I am Martin Cain, your new Parochial Vicar! I am delighted to be here, and look forward to getting to know you all better. I have followed a long road of Catholic ministry and higher education to get here! Originally, I am from Washington State. I grew up in the city of Spokane in eastern Washington, but spent several years as a young adult living and working in Seattle and elsewhere in the western half of the state. I’ve lived in many different parts of the country, having gone to college in Boston, and to graduate school in Chicago and Minnesota (so it’s nice to be down here where it is a little warmer this time of year!). For the few years prior to deciding to become a priest, I taught theology and religious studies at several Catholic colleges and universities, most recently at Gonzaga University in my home town of Spokane. Eventually, I felt the Lord calling me to do something more, to follow him more nearly, and so, over time, I came to discern a vocation to diocesan ministry, which brought me down here to the Diocese of Monterey. As I had completed all the education a seminarian would usually complete prior to coming to the Central Coast, upon my acceptance into seminary formation for this diocese, Bishop Rich Garcia asked me not to attend a traditional seminary environment, but simply to work for a few years in pastoral assignment. And so, over the last two-and-a-half years, I have had the pleasure to work at Old Mission Church in San Luis Obispo, at Carmel Mission, and most recently at St. Theodore’s Parish just down the road in Gonzales. Just recently ordained (back on November 30 th , with one other man, Robbie Sullivan), Sacred Heart will be my first full-time pastoral assignment as a priest. I so look forward to expending my time and energy with you all in the months and (hopefully) years to come. I can’t wait to get to know you all better. Please keep me in prayer, and I will do likewise for you. God’s Blessings to you all! Martin J. Cain Querida comunidad del Sagrado Corazón, Hola y saludos, Soy el nuevo Vicario Parroquial me llamo Martín Caín, estoy encantado de estar aquí y espero conocerlos a todos. He seguido un camino largo en el ministerio católico y una educación más avanzada para llegar aquí! Soy originario del Estado de Washington, pero fui creado en la ciudad de Spokane el Este de Washington, pase algunos años como joven adulto viviendo y trabajando en Seattle y otros lugares en el Oeste del Estado. He vivido en diferentes lugares del país, estudie en Boston y me gradué de la universidad de Chicago y Minnesota. (Es bueno estar aquí donde el clima es más cálido durante este tiempo del año. Por algunos años antes de decidir ser un sacerdote, enseñe Teología y estudios religiosos en varios colegios Católicos y universidades, el más reciente fue la universidad de Gonzaga en mi pueblo natal de Spokane. Eventualmente, sentí el llamado de Dios de hacer algo mas, ha seguirlo aun mas y pasando el tiempo, llegue a un discernimiento a una vocación del ministerio diocesano, que fue el que me trajo a la Diócesis de Monterey. Completado la educación que un seminarista termina antes de venir a la Costa Central, y se ser aceptado en la formación de seminaristas de la Diócesis, el Obispo Ricardo García me pidió que no asistiera a un seminario con ambiente tradicional, pero que trabajara en asignaciones pastorales. Los pasados dos años y medio he tenido el placer de trabajar en la Misión de San Luís Obispo, en la Misión de Carmel y más reciente en la parroquia de San Teodoro en Gonzales. Recientemente ordenado (noviembre 30 del 2013 junto a Robbie Sullivan), El Sagrado Corazón será mi primer cargo como sacerdote, de tiempo completo. Tengo muchas ganas de emplear mi tiempo y energía con todos ustedes el tiempo que este asignado a esta Parroquia. Estoy ansioso de poder conocerlos a todos ustedes mejor. Favor de mantenerme en sus oraciones que yo haré los mismo. Que Dios los bendiga a todos! Martín J. Caín

EDUCATION BILLS SUPPORT SCHOOL CHILDREN MOST IN NEED, PARENTS & NEW TEACHERS - Many Catholic Legislative Network members have already voiced their support for two major tax policy proposals addressing K-12 education needs of public and private school children, which will be heard next week in committee. Thank you for your advocacy. There is still time to take action. AB 943 and SB 693 are measures that would create tax incentives or relief to inspire greater charitable contributions to expand local resources in K-12 education, and that empower parents as well as teachers to care for their own school children's learning needs. AB 943 (Nestande, R-Palm Desert) would encourage charitable contributions to help close the achievement gap among children from low-income families with expanded opportunities for science and arts education. In addition this bill would expand philanthropic investments, which increase the accessibility and viability of learning environments that best support students with special needs to learn and thrive. It would also stabilize school communities for foster youth, which will help them perform better academically and complete more years of education. SB 693 (Correa, D-Santa Ana) would assist low- and middle-income parents in paying for K-12 school costs (textbooks, supplies, tuition) and assure vital educational services beyond the formal school day, such as diagnostic evaluations and out-of-school time academic programs. This bill would also help new teachers with their personal out-out-pocket expenses of instructional materials and classroom supplies used to educate the children entrusted to their care. For more information, please go to cacatholic.org.

SACRED HEART ALTAR SOCIETY– New members are always welcome. We meet on the first Tuesday of the month at 1pm in the Parish Center, Sacred Heart Room. Hope to see you there.

New Evangelization: CATHOLIC RADIO 1200AM - Pope John Paul II first coined the term “New Evangelization” in 1983 in his encyclical, Redemptoris Missio to refer to those Catholics, who do not attend church regularly. A 2012 Pew Research poll reported that of the approximately 75 million Catholics in the US, only 18 million (24%) attend Mass every Sunday. This leaves 57 million that need to be reached through the New Evan-gelization. SO HOW DO WE REACH THEM ALL? If you have listened to Catholic Radio, you have heard many listeners call in with their testimony of how Catholic Ra-dio has helped them return to the Church. Catholic Radio is committed to reach all Catholics whether or not they are active in the church. In order to make people aware that 1200AM even exists, we need your help by the use of “window/bumper stickers” that have been updated to be more readable and colorful. They now read “Catholic Radio 1200 AM Monterey – Faith, Hope and Love”. They are available at the vestibule of the church. If you are moved to answer Pope John Paul II’s call to the New Evangelization please take a sticker and do your part to evangelize the fallen away Catholics in our area.

CURSILLO - The Cursillo Movement of the Monterey Diocese will be hosting an Ultreya on Saturday, February 8th at St. Theodore's in Gonzales. The Ultreya will begin at 7:00 p.m. and will be held in the parish hall. All are welcome to attend. Please join us for fun, food and fellowship. If you have not made a Cursillo but would like more information please join us on Feb. 8th or call your Cursillo Parish Representative or you can also call Cindy Stefani at (831) 578-1995. Hope to see you there. DeColores!!!!!

MONTEREY DIOCESE MARRIAGE ENCOUNTER - The next Worldwide Marriage En-counter Weekend will be held on May 2-4, 2014, at the Saint Francis Retreat Center in San Juan Bautista, California. The second reading today says, “I urge you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree in what you say, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and in the same purpose.” Be united in your marriage. Attend an upcoming Worldwide Marriage Encounter Weekend on May 2-4, 2014, at the Saint Francis Retreat Center in San Juan Bautista, California. For more information call Mary Jo and Rich Castello, at 831-704-6322 ([email protected]) or register online at centralcawwme.org.

SUPPORT COMPREHESIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM - It is time to Bring Our Neighbors Out of the Shadows. As you may know, the United States Catholic Bishops have supported comprehensive immigration reform for many years. After years of little progress, Congress seems to be on the verge of making a breakthrough on this critical issue. Your voice on this matter can make a real difference in Washington D.C. The Senate has passed S. 744 - a comprehensive review of our immigration system. The House of Representatives are now engaged in fashioning their legislation. Please ask them to support comprehensive reform.
