PASTOR’S MESSAGE
Brothers and Sisters: One of the highlights of my ministry as a priest is the opportunity to interact with children. To me they are not only precious in every way but also help keep things in perspective, when I am lost or simply preoccu-pied with different things, their presence makes me think of God, especially Jesus's words, let the children come to me because they belong to the Kingdom. We are grateful to God for the gift of children here at St. John the Baptist. They make us feel like a young Church. Some of them wrote me this week. "Thank you, Father John for being here and baptize me when I was 5 and blessing crousafic”…”thank you Father John for planning funerals and many more important things”...”gracias por todo i bendecir a las personas que están enfermos”...”thank you for being the priest and leading the church and for teaching me at the church”...”thank you so much for duing what you do you are what kepps this Church going”...”thank you Father John you have teached me so much about god and Jesues and I am so grateful you have everyone at the church is so garteful You are our Father”…”thank you for being there for other people and being a
leader to people and making people comfortable for them to talk to you”...”we love you you make church a good place”...”thank you for my Baptize”...”thank you for all you do Father John I like how you are a leter”... As the only kids can express it. Let us all learn from them how to be grateful to God for his blessings on Thanksgiving Day. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you.
Blessings Father John Taosan
Hermanos y Hermanas:
Uno de los aspectos más destacados de mi ministerio como sacerdote es la oportunidad de interactuar con los niños. Para mí no solo son preciosos en todos los sentidos, sino que también ayudan a mantener las cosas en perspectiva, cuando estoy perdido o simplemente pre-ocupado por diferentes cosas, su presencia me hace pensar en Dios, especialmente en las palabras de Jesús, que los niños vengan a mí porque pertenecen al Reino. Estamos agradecidos con Dios por el regalo de los niños aquí en San Juan Bautista. Nos hacen sentir como una Iglesia joven. Algunos de ellos me escribieron esta semana. "Gracias Padre Juan por estar aquí y bautizarme cuando tenía 5 años y bendecir crousafic”…”gracias Padre John por planear funerales y muchas cosas más importantes”…”gracias por todo i vendecir a las personas que estan enfermos”…”gracias por ser el sacerdote y dirigir la iglesia y por enseñarme en la iglesia”…”muchas gracias por hacer lo que hacen ustedes son lo que mantiene esta Iglesia en marcha”…”gracias Padre John, me has enseñado mucho sobre Dios y Jesús y estoy muy agradecido de que todos en la iglesia sean tan agradecido Eres nuestro Padre”…”gracias por estar allí para otras personas y ser un líder para las personas y hacer que las personas se sientan cómodas para que ellos hablen contigo”…”te amamos haces de la iglesia un buen lugar”…”gracias por mi Bautizar”…”gracias por todo lo que haces Padre John Me gusta como eres un leter”...Como los únicos niños pueden expresarlo. Aprendamos todos de ellos cómo estar agradecidos con Dios por sus bendiciones en el Día de Acción de Gracias. Feliz Día de Acción de Gracias para todos ustedes.
Bendiciones Padre Juan Taosan

¿Te imaginas lo que podría pasar si todos los que quieren el fin del aborto se unieran? ¿Si cada creyente se comprometiera a orar y ayunar? ¿Y si nos organizamos dentro de nues-tras iglesias locales para que nuestras comunidades hicieran lo mismo? ¿Qué pasaría si decenas o cientos de MILLONES de es-tadounidenses oraran por el fin del aborto?
Únase a nosotros para una Hora de Gloria muy especial el 1 de diciembre a las 6:30 PM. arrodillarnos juntos en oración ante Nuestro Señor para salvar a los pequeños y sanar nuestros corazones como nación.
Con Dios todo es posible.

Impostor priest email/texting scams With the holidays approaching, there is an increase in reports of fraudulent email solicitations for
financial support, usually in the form of gift cards. These reports are coming from email accounts or text messages identifying as Archdioce-
san priests. To minimize fraudulent impact, pastors are encouraged to remind their membership that priests/churches would never make
such appeals to the parish community. Please notify the church office immediately if they receive any unfamiliar donation requests.
Estafas por correo electrónico / mensajes de texto de sacerdotes impostores Con la llegada de los dias festejos, hay un aumento en
los informes de solicitudes de apoyo financiero por correo electrónico fraudulentas, generalmente en forma de tarjetas de regalo. Estos
informes provienen de cuentas de correo electrónico o mensajes de texto que se identifican como sacerdotes Arquidiocesanos. Para
minimizar el impacto fraudulento, se anima a los pastores a recordar a sus miembros que los sacerdotes / iglesias nunca harían tales
llamadas a la comunidad parroquial. Notifiquen a la oficina de la iglesia de inmediato si reciben solicitudes de donación desconocidas.
Cardinal DiNardo has written a letter to the faithful regarding the upcoming Synod for dioceses around the world. A synod is a conversation about who and what we are and what our experiences are. And that’s what we’re going to try to do in some intelligent, methodical form in the
next few months. What comes out, interestingly enough, as the Holy Father has said, is that if we discern, genuinely discern, first starting at the
level of local churches, then getting larger and larger, we’ll find out God is speaking to His Church. The Lord Jesus is helping His Church to un-derstand His life and our life for the life of the world.
El Cardenal DiNardo ha escrito una carta a los fieles sobre el próximo Sínodo para las diócesis de todo el mundo. Un sínodo es una conversación sobre qué y quiénes somos y cuáles son nuestras experiencias. Y eso es lo que vamos a intentar hacer de forma inteligente y metódica
en los próximos meses. Pero lo que resulta bastante interesante, como ha dicho el Santo Padre, es que si discernimos, si discernimos genuinamente, primero comen-
zando a nivel de las iglesias locales y después haciéndolo más y más extenso, descubriremos que Dios le está hablando a Su Iglesia. El Señor Jesús está ayudando a Su Iglesia a comprender Su vida y nuestra vida por la vida del mundo.
