~ REFLECTION ~

ANNOUNCEMENTS

The apostles had to wait until the first Pentecost to receive the Holy Spirit. But we were blessed with the Holy Spirit when we were baptized. The Holy Spirit is within each one of us. Moreover, together we are united in the Spirit, who moves among us, here in this building as well as around the whole world. As we celebrate Pentecost, let us be aware of the movement of the Spirit in our lives.

First Communion pictures and Certificates will be available for pick up on Friday, May 25th, 2018 at our Parish Office; $7 for 5 X 7 and $10 for group pictures.

~ REFLEXION ~

SAVE THE DATE

Al llegar a la celebración de la vigilia de Pentecostés, el último y mayor día de la cincuentena pascual, continuamos regocijándonos por la presencia entre nosotros de Jesús resucitado. Igualmente continuamos pidiéndole al Señor que siga derramando el Espíritu Santo sobre su Iglesia extendida por todo el mundo, el mismo Espíritu que hace que todas las naciones con diferentes lenguas confiesen el santo nombre de Dios.

Did You Know? Some

signs of abuse are too obvious to hide. Unexplained bruises and injuries may indicate abuse at home, and children who are close to a victim may notice these injuries more quickly than an adult, because they spend more time together. Children also share secrets with each other, and if a child is being abused, he/she may be more comfortable confiding in a close friend than an adult. It is important to talk to children about the signs of abuse, and encourage them to talk to you. To watch a video on this topic go to: https:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNoNlSIj8Ws.

Sabia Usted? Algunas señales de abuso son

demasiado obvias para ocultarse, especialmente si un niño está tratando de encubrir evidencia. Los moretones y lesiones inexplicables pueden indicar abuso en el hogar, y los niños que están cerca de la víctima pueden notar estas lesiones más rápidamente que un adulto, porque pasan más tiempo juntos. Los niños también comparten secretos entre sí, y si se está abusando de un niño, él/ella puede sentirse más cómodo/a confiando en un amigo cercano que en un adulto. Es importante hablar con los niños sobre las señales de abuso y alentarlos a hablar con usted. Para ver un video acerca de esta tema visite https:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNoNlSIj8Ws.
