Doing Our Part To Change History For The Better
In 1948, the World Medical Association created the Geneva Declaration as a proclamation of human rights. It was a direct response to the atrocities that had been committed by the Nazis. They were coming out of a period where it had been acceptable to kill, mistreat and perform experiments on those who were thought of as inferior. Therefore, the Geneva Declaration was a means for declaring respect for human life. The oath included this clause, “I will have the utmost respect for human life, from the time of conception.”
However, in 1984, it was altered to no longer acknowledge conception. Instead, they replaced it with the words, “from its beginning.” That too did not survive. In 2005, it was deleted altogether, leaving no reference to the earliest stages of life. It’s shameful how this literally documents our society’s degradation of life.
That leads us to the present. What will future generations see in the history we leave behind? The tragic reality is that we have a culture of death where 60 million innocent babies have been denied the right to live in the U.S. Abortion mills thrive across the country where the unborn aren’t only killed, but abortionists profit from their "profession."
Yet, we have voices that are speaking out affirming the value of life. Technology, via ultrasounds, is showing the world the truth and beauty of development in the womb. Women help centers are located in communities across the country, reaching out to abortion-vulnerable women and saving babies’ lives. Pro-life legislation is being introduced on both federal and state levels. Much progress is being made; but make no mistake, it’s a bitter ongoing battle. For victory, we must each do our part so that we may stand at the turning point in history, where this generation will restore a culture of life. Pro-Life Articles HACIENDO NUESTRA PARTE PARA MEJORAR LA HISTORIA
En 1948, la Asociación Mundial Medica, creada en la Declaración de Génova como una proclamación a los derechos humanos. Fue una respuesta directa a las atrocidades cometidas por los nazis. Salían de un periodo donde había sido aceptable matar, maltratar y desarrollar experimentos en aquellos que se pensaba eran inferiores. Por consiguiente, la Declaración de Génova era un medio para declarar el respeto por la vida humana. El juramento incluyo esta clausula. “tendré el máximo respeto por la vida humana, desde el momento de la concepción.”
Sin embargo, en 1984, fue alterada para ya no reconocer el término concepción. En su lugar, fue remplazada con las palabras, “desde el comienzo”. Que tampoco no sobrevivió. En 2005, fue la frase entera borrada, no dejando referencia alguna a las primeras etapas de la vida. Es vergonzoso como esto documenta literalmente la degradación de la vida de nuestra sociedad.
Esto nos lleva al presente. Que verán futuras generaciones de lo que estamos dejando atrás? La trágica realidad es que tenemos una cultura de muerte donde 60 millones de bebes inocentes les han sido negado el derecho a vivir en los Estados Unidos. No solo centros abortistas aumentan a través de todo el país donde seres humanos no nacidos son asesinados, sino también aumentan las ganancias de los abortistas a través de su profesión.
Aun más, tenemos voces que aclaman afirmando el valor de la vida. La tecnología a través de ultrasonido, ensena al mundo la verdad y belleza del desarrollo dentro del vientre materno. Centros de Ayuda a la mujer son localizados en comunidades a través de todo el país, llegando hasta las mujeres más vulnerables de cometer aborto y salvando la vida de estos bebes. Legislaciones PRO-VIDA están siendo introducidas en los dos niveles federal y estatal. Se ha hecho mucho progreso, pero no hay que fallar, es una encarnizada batalla. Para ir por la victoria, debemos cada uno hacer nuestra parte ya que pudiéramos estar en el momento crucial de la historia, donde esta generación restaurara una cultura de vida. Pro-Life Articles
On Wednesday, Dec. 1st, the Supreme Court will take up a case that could overturn Roe v. Wade. People across the country are holding prayer vigils Tuesday evening and through the night. Won’t you consider making a holy hour this Tuesday night through Wednesday morning? Prayer warriors are especially needed in the wee hours of the morning.
El miércoles 1 de diciembre, la Corte Suprema tomará un caso que podría revocar Roe v. Wade. La gente de todo el país está llevando a cabo vigilias de oración el martes por la noche y durante toda
la noche.
¿No consideraría hacer una hora santa este martes por la noche hasta el miércoles por la mañana? Los guerreros de oración son especialmente necesarios en las primeras horas de la mañana.

Stewardship
Images of the final judgment can be disturbing, especially if we have not been faithful. However, if we have followed the Lord’s example of service and sacrifice, we will be ready to stand erect and raise our heads to meet the Lord face to face on the Last Day

Maintenance Fund donations are designated for capital expenditures, In June 2019 following the church and school building loan payoff, the Finance Council recommended that AtoL establish a Maintenance reserve to prepare for large capital expenditures for equipment and materials reaching their end of life. Donors contributing to the Building Fund were encouraged to redirect to the Maintenance Fund. Since 2018, capital expenditures include $86,000 new roof and water damage repair of cafeteria; $182,000 new chiller (HVAC); $65,000 new lower school roof. Major expenditures ahead include the church and administration roof and upper school roof at an estimated cost of $400,000 plus repairs/replacement of the church/school exterior Dryvit/EIFS. Maintenance reserve balance on Oct 15 was $232,634.
If you do not currently donate to the Maintenance Fund, please consider a one-time or recurring donation. You can designate Maintenance on our online ParishSoft Giving site or utilize the blue monthly envelope in the envelope sets.
