PASTOR’S MESSAGE

May 6, 2018 Queen of Heaven | 5

Dear family,

Are you praying your rosary daily? Make the effort,

this month especially, to honor our Blessed Mother

Mary, the holy mother of our Lord, in this way.

As I mentioned briefly last weekend at the 4:30pm Sat-

urday evening Mass, the gentleman who led us in sing-

ing at that Mass, Mr. Vernon Reza, advised us that he

is no longer able to continue that ministry at our parish

due to other obligations. Thanks be to God for his sup-

port and help in times past, and the Lord bless him in

his journey of faith, along with his ministry assistant,

Ms. Jeanne. Say a pray for them.

In that regard, we are looking to form a choir from

among our parishioners. This effort will first focus on

inviting those among us who have good voices and can

sing. Our primary efforts will not be to look first for

any instrumentalists…but singers. Not everybody has

a beautiful voice or is able to sing well, so if you do,

please let me know. Those whose voice is not so good

are not called to singing ministry, no matter how much

you like or want to sing, but certainly you have other

amazing ways you can serve the Lord’s work. God

doesn’t give us gifts and abilities to keep to our-

selves…but to bear much fruit and be his disciples

gives glory to God, as the Lord Jesus stated last week-

end.

If someone has a beautiful voice and another person

not so much, why do you think that is? Who gave us

those gifts? Our Lord is the reason, and He expects us

to use our talents for the purposes of the Master, who

gave them to us, not to bury them (cf. Matthew

25:15). Brothers and sisters, if you hear somebody

with a beautiful voice near you, please encourage them

to consider being part of the choir. Let me know who

they are and I can certainly talk to them. Mr. Joseph

Montiel has been helping to lead us in singing at the

7:30am Mass, but we are also looking to add members

so that it becomes a “choir” with several good strong

voices.

Children from our Catholic School and those from our

parish CCD classes will be making their first Holy

Communion next Saturday. Please pray for them.

I hope and pray that you have a blessed week,

Fr. Sáenz

Querida familia,

¿Estás rezando tu rosario todos los días? Haz el esfuer-zo, especialmente este mes, de honrar a nuestra Santísi-ma Madre María, la santa madre de nuestro Señor, de esta manera.

Como mencioné brevemente el fin de semana pasado en la misa de la tarde del sábado a las 4:30 pm, el señor que nos dirigió a cantar en esa misa, el Sr. Vernon Reza, nos informó que ya no puede continuar ese ministerio en nuestra parroquia debido a otras obligaciones. Gracias a Dios por su apoyo y ayuda en tiempos pasados, y el Se-ñor lo bendiga en su camino de fe, junto con su asistente ministerial, Sra. Jeanne. Di una oración por ellos.

En ese sentido, estamos buscando formar un coro entre nuestros feligreses. Este esfuerzo se centrará primero en invitar a ustedes que tienen buenas voces y que pueden cantar. Nuestro principal esfuerzo no será buscar prime-ro a ningún instrumentista ... sino a cantantes. No todo el mundo tiene una voz hermosa o es capaz de cantar bien, así que si puedes, házmelo saber. Aquellos cuya voz no es tan buena no son llamados al ministerio de cantar, no importa cuánto te gusta o quieres cantar, pero ciertamente tienes otras formas increíbles en que puedes servir a la obra del Señor. Dios no nos da dones y habili-dades para guardarlos para nosotros mismos ... pero para dar mucho fruto y ser sus discípulos…eso da gloria a Dios, como el Señor Jesús declaró el fin de semana pa-sado.

Si alguien tiene una voz hermosa y otro no tanto, ¿por qué crees que es? ¿Quién nos dio esos dones? Nuestro Señor es la razón, y Él espera que usemos nuestros ta-lentos para los propósitos del Maestro, quien nos los dio, no para sepultarlos (ver Mateo 25:15). Hermanos y hermanas, si escuchan a alguien con una hermosa voz cerca de ustedes, anímenlos a que consideren ser parte del coro. Déjame saber quiénes son y ciertamente puedo hablar con ellos. El Sr. Joseph Montiel ha estado ayu-dando a llevarnos a cantar en la Misa de las 7:30 a.m., pero también estamos buscando agregar miembros para que se convierta en un "coro" con varias buenas voces fuertes.

Los niños de nuestra escuela católica y los de las clases parroquiales de CCD harán su primera comunión el próximo sábado. Por favor oren por ellos.

Espero y rezo para que tengan una semana bendita,

Padre Sáenz
