SOLEMNITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI – Today we celebrate the beautiful solemnity of Corpus Christi (the Body and Blood of Christ). On this feast we focus especially on the Lord’s Real Presence in the Most Holy Eucharist, the Blessed Sacrament. Traditionally, Eucharistic processions are held on this day throughout the world to highlight the Lord’s love in remaining with us in His Eucharistic Presence. Due to the Covid restrictions which are still in place until June 15th, we will not be able to have our annual procession this year. God willing, it will return next year. This is also a good feast to remind us of the need to pray before the Blessed Sacrament. We are blessed in our parish to have weekly Exposition and Benediction. This Holy Hour takes place each Tuesday evening at 7:00 p.m. Everyone is invited to come and spend an hour with the Lord in prayer. Our church is always open for prayer during the day from before the morning 8:15 a.m. Mass until after the daily 6:30 p.m. Mass. Over the years you would be surprised at how many people have converted to the Catholic faith at our parish simply because our church was open for prayer and they were drawn in by the Real Presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist. Today is also an opportune day to review proper procedures for the devout reception of Holy Communion. Please carefully read the insert in today’s bulletin. Although we all made our First Communion years ago and think we know how to receive there are sometimes bad habits that we can easily fall into. Please note that there is no restriction on the reception of Holy Communion on the tongue. JUNE IS THE MONTH OF THE SACRED HEART – This beautiful devotion to the Heart of Jesus seems to have been lost in our modern world. And, yet it is needed today more than ever. The actual feast day this year falls on June 11th this year, but the devotion is for the entire month. In light of all the darkness in our world especially with the pandemic and social unrest, the emphasis on the love of Christ is ever more urgent. In our church we are blessed to have a magnificent chapel on the south ambulatory which depicts Our Lord as King of the Universe and shows his loving Heart. Remember: June is the month of the Sacred Heart. Let us renew our devotion to Him. LIVESTREAM MASSES WILL BE ENDING – Last year when we were shut down on March 17, 2020, we immediately began to livestream our Sunday Masses so that our parishioners could access them and pray along at home. Obviously, this was never a truly perfect or satisfactory solution since we must worship in person and be able to receive Holy Communion. Nevertheless, it was the best we could do under the circumstances. Now, however, with all restrictions in the state of California being removed on June 15th, we will no longer need to livestream our Masses any further. Next Sunday will be the last Sunday that we will transmit our Masses via the internet. By this time everyone who is able should be back in church in person. For the homebound and sick, livestream Masses continue to be available at www.ewtn.com CONGRATULATIONS GRADUATES! – This past Friday we celebrated the Graduation of our 8th graders at St. Andrew School. It was a wonderful celebration of accomplishment. This class has been successfully able to overcome the many challenges of the Coronavirus pandemic, yet they have been resilient. Tonight, I will celebrate with the Mayfield Senior School as I lead the prayers for their Graduation ceremony and this coming Friday, we host the Graduation ceremonies for St. Monica Academy as well. We congratulate them all!
DON'T POSTPONE THE SACRAMENTS! – Now that First Communion "season" has ended I've had the chance to reflect on our celebrations. It was a great joy to celebrate the First Communions of so many children of our community. But I noticed that in each of the 4 Masses there were far more children in higher grades than in 2nd grade which is the norm. Please remember that children should be registered for First Communion when they enter the 1st grade. Since it is a 2-year program they then receive their First Holy Communion in the 2nd grade when they are 7 years old. This is a beautiful tradition so that children receive Jesus as soon as they reach the age of reason and are able to acknowledge the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. I've also noticed that we have a lot of baptisms each week but, again, these babies are not really babies anymore. They are usually toddlers or even older. The Church teaches that children should be baptized "as soon as possible" after birth. Ordinarily this should be within the first month after birth. So, arrangements for Baptism should be made in the latter months of the pregnancy so they can be baptized right away. We should never delay the reception of the salvific grace of Christ to our children. END OF SCHOOL YEAR – The end of the academic year 2020-21 comes this Friday. Right afterwards our school will offer summer school. Please check out the school website: www.saspasadena.com for more information. This is also the time to enroll your children for the new academic year which begins in late August. Remember that a Catholic education is an "advantage for life." DRIVE IN THEATRE IN OUR PARKING LOT – Please note that our large parking lot is being leased out on the weekends in June in the evenings (after Mass and Confessions so as not to conflict with our parish schedule.) ALTAR SERVER TRAINING – If you have a son who is interested in being an Altar Boy you are invited to our next Server training classes which will take place as follows starting this week: June 9 and 10 - 4:30 p.m. in the Sacristy chapel June 16 and 17 - 4:30 p.m. in the Sacristy chapel Altar boys must have already received their First Holy Communion and be at least in the 3rd grade. This class will also be a good review for our current Altar Servers as well. We are also in the process of forming a new group of servers called the Knights of the Altar. These are young men in high school and above who will take the leadership roles during our liturgical services and act as Masters of Ceremonies. In addition to this, however, they will be formed in an informal fraternity which will include social activities as well as spiritual and doctrinal formation. More on this to come in the next few months. We will also be forming a group for young ladies as well, high school and above, in the next few months. This group will also focus on friendship, social activities and spiritual and doctrinal formation. FATHERS’ DAY – Fathers’ Day is June 20th so now is the time to enroll all fathers (or grandfather or Godfather or brother, etc.) in the upcoming Novena of Masses. You may do so using the envelope mailed to you or stopping by the Pastoral Center or the church gift shop to obtain the cards. In Christ and St. Andrew, Father Gonzalez

SOLEMNIDAD DEL CORPUS CHRISTI –Hoy celebramos la hermosa solemnidad del Corpus Christi (el Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo). En esta fiesta nos centramos especialmente en la Presencia Real del Señor en la Santísima Eucaristía, el Santísimo Sacramento. Tradicionalmente, las procesiones eucarísticas se llevan a cabo en este día en todo el mundo para resaltar el amor del Señor al permanecer con nosotros en Su Presencia Eucarística. Debido a las restricciones de Covid que todavía están vigentes hasta el 15 de junio, no podremos tener nuestra procesión anual este año. Si Dios quiere, volverá el año que viene. Esta también es una buena fiesta para recordarnos la necesidad de rezar ante el Santísimo Sacramento. Somos bendecidos en nuestra parroquia por tener Exposicion y Bendicion semanal. Esta Hora Santa tiene lugar todos los martes por la noche a las 7:00 p.m. Todos están invitados a pasar una hora con el Señor en oración. Nuestra iglesia está siempre abierta para la oración durante el día desde antes de la Misa de las 8:15 a.m. de la mañana hasta después de las 6:30 p.m. Misa. A lo largo de los años, se sorprenderá de cuántas personas se han convertido a la fe católica en nuestra parroquia simplemente porque nuestra iglesia estaba abierta para la oración y fueron atraídos por la Presencia Real de Cristo en la Sagrada Eucaristía. Hoy también es un día oportuno para revisar los procedimientos adecuados para la devota recepción de la Sagrada Comunión. Lea atentamente el volante del boletín de hoy. Aunque todos hicimos nuestra Primera Comunión hace años y pensamos que sabemos cómo recibir, a veces hay malos hábitos en los que podemos caer fácilmente. Tenga en cuenta que no hay restricciones sobre la recepción de la Sagrada Comunión en la lengua. JUNIO ES EL MES DEL SAGRADO CORAZÓN – Esta hermosa devoción al Corazón de Jesús parece haberse perdido en nuestro mundo moderno. Y, sin embargo, se necesita hoy más que nunca. El día de la fiesta este año cae el 11 de junio, pero la devoción es para todo el mes. A la luz de toda la oscuridad en nuestro mundo, especialmente con la pandemia y el malestar social, el énfasis en el amor de Cristo es cada vez más urgente. En nuestra iglesia tenemos la bendición de tener una magnífica capilla en el deambulatorio sur que representa a Nuestro Señor como Rey del Universo y muestra su Corazón amoroso. Recuerde: junio es el mes del Sagrado Corazón. Renuevemos nuestra devoción a Él. LAS MISAS DE LIVESTREAM TERMINARÁN – El año pasado, cuando cerramos el 17 de marzo de 2020, inmediatamente comenzamos a transmitir en vivo nuestras Misas dominicales para que nuestros feligreses pudieran acceder a ellas y orar en casa. Obviamente, esta nunca fue una solución verdaderamente perfecta o satisfactoria, ya que debemos adorar en persona y poder recibir la Sagrada Comunión. Sin embargo, fue lo mejor que pudimos hacer dadas las circunstancias. Ahora, sin embargo, con todas las restricciones en el estado de California eliminadas el 15 de junio, ya no necesitaremos transmitir nuestras Misas en vivo. El próximo domingo será el último domingo que transmitiremos nuestras Misas a través de internet. Para entonces, todos los que puedan, deben estar de regreso en la iglesia en persona. Para los confinados en casa y los enfermos, las Misas en vivo continúan estando disponibles en www.ewtn.com ¡FELICITACIONES GRADUADOS! – El viernes pasado celebramos la Graduación de nuestros alumnos de octavo grado en la Escuela San Andés. Fue una maravillosa celebración de logros. Esta clase ha podido superar con éxito los muchos desafíos de la pandemia de coronavirus, pero han sido resistentes. El domingo celebré con la Mayfield Senior School mientras dirigía las oraciones por su ceremonia de graduación y el próximo viernes también organizaremos las ceremonias de graduación de la Academia Santa Monica. ¡Los felicitamos a todos!
¡NO POSPONGA LOS SACRAMENTOS! – Ahora que terminó la "temporada" de las Primeras Comuniónes, he tenido la oportunidad de reflexionar sobre nuestras celebraciones. Fue una gran alegría celebrar las Primeras Comuniones de tantos niños de nuestra comunidad. Pero noté que en cada una de las 4 Misas había muchos más niños en grados superiores que en 2º grado, que es la norma. Recuerde que los niños deben registrarse para la Primera Comunión cuando ingresen al 1er grado. Dado que es un programa de 2 años, reciben su Primera Comunión en segundo grado cuando tienen 7 años. Esta es una hermosa tradición para que los niños reciban a Jesús tan pronto como alcancen la edad de la razón y sean capaces de reconocer la Presencia Real de Cristo en la Eucaristía. También he notado que tenemos muchos bautismos cada semana pero, nuevamente, estos bebés ya no son realmente bebés. Suelen ser niños pequeños o incluso mayores. La Iglesia enseña que los niños deben ser bautizados "lo antes posible" después del nacimiento. Por lo general, esto debe ocurrir dentro del primer mes después del nacimiento. Por lo tanto, los arreglos para el bautismo deben hacerse en los últimos meses del embarazo para que puedan ser bautizados de inmediato. Nunca debemos retrasar la recepción de la gracia salvífica de Cristo a nuestros hijos. FINAL DEL AÑO ESCOLAR – El fin del año académico 2020-21 llega este viernes. Inmediatamente después de nuestra escuela ofrecerá la escuela de verano. Consulte el sitio web de la escuela: www.saspasadena.com para obtener más información. Este es también el momento de inscribir a sus hijos para el nuevo año académico que comienza al fin de agosto. Recuerde que una educación católica es una "ventaja para la vida". CINE AL AIRE LIBRE EN NUESTRO ESTACIONAMIENTO – Tengan en cuenta que nuestro estacionamiento se alquilado los fines de semana de junio por las noches (después de la Misa y las confesiones para no entrar en grande conflicto con el horario de nuestra parroquia). ENTRENAMIENTO DE MONAGUILLOS – Si tiene un hijo que está interesado en ser monaguillo, está invitado a nuestras próximas clases de entrenamiento de monaguillos que se llevarán a cabo de la siguiente manera: 9 y 10 de junio - 4:30 p.m. en la capilla de la sacristía 16 y 17 de junio - 4:30 p.m. en la capilla de la sacristía Los monaguillos ya deben haber recibido su Primera Comunión y estar al menos en el 3er grado. Esta clase también será una buena revisión para nuestros monaguillos actuales. También estamos en el proceso de formar un nuevo grupo de servidores llamados los Caballeros del Altar. Estos son hombres jóvenes en la escuela secundaria y superior que asumirán los roles de liderazgo durante nuestros servicios litúrgicos y actuarán como Maestros de Ceremonias. Sin embargo, además de esto, se formarán en una fraternidad informal que incluirá actividades sociales así como formación espiritual y doctrinal. Más sobre esto en los próximos meses. También formaremos un grupo para señoritas, de secundaria y superiores, en los próximos meses. Este grupo también se centrará en la amistad, las actividades sociales y la formación espiritual y doctrinal. DÍA DEL PADRE – El día del padre es el 20 de junio, así que ahora es el momento de inscribir a todos los padres (o abuelo o padrino o hermano, etc.) en la próxima Novena de Misas. Puede hacerlo usando el sobre que se le envió por correo o pasando por el Centro Pastoral o la tienda de regalos de la iglesia para obtener las tarjetas. En Cristo y San Andrés, Padre González
