Estimados feligreses,
"Es divertido hablar de la cruz, hasta que empezamos a cargarla".
Estas palabras son del P. Benedicto XVI durante nuestra convocatoria de sacerdotes
hace unos años. Me hizo reflexionar sobre cómo llevo mis propias cruces mientras
vivo mi vida ministrando al pueblo de Dios. Me di cuenta de que existe el peligro de
que me pierda la realidad de lo difícil que es llevar la cruz. Como sacerdote, me he
encontrado con muchas personas que llevan diferentes cargas. Siempre les recuerdo
cómo somos uno con Cristo en Su sufrimiento cuando llevamos nuestras cruces.
Automáticamente me refiero a los sufrimientos por los que atraviesan las personas
como cruces que les ayudan en su camino hacia la santidad, y siento al Espíritu Santo
trabajando cuando veo signos de alivio y esperanza que comienzan a mostrarse en sus rostros. Pero lo que el
P. Benedicto XVI nos dijo durante nuestra convocatoria me recordó que como ser humano y seguidor de
Jesucristo, también tengo que cargar con mis propias cruces. Sus palabras me recordaron las cruces muy
reales que enfrento y necesito llevar ... y no, no es divertido llevarlas.
Creo que este es un buen recordatorio para todos nosotros. Hablar de las cargas y los desafíos diarios de
nuestra vida o hablar de nuestras cruces no es suficiente, ¡tenemos que llevarlos! Recordemos que somos
testigos de Jesucristo, no solo el Cristo resucitado, sino también el Cristo sufriente y moribundo. Ahora bien,
¿cómo afrontamos nuestras cruces? ¿Solo hablamos de ellos o los cargamos? No es divertido, pero llevémos-
las con esperanza, porque si en la fe somos uno con Jesús en Su sufrimiento, también seremos uno con Él en
Su resurrección.
En Cristo,
P. Maro.

Eucharistic Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament
Saint Peter Claver, Jesuit Priest, Spain, Patron of Black Missions (1580-1654) -
Feast Sept 9
Nourished and sustained by Jesus in the Holy Eucharist, and Mary’s intercession, this well-
educated Jesuit spent his life caring for black slaves in South America, vowing to be “the
slave of the blacks forever.” St. Peter baptized 40,000 black slaves and brought them God’s
healing love through Holy Communion. With loving patience he fed, clothed, and
ministered to the sick, reflecting God’s love. St. Peter is the patron of all missions to the
black people.
Rosary for Vocations - Come join us!
The monthly Rosary for Vocations FOR SEPTEMBER will be at 6pm on the 2nd Monday of the
month by the statue of Our Lady of Sorrows between the church and the parking strip on 8th
street. Don’t forget to bring back the prayer guide from last time.
Dear Parishioners,
"The cross is fun to talk about, until we start carrying it."
Those words are from Fr. Benedict during our priests convocation a few years ago. It
made me reflect on how I carry my own crosses as I live my life ministering to God's
people. I realized that there is a danger for me to miss the reality of how difficult
carrying one's cross really is. As a priest, I've met with so many individuals with
different burdens to carry. I always remind them of how we are one with Christ in His
suffering when we carry our crosses. I automatically refer to the sufferings that
individuals go through as crosses that help in their journey to sainthood, and I feel the
Holy Spirit working as I see signs of relief and hope start to show in their faces. But
what Fr. Benedict told us during our convocation reminded me that as a human being and a follower of Jesus
Christ, I have to carry my own crosses too. His words reminded me of the very real crosses that I face and
need to carry... and no, it is not fun to carry them.
I believe this is a good reminder for all of us. Talking about the burdens and the daily challenges of our lives
or talking about our crosses is not enough – we have to carry them! Let us remember that we are witnesses of
Jesus Christ – not just the resurrected Christ, but also the suffering and dying Christ. Now, how do we face
our crosses? Do we just talk about them or do we carry them? It is not fun, but let us carry them with hope –
because if in faith we are one with Jesus in His suffering, we will also be one with Him in His resurrection.
In Christ,
Fr. Maro.

Safe Haven Laws in Oregon (information courtesy of the Knights’ Oregon, That’s Life! newsletter)
Safe Haven Laws allow a parent to anonymously surrender their unharmed infant to a designated Safe Haven
provider within a specific time after birth. Each state has its own unique Safe Haven law. While each law has
similar components, the age and location restrictions differ per state.
The Oregon "A Safe Place for Newborns" law allows a birth parent (mother or father) to leave a
newborn infant at an authorized facility. As long as the baby is 30 days old or younger, is handed to
someone working there, and shows no signs of abuse, there will be no legal consequences for making this
choice. An “Authorized facility” is one of the following:
Hospital Doctor's Office Birthing Clinic
Police Station Sheriff Office Fire Department
No appointment is necessary to leave the baby. The individual leaving the child does not have to give identi-
fication, but will be offered a health information form for the child which may be filled out then or
later.
The authorized facilities required to notify the Department of Human Services of the abandoned infant with-
in 24 hours of receiving the child. The Department of Human Services is deemed to have protective custody
of the infant from the moment the infant was left at the facility. The child will be placed in foster care.
If the parent changes his or her mind about leaving the baby, the parent may seek custody in court. Ability to
seek custody will be limited to the time before the court makes a decision to end the parental rights.

REGISTRACIONES ABIERTAS PARA:
Las personas mayores de 18 años que les faltan
sacramentos de Bautismo, Confirmación y Comunión les
invitamos para que se registren, podemos ayudarles en
este proceso que llamamos Rito de iniciación cristiana
para adultos (RICA).
Durante el proceso se le ayudara a discernir si aun no esta listo
para recibir este sacramento.
Este proceso es un modelo de la antigua practica de la Iglesia Catolica del Siglo Cuarto cuando
los Catecumenos, (aquellos que deseaban ser bautizados) viajaban a traves del proceso que los
llevaría a recibir al final los tres Sacramentos juntos.
Catecumeno: una persona que necesita los tres Sacramentos de Iniciacion: Bautizo,
Confirmacion, y Eucaristía.
• Candidato para Confirmación y Eucaristía: una persona ya bautizada en la Iglesia Catolica
o una Iglesia de otra denominacion y quiere ser aceptado dentro de la Iglesia Catolica y
recibir Confirmacion y Eucaristía.
• Candidato solo para Confirmación: una persona ya bautizada y que haya recibido la
Eucaristía, pero necesita completar el Sacramento de Confirmacion para completar su
Iniciacion.
• Candidato solo para Comunión: una persona ya bautizada que ha recibido Confirmacion,
pero que nunca completo el proceso de recibir la Sagrada Comunion.
• Le damos la bienvenida a estas personas.

Esposo de la Santísima Virgen María. Obtenga para nosotros gracia,
A vosotros Dios os confió a su Hijo único; misericordia y valor,
en ti María depositó su confianza; y defiéndenos de todo mal. Amén.
contigo Cristo se hizo hombre.
Excerpt from Archbishop’s 8/30/21 statement
(See full statement at https://archdpdx.org/news/statement-on-oregon-mandates-210830 )
“No letters can be written by priests or other Church officials to support an individual’s request for religious
exemption. This is because the matter is strictly between the employee and the employer. Also, no Church
official can state that receiving the vaccination is contrary to the moral teachings of the Church, given the
moral guidance provided by the Church as referenced above.
Individuals can be directed to use National Catholic Bioethics Center materials as a reference to craft their
own letters of conscientious objection.“
