OLL Youth Ministry Golf Tournament Sponsors WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT
Dear Friends, This is a time of transition. We are moving from Summer to Fall. Baseball is moving to the playoffs (Go Giants!) and Football Season is right around the corner (Go 9ers!). School has started up and our students, for the most part, are happy to be back in school (and so are our parents!). I love the change of the seasons as we
move from the heat of Summer to the coolness of Fall. As you can see, we have been very busy around here this Summer. We have a new floor and a new kitchen in the Hall, as well as a new turf field for the school. Even though these projects are just about fin-ished, I appreciate your patience in not using the Hall or Field. Some other projects that will be happening his school year are two more stained glass windows that will be put into our church. (a very generous parishioner is donating these windows; thank you from the bottom of my heart!), a new air conditioner for the church, and we will be doing some more gardening around the parish plant. None of these projects would be possible without your generous support. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart! Remember the new Sunday Mass Schedule begins November 29th, the First Sunday of Advent.
New Mass Times
Saturday (Vigil) 5pm English, 7pm Spanish Sunday: 8am and 10am in English, 12 Noon in Spanish.

A Note from a Grateful Parishioner Dear Fr. Brian and OLL Parish, Thank you so much for the amazing gift of a school scholarship for our child for the 2015-16 school year. This school and parish has truly been an amazing place for us to raise our wonderful children in the presence of God and to be witness to the work of Jesus among us. We feel so blessed, as our dream is to provide Catholic Education, stewardship and service how ever we can and you have made that possible for the coming school year. We thank you deeply and please call on us for any service as we want to become more involved with the Parish.

Queridos amigos, Este es un tiempo de transición. Nos estamos moviendo de verano a otoño. Béisbol está moviendo a los playoffs (Go Giants!) Y la estación de fútbol está a la vuelta de la esquina (Ir 9ers!). School ha puesto en marcha y nuestros estudiantes, en su mayoría, están felices de estar de vuelta en la escuela (y también lo son nuestros padres!). Me encanta el cambio de las estaciones a medida que avanzamos por el calor del verano a la frescura del otoño. Como puedes ver, hemos estado muy ocupados por aquí este verano. Tenemos un nuevo piso y una nueva cocina en el Salón, así como un nuevo campo de césped para la escuela. A pesar de que estos proyectos están a punto de terminar, agradezco su paciencia en no usar el Hall o campo. Algunos otros proyectos que se irán sucediendo a su año escolar son otras dos vidrieras que se pondrán a nuestra iglesia. Un muy generoso feligrés está donando estas ventanas. Gracias desde el fondo de mi corazón !, un nuevo aire acondicionado para la iglesia, y que vamos a hacer un poco más de la jardinería alrededor de la planta de la parroquia. Ninguno de estos proyectos sería posible sin el generoso apoyo. Una vez más, muchas gracias desde el fondo de mi corazón! Recuerde el nuevo Horario de Misas Domingo comienza 29 de noviembre, el Primer Domingo de Adviento. Nueva Misa Tiempos Sábado (Vigilia) 17:00 Inglés, Español 19:00 Domingo: 8 am y las 10 de Inglés, 12 del mediodía en español. Happy Labor Day!! Father Brian
NO TEMAN En estos tiempos, hay muchas razones para te-mer, con tan sólo mirar a nuestro alrededor. Tal pa-rece que cada día los medios de comunicación tienen más malas noticias que anunciar: guerras, enferme-dades, terrorismo, sequía, disturbios sociales, y mu-cho más. Algunas personas han dejado de usar los radios despertadores prefiriendo ser despertados por la sacudida de la alarma chillona y no de las malas noticias matutinas. ¿Qué más necesitamos para dar-nos cuenta de que somos criaturas limitadas, y aun-que hay mucho que podemos hacer para mejorar nuestro mundo, en última instancia hay mucho que simplemente no está a nuestro alcance? Para esto, nuestro amoroso Dios nos dice: “¡Ánimo! No te-man.” Debemos hacer todo lo que esté a nuestro alcan-ce para hacer de nuestro mundo un lugar mejor y más seguro, pero también debemos reconocer nues-tros límites y que nuestra seguridad absoluta está en manos de Dios. Nos puede servir de consuelo la rea-lización de que Dios nos ama sin medida, y nos dará toda la ayuda necesaria para hacer de nuestro mundo un lugar acogedor y seguro para todos.
LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — Díganles a los que están asustados: Calma, no tengan miedo (Isaías 35:4-7a). Salmo — Alaba, alma mía, al Señor (Salmo 146 [145]). Segunda lectura — Dios ha escogido a los pobres de este mundo para hacerlos ricos en la fe (Santiago 2:1-5). Evangelio — Jesús curó a un sordo que hablaba con dificultad. “Ábrete” (Marcos 7:31-37).
TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE El Rito del Bautismo contiene varios elementos simbóli-cos que merecen nuestra atención. El agua, por ejemplo, es un elemento de doble significado. Es símbolo de vida y pu-reza. Además, la misma agua que es símbolo de vida, tam-bién puede traer la muerte. En el Rito del Bautismo el agua da muerte a nuestro viejo ser para hacernos renacer a la vida abundante que nos promete el Señor. Una vez renacidos se nos recuerda que nos hemos reves-tido de Cristo (las vestiduras blancas), que Dios nos ha ilu-minado (la vela) y nos ha ungido (seleccionado) con el cris-ma, óleo perfumado con que se consagraban los reyes, pro-fetas y sacerdotes en tiempos bíblicos. Todos estos símbolos son bellos, pero a mi parecer, el más bello es el de Efata, que en griego significa ábrete. El ministro bendice los oídos del bautizado para que se abran a la Palabra de Dios y le bendice también la boca para que proclame no sólo alabanzas a Dios, sino para que sea un pre-gonero de su palabra. El cristiano debe ser una persona aten-ta a la voz de Dios para poder servirlo y proclamarlo al próji-mo.
JUICIO Juzgar a otro es usurpar descaradamente una prerro-gativa de Dios. —San Juan Clímaco
