Meet Andre Rossignol– Director of Music Greetings! It is truly my pleasure to be joining the community here at Santiago de Compostela Catholic Church. I was born and raised in Santa Ana, which is also where I currently live with my wife and two children. I studied music at Chapman University and have been a professional musician for many years. This includes making music at various churches in the Diocese of Orange for the past 15 years. I am truly blessed to be heading up this group of musicians at Santiago that make up the Music Ministry. Our goal as musicians serving the Lord and his Church is to strive for excellence in our music in order to enhance the liturgical actions and prayers of the people. There are many exciting things to come including revitalizing the Chorale, expanding our Children’s Choir, and offering more opportunities for the youth at the Saturday vigil Mass. If you have the desire to join this ministry please contact me!

Musicianship/Vocal Classes The Music Ministry will be offering two classes to build up your musical skills. These are free classes and open to anyone in the parish. The classes will be held:

• Wednesday, August 23rd and August 30th • 7:00pm-9:00pm in Room A Please RSVP to Andre Rossignol at [email protected] or 949-951-8599, ext. 229

RCIA/RCIA Registration As the Church liturgical year trends to study and reflection, we, the Santiago faith community, once again prepare for those who seek knowledge and information about our Catholic Christian tradition. The process of welcome and education in the Catholic Christian tradition is called the Order of the Catechumenate. The Order of the Catechumenate dates to the days immediately after the death of Christ. It’s a process whereby unbaptized and those baptized in another Christian tradition come to know, understand and embrace the Catholic faith. Many know and recognize this process as the RCIA program (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults). Are you aware we also have an adapted RCIA program for unbaptized children grades 1 through 12? We offer the adult process in either English or Spanish and the Children’s process is bi-lingual. Registration forms for Adults and Children are available in the Parish Office or through the parish web site www.sdccatholic.org, select bulletins and forms and follow the instructions. CLASS BEGINS TODAY AUGUST 20th. Call the Office of Catechumenate for additional information 949-951-8599 ext. 231

Nueva Clase de Biblia en Español

949-951-8599 ext. 239

Te invitamos a que participes de la Clase de Biblia en español, una interesante forma de aprender y crecer en nuestra Fe, ofrecida aquí en nuestra parroquia de manera gratuita. El próximo curso comenzará el jueves 7 de septiembre de 2017 a las 6:45 pm. El Nuevo tema de esta sesión será: PROFUNDIZANDO EN LOS MISTERIOS DEL SANTO ROSARIO ¿Qué conoces del rosario? ¿Dónde se originó? ¿A quién debemos su origen? ¿Sabes que el santo rosario nos habla de la vida de Jesús? No te pierdas la oportunidad de profundizar y entender los misterios del rosario. Recuerda: Todos los jueves a las 6:45 pm en el salón Parroquial. Solo adultos. No habrá cuidado de niños.

¿A QUIÉN LE GRITAS EN MOMENTOS DE ANGUSTIA? En la mayoría de las familias existen a lo que le llamamos: “la oveja negra de la familia”. En muchas familias tenemos un hijo rebelde, un hijo que anda en malos pasos, un hijo que se junta con amigos que lo llevan por el mal camino, un hijo que anda en drogas o en el alcoholismo. Cuando tenemos un hijo que va por el “mal camino”, lo que normalmente hacemos es gritarle, decirle palabras como: “no sirves para nada”, “Dios me castigó contigo”, “eres un inservible”. ¿La verdad? ésto no ayuda nada, sino que solo empeora las cosas. En el evangelio de este domingo tenemos a una madre que tiene una hija con un demonio que la atormenta, pero ella en lugar de gritarle a su hija, va y le grita a Jesús para que tenga misericordia de su hija. Ella sabe a quién gritar, a quien rogar, a quien acudir. A esta madre no le importa lo que diga la gente, ella tiene una necesidad y sabe que Jesús puede sanar a su hija. Esta mujer tiene hambre de misericordia y no le importa que sean tan solo las migajas. Hermano, hermana, si tienes un hijo que anda en malos pasos, no le grites, no le humilles, mejor ruega a Jesús por tu él o por ella y no te des por vencido. Acuérdate y aprende de esta madre del Evangelio que no se dio por vencida, hasta que Jesús dijo: “¡mujer qué grande es tu fe!, qué se cumpla lo que deseas”. Quiero también que sepas y que no olvides que siempre estoy orando, intercediendo por las necesidades de nuestras familias. Te invito a que tu también pongas en las manos de Jesús a tu familia. ¡Dios te bendiga! Diácono Humberto Ramirez
