LEAVE A LEGACY MONTH June is “Leave a Legacy” month in the Diocese of Norwich. It is a wonderful time to remind parishioners in the Diocese about the value of charitable estate planning. Some people choose to mark their legacy by requesting gifts made in memoriam to the parish, school, ministry or the Diocese in lieu of flowers upon their passing. Others include a bequest in their Will to their favorite Catholic organization. Still others are interested in establishing an endowment with the Catholic Foundation of the Diocese of Norwich to benefit a diocesan organization. Most recently, Mr. Leo Barron of Gales Ferry established The Leo E. and Lorraine A. Barron Endowment within the Catholic Foundation to support our Lady of Lourdes Church. We are blessed that Mr. Barron’s generosity will allow him to help his Church into perpetuity. If you are interested in learning more about how you can leave your legacy and support all the good works that the Church is involved with, please contact Mary Ellen Mahoney, Development Manager, at (860) 886-1928 or email [email protected].

LA NATIVIDAD DE JUAN BAUTISTA LAS LECTURAS DE HOY

24 DE JUNIO, 2018

10 Minutos Cada Día para conocer mejor a Jesús. Las lecturas para esta semana son las siguientes:

En aquel tiempo Jesús atravesó de nuevo a la otra orilla, se le reunió mucha gente a su alrededor, y se quedó junto al lago. Se acercó un jefe de la sinagoga, que se llamaba Jairo, y al verlo se echó a sus pies, rogándole con insistencia: –Mi niña está en las últimas; ven, pon las manos sobre ella, para que se cure y viva. Jesús se fue con él, acompañado de mucha gente que lo apretujaba. [Había una mujer que padecía flujos de sangre desde hacía doce años. Muchos médicos la habían sometido a toda clase de tratamientos y se había gastado en eso toda su fortuna; pero en vez de mejorar, se había puesto peor. Oyó hablar de Jesús y, acercándose por detrás, entre la gente, le tocó el manto, pensando que con solo tocarle el vestido, curaría. Inmediatamente se secó la fuente de sus hemorragias y notó que su cuerpo estaba curado. Jesús, notando que había salido fuerza de él, se volvió en seguida, en medio de la gente, preguntando: – ¿Quién me ha tocado el manto? Los discípulos le contestaron: –Ves cómo te apretuja la gente y preguntas: «¿quién me ha tocado ?» El seguía mirando alrededor, para ver quién había sido. La mujer se acercó asustada y temblorosa, al comprender lo que había pasado, se le echó a los pies y le confesó todo. Él le dijo: –Hija, tu fe te ha curado. Vete en paz y con salud. Todavía estaba hablando, cuando] llegaron de casa del jefe de la sinagoga para decirle: –Tu hija se ha muerto. ¿Para qué molestar más al maestro? Jesús alcanzó a oír lo que hablaban y le dijo al jefe de la sinagoga: –No temas; basta que tengas fe. No permitió que lo acompañara nadie más que Pedro, Santiago y Juan, el hermano de Santiago. Llegaron a casa del jefe de la sinagoga y encontró el alboroto de los que lloraban y se lamentaban a gritos. Entro y les dijo: – ¿Qué estrépito y qué lloros son estos? La niña no está muerta, está dormida. Se reían de él. Pero él los echó fuera a todos, y con el padre y la madre de la niña y sus acompañantes entró donde estaba la niña, la cogió de la mano y le dijo: –Talitha qumi (que significa: contigo hablo, niña, levántate). La niña se puso en pie inmediatamente y echó a andar –tenía doce años–.Y se quedaron viendo visiones. Les insistió en que nadie se enterase; y les dijo que dieran de comer a la niña.

CORPUS CHRISTI CATHOLIC COMMUNITY A MESSAGE FROM FATHER LARRY

UN MENSAJE DEL PADRE LARRY

Dear sisters and brothers in Christ, A heartfelt thank you and God bless you to all those who bought or sold raffle tickets for our first annual car/truck raffle. 1215 tickets were bought so the odds were very good. The winners are listed elsewhere in this Bulletin. The Jumpin’ Jivin’ Jubilee Jam (a.k.a. the Dance) was a big hit. We will definitely have to repeat this event too as a way to raise awareness of our Alumni group and of the three parishes of the Corpus Christi Catholic Community. The final figures aren’t in on these two events at publication time but we will be reporting the totals in next week’s bulletin. This old fashioned way of communicating with you through the printed word is our front line in getting information to you. Please read it carefully and spread the news you read about the CCCC and the church in general published here. The Bulletin is also available online at the CCCC website www.https.catholicwindham.org .These are the best ways to get real information…that and a phone call or e-mail to me directly. This week I heard there is a rumor circulating that Sagrado Corazón Church is closing in October or November. I am very grateful to the conscientious parishioner who called to say, “What’s up?” The best way to squelch rumors and gossip is to go directly to the horse’s … mouth. I suspect all the talk about change in the churches of our diocese, the lengthy delay in any local action and the mergers in adjoining dioceses fueled speculation regarding a beloved church in our midst. There is NO plan to close Sagrado Corazon Church or Saint Mary’s or Saint Joseph’s. Here, in the Corpus Christi Catholic Community, unlike many other clusters, we have been implementing collaborative activities, programs, ministries and the common Bulletin for quite some time. The merger of parishes we so often hear about does not imply the closure of churches. One change coming up, however, is to move the Saturday 4:30 Vigil Mass at Saint Mary’s to Sunday evening at 5 PM still at Saint Mary’s during the weekends of July and August. All other scheduled Masses in the Corpus Christi Catholic Community Mass schedule remain as currently scheduled. Mass intentions for those Saturdays will be moved to Sunday evenings. This change will affect the schedule for the weekends of July and August only. ( July 7-8, 1415, 21-22, 28-29, August 4-5, 11-12, 18-19, 25-26) This is an experimental schedule and will be reviewed to see if it should be more permanent later. Lots of consultation would precede a longer change. I am also currently consulting widely for additional funding and increased and improved marketing for Saint Mary-Saint Joseph School in light of declining enrollment. In order to continue the strong influence of Catholic elementary education in the greater Windham area it is essential to increase enrollment and revenue. Sadly the phenomenon of decreasing enrollment in parochial schools is broadly experienced throughout the diocese and throughout the northeastern United States while in others parts of the US they flourish. I firmly believe that a strong Catholic elementary school is the foundation of a vibrant Catholic community and am making every effort to strengthen our school with a view to the long-term future of the Church in this area. Well, as the New York Times says on its masthead, that’s “all the news that’s fit to print”. It’s too bad, isn’t it, that the news that isn’t fit to print these days often captures the headlines and the attention of the gossip! Devotedly yours in Christ, (the WORD you can trust)

Queridas hermanas y hermanos en Cristo, Un sincero agradecimiento y que Dios los bendiga a todos aquellos que compraron o vendieron boletos de rifa para nuestra primera rifa anual de automóviles y camiones. Se compraron 1215 boletos, por lo que las probabilidades eran muy buenas. Los ganadores se enumeran en otra parte de este Boletín. El Jumpin 'Jivin' Jubilee Jam (al principio, el baile) fue un gran éxito. Definitivamente tendremos que repetir este evento también como una forma de crear conciencia sobre nuestro grupo de Antiguos Alumnos y de las tres parroquias de la Comunidad Católica de Corpus Christi. Las cifras finales no aparecen en estos dos eventos en el momento de la publicación, pero informaremos los totales en el boletín de la próxima semana. Esta forma antigua de comunicarse con usted a través de la palabra impresa es nuestra primera línea para obtener información para usted. Por favor, léalo detenidamente y difunda las noticias que lee sobre el CCCC y la iglesia en general publicadas aquí. El Boletín también está disponible en línea en el sitio web de CCCC www.https.catholicwindham.org. Estas son las mejores maneras de obtener información real ... eso y una llamada telefónica o un correo electrónico a mí directamente. Esta semana escuché que circula el rumor de que la Iglesia Sagrado Corazón está cerrando en octubre o noviembre. Estoy muy agradecido con el feligrés concienzudo que me llamó para decir: "¿Qué pasa?" La mejor manera de silenciar rumores y chismes es ir directamente a la boca del caballo. Sospecho que toda la charla sobre el cambio en las iglesias de nuestra diócesis, la larga demora en cualquier acción local y las fusiones en las diócesis contiguas alimentaron la especulación con respecto a una querida iglesia en medio de nosotros. NO hay ningún plan para cerrar la Iglesia Sagrado Corazón o Santa María o San José. Aquí, en la comunidad católica de Corpus Christi, a diferencia de muchos otros grupos, hemos estado implementando actividades colaborativas, programas, ministerios y el boletín común durante bastante tiempo. La fusión de las parroquias que tan a menudo escuchamos no implica el cierre de las iglesias. Un cambio que se avecina, sin embargo, es mover la Misa de la Vigilia de las 4:30 de los sábados en Saint Mary al domingo a las 5 de la tarde, en Saint Mary durante los fines de semana de julio y agosto. Todas las otras Misas programadas en el programa de la Misa de la Comunidad Católica de Corpus Christi se mantienen como están programadas actualmente. Las intenciones masivas para esos sábados se trasladarán a las tardes de los domingos. Este cambio afectará el horario para los fines de semana de julio y agosto solamente. (7-8 de julio, 14-15, 21-22, 28-29, agosto 4-5, 11-12, 18-19, 25-26) Este es un horario experimental y se revisará para ver si debería ser más permanente más tarde. Mucha consulta precedería a un cambio más largo. Actualmente también estoy asesorando ampliamente para obtener fondos adicionales e incrementar y mejorar el mercadeo de la escuela Saint Mary-Saint Joseph a la luz del descenso en la inscripción. A fin de continuar la fuerte influencia de la educación primaria católica en el área metropolitana de Windham, es esencial aumentar la inscripción y los ingresos. Lamentablemente, el fenómeno de la disminución de la matrícula en las escuelas parroquiales se experimenta ampliamente en toda la diócesis y en todo el noreste de los Estados Unidos, mientras que en otras partes de los EE. UU. Florecen. Creo firmemente que una escuela primaria católica sólida es la base de una comunidad católica vibrante y estoy haciendo todo lo posible para fortalecer nuestra escuela con miras al futuro a largo plazo de la Iglesia en esta área. Bueno, como dice el New York Times en su tema, el cual es "todas las noticias aptas para imprimir". Es una lástima, ¿no es cierto?, que las noticias que no están preparadas para imprimir en estos días a menudo captan los titulares y la atención de los chismes. Devotamente suyo en Cristo, (la PALABRA en la que puede
