This week we will celebrate our country’s Independence Day, our yearly reminder of the freedoms we enjoy in the United States of America and a call to thank God for them. It is worth recalling some of the sentiments expressed by our Founding Fathers in the Declaration of Independence that they adopted on July 4, 1776: “When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the Separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.” Whatever anyone may say about the religious convictions and faith of the Founding Fathers, we would be wise as a nation to recall these important words. On this holiday of our independence, let us as Catholics and Christians offer prayers for our country. Let us be grateful for the many freedoms we enjoy. And let us not be blind to where we have failed to ensure freedom, especially for the unborn, and also for the stranger among us. May God bless America, and may He secure for many generations to come the blessings of Life, Liberty, and the Happiness that only God can give. Our Lady of Guadalupe, patroness of the Americas, pray for us! -Fr Paul

P.S. Please keep Fr Erik in your prayers as he enjoys some well-deserved time with his family this week. P.P.S. Please note that our usual 10 a.m. Mass at St. Mark’s on July 22 will be moved to SACS for Fr. Erik's installation Mass. Since we expect many parishioners to attend this special Mass at which Archbishop Hebda will preside, we will need more space than any of our three beautiful churches can provide.

3 Esta semana celebraremos el Día de la Independencia de nuestro país. Esta festividad es un recordatorio anual de la libertad que disfrutamos en los Estados Unidos de América y un llamado a agradecer a Dios por ella. Vale la pena recordar algunos de los sentimientos expresados por nuestros Padres Fundadores en la Declaración de Independencia que adoptaron el 4 de julio de 1776:

“Cuando en el Curso de los eventos humanos, se hace necesario que un pueblo disuelva los vínculos políticos que los han conectado con otro y asuma entre los poderes de la tierra, la posición separada y equitativa a la cual las Leyes de la Naturaleza y de la Naturaleza Dios les da derecho, un respeto decente a las opiniones de la humanidad requiere que ellos deben declarar las causas que los impulsan a la Separación. Sostenemos que estas verdades son evidentes por sí mismas, que todos los hombres son creados iguales, que están dotados por su Creador de ciertos derechos inalienables, que entre los cuales están la Vida, la Libertad y la búsqueda de la Felicidad.” Cualquier cosa que alguien pueda decir sobre las convicciones religiosas y la fe de los Padres Fundadores, seríamos sabios como nación al recordar estas importantes palabras. En esta fiesta de nuestra independencia, permitámonos como católicos y cristianos ofrecer oraciones por nuestro país. Demos gracias por las muchas libertades que disfrutamos. Pero no seamos ciegos en donde hemos fallado a garantizar la libertad, especialmente para los no nacidos, y los extranjeros entre nosotros. Que Dios bendiga a América y asegure para muchas generaciones futuras las bendiciones de la Vida, la Libertad y la Felicidad que solo Dios puede dar. Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, patrona de las Américas, ¡ruega por nosotros! -Padre Pablo P.D. Por favor mantengan a Padre Erik en sus oraciones mientras disfruta de unas muy merecidas vacaciones con su familia esta semana. P.D.D Por favor tengan en cuenta que nuestra Misa de 10 am de San Marcos el 22 de Julio se moverá a SACS para celebrar la Misa de instalación de Padre Erik. Debido a que esperamos la asistencia de muchos feligreses en esta Misa precedida por el Arzobispo Hebda, necesitamos más espacio del que ofrece cualquiera de nuestros tres hermosos templos.

Seven Sisters Apostolate

El Apostolado de las Siete Hermanas

One Holy Hour, One Priest, Each Week, One Heart of Prayer

Una hora Santa/Un Sacerdote/Cada Semana/Un Corazón de Oración

Are you a woman with a heart of prayer and love for the priesthood? We are looking for women interested in praying for our parish priests. The commitment is for one year and requires a weekly hour of prayer for Fr. Erik or Fr Paul. If you are interested in learning more, please contact Sue Kirley at 952-270-8716 or Erika Pavon 952-240-5213. The Seven Sisters Apostolate is a call to strengthen the Church by ensuring that a Holy Hour is prayed each day of the week for the sole intention of a specific priest or bishop—a “holy wasting” (cf. Mt. 26:10) or lavishing of prayer for his deeper conformity to Christ.

¿Eres una mujer con corazón de oración y amor por el sacerdocio? Estamos buscando mujeres interesadas en orar por los sacerdotes de nuestra parroquia. El Apostolado de las Siete Hermanas comenzó en el 2011 con el Padre Joseph Johnson, y Janette Howe, un sacerdote y una feligrés de nuestra arquidiócesis. Usted puede ir a nuestro página Web www.sevensistersapostolate.org para más información. Es un compromiso de un año y viene siendo una hora de oración cada semana por el Padre Erik o el Padre Paul. Si le gustaría saber más sobre este apostolado por favor comuníquese con Sue Kirley at 952-270-8716 o Erika Pavón at 952-240-5213. Por favor deje mensaje si no responden su llamada inmediatamente.
