STEWARDSHIP MOMENT

Third Sunday of Advent: Each of us has his or her own role to play in the coming of the kingdom of God. John the Baptist was called to be the herald of the Messiah, preparing the way of the Lord. To what is the Lord calling me?

CATHOLIC CHARITIES IMMIGRATION CHANGES AND WARNING

On November 20, the President announced a new pro-gram that will benefit over 4 million undocumented peo-ple nationwide and approximately 150,000 in San Diego and Imperial Counties. Catholic Charities, in partnership with the San Diego Organizing Project (SDOP), has worked for many years to enhance the life of immigrant families in our communities. On that day, we won a big victory! The two biggest changes are providing protection from deportation and a work permit for undocumented par-ents with a son or daughter who is a US Citizen or Legal Permanent Resident and the expansion of who is eligible for the same benefits under the program known as “Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals” (DACA). People will not be able to apply for several months, so it is very important that you do NOT give money to any-one who says he or she can help you now. In the coming weeks, Catholic Charities and SDOP will be holding free information sessions to help you understand this new opportunity, and next year when the government is pre-pared to accept applications, we will be available to help those eligible to apply for this program with competent, low-cost services.

CAMPAÑA ANUAL DE CANASTA DE ALIMENTOS PARA NAVIDAD DE ASUNTOS SOCIALES

Por favor, patrocina a una familia entera, o lo que puedas dar, para una generosa canasta de alimentos pa-ra Navidad por $40.00 por familia. La Canasta incluye todo lo necesario para una hermosa cena festiva. Tam-bién aceptamos cualquier donación de pavos, jamones y otras golosinas de la temporada y productos enlatados. Apreciamos enormemente que revises tus latas y elimi-nes todas aquellas que estén oxidadas o dañadas. Se aceptan también donaciones de juegues nuevos y sin envoltura. Si tu deseas patrocinar a una familia entera para una canasta de alimentos de Navidad y regalos de Navidad para los niños, por favor pónganse en contacto con Car-men Parra en Asuntos Sociales al 760-547-0708 para ob-tener más información. Las donaciones pueden ser en-tregadas directamente al Departamento de Asuntos So-ciales, de la Casa Loretto localizada enfrente del Salón San Francisco. Muchas gracias por su generosidad!

CARIDADES CATOLICAS CAMBIOS EN INMIGRACION Y ADVERTENCIA

El 20 de noviembre, el Presidente anunció un nuevo pro-grama que beneficiará a más de 4 millones de personas indocumentadas en todo el país y aproximadamente 150.000 en los contados de San Diego e Imperial. Caridades Católicas, en colaboración con el Proyecto Organizando de San Diego (SDOP), han trabajado durante muchos años pa-ra mejorar la vida de las familias inmigrantes en nuestras comunidades. En este día, ¡hemos ganado una gran victoria! Los dos cambios más importantes incluyen la protección contra la deportación y un permiso de trabajo para los pa-dres indocumentados con un hijo o una hija que es un ciu-dadano de los EEUU o residente legal permanente y la ex-pansión de quién es elegible para los mismos beneficios bajo el programa conocido como "Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals" (DACA). La gente no podrá aplicar durante varios meses, por lo que es muy importante que usted no dé dinero a ninguna persona que dice que él o ella puede ayudarle ahora. En las próximas semanas, Caridades Católicas y SDOP proveerán sesiones de información gratuitas para ayudarle a enten-der esta nueva oportunidad, y el próximo año cuando el gobierno inicie a aceptar solicitudes, estaremos a su dispo-sición para ayudar a las personas con derecho a solicitar este programa con servicios competentes y de bajo costo.

Envoltura para regalos de Navidad Domingo, 21 de diciembre, desde 8:00am hasta 3:00pm

Mientras que va a Misa, deje en el comedor sus regalos de

Navidad y nuestros jóvenes los envolverán por usted. Usted

puede traer su propio papel de regalo y lazos, o puede elegir de

nuestra selección. Todas las donaciones son muy apreciadas.

Para más información, llame a Natalie Ibarra al 760-547-0702
