Sunday, April 10th. com.
LAETARE SUNDAY – Today we celebrate the Fourth Sunday of Lent. It is traditionally called “Laetare Sunday” and derives its Latin name from the first word of the Mass text, "Laetare Jerusalem" (Rejoice, O Jerusalem). It is a day of joy within the mourning season. The altars may be decorated with flowers, organ playing is permitted (not just to sustain singing), and the priests wear rose-colored vestments instead of purple. The reason for such display of joy is explained in a sermon by Pope Innocent III (1216): "On this Sunday, which marks the middle of Lent, a measure of consoling relaxation is provided, so that the faithful may not break down under the severe strain of Lenten fast but may continue to bear the restrictions with a refreshed and easier heart." This “midway” point in Lent is a good time for us to examine the Lenten resolutions we made back on Ash Wednesday and see if we have been faithful to them. It’s a time to renew those resolutions. Next Sunday you will notice a dramatic change in the church environment. All the statues as well as the crucifixes will be covered with purple cloth. The Fifth Sunday of Lent begins the last part of Lent which is called Passiontide. It includes the last full week of Lent (5th week) and Holy Week In ancient times many of the crosses in churches were "gemmatae," that is, covered with jewels and without a corpus (body) or with a corpus of the risen Savior, a sign of the resurrection. These crosses were covered during Passiontide to help people meditate more on the sufferings of Jesus. If the crosses were covered, it was thought necessary to cover also all the other pictures and statues. In the course of years, especially influenced by Franciscan spirituality in the 13th century, the cross "evolved" and most crosses were crucifixes, vividly showing the death of Christ. However, the "covering custom" continued. The veil on the crucifix is removed during the Solemn Liturgy of Good Friday while the coverings of the statues are removed at the singing of the “Gloria” at the Easter Vigil. LENTEN PARISH MISSION IN ENGLISH BEGINS TODAY! – This weekend we welcome Fr. Dominic DeMario, OP, who will be with us for two weeks conducting the two parish missions. This week in English and next week in Spanish. Father will preach at all English Masses today and all Spanish Masses next Sunday. The English mission with then formally start on Monday morning and continue to Thursday, March 28 to 31. There will be two English conferences each day (with the same content): one in the morning after the 8:15 a.m. Mass and one in the evening at 7:15 p.m. Please see the flyer in today's bulletin. A parish mission is a form of a "mini-retreat" of renewal for the entire parish. I still remember the first parish mission I ever heard as an 8th grader in Catholic school. It made a huge impact in my life and I attribute the beginning of my vocation to that mission. I urge you to make a bit of time for it to renew your spiritual life. LENTEN REMINDERS – As part of Lent, please remember that we have the Stations of the Cross devotion each week. We pray the Stations each Friday of Lent at 9:00 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. in English and at 7:00 pm in Spanish. The English Stations in the evening are concluded with Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament. We also have Confessions 3 times per week: Tuesdays during the 7:00 p.m. Holy Hour and Saturdays at 4:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. Please take advantage of this opportunity to cleanse your soul and receive the grace of the Sacrament of Penance. THANK YOU! – I never cease to be amazed at the kindness and generosity of our parishioners. Two weeks ago, the Archdiocese made an appeal to help with the humanitarian efforts as a result of the terrible war in Ukraine. Our parishioners immediately responded, and the second collection was a total of $4,174.00 (with no advance notice) which was immediately sent to the Propagation of the Faith to assist especially with the refugees. Thank you and may God bless you for your generosity! Let us keep up our prayers for an end to the hostilities.
FROM PASTOR'S DESK - CON'T: LET’S GO PAPERLESS! – One of the things that the shutdown of 2020 made very real is the need for us to give our tithes to the parish via electronic giving. Electronic giving is a tremendous convenience for our parishioners as well as for the parish. Many parishes throughout the country and in our own Archdiocese have long ago switched to electronic giving in an effort to get rid of the old-fashioned checks and cash. The pandemic shutdown actually made it absolutely imperative that as many people as possible switch to this form of giving and many of our parishioners have done so. If you have not yet signed up, please do so at: www. standrewpasadena.org and click on the "donate" button. MARK YOUR CALENDARS: TALLIS SCHOLARS COMING TO ST. ANDREW'S! – The world renowned Tallis Scholars is a British professional early music vocal ensemble normally consisting of two singers per part, with a core group of ten singers. They specialize in performing a cappella sacred vocal music. They tour widely around the world performing over 70 concerts in North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. This year we are very honored to be hosting their final concert of their USA tour. It will take place on Saturday, May 7th. Tickets are now on sale on our parish website at: www.standrewpasadena.org This is a concert NOT to be missed! LOST AND FOUND – Almost on a weekly basis we find items in church left behind by people: glasses, prayer books, ear pods (to listen to the ball game while I preach), car keys (I don't know how they get home!), etc. Please note that all these items are taken daily to the Pastoral Center where we have a Lost and Found drawer. If you forgot a particular item, please go there to retrieve it. If it's not there, please leave name and telephone number as sometimes things will turn up a few days later. In Christ and St. Andrew, Fr. Gonzalez ELEMENTARY SCHOOL NONDISCRIMINATION POLICY 2021-2022 SCHOOL STUDENT NON-DISCRIMINATION POLICY The school, mindful of its mission to be a witness to the love of Christ for all, admits students regardless of race, color, national origin, and/or ethnic origin to all rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. The school does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, disability, medical condition, sex, or national and/or ethnic origin in the administration of educational policies and practices, scholarship programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs, although certain athletic leagues and other programs may limit participation and some archdiocesan schools operate as single-sex schools. While the school does not discriminate against students with special needs, a full range of services may not always be available to them. Decisions concerning the admission and continued enrollment of a student in the school are based upon the student's emotional, academic, and physical abilities and the resources available to the school in meeting the student's needs.

DOMINGO DE LAETARE – Hoy celebramos el Cuarto Domingo de Cuaresma. Tradicionalmente se le llama “Domingo Laetare” y su nombre en latín deriva de la primera palabra del texto de la Misa, “Laetare Jerusalem” (Alégrate, oh Jerusalén). Es un día de alegría dentro de la temporada de luto. Los altares pueden estar decorados con flores, se permite tocar el órgano (no solo para sostener el canto) y los sacerdotes usan vestimentas de color rosa en lugar de púrpura. El motivo de tal manifestación de alegría se explica en un sermón del Papa Inocencio III (1216): "Este domingo, que marca la mitad de la Cuaresma, se proporciona una medida de relajación consoladora, para que los fieles no se derrumben bajo el severa tensión del ayuno de Cuaresma, pero pueden continuar soportando las restricciones con un corazón refrescado y más tranquilo". Este punto “a mitad de camino” en la Cuaresma es un buen momento para que examinemos las resoluciones de Cuaresma que hicimos el Miércoles de Ceniza y veamos si hemos sido fieles a ellas. Es hora de renovar esas resoluciones. El próximo domingo notarán un cambio dramático en el ambiente de la iglesia. Todas las estatuas así como los crucifijos estarán cubiertos con tela púrpura. El Quinto Domingo de Cuaresma da comienzo a la última parte de la Cuaresma que se llama Pasionada. Incluye la última semana completa de Cuaresma (quinta semana) y Semana Santa, En la antigüedad muchas de las cruces de las iglesias eran "gemmatae", es decir, cubiertas de joyas y sin corpus (cuerpo) o con corpus del Salvador resucitado, un signo de la resurrección. Estas cruces se cubrieron durante La Pasionada para ayudar a las personas a meditar más sobre los sufrimientos de Jesús. Si se cubrieron las cruces, se consideró necesario cubrir también todos los demás cuadros y estatuas. En el transcurso de los años, especialmente influenciados por la espiritualidad franciscana en el siglo XIII, la cruz "evolucionó" y la mayoría de las cruces eran crucifijos, mostrando vívidamente la muerte de Cristo. Sin embargo, la "costumbre de cubrir" continuó. El velo del crucifijo se quita durante la Liturgia Solemne del Viernes Santo, mientras que las cubiertas de las estatuas se quitan con el canto del “Gloria” en la Vigilia Pascual. MISION PARROQUIAL – Este año tendremos nuestra Misión Parroquial durante la Cuaresma para ayudarnos todos a renovarnos espiritualmente durante esta temporada privilegiada. En esta ocasión la Misión será dirigida por el Padre Dominic DiMaio, O.P., y tomará lugar en la última semana de la Cuaresma, Abril 4 a 7. Las charlas serán cada noche después de la Misa de 6:30 p.m. Espero que todos puedan aprovechar de esta oportunidad de renovación espiritual. Marquen sus calendarios desde ahora. RECORDATORIOS DE CUARESMA – Como parte de la Cuaresma, recuerde que tenemos la devoción de las Estaciones de la Cruz cada semana. Rezamos el Via Crucis cada viernes de Cuaresma a las 9:00 a.m. y 5:30 p.m. en inglés y a las 7:00 p.m. en español. También tenemos Confesiones 3 veces por semana: los martes durante la Hora Santa de 7:00 p.m. y Sábados a las 4:00 p.m. y 7:00 p.m. Aproveche esta oportunidad para limpiar su alma y recibir la gracia del Sacramento de la Penitencia. ¡GRACIAS! – No dejo de asombrarme de la amabilidad y generosidad de nuestros feligreses. Hace dos semanas, la Arquidiócesis hizo un llamado para ayudar con los esfuerzos humanitarios como resultado de la terrible guerra en Ucrania. Nuestros feligreses respondieron de inmediato, y la segunda colecta fue un total de $4,174.00 (sin previo aviso) que se envió de inmediato a La Propagación de la Fe para ayudar especialmente con los refugiados. ¡Gracias y que Dios los bendiga por su generosidad! Mantengamos nuestras oraciones por el fin de las hostilidades.
¡VAMOS SIN PAPEL! – Una de las cosas que la cerrada
del 2020 pasado hizo muy real es la necesidad de que
demos nuestros diezmos a la parroquia a través de
donaciones electrónicas. Las donaciones electrónicas
son una gran comodidad para nuestros feligreses y para
la parroquia. Muchas parroquias en todo el país y en
nuestra propia Arquidiócesis han cambiado hace mucho
tiempo a las donaciones electrónicas en un esfuerzo por
deshacerse de los cheques y el efectivo anticuados. El
cierre por la pandemia en realidad hizo absolutamente
imperativo que tantas personas como sea posible
cambien a esta forma de dar y muchos de nuestros
feligreses lo han hecho. Si aún no se ha registrado,
