* * * * * * * * “Status Animarum,” 2018 - 2019

Each year, our Archdiocese requests the pastor of each parish account for the status of the souls in his care [“cura animarum”)—a type of “parish snapshot.” You may know, as co-workers with their (arch)bishop, pastors are entrusted with the education, sanctification and governance of God’s People. Earlier this month we sent “Status” form to the Chancery Office. A summary follows:

“Christ, Priest, Prophet and King”

In Tribute to Our Assistant Pastors

The magnificent, six-foot, German-made, bronze sculpture of Jesus, mounted at the center of the organ gallery, lovingly “watches over” our Faith Community. Last year, it was dedicated by our pastor as a permanent tribute to all the many, fine ASSIGNED, RESIDENT and VISITING PRIESTS, who have worked alongside the eleven Holy Trinity pastors over the past 121 years. At the present time, we thank Father Gary Mead, Father Stephen Koeth, Father Joseph Koterski, Father Patrick Ryan and Father D’Angelo Jimenez for their unstinting priestly service, and their many personal sacrifices for the growth, strength and resiliency of the Holy Trinity parish!

El Apóstol San Andrés 30 de Noviembre

SAN ANDRES nació en Betsaida, población de Galilea situada a orillas del lago de Genezaret. Era hijo del pescador Jonás y hermano (le Sinmón Pedro. La Sagrada Escritura no especifica si era mayor o menor que éste. La familia tenía una casa en Cafarnaún y en ella se alojaba Jesús cuando predicaba en esa ciudad. Apóstol de Jesús. Andrés y sus compañeros pasaron con Jesús las dos horas que quedaban del día. Andrés comprendió claramente que Jesús era el Mesías y, desde aquel instante, resolvió seguirle. Así pues, fue el primer discípulo de Jesús. Por ello los griegos le llaman "Proclete" (el primer llamado). Andrés llevó más tarde a su hermano a conocer a Jesús, quien le tomó al punto por discípulo, le dio el nombre de Pedro. Desde entonces, Andrés y Pedro fueron discípulos de Jesús. Al principio no le seguían constantemente, como habían de hacerlo más tarde, pero iban a escucharle siempre que podían y luego regresaban al lado de su familia a ocuparse de sus negocios. Cuando el Salvador volvió a Galilea, encontró a Pedro y Andrés pescando en el lago y los llamó definitivamente al ministerio apostólico, anunciándoles que haría de ellos pescadores de hombres. Abandonaron inmediatamente sus redes para seguirle y ya no volvieron a separarse de EI. AI año siguiente, nuestro Señor eligió a los doce Apóstoles; el nombre de Andrés figura entre los cuatro primeros en las listas del Evangelio. También se le menciona a propósito de la multiplicación de los panes (Juan, 6, 8-9) y de los gentiles que querían ver a Jesús.

Martirio. El género de muerte de San Andrés y el sitio en que murió son también inciertos. La "pasión" apócrifa dice que fue crucificado en Patras de Acaya. Como no fue clavado a la cruz, sino simplemente atado, pudo predicar al pueblo durante dos días antes de morir. Según parece, la tradición de que murió en una cruz en forma de "X" no circuló antes del siglo IV. En tiempos del emperador Constancio II (+361), las presuntas reliquias de San Andrés fueron trasladadas de Patras a la iglesia de los Apóstoles, en Constantinopla. Los cruzados tomaron Constantinopla en 1204, y, poco después las reliquias fueron robadas y trasladadas a la catedral de Amalfi, en Italia.

* * * * * * * * The Pastoral staff will meet for a dinner meeting with selected representatives of parishioners at 5:00 PM TONIGHT at Arte Cafe on 73rd Street off Columbus Avenue. We will review the early part of the upcoming Liturgical Year.
