February 16, 2020 Sixth Sunday of Ordinary Time

Last weekend, Archbishop Gomez invited all Catholics to make their annual

commitment to 2020 Together in Mission Appeal. If you and your family have not had the opportunity to make your pledge, I ask you to complete a pledge card found in the pews, or make your pledge online by visiting ourmissionla.org/give. Your gifts to Together in Mission ensure that every Catholic living in the Archdiocese has a parish to celebrate their faith and access to Catholic school education. You are living your faith through your actions when you support Together in Mission.

16 de febrero de 2020 Sexto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario

Solo una actualización rápida de nuestra campaña Llamados a renovar. Después de nuestro primer y segundo fin de semana de compromiso, recibimos 237 nuevas promesas por un total de $ 477,960. Esto lleva la cantidad total de promesas a $ 1,493,960, que es el 99.6% de nuestra meta. Queremos agradecer a las 358 familias que ya han contribuido a la campaña. Si indicó que necesitaba tiempo para orar sobre su promesa, el Padre. Chris y uno de nuestros embajadores les darán seguimiento en un futuro cercano. Su apoyo y generosidad son muy apreciados. Gracias una vez más por todo lo que hacen por nuestra parroquia.

Si usted no está seguro si está registrado,

por favor pase por la Oficina Parroquial para confirmar o registrar. Asistir a Misa regular-mente, donar o ser bautizado aqui no nece-sariamente significa que esta registra-do. ¿Está en nuestra lista de correo? ¿Recibe sobres? Hay ventajas de ser un feligrés regis-trado: prioridad para las fechas de ceremonia (bodas, funerales, quinceañeras, etc.), cartas de referencia para las ceremonias en otras parroquias, y los registros de todas las con-tribuciones en materia de información tribu-taria que puede ser proporcionado a pe-dido. Si desea registrarse, o quisiera verificar la información registrada, por favor pase por nuestra oficina de la parroquia o regístrese en línea en https://www.st-augustine-

Become a registered Parishioner

Please do not take for granted that you are regis-tered with our Parish just because you attend Mass and give donation. Are you on our mailing list? Do you receive envelopes?

There are benefits to being a registered parishioner: priority for ceremony dates (weddings, funerals, quinceaneras, etc), letters of referral for ceremonies at other parishes, records of any contributions for tax information that can be furnished upon request. If you wish to register, or would just like to check your registered information, please stop by our Par-ish office, or register online at www.st-augustine-church.org

¡BODAS COMUNITARIAS!

La Parroquia de San Agustín está organizando bodas comunitarias. Si no está casado por la iglesia católica, Cristo está esperando por ti y quiere proveerte el sacramento del matrimonio. No diga “no”. Así deben también los maridos amar a sus esposas como a sus propios cuerpos, amar a la esposa es amarse a si mismo. (Efesios 5:28).

Para más información sobre las bodas comunitarias, ven a la primera reunión el 5 de Marzo de 2020, desde a las 7:00 p.m. hasta a las 9:00 p.m., en el salón de San Agustín en el Centro Parroquial o llama a Jesús y Nicolasa Bustamante a los números siguientes: (323) 784-5335 o (213) 985-5290.

Ustedes están viviendo su fe a través de sus acciones cuando se comprometen a ayudar a Unidos en Misión.
