PRESIDER SCHEDULE/ HORARIO DEL CELEBRANTE


PASTOR’S COLUMN

Dear Brothers and Sisters, The pilgrims to holy places in France returned on Friday, November 5th, with, hopefully,

more graces than they had when departing. The marvels and holiness of these places are beyond words. To pray Holy Mass in the place where the Curé d'Ars, St. John Vianney, lived, ministered, and is entombed is amazing. And then to be present in the places where our own Blessed Mother appeared moves one’s heart to seemingly feel her there again. Thank you for all the prayers offered for the pilgrims, I know that we are all appreciative of your thoughtfulness and kindness. Please know that I remembered you all in all of the Masses celebrated in each place. The parish has two pilgrimages planned for 2022. The first is in June and will include Austria, Switzerland, Italy and an optional Oberammergau Passion play in Germany and/or Rome. There is information about this pilgrimage, with members of our choirs singing in various European Cathedrals through Andrew in our music department. And then, in September, we have a pilgrimage going to the Holy Land and Oberammergau for the Passion Play. After walking and praying where Jesus walked, preached, suffered, died, was buried, and rose from the dead, we head to Bavaria to attend the famous, once every ten-year, Passion Play promised to the Lord by the village of Oberammergau to be protected from the bubonic plague (Black Death) in the 14th century. Information about this pilgrimage is on our website.

We have been waiting for the results of this year’s Fall Festival. I haven’t been given the go-ahead to publish the results, but this much I can say: Fall Festival 2019 netted $263,319.41 and Fall Festival 2020 netted $202,662.20. With that in mind, know that the net for Fall Festival 2021 beat the 2019 record. As is usually done, the full report will be presented to the Fall Festival Committee and then posted in the bulletin. Thank you all for making the festival such a great success. As I mentioned in a previous Pastor’s Column, it seemed that people wanted to get out and have some fun after a year of being locked down and living in panic. I look forward to posting the final numbers.

As a people for others, we constantly are searching for ways to fulfill our parish motto. This weekend we focus on our commitment to ministry at the Little School in Chiché, Quiché, Guatemala. Our Lady of Guadalupe School is a parochial elementary school supported by the parish by providing funds for the salaries of the eleven teachers. Thanks to your generosity, the school opened its doors in January 2002. Approximately 225 children attend the school, and their parents are extremely grateful to have this opportunity for their children. Although our parishioners have not been able to travel on mission to the school for the last two years due to COVID-19, we anxiously await the possibility of mission in 2022. Being at the school is life changing for our parish missionaries as they take over the teaching for part of the day. These well-prepared missionaries arrive with hearts open as they share our faith with the children, their families, and sick members of their families. The second collection and pledge drive this weekend will continue to provide funding for the salaries of 11 teachers. To learn more about our mission in Guatemala, please visit our website: https://silcc.org/guatemala-school-mission-ministry.

Meanwhile, this Saturday afternoon of November 13th, we hosted the annual Refugee Thanksgiving Dinner for worldwide refugees who have found themselves in Houston through Catholic Charities. It’s always a fun event trying to communicate with people through sign language, laughter, smiles, and caring concern, as they gather with us to share a Thanksgiving meal. More and more we now try to serve food that is familiar to our guests whereas in the past, we tried to share with them our own Thanksgiving dinner. Hospitality has taught us to reach out and be welcoming through dishes familiar to them. It was always interesting to try and describe a “turkey” to people completely foreign to the bird. Again, a heartfelt thank you goes out to all of our parishioners who make this happen. It seems that each and every time we reach out beyond ourselves, we receive many graces for living the Gospel message to welcome the stranger into our midst. Thank you all for making it possible.

Next month we will have yet another opportunity with Christmas Angles. Volunteers are always needed to make the day run smoothly. Similar to the Refugee Thanksgiving Dinner, disciples of the Lord in every age range are needed to bring the joy of Christmas to those in need. Once more, I ask you to see the bulletin and our website for more details. Remembering to pray for the souls in purgatory,

THIS WEEK’S READING

Sunday, Nov 14, 2021 THIRTY-THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME The poor have a gift for you Charity presupposes a giver and a receiver, Pope Francis reminds us this fifth annual World Day of the Poor. This division poses a spiritual danger: tempting the giver to view the poor as a "category" outside our community, to which we may choose to offer our generosity. This perception gratifies the giver and demeans the receiver. Francis observes that "the poor, always and everywhere, evangelize us"—revealing the suffering Christ to us. Charity is occasional and voluntary; mutual sharing, however, is enduring. The real invitation of the poor is this: to share the burden of Christ until we can alleviate it.

TODAY'S READINGS: Daniel 12:1-3; Hebrews 10:11-14, 18; Mark 13:24-32 (158). "Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away."

Monday, Nov 15, 2021 MEMORIAL OF ALBERT THE GREAT, BISHOP, DOCTOR OF THE CHURCH Head in the clouds but feet on the ground Albert the Great was a Renaissance man—but he lived in the Middle Ages. He was a German theologian, but he also wrote voluminously about botany, zoology, music, astronomy, and law—to name just a few of his studies of interest. He never let his head full of knowledge go to his head, though, and one of the ways this Dominican friar and bishop stayed humble was by only traveling by foot. Are there lifestyle changes you can make or privileges you can shed to keep yourself down-to-earth?

TODAY'S READINGS: 1 Maccabees 1:10-15, 41-43, 54-57, 62-63; Luke 18:35-43 (497). “When they saw this, all the people gave praise to God.”

Tuesday, Nov 16, 2021 MEMORIAL OF GERTRUDE, MYSTIC God’s love conquers all Orphaned during the Middle Ages, Gertrude the Great grew up in a Benedictine monastery and became a brilliant scholar. Like her teacher, Saint Mechtilde of Helfta, Gertrude also became well-known as a mystic, experiencing—and transcribing—vivid visions of God’s boundless love. Let Gertrude’s encounters with Divine Love calm any worries today: “Joy and gladness be to thee from that sweetest heart, my one refuge and shelter in my exile, from that heart so full of tender care for me, whose love is so set on me that it cannot rest till it hath received me into itself for evermore.”

TODAY'S READINGS: 2 Maccabees 6:18-31; Luke 19:1-10 (498). “But he could not see him because of the crowd.”

Wednesday, Nov 17, 2021 MEMORIAL OF ELIZABETH OF HUNGARY, RELIGIOUS Keep the faith under pressure Faithfulness unto death is the great rallying cry of the Christian. Without this in mind, today’s saint, Elizabeth of Hungary, might at first seem an odd pairing with the readings about martyrdom and divine retribution. With it, however, we see that Saint Elizabeth’s firm resolve to serve the poor, despite being a princess with access to enormous privilege, is precisely the kind of behavior God wishes to see in his children. It is precisely the

use of the “talents” to which Jesus referred in the parable from today’s gospel. Remember, then, that whenever we die to ourselves and devote our lives to Christian charity, we become common martyrs and fulfill the law of God.

TODAY'S READINGS: 2 Maccabees 7:1, 20-31; Luke 19:11-28 (499). “He, in his mercy, will give you back both breath and life, because you now disregard yourselves for the sake of his law.”

Thursday, Nov 18, 2021 MEMORIAL OF ROSE PHILIPPINE DUCHESNE Perseverance please! Life can sometimes beat a person down, and when that happens, the beautiful tradition of praying for saints to intercede for us can provide communion and solace. Today’s saint, Philippine Duchesne, was a nun who survived the upheaval of the French Revolution and combined both a strong devotion to prayer and a passion for missionary life in the American frontier, with its many hardships. Because perseverance was a major theme in her life, she is a patron saint of perseverance in adversity. Saint Philippine, pray for us!

TODAY'S READINGS: 1 Maccabees 2:15-29; Luke 19:41-44 (500). “If this day you only knew what makes for peace.”

Friday, Nov 19, 2021 Act on memory Dedications in memory of fields where lives were lost or sacred places defiled have been a mainstay since biblical times. By remembering the horror of death and destruction, we hope to redeem the site and make it holy again. But as Abraham Lincoln stated on this day in 1863 in his Gettysburg Address, honoring a Civil War battlefield: “We cannot dedicate—we cannot consecrate—we cannot hallow—this ground . . . . the living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it.” Our role, says Lincoln, is “to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced.” It is for us to “highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain.” Lincoln’s words echo Jesus’ call to his disciples to “do this in memory of me.” Become the body of Christ.

TODAY'S READINGS: 1 Maccabees 4:36-37, 52-59; Luke 19:45-48 (501). “The days of the dedication of the altar should be observed with joy and gladness.”

Saturday, Nov 20, 2021 MEMORIAL OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY God of the living The Bible’s Second Book of Maccabees, composed about a hundred years before Christ, introduced the ideas of resurrection from the dead, the intercession of the saints in heaven, and the responsibility of the living to offer prayers and sacrifices for the dead. The Sadducees of today’s gospel episode rejected these ideas while Jesus obviously embraced them. Resurrection, praying for the souls in Purgatory, and the intercession of the saints all have become part of what the church believes. Every Saturday we honor the Blessed Virgin Mary, the greatest saint in heaven, and ask her intercession for the souls of our departed relatives and friends. TODAY'S READINGS: 1 Maccabees 6:1-13; Luke 20:27-40 (502). “[God] is not God of the dead, but of the living, for to him all are alive.”

COLUMNA DEL PÁRROCO

Queridos hermanos: Los peregrinos que visitaron los lugares santos de Francia regresaron el viernes 5 de noviembre,

esperando que con más gracia de las que tuvieron al partir. Las maravillas y la santidad de estos lugares están más allá de las palabras. Rezar la Santa Misa en el lugar donde el Cura de Ars, San Juan Vianney, vivió, ministró y está sepultado es asombroso. Y luego estar presente en los lugares donde apareció nuestra propia Santísima Madre mueve el corazón de cada uno y se siente como si ella estuviese allí de nuevo. Gracias por todas las oraciones ofrecidas por los peregrinos, sé que todos agradecemos su atención y amabilidad. Por favor, sepan que los recordé a todos en todas las misas celebradas en cada lugar que visitamos. La parroquia tiene dos peregrinaciones previstas para el 2022. La primera es en junio e incluirá a Austria, Suiza, Italia y una obra de teatro opcional La Pasión de Oberammergau en la región bávara de Alemania y / o Roma. Hay información sobre esta peregrinación, con miembros de nuestros coros que cantaran en varias catedrales europeas con Andrew en nuestro departamento de música. Y luego, en septiembre, tenemos una peregrinación a La Tierra Santa y la obra de teatro La Pasión de Oberammergau para la representación teatral bíblica. Después de caminar y orar donde Jesús caminó, predicó, sufrió, murió, fue enterrado y resucitó de entre los muertos, nos dirigiremos a Baviera para asistir a la famosa obra teatral La Pasión, una vez cada diez años, prometida al Señor por el pueblo de Oberammergau para estar protegidos de la peste bubónica (Peste Negra) en el siglo XIV. La información sobre esta peregrinación está en nuestro sitio web.

Estábamos esperando los resultados del Festival de Otoño de este año. No se me ha dado el visto bueno para publicar los resultados, pero puedo decir esto: el Festival de otoño 2019 obtuvo $ 263,319.41 y el Festival de otoño 2020 obtuvo $ 202,662.20. Con eso en mente, sepan que valor neto para el Festival de Otoño 2021 batió el récord de 2019. Como se hace habitualmente, el informe completo se presentará al Comité del Festival de Otoño y luego se publicará en el boletín. Gracias a todos por hacer del festival un gran éxito. Como mencioné anteriormente en una de las columnas del pastor, parecía que la gente quería salir y divertirse después de un año de estar encerrados y vivir en pánico. Espero publicar muy pronto, los números finales.

Como personas para los demás, buscamos constantemente formas de practicar nuestro lema parroquial. Este fin de semana nos enfocamos en nuestro compromiso con el ministerio en la escuelita en Chiché, Quiché, Guatemala. La escuela Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe es una escuela primaria parroquial apoyada por nuestra parroquia al proporcionar fondos para los salarios de los once maestros. Gracias a su generosidad, la escuela abrió sus puertas en enero del 2002. Aproximadamente 225 niños asisten a la escuela y sus padres están muy agradecidos de tener esta oportunidad para sus hijos. Aunque nuestros feligreses no han podido viajar en misión a la escuela durante los últimos dos años debido al COVID-19, esperamos ansiosamente la posibilidad de la misión en 2022. Estar en la escuela cambia la vida de nuestros misioneros parroquiales mientras toman el control de la enseñanza educativa durante parte del día. Estos misioneros bien preparados llegan con el corazón abierto al compartir nuestra fe con los niños, sus familias y los miembros enfermos de sus familias. La segunda campaña de recaudación y donación de este fin de semana continuará proporcionando fondos para los salarios de 11 maestros.

Mientras tanto, este sábado 13 de noviembre, por la tarde, organizamos la Cena anual de Acción de Gracias para los refugiados de todo el mundo que se han encontrado en Houston a través de Catholic Charities/Caridades Católicas. Siempre es un evento divertido tratar de comunicarse con la gente a través del lenguaje de señas, la risa, las sonrisas y la preocupación, mientras se reúnen con nosotros para compartir una comida de Acción de Gracias. Cada vez más, tratamos de servir comida que sea familiar para nuestros invitados, mientras que en el pasado intentábamos compartir con ellos nuestra propia cena de Acción de Gracias. La hospitalidad nos ha enseñado a acercarnos y ser acogedores a través de platos familiares para ellos. Siempre fue interesante intentar describir un "pavo" a personas completamente ajenas al pájaro. Una vez más, un sincero agradecimiento para todos nuestros feligreses que hacen que esto suceda. Parece que todas y cada una de las veces que nos acercamos más allá de nosotros mismos, recibimos muchas gracias por vivir el mensaje del Evangelio de acoger al extraño en nuestro medio. Gracias a todos por hacerlo posible.

El mes que viene tendremos otra oportunidad más con Christmas Angles/Ángeles de Navidad. Siempre se necesitan voluntarios para que el día transcurra sin problemas. Al igual que en la Cena de Acción de Gracias para los refugiados, se necesitan discípulos del Señor de todas las edades para llevar la alegría de la Navidad a los necesitados. Una vez más, les pido que consulten el boletín y nuestro sitio web para obtener más detalles.

Recordando rezar por las almas del purgatorio,


¡Todos los niños de grados 3 a 8, vengan y canten al Señor!¡Un coro, unidos en

canción!La práctica es los Martes

a las 6:00 p.m., en el salon de música. Para más

Domingo, Nov 14, 2021TRIGÉSIMO TERCER DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIOLos pobres tienen un regalo para tiLa caridad presupone un dador y un receptor, nos recuerda el Papa Francisco en esta quinta Jornada Mundial de los Pobres. Esta división plantea un peligro espiritual: tentar al dador para ver a los pobres como una "categoría" fuera de nuestra comunidad, a la que podemos elegir ofrecer nuestra generosidad. Esta percepción gratifica al dador y denigra al receptor. Francisco observa que "los pobres, siempre y en todas partes, nos evangelizan," revelándonos al Cristo que sufre. La caridad es ocasional y voluntaria; compartir mutuamente, en cambio, es duradero. La verdadera invitación de los pobres es ésta: compartir la carga de Cristo hasta que podamos aliviarla.

LECTURAS PARA HOY: Daniel 12:1-3; Hebreos 10:11-14, 18; Marcos 13:24-32 (158). "El cielo y la tierra pasarán, pero mis palabras no pasarán."
