With appreciation from Annunciation Conference of

Society of St. Vincent de Paul

With the completion of its fiscal year on 9/30/16, the St. Vincent de Paul Conference at Annunciation takes this opportunity to pass on the heartfelt THANKS from those in need, to you who have supported SVdP efforts by your donations, involvement and prayers. Through this ministry, we are following in His footsteps by reaching out to help feed, house, and care for those in need. The summary of our efforts for our fiscal year include:

**Spending kept low by parish/school donations and membership at North Alabama Food Bank. Actual value of food distributed is $12,496.23

During this period, Annunciation’s SVdP added a weekly food distribution hour in May and earned its aggregation as a recognized conference in the international organization. The lives touched, the differences made, and the evangelizing that happened were made possible, in part, by you. Thank you for your generosity.

Interested volunteers are always welcome to visit our weekly meetings on Wednesdays at 4:30 in the Small Nursery or call Anne Werling at (256) 654-2124.

The "fetus"-----human life or not?

As pro-lifers, we need to educate ourselves and have answers to pro-choice arguments and

rhetoric. Over the next few weeks, we will highlight the typical pro-choice claims and we will arm you

with good and accurate information to refute their misleading and false arguments.

For many years, their most significant and basic argument has been that the so-called fetus is not a

human life; it's just a simple mass of tissue or part of the pregnant woman's body. They also claim

that the question of when human life begins is uncertain and a religious issue.

However, medical textbooks and scientific reference works consistently agree that life begins at

conception, when a genetically distinct individual is brought into existence. Some of the world's most

prominent scientists and physicians testified to a U.S. Senate committee that human life begins at

conception. At these same hearings, pro-abortionists, though invited to do so, failed to produce even

a single expert witness who would testify that life begins at any point other than conception.

From the moment of conception, the unborn fetus is not simple, but very complex. The newly

fertilized egg contains a staggering amount of genetic information, sufficient to control the

individual's growth and development for an entire lifetime. The key word is development. Like a

toddler or adolescent, the term fetus does not refer to "non-humans", but to humans at a particular

stage of development. It is scientifically inaccurate and untrue to say a fetus is not a human being

simply because he or she is at an earlier stage of development than an infant.

Being inside something is not the same as being part of something. The mother and the unborn

child are two separate individuals and half the time, they are not even the same sex! The child has

its own DNA, fingerprints and blood type, distinct from the mother's. The unborn child even takes an

active role in his or her own development, even controlling the course of the pregnancy and the time

of birth.

El Feto, ¿vida humana o no?

Como impulsores del movimiento pro-vida, necesitamos educarnos y tener respuestas a argumentos y situaciones retóricas pro-Elección.

Sobre el curso de las próximas semanas; revisaremos los reclamos típicos pro-elección a fin de prepararle a usted con información buena y precisa para refutar argumentos falsos o engañosos.

Durante muchos años, el argumento mas básico y significativo, ha sido que el llamado feto no es considerado una vida humana; es un simple pedazo de tejido, o parte del cuerpo de la mujer embarazada.

Tambien reclaman que la consideración de cuando inicia la vida humana es incierta y de carácter religioso.

Sin embargo, referencias médicas y científicas coinciden de manera consistente en que la vida inicia al momento de la concepción, cuando un individuo geneticamente distinto empieza a existir.

Algunos de los más prominentes médicos y científicos alrededor del mundo testificaron ante un comité del senado de Estados Unidos que la vida humana inicia en la concepción.

En estas mismas audiencias, se invitó a los promotores del aborto a presentar expertos que testificaran que la vida inicia en cualquier otro punto que no sea la concepción; sin embargo, no presentaron ni un solo experto que pudiera validar esta posición.

Desde el momento de la concepción, el feto aún no nacido, no es simple, sino muy complejo.

El huevo apenas fertilizado contiene una asombrosa cantidad de información genética, suficiente para controlar el crecimiento y desarrollo del individuo durante toda su vida.

La palabra clave es: desarrollo.

Asi como nos referimos a los niños pequeños o adolescentes; el término feto, no se refiere a “no-humanos” si no a los humanos en una estapa particular de desarrollo.

Es falso, y científicamente incorrecto el decir que un feto no es humano simplemente porque se encuentra en una etapa mas temprana de desarrollo que un infante.

Estar dentro de algo, no es lo mismo que ser parte de algo. La madre y el niño aún no nacido son dos individuos separados y la mitad de los casos, de diferente sexo. El niño (a) tiene su propio ADN, huellas dactilares y tipo de sangre, distintos al de la madre.

El niño (a) aún no nacido incluso toma un rol activo en su propio desarrollo, incluso controlando el curso del embarazo y la hora del nacimiento.

SCRIP cards are regular gift cards, just like the ones you can buy at the store, but you help St. Ann School when you purchase them at the SCRIP table after each Mass or in the Parish Office during the week. St. Ann School is able to buy the cards at varying merchant discounts and then sell them to you at face value. Some cards earn as high as 18% return for the school. We carry many major retailers, restaurants, groceries and gas. For a complete list of merchants we can order from, see: www.shopwithscrip.com and scroll to the bottom for a complete retailer list. We can order any of the cards listed. Thank you for supporting our school.

Ministerio especial, Caritas.

Por favor donen leche en polvo y comida para

bebés. Lleve sus donaciones a la oficina de la

Parroquia, en nuestra comunidad tenemos mucha

gente necesitada y tan pronto lo recibimos se nos

termina y a veces no podemos ayudar a algunas

familias, en dificultades económicas.

La Iglesia ayuda a los necesitados. Nosotros somos

la Iglesia. Que Dios les bendiga por compartir sus

dones con su prójimo.

Para celebrar sus 15 años, necesita: 1. Haber recibido el sacramento de la confirmación. 2. Haber asistido a cuatro pláticas pre-quinceañerales

que dará la Hermana Teresa después de la misa de la una y media, los 4 domingos enero 22 y 29, y febrero 5 y 12. Las que quieran celebrar su quinceañera también deben de asistir a las clases

de doctrina para jóvenes los domingos. 3. Hablar con el padre o el diácono para fijar la fecha;

no haga planes hasta tener la fecha fijada.

4. Un mes antes de la quinceañera hagan el favor de entregar $200.00 en la oficina de la parroquia a la secretaria, Anne Palmer. Esta cantidad es para ayudar con los gastos de mantener el edificio.

5. Si usted quiere el coro en su celebración, hablar

con ellos para ver si están disponibles. 6. Confesarse antes de su celebración.

Para recibir el Sacramento del Matrimonio: 1. Entrevista 6 meses antes de la boda con el

Ministro de la Iglesia que los va a casar (el Sacerdote o Diácono) para cumplir la investigación pre-nupcial.

2. Hablar con el Ministro para escoger la fecha de boda.

3. Si se consideran por Católicos, la novia y el novio deben tener el Sacramento de Bautizo. Lo ideal es que tengan también los Sacramentos de 1ª Comunión, y Confirmación. (Si están viviendo juntos en unión libre o casados por el civil la situación cambia y deben hablar con el Padre para saber lo que necesitan para casarse).

4. No haber estado casado/a por la Iglesia previamente; o una copia de la anulación del Matrimonio; o un certificado de muerte de su esposo/esposa.

5. Asistir a una plática pre-matrimonial. 6. Acta de Bautizo reciente, no la que tienen

guardada. (Por lo menos 3 meses antes de la Boda) Mandar traerla a su País de origen.

7. Licencia de Matrimonio o copia del acta de matrimonio civil. En cualquier corte de un Condado de Alabama les dan la Licencia. Pagando lo que está estipulado por el Estado. Para obtener su licencia de Matrimonio necesitan llevar Identificaciones, tales como Pasaporte, licencia de manejar, acta de nacimiento, etc.

8. Un mes antes de la boda hagan el favor de entregar $200.00 en la oficina de la parroquia a la secretaria, Anne Palmer. Esta cantidad es para ayudar con los gastos de mantener el edificio.
