SOLEMNITY OF THE ASCENSION – Today we celebrate the beautiful Solemnity of Our Lord’s glorious Ascension into heaven following his Resurrection. Next Sunday brings the Solemnity of Pentecost which ends the Easter season. CONGRATULATIONS! – Yesterday we had two beautiful Masses of First Holy Communion for the children in our Religious Education Program. There will be two more of these Masses on May 29th. Next Saturday, May 22nd we will have our Confirmation Mass with Bishop David O'Connell officiating as the Confirming Prelate. We congratulate all of our children! MONTH OF MARY – During this month of May we especially honor our Blessed Mother Mary. This past week we had the ceremony of crowning the image of Our Lady and we renewed our consecration to her Immaculate Heart. I encourage you to pray the rosary daily but especially during this month of Mary. I recommend this website: www.rosarycenter.org for resources on praying the rosary. At each of our First Communion Masses, each child received the brown scapular of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel and was invested with it. I think most of us received the scapular on the day of our First Holy Communion. This is a wonderful time to renew our devotion to her and wear her scapular as a reminder of it. RETURN TO IN-PERSON MEETINGS – We have been notified that in-person meetings of all our parish organizations are once again permitted as we are now well into the "yellow tier" of reopening of the state. This means that our various parish organizations can once again start scheduling meetings as usual. Ordinarily we do not have many meetings in July or August so they may want to take advantage of the rest of May and June and renew their bonds of friendship and apostolate. Due to the shutdown of all meetings for the long period since March of 2020 until now, the schedules of the parish have changed. The various groups should reserve their desired meeting days and times with the Pastoral Center staff before notifying members of any meetings. LIFTING OF VARIOUS RESTRICTIONS – Due to the dramatic drop in coronavirus infections in our state and the high vaccination rate, various restrictions are slowly being lifted. As you may have noticed, the Holy Water fonts are once again full of holy water. The missalettes and chant cards have also returned to the pews. According to the CDC guidelines these things do not transmit the coronavirus. (Too bad they only figured it out now after a year of being deprived of these!) Our confessionals are also back in use for Confession. In fact, all four of our Confessionals are now available since they were all renovated last year during the pandemic shut down. They are now in conformity with the privacy requirements of canon law as well as with new ventilation systems. Frequent Confession is recommended for all.
MASSES ONLINE – The livestream service which we started last year at the beginning of the pandemic has
served us very well. This was especially true during the total lockdown imposed by Governor Newsom in
March of 2020. Thankfully, we were able to transmit our Masses with no break from the first weekend of
shut down until now.
Almost all of our parishioners have now returned to regular in-person assistance at Mass. There are a
few who are awaiting their vaccines and thus not yet able to join us. To reach out to them we are still
livestreaming our Sunday Masses at 9:30 a.m. in English and 11:00 a.m. in Spanish. We will continue
this for the month of May and, possibly, first two weeks of June. After that they will be discontinued
since that service will no longer be necessary. Please check for the links on our parish website: www.
standrewpasadena.org.
FUNERAL PLANNING – With fairly regular frequency we have situations of persons dying without having
made any sort of funeral plans. This presents a real burden to the family left behind as they try to ascertain
the person’s wishes regarding the funeral. I would encourage you, no matter your age, to have a Will and
to also have some written instructions regarding your wishes for your funeral. It is a great help to the
surviving family members. When I was ordained, we were all required to submit to the Archdiocese a copy
of our Last Will and Testament and our funeral plans.
I thought it was somewhat odd at the time, but now I recognize the wisdom of it and I’m glad that I did
it. In your Will I also hope you remember St. Andrew Parish. Our parish, like many others, relies of the
bequests of its faithful parishioners in order to have long term financial security. Frequently substantial
donations which are left by parishioners to the parish upon their death are the funds used for major projects
in parishes. These bequests speak of the person’s love for their parish over the years and their desire to leave
a legacy for others.
In Christ and St. Andrew,
Father Gonzalez

SOLEMNIDAD DE LA ASCENSIÓN – Hoy celebramos la hermosa solemnidad de la gloriosa Ascensión de Nuestro Señor al cielo después de su Resurrección. El próximo domingo llega la solemnidad de Pentecostés que finaliza el tiempo de Pascua. ¡FELICIDADES! – Ayer tuvimos dos hermosas Misas de Primera Comunión para los niños de nuestro Programa de Educación Religiosa. Habrá dos Misas más el 29 de mayo. El próximo sábado 22 de mayo tendremos nuestra Misa de Confirmación con el Obispo David O'Connell oficiando como Prelado Confirmador. ¡Felicitamos a todos nuestros niños! MES DE MARÍA – Durante este mes de mayo honramos especialmente a nuestra Santísima Madre María. La semana pasada tuvimos la ceremonia de coronar la imagen de Nuestra Señora y renovamos nuestra consagración a su Inmaculado Corazón. Los animo a rezar el rosario todos los días pero especialmente durante este mes de María. Recomiendo este sitio web: www.rosarycenter.org para obtener recursos sobre cómo rezar el rosario. En cada una de nuestras Misas de Primera Comunión, cada niño recibió el escapulario Carmelita de Nuestra Señora del Montes. Carmelo y fue investido con él. Creo que la mayoría de nosotros recibimos el escapulario el día de nuestra Primera Comunión. Este es un momento maravilloso para renovar nuestra devoción a ella y llevar su escapulario como recordatorio. REGRESO A LAS REUNIONES EN PERSONA – Se nos ha notificado que las reuniones en persona de todas nuestras organizaciones parroquiales están nuevamente permitidas ya que ahora estamos en el "nivel amarillo" de la reapertura del estado. Esto significa que nuestras diversas organizaciones parroquiales pueden comenzar una vez más a programar reuniones como de costumbre. Normalmente no tenemos muchas reuniones en julio o agosto por lo que quizás quieran aprovechar el resto de mayo y junio y renovar sus lazos de amistad y apostolado. Debido al cierre de todas las reuniones durante el largo período desde marzo de 2020 hasta ahora, los horarios de la parroquia han cambiado. Los diversos grupos deben reservar los días y horarios de reunión deseados con el personal del Centro Pastoral antes de notificar a los miembros de cualquier reunión. LEVANTAMIENTO DE VARIAS RESTRICCIONES – Debido a la dramática caída en las infecciones por coronavirus en nuestro estado y la alta tasa de vacunación, varias restricciones se están levantando lentamente. Como habrán notado, las fuentes de Agua Bendita están una vez más llenas de agua bendita. Los missales y las tarjetas de canto también han regresado a los bancos. Según las pautas de los CDC, estas cosas no transmiten el coronavirus. (¡Lástima que solo lo hayan descubierto ahora después de un año de haber sido privados de ellos!) Nuestros confesionarios también están de nuevo en uso para la confesión. De hecho, nuestros cuatro Confesionarios ya están disponibles ya que todos fueron renovados el año pasado durante el cierre de la pandemia. Ahora cumplen con los requisitos de privacidad del derecho canónico, así como con los nuevos sistemas de ventilación. Se recomienda la confesión frecuente para todos.
MISAS EN LÍNEA – El servicio de transmisión en vivo que comenzamos el año pasado al comienzo de
la pandemia nos ha servido muy bien. Esto fue especialmente cierto durante el cierre total impuesto por
el Gobernador Newsom en marzo de 2020. Afortunadamente, pudimos transmitir nuestras Misas sin
interrupciones desde el primer fin de semana de cierre hasta ahora.
Casi todos nuestros feligreses han regresado a la asistencia regular en persona en la Misa. Hay algunos que
están esperando sus vacunas y, por lo tanto, aún no pueden unirse a nosotros. Para llegar a ellos, todavía
estamos transmitiendo en vivo nuestras Misas dominicales a las 9:30 a.m. en inglés y a las 11:00 a.m. en
español. Continuaremos con esto durante el mes de mayo y, posiblemente, las dos primeras semanas de
junio. Después de eso, se suspenderán ya que ese servicio ya no será necesario. Consulte los enlaces en el
sitio web de nuestra parroquia: www.standrewpasadena.org
PLANIFICACIÓN DE FUNERALES – Con bastante regularidad tenemos situaciones de personas que
mueren sin haber hecho ningún tipo de plan funerario. Esto representa una carga real para la familia que
se queda atrás mientras intenta averiguar los deseos de la persona con respecto al funeral. Les animo, sin
importar su edad, a tener un testamento y también a tener algunas instrucciones escritas con respecto a
sus deseos para su funeral. Es de gran ayuda para los familiares sobrevivientes.
Cuando fui ordenado, todos estábamos obligados a presentar a la Arquidiócesis una copia de nuestra
Última Voluntad y Testamento y nuestros planes funerarios. Pensé que era algo extraño en ese momento,
pero ahora reconozco la sabiduría de eso y me alegro de haberlo hecho.
En su testamento también espero que recuerde la parroquia de San Andrés. Nuestra parroquia, como
muchas otras, depende de los legados de sus fieles feligreses para tener seguridad financiera a largo plazo.
Con frecuencia, las donaciones sustanciales que los feligreses dejan a la parroquia después de su muerte
son los fondos utilizados para proyectos importantes en las parroquias. Estos legados hablan del amor de
la persona por su parroquia a lo largo de los años y su deseo de dejar un legado para los demás.
En Cristo y San Andrés,
Padre González
EL SIGNIFICADO DE LA ASCENSIÓN
La unión teológica, o tal vez la experiencia temporal de la primera comunidad cristiana, hizo
parecer que la Resurrección y Ascensión de Jesús eran aspectos inseparables de un único misterio. Solo
en los últimos escritos de Lucas y Juan la reflexión teológica que iba madurando ayudó a la comunidad
cristiana distinguir las diferentes dimensiones del misterio. La tradición litúrgica ha seguido la cronología
de cuarenta días formulada por Lucas. No comprenderíamos lo esencial, sin embargo, si exigiéramos
una cronología precisa de acontecimientos históricos como la Resurrección y la Ascensión que son
principalmente de naturaleza espiritual y que superan claramente los límites del tiempo y el espacio tal
como los conocemos.
Lo que es importante es que comprendamos el significado de la Ascensión. Para Lucas, es el
momento decisivo que marca el final del ministerio terrenal de Jesús y el comienzo del ministerio guiado
por el Espíritu de los discípulos, y por lo tanto el ministerio de toda la Iglesia hasta nuestros días.
