MISSIONARY COOPERATION WEEKEND – This weekend is our “Missionary Co-Op Weekend.” Each year the Archdiocese of Los Angeles assigns a Missionary Order to come to various parishes to speak on behalf of the Missions. This year we are hosting the Comboni Missionaries who will be speaking to us at all Masses about their missionary work. The second collection next weekend will be sent to them to assist them in their ministry. Let us welcome Fr. Jorge Ochoa today. WEDDING ANNIVERSARIES – Now that we are back to regular in person worship and full Mass schedule, we are also able to celebrate wedding anniversaries each month. These will begin next Sunday, July 18 and continue on the third Sunday of each month at all Masses. PLEASE BE CAREFUL WITH COMMUNION – An odd thing has been happening in recent months. Some people come forward to receive Holy Communion but instead of immediately consuming the Host they walk away carrying the Host in their hands. When this happens, the priest or Extraordinary Minister has to immediately stop and follow that person to ensure that the Host is consumed. Please remember consume the Host immediately upon reception while still standing in front of the priest or Eucharistic minister. FUNERAL PLANNING – We've been having quite a few funerals in the last several months. Many of these are from other parishes which have not been open. But questions regularly arise as to what the proper funeral customs for us as Catholics are. I thought this would be a good time to review procedures. The usual plan for the Funeral Rites are in 3 parts: 1) The Vigil (which includes the Rosary) - This is usually done in the evening prior to the Funeral Mass and is ordinarily celebrated in the Mortuary unless the attendance will be so large that use of the church is required. The Vigil may be led by a priest, deacon or even an authorized lay person. 2) The Funeral Mass - this is the most important part of the Funeral Rites as there is nothing more efficacious for salvation than the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. It is ordinarily celebrated in the morning and must always take place in the church or chapel. 3) The Rite of Committal (Burial) - this ordinarily immediately follows the Funeral Mass and is done at the cemetery. A Catholic cemetery is always preferred as it is consecrated ground and Mass is celebrated daily for those buried there. However, it is possible to also use a non-Catholic cemetery and the priest or deacon will bless the grave. While cremation is permitted, it is not preferred. If cremation takes place, ordinarily the cremation should occur after the Funeral Mass so that the body can be present for the Mass. If that is not possible then it is now permitted to have the cremains (ashes) present at the Funeral Mass. The cremains must then be taken to the cemetery for burial or location in a columbarium. It is never permitted to take the cremains home. I hope the above is helpful to you in planning. I know that it can seem morbid to talk about these things but death is also a part of life. When we plan our funeral ahead of time we are actually doing a great act of charity for those who will survive us and relieves them of great stress and doubt in a time of sorrow. I encourage you to plan ahead. I did my own funeral plans many years ago and pre-paid everything so that I am not a burden to anyone. I'm already enough of a burden as it is! It is also vitally important to have an up-to-date Will as well as Durable Power of Attorney for healthcare decisions as well as for property decisions. In preparing 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.
USHERS NEEDED – Our parish is currently in need of more people to assist at Mass as ushers. Some of
our Masses have a full complement of 8 but others do not. This is a very simple apostolate but very much
needed. Ideally, I would like to have 2 teams for each Mass so they can rotate and thus the load can be
shared. If you would like to help, please email me at: FrGonzalez@aol.com
TOGETHER IN MISSION UPDATE – As you know, a month ago we began the annual Together in Mission
campaign which assists the poorest parishes and schools of the Archdiocese. Of our goal of $82,018 we
have pledged so far approximately $31,000. This is good but it is still a very long way from completing
our commitment. I urge you to please consider making your pledge to this campaign today. This year, in
particular, is urgent due to the loss of income for these poor parishes due to the Covid 19 shutdown last year.
The pledge envelopes are available in the pews as well as the vestibule of the church. You may also do it
electronically by going to https://www.givecentral.org/togetherinmission21
From there you would select St. Andrew Parish - Pasadena and then follow the instructions.
It can be paid off over the course of several months or all at once. May God reward you for your generosity!
KNIGHTS OF THE ALTAR – As I announced to you previously, we are in the process of forming a new
group of Altar 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 a fraternity which will include social activities as well as spiritual
and doctrinal formation. There will be in an informational first meeting on Friday, July 23rd at 6:00 p.m. in
the Pastoral Center St. Patrick Room and patio. All of our current Altar Boys in high school and above are
invited. If you have a son in high school or college, please encourage him to attend as well even if he is not
currently an altar server.
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. More
information to follow.
In Christ and St. Andrew,
Father Gonzalez
FEAST OF FAITH
Invitation to the Eucharistic Prayer
After the presider washes his hands, he turns to the people and says, “Pray that our sacrifice may be
acceptable to God the almighty Father.” We have brought forward bread and wine, and now we are asked
to see in these simple gifts upon the altar a sacrifice offered to God. Our response is rich in theological
meaning. “May the Lord accept the sacrifice at your hands.” The words point to the unique role of the priest,
whose hands, at his ordination, were anointed for just this purpose: that he might “sanctify the Christian
people and offer sacrifice to God” (Rite of Ordination). We ask God to accept our sacrifice not because it is
worthy of God, but simply “for the praise and glory of his name.” God does not need our offering, but allows
us to give it so that we might grow in holiness. And God, never to be outdone in generosity, gives all that we
have given back to us, “for our good and the good of all his Church.” This Mass benefits not just those who
have gathered, but, in the mysterious economy of grace, the whole Church. In the words of Saint Paul, when
one part rejoices, the whole body “share[s] its joy” (1 Corinthians 12:26).

FIN DE SEMANA DE COOPERACIÓN MISIONERA – Este fin de semana es nuestro "Fin de semana de cooperación misionera". Cada año, la Arquidiócesis de Los Ángeles asigna una Orden Misionera para que venga a varias parroquias para hablar en nombre de las Misiones. Este año estamos acogiendo a los Misioneros Combonianos que nos hablarán en todas las Misas sobre su obra misional. Se les enviará la segunda colecta el próximo fin de semana para ayudarlos en su ministerio. Demos la bienvenida al Padre Jorge Ochoa hoy. ANIVERSARIOS DE BODAS – Ahora que volvimos a la adoración en persona y al horario completo de la Misa, también podemos celebrar los aniversarios de bodas cada mes. Estos comenzarán el próximo domingo 18 de julio y continuarán cada tercer domingo de cada mes en todas las Misas. POR FAVOR TENGA CUIDADO CON LA COMUNIÓN – Algo extraño ha estado sucediendo en los últimos meses. Algunas personas se acercan para recibir la Sagrada Comunión, pero en lugar de consumir inmediatamente la Hostia, se alejan llevando la Hostia en sus manos. Cuando esto sucede, el sacerdote o ministro extraordinario debe detenerse inmediatamente y seguir a esa persona para asegurarse de que se consuma la Hostia. Por favor recuerde consumir la Hostia inmediatamente después de la recepción mientras todavía está de pie frente al sacerdote o ministro eucarístico. PLANIFICACIÓN DE FUNERALES – Hemos tenido bastantes funerales en los últimos meses. Muchas de estas son de otras parroquias que no han estado abiertas. Pero regularmente surgen preguntas sobre cuáles son las costumbres funerarias adecuadas para nosotros como Católicos. Pensé que sería un buen momento para revisar los procedimientos. El plan habitual de los Ritos Exequiales consta de 3 partes: 1) La Vigilia (que incluye el Rosario) - Esto generalmente se hace en la noche anterior a la Misa Funeraria y generalmente se celebra en el Mortuorio, a menos que la asistencia sea tan grande que se requiera el uso de la iglesia. La Vigilia puede ser dirigida por un sacerdote, diácono o incluso un laico autorizado. 2) La Misa Exequial - Esta es la parte más importante de los Ritos Exequiales, ya que no hay nada más eficaz para la salvación que el Santo Sacrificio de la Misa. Se celebra normalmente por la mañana y siempre debe tener lugar en la iglesia o capilla. 3) El rito de Sepultura (entierro) - Esto normalmente sigue inmediatamente a la Misa exequial y se realiza en el cementerio. Siempre se prefiere un cementerio Católico, ya que es un terreno consagrado y todos los días se celebra la Misa por los enterrados allí. Sin embargo, también es posible utilizar un cementerio no Católico y el sacerdote o diácono bendecirá la tumba. Si bien se permite la cremación, no se prefiere. Si se lleva a cabo la cremación, normalmente la cremación debe ocurrir después de la Misa fúnebre para que el cuerpo pueda estar presente para la Misa. Si eso no es posible, ahora se permite tener las cenizas presentes en la Misa fúnebre. Luego debe ser llevado al cementerio para su entierro o ubicación en un columbario. Nunca está permitido llevarse las cenizas a casa. Espero que lo anterior le sea útil en la planificación. Sé que puede parecer morboso hablar de estas cosas, pero la muerte también forma parte de la vida. Cuando planificamos nuestro funeral con anticipación, en realidad estamos haciendo un gran acto de caridad para aquellos que nos sobrevivirán y los libera de un gran estrés y duda en un momento de dolor. Los animo a planificar con anticipación. Hice mis propios planes funerarios hace muchos años y pagué todo por adelantado para no ser una carga para nadie. ¡Ya soy carga suficiente! También es de vital importancia tener un testamento actualizado y un poder notarial duradero para las decisiones de atención médica y de propiedad. Al preparar 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.
SE NECESITAN UJIERES – Nuestra parroquia actualmente necesita más personas para ayudar en la Misa
como ujieres. Algunas de nuestras Misas tienen un complemento completo de 8, pero otras no. Este es un
apostolado muy sencillo pero muy necesario. Idealmente, me gustaría tener 2 equipos por cada Misa para que
puedan rotar y así se pueda compartir la carga. Si desea ayudar, envíeme un correo electrónico a: FrGonzalez@

ACTUALIZACIÓN DE UNIDOS EN MISIÓN – Como saben, hace un mes comenzamos la campaña anual
Unidos en Misión que ayuda a las parroquias y escuelas más pobres de la Arquidiócesis. De nuestra meta
de $82,018, hemos prometido hasta ahora aproximadamente $31,000. Esto es bueno, pero aún queda un
largo camino por recorrer para completar nuestro compromiso. Les insto a que consideran hacer hoy su
compromiso con esta campaña. Este año, en particular, es urgente debido a la pérdida de ingresos de estas
parroquias pobres debido al cierre de Covid 19 el año pasado.
Los sobres de compromiso están disponibles en las bancas y en el vestíbulo de la iglesia. También puede
hacerlo electrónicamente yendo a https://www.givecentral.org/togetherinmission21
Desde allí, seleccionaría St. Andrew Parish - Pasadena y luego seguiría las instrucciones.
Se puede amortizar en el transcurso de varios meses o todos a la vez. ¡Que Dios te recompense por tu
generosidad!
CABALLEROS DEL ALTAR – Como le anuncié anteriormente, estamos en el proceso de formar un nuevo
grupo de monaguillos llamado 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 que incluirá actividades sociales,
así como formación espiritual y doctrinal. Habrá una primera reunión informativa el viernes 23 de julio a las
6:00 p.m. en el Centro Pastoral Sala de San Patricio y patio. Todos nuestros monaguillos actuales en la escuela
secundaria y superiores están invitados. Si tiene un hijo en la escuela secundaria o en la universidad, anímelo
a que asista también, incluso si actualmente no es monaguillo.
También formaremos un grupo para señoritas, de secundaria y superiores, en los próximos meses. Este
grupo también se enfocará en la amistad, las actividades sociales y la formación espiritual y doctrinal. Más
información a seguir.
