Wills and Bequests Please consider placing Santiago de Compostela Church in your Will so that your legacy might continue through the important works and ministries of the parish. You or your estate planner can contact the Orange Catholic Foundation at https://www.oc-foundation.org for information. Please be sure to stipulate Santiago de Compostela Church in Lake Forest, California!

Are You Prepared for Your Child’s Baptism? www.parishpay.com Financial Statements In an effort to save the cost of postage, end of the year tax statements that are requested will be emailed to you or will be available for pick up in the Reception Office. This would be a good time to update or add your email contact information. Financial contribution statements for 2016 will be processed only if you have used weekly envelopes. To request a statement, call the office at 949-951-8599 or email Shirley at [email protected]. Why Tithe with Envelopes or ParishPay? Why is it important to actually use envelopes (or ParishPay) to make your weekly contributions rather than just putting cash into the collection basket? Because somewhere down the line you will probably come to the parish in need of contribution verification, especially for income taxes purposes or to qualify for Catholic Tuition Rates at your child’s Catholic School. We are able to track weekly donations only when our parishioners use their envelopes or utilize electronic fund transfer through ParishPay. Loose cash or checks do not get posted to our database. To have your tithing documented please be sure to use either the envelopes or ParishPay so we may properly record your contribution to the parish. When including a check in the donation envelope, please write your envelope number (which is also your Parish ID number) in the memo line of your check, as well as list the check number on the envelope. Thank you for your assistance and God bless you for your continued generosity.

Facility Scheduling Attention all ministry leaders: In an effort to avoid any scheduling issues or conflicts, all requests for scheduling the church, parish hall, or any other part of our facilities needs to be submitted through [email protected].

Baptism classes are held the first Friday evening of every month (April 7th). Class attendance by parents and godparents must be completed in order for your baby to be Baptized. The Baptism procedures and Baptism registration forms can be easily downloaded from our website. Contact Parish Office at 949-951-8599 with your questions.

Purging Parish Data... In the process of updating our parish database, we plan to make inactive any registered parish family who has not contributed time, talent or treasure within the last five years, January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2016. If you have been inactive but want to remain a parish member, please contact the parish office.

Mass Intentions 2017 Our Reception Office is now taking Mass Intention Requests for the first quarter of 2017 (January through March), and will continue to do so until that quarter is booked.

Professional Eastern European Beggars Beware! There is an organization of Eastern European Beggars in our area. These people do NOT need your help, In fact, they are very wealthy. These people bring their small children and/or their pregnant wives and have them stand in the hot sun or the cold rain asking for money from people with big hearts. We have been advised to not give them money and avoid any contact with them as they are violent towards anyone who disrupts their “business”. We have also been notified to contact Lake Forest PD .

GOOD FRIDAY COLLECTION A Pontifical Collection April 14, 2017 Christians around the world are united in a special way during Lent, Holy Week, and Easter. Our hearts, minds, and prayers are also especially aware of the Holy Land. Our parish, once a year on Good Friday, is called on to support Christians, the Living Stones of the Holy Land. Many Christians in the Holy Land depend on this collection for their well-being. As a pontifical collection requested by Pope Francis, the annual Good Friday Collection offers a direct link for parishioners to be witnesses of peace and to help protect the Holy Places. When you donate on Good Friday, you are also supporting Christians in the Holy Land. Franciscans and others in the Holy Land are housing and feeding the poor, providing religious formation and education, maintaining shrines and parishes, and conducting pastoral ministry. For more information, visit www.MyFranciscan.org. The Good Friday Collection is requested by the Holy Father. Please be as generous as your abundance allows.

Fridays in Lent Each Friday in Lent, we will offer a

Dinner and the opportunity to pray the Stations of the Cross. Each week, dinner will be served between 5:00pm and 7:00pm. The Stations in English will be offered at 5:30pm and in Spanish at 7:00pm. “Rolling Away the Stone: An Invitation” is the presentation for the Orange Diocesan Council of Catholic Women’s (ODCCW) Mini Retreat and luncheon to be held at Santiago de Compostella Parish on Tuesday, April 18, 2017.

EASTER SUNDAY / DOMINGO DE PASCUA

Lent begins this Wednesday, March 1 with Ash Wednesday. Lent offers us the opportunity to prepare for the celebration of Easter. In a particulate way during Lent, we are asked to devote ourselves to the spiritual and corporal works of mercy that remind us that faith finds expression in concrete everyday actions meant to help our neighbors in body and spirit. 1) Everyone 14 years of age and older is bound to abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday, and all Fridays of Lent. If for some serious reason a person must eat meat on one of these days, some other form of selfsacrifice should be performed.

Cuando usted haga su donación en Viernes Santo, usted estará apoyando a la Cristiandad en Tierra Santa. La orden de los Franciscanos y otros en Tierra Santa están albergando y alimentando a los pobres, proveyendo información y educación, manteniendo los altares y las parroquias, y ofreciendo servicios pastorales.

¡Un día para el Señor es cómo mil años! Por: Diácono Humberto Ramírez En la segunda carta de San Pedro, en el capítulo 3, versículo 8 dice: “Pero, amados, no ignores esto: ¡Qué para el Señor un día es como mil años…” También en el salmo 90 leemos: “En verdad, mil años, para ti, son como un día que ya pasó...” Para nosotros un día se compone de 24 horas y ese día en el tiempo de Dios es como mil años. Esto quiere decir, que, si un día en el tiempo de Dios son mil años, entonces, 500 años equivalen a 12 horas, 250 años equivalen a 6 horas, 125 años equivalen a 3 horas y ¡62 años y medio equivalen a tan solo 1 hora y media! ¿A dónde quiero llegar con tanta matemática? Pues bien, si vivimos en promedio unos 70 a 80 años, esto equivale aproximadamente a tan solo 2 horas de vida en el tiempo de Dios. ¡Solo dos horas! La Cuaresma, es tiempo de reconocer nuestras faltas, es tiempo de arrepentimiento, tiempo de amar y de pedir perdón. Es por eso que les invito para que ahora, en esta Cuaresma, si tienes algo contra tu hijo, tu hija, tu esposo o esposa, vecino, vayas con esta persona y le pidas perdón y se reconcilien. ¡No pierdas el tiempo! Recuerda que, en el tiempo de Dios, ¡solo tenemos 2 horas para amar! ¡Tan solo 2 horas de vida! ¡Dios te bendiga! Diacono Humberto

¿Qué hacemos y Por qué lo hacemos? ¿Cuál es el significado del Miércoles de Ceniza? ¿Qué significa la Pascua? ¿Sabes que es el Triduo Pascual? ¿Cuál es el significado del Cordero Pascual? ¿Por qué se bendice el fuego durante la Vigilia Pascual? ¡VEN Y APRENDE CON NOSOTROS! ADULTOS SOLAMENTE POR FAVOR
