Mission Statement
We, the people of St. Monica Catholic Church, are called through Baptism to celebrate the presence of Jesus Christ in Word and Sacrament. In becoming what we receive, we are sent in peace to glorify
the Lord by sharing our gifts in service to others and by inviting all into a deeper relationship with Christ. Inspired by our patroness, St. Monica, we pray that all may become children of heaven.

Dear Parishioners,
Saints Days this week: September 16th is the feast of Saint Cornelius, pope and
martyr, and Saint Cyprian, the first African bishop to be martyred. September
17th is the feast of St. Robert Bellarmine, bishop and doctor of the Church, who
was a brilliant Jesuit scholar. He was a key player in the Counter Reformation of
the Church and is the patron of catechists and catechumens. September 19th is
St. Januarius, bishop and martyr, who was thrown to the bears for his faith. He is
patron of Naples, Italy. September 20th is St. Andrew Kim Tae-gon, priest, and St.
Paul Chong Hasang, and companion martyrs, who gave their lives for their faith in
Korea. And finally, St. Matthew the Apostle and Evangelist is September 21st. He
is the patron of accountants and customs officers.
As we study the lives of the saints, they help us to realize we are all in need of
repentance. Our Lord continually invites us to come to our senses and come back
to His love, mercy, and forgiveness. Remember, the grace of God is abundant
through His Body, the Church! And we, members of the Body of Christ, can help
show the way back to Christ. Through our prayer, our sacrifice, our corporal and
spiritual works of mercy, and by frequenting the Sacrament of Penance we can be
examples in faith for others to follow as we struggle on the journey of conversion
toward Christ. Let us ask the intercession of the saints as we work our way back
to the Father.
Ember Days: In the old days back before the Second Vatican Council, the Church
used to set aside certain days of the year called Ember Days. These days were
built upon formerly pagan celebrations of the seasons as they happened near the
beginning of the Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall. Holy Mother the Church saw
a great opportunity to transform these pagan celebrations into opportunities to
give thanks to God for the blessings of rest, growth, recreation and harvest. Thus,
she set aside three days so that the faithful could have time for prayer, fasting,
and for spiritual renewal to coincide with the blessings of the season. This time of
the year, the Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday following the Exaltation of the Holy
Cross (Sept. 14th) were observed as Ember Days to end the season of Summer
and begin the season of Autumn, a time to give thanks to God for the first fruits of
the harvest. Even though Ember Days are not “official” days anymore, we might
remember to give thanks to God on the 18th, the 20th, and the 21st of this month
for all we have been able to harvest due to God’s mercy and benevolence.
In Christ,Fr. Guadagnoli, Pastor

del Cielo.

Vigésimo cuarto domingo del tiempo ordinario 15 de septiembre 2019
Del PastorEstimados feligreses,
Los Santos de esta semana: el 16 de septiembre es la fiesta de San Cornelio, papa
y mártir, y San Cipriano, el primer obispo africano en ser martirizado. El 17 de
septiembre es la fiesta de San Roberto Belarmino, obispo y doctor de la Iglesia,
que fue un brillante estudioso jesuita. Fue un jugador clave en la Contrarreforma
de la Iglesia y es el patrón de los catequistas y catecúmenos. El 19 de septiembre
San Januarius, obispo y mártir, quien fue arrojado a los osos por su fe. Patrón de
Nápoles, Italia. El 20 de septiembre San Andrés Kim Tae-gon, sacerdote y San Pablo
Chong Hasang, companeros mártires, quienes dieron sus vidas por su fe en Corea.
Y finalmente, San Mateo Apóstol Evangelista es el 21 de septiembre. Patrón de los
contadores y funcionarios de aduanas.
A medida que estudiamos la vida de los santos, nos ayudan a darnos cuenta de
que todos necesitamos arrepentimiento. Nuestro Senor nos invita continuamente a
volver a nuestros sentidos y volver a su amor, misericordia y perdón. ¡Recuerde, la
gracia de Dios es abundante a través de Su Cuerpo, la Iglesia! Y nosotros, miembros
del Cuerpo de Cristo, podemos ayudar a mostrar el camino de regreso a Cristo.
A través de nuestra oración, nuestro sacrificio, nuestras obras de misericordia
corporales y espirituales, y frecuentando el Sacramento de la Penitencia podemos
ser ejemplos en la fe para que otros los sigan mientras luchamos en el camino de
conversión hacia Cristo. Pidamos la intercesión de los santos mientras trabajamos
nuestro camino de regreso hacia Padre.
Ember Days: en los viejos tiempos anteriores al Concilio Vaticano II, la Iglesia
solía reservar ciertos días del ano llamados Ember Days. Estos días se basaron en
celebraciones paganas de las estaciones, ya que ocurrieron cerca del comienzo del
invierno, la primavera, el verano y el otono. La Santa Madre Iglesia vio una gran
oportunidad para transformar estas celebraciones paganas en oportunidades para
dar gracias a Dios por las bendiciones del descanso, el crecimiento, la recreación y
la cosecha. Por lo tanto, apartó tres días para que los fieles pudieran tener tiempo
para orar, ayunar y para que la renovación espiritual coincidiera con las bendiciones
de la temporada. En esta época del ano, el miércoles, viernes y sábado después
de la Exaltación de la Santa Cruz (14 de septiembre) se observaron como Ember
Days para terminar la temporada de verano y comenzar la temporada de otono, un
momento para dar gracias a Dios. por los primeros frutos de la cosecha. A pesar de
que Ember Days ya no son días “oficiales”, podríamos recordar dar gracias a Dios
los días 18, 20 y 21 de este mes por todo lo que hemos podido cosechar gracias a la
misericordia y benevolencia de Dios.
En Cristo,
Padre Guadagnoli
