Dear Brothers and Sisters, For the past couple of months, my fellow priests and I have been admin-istering the sacrament of Anointing of the Sick to you on a monthly ba-sis at the Church. This was a change that we implemented from the pre-vious practice of having it every Wednesday. Currently we are adminis-tering this sacrament every 1st Wednesday of the month during the 12:15 p.m. Mass. This decision was not based on any prejudice in relation to the sacrament and the desire of anyone who would like to receive it. Outside of the monthly scheduled time, a person who is ill may call me or any one of our priests who is available to receive this sacrament. If you or a loved one is at Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital and would like a priest to anoint you, please call the Parish Center to schedule. One thing to remember is that you do not need to wait until a loved one is about to die to receive the sacrament. It is always my prayer and fervent hope that as your pastor I am able to serve you through this ministry. God bless you all,

Fr. Ignacio

Queridos hermanos y hermanas: Por los pasados dos meses, mis compañeros sacerdotes y yo hemos es-tado administrando el sacramento de la unción de los enfermos a ustedes mensualmente en la Iglesia. Esto fue un cambio que implementamos en vez de la practica anterior de cada miércoles. En el presente administra-mos este sacramento cada 1er. miércoles del mes durante la misa de 12:15 p.m. Esta decisión no fue basada en ningún prejuicio relaciona-do al sacramento y el deseo de alguien que quisiera recibirlo, fuera del tiempo mensual programado, una persona que este enferma puede lla-marme a mi o a uno de nuestros sacerdotes la persona que este lista para recibir este sacramento. Si usted o algún ser amado esta en el hospital Salinas Valley Memorial y desea ser ungido por un sacerdote, por favor llame al centro parroquial. Algo para recordar es que usted no necesita esperar hasta que un ser querido esta por morir para recibir el sacramen-to. En mis oraciones y en mi ferviente esperanza esta el servirles como su pastor en este ministerio. Dios los bendiga a todos:

P. Ignacio

His passion and zeal will surely inspire you and transform you. All presentations are held at Palma’s Multi Purpose Building from 7-8 PM.

We are in need of more people to help! Please call Raquel Quezada at 442-1879 for more informa-tion or to volunteer.

HEARING AID These days the word “obedience” has come to mean surrendering control. The origi-nal Latin, obaudire, meant “to listen well.” Let’s face it, many of us have an uncon-scious aversion to others. We want to be around them, but not get too familiar. Is it true that committed relationships—in a marriage, family, or parish—limit us? God created us to reach our full potential only in communion with others. We begin by learning to repent and to obey. “Repent” in scripture translates the Greek metanoia, or “change one’s mind (or heart).” So repentance and obedience go hand in hand. We must “listen responsibly” to learn our limitations and strengths, and translate them into action. Wonderful, blessed things can happen when everyone listens and responds appropriately to what is asked of them. Truly, where God is there are no limits to what can be done in love for God’s glory and for the salvation of all humankind. Copyright © 2011, World Library Publications. All rights reserved.

Specifically, there have been eleven international WYDs in different locations throughout the world.
