FORMACION DE LA FE PRIMARIA "Es por eso que, una vez que escuché acerca de su fe en el Señor Jesús, y su amor por todas las personas santas de Dios, nunca he dejado de agradecer a Dios por ustedes y recordarlos en mis ora-ciones". Efesios 1: 15-16. Gracias a nuestro sobresaliente equipo de Catequistas: Kerri Arn-zen, Connie Barrera, Norma Bravo, Neifi Chacón, Guillermina Cruz, Claire Gallagher, Ana Guevara, Dora Guerrero, Corinna Her-nández, Malina Hess, Alicia Huapeo, Karla Morales, Arcelia Pe-layo, Adrián Tapia, Sherry Wurdinger. Nuestras clases de Wed estuvieron llenas del amor y la alegría de Dios gracias a su tiempo generoso dado a nuestros niños de la parroquia. También tuvimos la ayuda de dos seminaristas fenomenales: Kevin Clark de la Diócesis de Honolulu, Hawaii y Justin Echevarria de nuestra Arquidiócesis de Portland. Por favor manténganlos en sus oraciones mientras continúan discerniendo su vocación al sacerdo-cio. Estamos agradecidos con nuestro Señor por enviarnos dos bellas hermanas de México para ayudar con nuestro ministerio hispano: la hermana Blanca y la hermana María. Gracias a ustedes los padres que apoyaron nuestro programa y sus hijos al ser los buenos ejemplos de fe que nuestro Señor los llama a ser. Gracias a: Las Hijas Católicas por los hermosos Rosarios entrega-dos a los Primeros Comunicantes y los Caballeros de Colón por su presencia especial ofrecida en cada una de nuestras Misas de Pri-mera Comunión. También, a la Escuela del Sagrado Corazón: la Sra. Ries y la Srta. Adams, por trabajar en colaboración con no-sotros para tener una hermosa Misa para nuestros estudiantes. ¡Gracias a nuestro Buen Pastor, Padre Chrispine, por su presencia en nuestras clases y por administrar los Sacramentos a su rebaño en el amor de Cristo!

SEXTO DOMINGO DE PASCUA Hechos 10:25-26, 34-35, 44-48, 1 Juan 4:7-10

Juan 15:9-17 Breve Reflexión: Seguir los mandamientos del Señor trae vida y alegría. Los mandamientos del Señor no son restrictivos ni limi-tantes, sino que son el camino hacia nuestra realiza-ción en esta vida y la próxima. Podemos amar y ser amados por nuestro Creador siguiendo sus manda-mientos.

Ministros Extraordinarios de la Sagrada Comunión: comisionaremos a todos los EMHC en todas las Misas los días 2 y 3 de junio. Habrá una capacitación arquidi-ocesana en St Mary's en Mt Angel, el 25 de mayo de 6:30 a 8:30 pm. Los nombres mencionados en la pagina anterior son los EMHC oficiales. Se le solicita que asista a la capaci-tación arquidiocesana en St Mary's en Mt Angel el 25 de mayo de 2018. Si su nombre no está en la lista y usted está interesado en ser un ministro activo de la Parroquia, envíe un correo electrónico al Padre Chrispine y él planificara un entrenamiento y una puesta en servicio para usted.

Nueva norma litúrgica: Arrodillarse después de Agnus Dei Queridos feligreses, es posible que ya hayan leído en El Centinela Católico sobre las próximas Normas Litúrgicas Arquidiocesanas. Una de las nuevas normas es arrodillarse después de Agnus Dei (Cordero de Di-os). Esto ya es una práctica común en la mayoría de las diócesis en los Estados Unidos y en todo el mundo. Nos arrodillamos detrás de Agnus Dei en adoración y reverencia antes de levantarnos para ir a recibir a Jesús en la Eucaristía. Por lo tanto, se nos pide a todos que nos arrodillemos al final de cantar o recitar el Cordero de Dios hasta que el sacerdote esté listo para comenzar a distribuir la comunión. En ese momento, nos levan-taremos y nos alinearemos para recibir la comunión reverentemente. Si no puede arrodillarse debido a una enfermedad o razón justificable, amablemente per-manezca sentado pero no se ponga de pie ya que puede impedir la visión de los demás. Esta norma de arrodil-larse será oficial en toda la Arquidiócesis el 3 de junio de 2018 (Corpus Christi). 4º domingo de Pascua. Am-ablemente lea el Centinela Católico para más infor-mación sobre esto. Gracias y que Dios te bendiga. P. Chrispine Otieno

Domingo 6 de mayo, 11 am-3 pm Cena de Pollo y Ven-ta de Flores (todos estu-diantes de middle school y high school deben ayudar)

Necesario: un coordinador o voluntario (s) para arreglar flores para la Iglesia del Sagrado Corazón cada fin de semana, comenzando de nuevo ahora! Tal vez los equipos de arreglos florales podrían rotar cada mes para aligerar el compromiso. Los recibos por compras de flores serán reembolsados de acuerdo con el presupuesto. Si está interesado, llame a Marianne Branaman al 503-508-0451. Agrade-cemos a Barbara Smith por ayudarnos durante la Navidad y la Pas-cua y por sus muchos años suministrando hermosos arreglos a la Iglesia del Sagrado Corazón.

We are grateful to our Lord for sending us two beautiful sisters from Mexico to help with our Hispanic Ministry: Sister Blanca and Sister Maria.

The month of May is a special time to honor Mary, our Blessed Mother.

We honor Mary in our prayers and devotions to her, especially in our recitation of the Holy Rosary.

"... for the more she is honored, the greater is the glory of her Son. There can be no doubt that whatever we say in praise of the Mother gives equal praise to the

Son." -St. Bernard of Clairvaux, Father and Doctor of the Church

MARRIED COUPLES In the second reading today, John encourages us to love one another in deed and truth not in speech only. Do you show your spouse that you truly love them, not just say it? Love your spouse in deed by giving the gift of yourself; make the time to attend the next Worldwide Marriage Encounter weekend on May 25th - 27th at Our Lady of Peace Retreat House. For more information call 503-853-2758 or apply on-line at www.rediscoverthespark.org. Additional dates and locations are listed on-line.
