respondiendo al mensaje de Cristo.
El tema de la campaña de este año es: p"sean ricos en buenas obras ... listo para compartir (1 Timoteo 6: 18-19)," que
pone como prioridad la necesidad de continuar el trabajo ministerial de la Arquidiócesis. Al dar a nuestros recursos materiales a
Dios, compartimos los dones que han sido confiados a nuestro cuidado y profundizar nuestro amor por nuestros hermanos y
hermanas.
Es también mi más profunda gratitud como pastor de esta parroquia para las personas y familias que apoyan la DSF.
Lamento el hecho de que sólo hay alrededor de 180 familias que lo hacen constantemente, mientras que nosotros tenemos
alrededor de 1,250 familias. Que Dios toque los corazones de los demás a cumplir un acto cristiano de la caridad, por favor
háganoslo todos apoyamos la DSF.
Bendiciones para ti y que tengan una buena semana!
