The Baptism of the Lord January 9, 2022
Dear Parish Family,
A most Blessed Baptism of the Lord to you! The Baptism of Jesus Christ reminds us of our
Baptism; of how we are continuously invited to live our baptismal call as his followers, in faith, hope and
love or charity. We strive to live as disciples of our Savior this new year 2022, every year, all the days of
our lives. Just wanted to give you a recap of other parish Advent and pre-Christmas celebrations last
year, last month of December 2021.
December 12th, Third Sunday of Advent and Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, was a busy day,
starting with Las Mananitas at 6 in the morning inside the church – rosary in different languages, songs,
intercessions and prayers, blessings. The small congregation gathered for a breakfast of Mexican sweet
bread, pan dulce and conchas, as well as hot chocolate in the school lunch area after the service. Then
we continued to celebrate with a noontime Marian procession of the image of the Blessed Mother on
Ambrose Avenue, through Dracena Drive, into the school basketball courts and church parking lot, then
entering the main church doors on North Vermont Avenue. A number of our boys were dressed as St.
Juan Diego and the faithful were accompanied by a mariachi band along the procession route. The
beautiful bilingual Spanish and English Mass then started in the church. Afterwards, everyone enjoyed
Guatemalan tamales, courtesy of Guatemalteca Bakery and Restaurant (Santa Monica Blvd., near
Immaculate Heart of Mary Church) in an outdoor, take-out reception in our school lunch area.
The following weekend on December 18th, Saturday (Vigil of the Fourth Sunday of Advent) was
the parish Simbang Gabi Filipino Evening Mass at 5:30 PM. Our community celebrated the 500 years of
Christianity in the Philippines (1521-2021), from the time of the early evangelization of the country via
Spanish missionaries from Mexico until today. After the wonderful Eucharistic celebration, parishioners
were treated to a take-out reception with food containers filled with bao, Chinese barbecue pork buns
(from Family Pastry, Chinatown), banana rolls from United Bakery on Sunset, fruit cups and bottled
water distributed by members of the Filipino-American community in the Augustinian Saints’ Plaza
Courtyard area.
Then on December 19th, Fourth Sunday of Advent, the community celebrated the Posadas, a story
retelling the Holy Family’s search for an inn in Bethlehem. Some of our children from our 12 PM
Spanish Mass community were all dressed up as Joseph, Mary, innkeepers, shepherds, etc. The
costumes were courtesy of Our Mother of Good Counsel School. The route started from the school lunch
area to the Plaza Courtyard and into the church. Songs, a reading of Luke’s Gospel of this story, and
blessings were part of the service. Afterwards, the community enjoyed a take-out reception of pupusas,
Salvadoran stuffed tortillas from Guatemalteca Bakery, as well as pre-packaged Ziploc bags of assorted
holiday candies and chocolates for the children (rather than the pre-pandemic pinatas).
After almost a two-year hiatus, it was so good to celebrate these annual, Advent and pre-
Christmas multicultural celebrations once again. It was great to gather with our fellow parishioners
again, form community and celebrate the coming of the Messiah. December 2019 was the last time our
parish held these festivities. Much thanks to our Hispanic and Filipino communities for making these
celebrations possible. All these celebrations point us to Jesus Christ, Light of the World and Emmanuel,
which means ‘God is always with us.’
Yours in Christ & Mary, OMGC,
Fr. Alvin Paligutan, OSA

Querida Familia Parroquial,
¡Un Bendito Bautismo del Senor para ti! El Bautismo de Jesucristo nos recuerda nuestro
Bautismo; de como estamos continuamente invitados a vivir nuestra llamada bautismal como sus
seguidores, en la fe, la esperanza y el amor o la caridad. Nos esforzamos por vivir como discípulos de
nuestro Salvador este nuevo ano 2022, cada ano, todos los días de nuestra vida. Solo quería darle un
resumen de otras celebraciones parroquiales de Adviento y prenavidenas el ano pasado, el ultimo mes
de diciembre de 2021.
El 12 de Diciembre, tercer Domingo de Adviento y fiesta de Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe, fue un
día ajetreado, comenzando con Las Mananitas a las 6 de la manana dentro de la iglesia – rosario en
diferentes idiomas, cantos, intercesiones y oraciones, bendiciones. La pequena congregacion se reunio
para un desayuno de pan dulce mexicano, pan dulce y conchas, así como chocolate caliente en el area de
almuerzo escolar despues del servicio. Entonces continuamos celebrando con una procesion mariana al
mediodía de la imagen de la Santísima Madre en Ambrose Avenue, a traves de Dracena Drive, en las
canchas de baloncesto de la escuela y el estacionamiento de la iglesia, luego entrando por las puertas
principales de la iglesia en North Vermont Avenue. Varios de nuestros muchachos iban vestidos como
San Juan Diego y los fieles iban acompanados por una banda de mariachis a lo largo de la ruta
procesional. El hermosa misa bilingue en espanol e ingles que luego comenzo en la iglesia. Despues,
todos disfrutaron de tamales guatemaltecos, cortesía de Guatemalteca Bakery and Restaurant (Santa
Monica Blvd, cerca de la Iglesia del Inmaculado Corazon de María) en una recepcion al aire libre para
llevar en nuestra area de almuerzo escolar.
El siguiente fin de semana, el 18 de Diciembre, Sabado (Vigilia del Cuarto Domingo de Adviento)
fue la misa vespertina filipina de la parroquia Simbang Gabi a las 5:30 PM. Nuestra comunidad celebro
los 500 anos del cristianismo en Filipinas (1521-2021), desde el momento de la evangelizacion temprana
del país a traves de misioneros espanoles desde Mexico hasta hoy. Despues de la maravillosa celebracion
eucarística, los feligreses fueron agasajados con una recepcion para llevar con recipientes de comida
llenos de bao, bollos de cerdo a la barbacoa china (de Family Pastry, Chinatown), rollos de platano de
United Bakery on Sunset, tazas de frutas y agua embotellada distribuida por miembros de la comunidad
filipino-estadounidense en el area del Patio de la Plaza de los Santos Agustinos.
Luego, el 19 de Diciembre, cuarto Domingo de Adviento, la comunidad celebro las Posadas, una
historia que relata la busqueda de la Sagrada Familia de una posada en Belen. Algunos de nuestros hijos
de nuestra comunidad de misa espanola de las 12 PM estaban vestidos como Jose, María, posaderos,
pastores, etc. Los disfraces fueron cortesía de Our Mother of Good Counsel School. La ruta partio del
almuerzo escolar zona al Patio de la Plaza y a la iglesia. Las canciones, una lectura del Evangelio de Lucas
de esta historia y las bendiciones fueron parte del servicio. Despues, la comunidad disfruto de una
recepcion para llevar de pupusas, tortillas rellenas salvadorenas de Guatemalteca Bakery, así como
bolsas Ziploc preenvasadas de dulces navidenos y chocolates variados para los ninos (en lugar de las
pinatas prepandemicas).
Despues de casi un parentesis de dos anos, fue muy bueno celebrar estas celebraciones
multiculturales anuales, de Adviento y prenavidenas una vez mas. Fue genial reunirnos con nuestros
companeros feligreses de nuevo, formar comunidad y celebrar la venida del Mesías. Diciembre de 2019
fue la ultima vez que nuestra parroquia celebro estas festividades. Muchas gracias a nuestros hispanos y
filipinos comunidades para hacer posible estas celebraciones. Todas estas celebraciones nos senalan a
Jesucristo, Luz del Mundo y Emmanuel, que significa "Dios siempre esta con nosotros".
Tuyo en Cristo y María, OMGC,
