This morning as I was sitting in my office getting ready to write the
Ministry Corner I had an opportunity to speak with a few of the money
counters. It is amazing that these men and women, who count every
other week, do so many other worthwhile ministries as well. I think
what amazes me the most is that many of them do not realize that they
are such an important part of the ministerial life at Holy Rosary. I won-
der if you are one of them? Are you quietly doing things for Holy Ro-
sary that we do not know about? The gift of ministry is what makes
good parishes great. When someone comes knocking at the door look-
ing for assistance, we have the people involved in ministry that are
there to help them. If you are at Sunday Mass and need a seat, a bulle-
tin, directions to the rest room and more, we have the ministers in
place to help you. If you are teaching your children about ministry and
want them involved in helping others, we have ministries available
that you can join. Ministry opportunities are alive and well at Holy
Rosary. If you want to become involved, this is the time to do it!!!
I have spoken about transition the last few weeks and I have heard
from many that this Ministry Corner has helped them with their
thoughts and feelings. We are all smart enough to know that when
change occurs it takes time for people to accept and understand. As I
look back on Vatican II, (and I do understand that many parishioners
do not know what Vatican II was all about) major changes were occur-
ring in the church, and Catholics had one of two opinions. They were
happy or they were mad. They understood or they were confused.
They liked the new way or they wanted the old way back. This tends
to be true of many people in most transitions. We, as parishioners at
Holy Rosary, need to commit ourselves to sharing the best Holy Ro-
sary has with the Bishop and the new pastor. St. Paul wrote in his letter
Phil 3:14 “I continue my pursuit toward the goal, the prize of God’s
upward calling, in Christ Jesus.” In simpler language...keep your eye
on the prize. We probably haven’t completely identified the prize but
certainly part of it is to keep Holy Rosary a viable, caring, compassion-
ate parish as we know it to be.
As the new pastor settles in, much will be required of us. We will need
to be consistent so that clarity can be seen. We need to keep our minis-
tries intact, making sure that we acknowledge and affirm the achieve-
ments and progress of the people involved in them. We need to ritualize
our activities, when we can, so that the new pastor knows and under-
stands how important they are to the life of the parish. We need to keep
our lives in a positive, spiritual, uplifting direction. But we need to re-
member that we cannot compare the new with the old. With new peo-
ple come changes. We have to face these changes, knowing that this
change can and could bring a new look to our parish. Some of us may
resist, but it is only fair that we wait and see what happens. We need to
be fair to the new leadership and to the other parishioners. Most likely
we can safely assume that this new pastor is probably a bit apprehen-
sive as well. He will be following in the footsteps of 150 years of devot-
ed Dominicans. This will not be an easy task for him as well. He surely
has his own ideas for making something good even better.
We have to remember and acknowledge that change happens every
day in our personal lives. Our children grow up and leave home. Our
children get married and have their own families. Our parents gets sick
– Continued in next column
and die. And for the moment we grieve for what was and are a bit
afraid of what will come. Think about moving the furniture in your
home. We feel we need a change, so for some of us rearranging is
what we like to do. Do we think about the old blind dog who has
been our family pet for years? In the beginning he bumps into the
new furniture, but it doesn’t take long for him to become accustomed
to the changes. True of us as well. In the beginning of any transition
we might feel we are bumping into walls, but then we get accus-
tomed and within a short period of time we are going with the flow.
We need to continue to pray that the Bishop finds the best he can for
our parish. We are spoiled because of the good works of the Domini-
cans. It will be a huge transition for this new person as well. We need
to pray for him as well.
Our unsung hero this week is Darlene Silveira. She has been a long-
time parishioner and faithful minister to our parish. She has taught
CCD for many years and has challenged us to make the program
meaningful, educational, and spiritual for the students. She is also an
active member in the Portuguese community. I personally will never
forget the day of the Portuguese Festa many years ago when she
walked in the parade barefoot in the hot May sun. She is dedicated to
Holy Rosary, her Portuguese community, and has a special love for
the Lord and His mother. It is people like Darlene who make our
parish a great one!

A Message from Fr. Roberto
Parish theme for this year: Be Disciples. Make Disciples.
Liturgical Guidelines for our Lenten
Liturgies The Office of Worship for the Diocese of Oakland recently sent
all parishes some guidelines for the liturgies during the Lenten
Season. Some of these rules coincide with things we have al-
ways done at Holy Rosary, and others will require us to change
some of our customs. The following are quotes from these
guidelines. My notes and explanations are in blue font below.
Flowers and Music
“During Lent the altar should not be decorated with flowers, and
musical instruments may be played only to give necessary sup-
port to the singing. It would be advis-
able, however, to consider the pur-
pose rather than the strict letter of
this law, as certain musical pieces
may indeed foster the spirit of the
Lenten Season. On the Fourth Sun-
day of Lent (Laetare) and on Solem-
nities and Feasts, musical instruments
may be played and the altar decorated
with flowers. (cf. Ordo, 2018, p. 53)”
Ash Wednesday
“For Ash Wednesday, ‘Ashes to go’ – ‘Express Ashes’ – ‘Drive
-through Ashes’ and other practices that might increase a sense
of superstition or abuse are to be avoided.” It is because of this
directive that we can no longer give you ashes to take to your
loved ones.
Covering the Crucifix and Images
“In the Diocese of the United States, the practice of covering
crosses and images throughout the church from this Sunday may
be observed. Crosses remain covered until the end of the cele-
bration of the Lord’s Passion on Good Friday, but images re-
main covered until the beginning of the Easter Vigil.” (Roman
Missal, introduction to the Fifth Sunday of Lent)
Palm Sunday
“The Passion proclaimed on this day is essential to the liturgy
and cannot be omitted…The Proclamation of the Passion of the
Lord during Mass is not to be changed for a play or other type of
theatrical representation, which are more fitting before or after
Mass.” Because of this directive, we can no longer have our 4th
Grade Passion Play during the Mass in place of the reading of
the Passion as we have done for many years. The children may
perform their play before or after Mass or in another setting, but
not during Mass.
Holy Thursday
“In 2016, the Congregation for Divine Worship, following the
instructions of Pope Francis, issued a decree regarding the group
to whom the priest would wash their feet during the Holy Thurs-
day Mass.
“This group [the decree states] may consist of men and women,
and ideally of the young and the old, healthy and sick, clerics,
consecrated persons and lay people. As the intention is to bring
attention upon the new commandment of love (‘mandatum
novum’), it is also desirable that pastors will ‘instruct adequately
both the chosen faithful and others, so that they may participate
in the rite consciously, actively and fruitfully.’ Moreover, to
avoid any misunderstandings, we suggest the celebrants that, in
following this new directive, do not choose exactly 12 people,
but more than that or less than that, to make clear that the em-
phasis is now in the commandment of love, and not in the insti-
tution of the ordained ministers.”
The Diocese also made very clear in another email to me
that only the priest is to wash the feet of parishioners at that
Mass. Therefore, we will no longer be able to offer parishioners
the opportunity to wash each others’ hands or feet.
Good Friday
“In recent years some parishes have introduced the practice of
passing big crosses through or above the Congregation. Due to the
high risk of injury, regardless the size of the cross, this practice is
not to be done.” Once again, this is something we have done at
Holy Rosary for several years; however, we will no longer be able
to do it. Therefore, on Good Friday, we will have the traditional
form of the Veneration of the Cross where the congregation will
process forward and touch or kiss the cross at the altar.
I do not agree with all these guidelines, but we are required to
obey them. We will continue to celebrate our liturgies with ener-
gy and devotion.

Un Mensaje de P. Roberto
Lema parroquial para este año: Sean Discípulos. Hagan Discípulos.
Directrices Litúrgicas para Nuestras
Liturgias de Cuaresma La Oficina de Adoración de la Diócesis de Oakland recientemente
envió a todas las parroquias algunas directrices para las liturgias durante
la Temporada de Cuaresma. Algunas de estas reglas coinciden con
cosas que siempre hemos hecho en Holy Rosary, y otras requerirán que
cambiemos algunas de nuestras costumbres. Las siguientes son citas de
estas directrices. Mis notas y explicaciones están en letra azul a conti-
nuación.
Flores y Música
“Durante el Tiempo Cuaresmal, el
altar no debe ser decorado con
flores, y los instrumentos musica-
les deben utilizarse únicamente
para apoyar el canto. Sin embargo,
hay que considerar, más allá de la
letra de la ley, su espíritu, recono-
ciendo que ciertas piezas musicales
pueden ciertamente promover y
ayudar a celebrar apropiadamente
este tiempo litúrgico. En el cuarto
Domingo de Cuaresma (Laetare) y
en las Solemnidades y Fiestas, los instrumentos musicales pueden utili-
zarse y el altar puede estar decorado con flores. (cf. Ordo, 2018, p. 53)”
Miércoles de Ceniza
“Las prácticas de ‘Cenizas para llevar’ – ‘autoservicio de cenizas’ –
‘Cenizas en el auto’ y cualquier otra práctica que desvíe el verdadero
sentido de esta práctica, o que las pudieran convertir en un asunto de
superstición, deben ser evitadas a toda costa.” Es por esta directiva que
ya no podemos darle cenizas para llevar a sus seres queridos.
Cubrir el Crucifijo y las Imágenes
“En las Diócesis de los Estados Unidos, la práctica de cubrir las cruces
y las imágenes en la Iglesia a partir de este domingo, puede ser obser-
vada. Las cruces permanecerán cubiertas hasta el final de la celebración
de la Pasión del Señor el Viernes Santo, pero las imágenes permanece-
rán cubiertas hasta antes de iniciar la Vigilia Pascual.” (Misal Romano,
introducción al V Domingo de Cuaresma)
Domingo de Ramos
“La Pasión del Señor que se proclama en este día es esencial, y
no puede ser omitida. La proclamación de la Pasión del Señor
durante la Misa no debe cambiarse por ninguna obra teatral o
representación, que usualmente son más adecuadas antes o des-
pués de la celebración eucarística.” Debido a esta directiva, ya
no podemos tener la Obra de la Pasión de 4to Grado de nuestra
escuela durante la Misa en lugar de la lectura de la Pasión como
lo hemos hecho durante muchos años. Los niños pueden realizar
su obra antes o después de la Misa o en otro lugar, pero no du-
rante la Misa.
Jueves Santo
“En el año 2016, la Congregación para el Culto Divino, siguiendo las
instrucciones del Papa Francisco, decretó nuevas reglas sobre el grupo
de personas a quien el sacerdote puede lavar los pies durante la Misa de
la Cena del Señor el Jueves Santo.
“ ‘Este grupo (dice el decreto) puede estar constituido por hombres y
mujeres, e idealmente por jóvenes y adultos, sanos y enfermos, cléri-
gos, personas consagradas y laicos.’ Como la intención actual es la de
dirigir nuestra atención sobre el mandamiento nuevo (‘mandatum
novum’), también es deseable que los párrocos ‘instruyan adecuada-
mente tanto a los elegidos como al resto de los fieles, de manera que
puedan participar en el rito consciente, activa y fructuosamente.’ Ade-
más, para evitar malas interpretaciones, sugerimos que, al abrazar esta
nueva directiva, no se escojan exactamente 12 personas, sino un grupo
más pequeño o más grande, para hacer claro que el énfasis ahora está
en el mandamiento del amor, y no en la institución del sacerdocio.”
La Diócesis también me dejó muy claro en otro correo electrónico que
solo el sacerdote debe lavar los pies a los feligreses en esa Misa. Por lo
tanto, ya no podremos ofrecer a los feligreses la oportunidad de lavarse
las manos o los pies unos a otros.
Viernes Santo
“En años recientes se ha introducido en algunas parroquias la práctica
de pasar grandes cruces de mano en mano o sobre las cabezas de los
fieles. Debido al alto riesgo de lesiones que esta práctica conlleva, sin
importar el tamaño de la cruz, debe evitarse a toda costa.” Una vez
más, esto es algo que hemos hecho en Holy Rosary por varios años;
sin embargo, ya no podremos hacerlo. Por lo tanto, el Viernes Santo,
tendremos la forma tradicional de la Veneración de la Cruz, donde la
asamblea procesará hacia adelante y tocará o besará la cruz en el altar.
No estoy de acuerdo con todas estas pautas, pero estamos obligados a
obedecerlas. Continuaremos celebrando nuestras liturgias con energía
y devoción.
Ideas del Papa Francisco para Ayunar Durante la
Cuaresma
¿Te animas a ayunar en esta Cuaresma? Entonces…
Ayuna de palabras hirientes… y transmite palabras bondadosas.
Ayuna de descontentos… y llénate de gratitud.
Ayuna de enojos… y llénate de mansedumbre y de paciencia.
Ayuna de pesimismo… y llénate de esperanza y optimismo.
Ayuna de preocupaciones… y llénate de confianza en Dios.
Ayuna de quejarte… y llénate de las cosas sencillas de la vida.
Ayuna de presiones… y llénate de oración.
Ayuna de tristezas y amargura… y llénate de alegría el corazón
Ayuna de egoísmo… y llénate de compasión por los demás.
Ayuna de falta de perdón… y llénate de actitudes de reconciliación.
Ayuna de palabras… y llénate de silencio y de escuchar a los otros.
