Readings for the Week Nota de nuestro pastor

Lecturas de la Semana El mes de diciembre estuvo lleno de varias celebraciones en la iglesia de San Joaquín. En la Mon/Lunes: Heb 5:1-10; Ps 110:1-4; primera parte del mes, cada noche tuvimos la Mk 2:18-22 novena y misa de la Virgen de Guadalupe, del 3 al 11 de diciembre, Tues/Martes:Heb 6:10-20; Ps 111:1-2, 4-5, 9, 10c; culminando con una gran celebración el 12 de diciembre del 2014. Entre Mk 2:23-28 esta celebración de la Novena de Guadalupe, la comunidad de Nicaragua Wed/Mier: Heb 7:1-3, 15-17; Ps 110:1-4; Mk 3:1-6 de San Joaquín celebro la fiesta de la Inmaculada Concepción de nuestra Thurs/Juev: Heb 7:25 — 8:6; Ps 40:7-10, 17; Mk 3:7- Virgen María el 6 de diciembre del 2014. El festival de Guadalupe el 12 de 12, or any of a number of readings for diciembre estuvo seguido por la Cena y Concierto de Villancicos de the Day of Prayer Navidad que pusieron el Coro de la Iglesia y de la Escuela de San Joaquín Fri/Vier: Heb 8:6-13; Ps 85:8, 10-14; Mk 3:13-19 el 13 de diciembre del 2014. Después de un corto receso de solo dos días Sat/Sab Heb 9:2-3, 11-14; Ps 47:2-3, 6-9; manteniendo además las celebraciones litúrgicas de fin de semana Mk 3:20-21 habituales otras dos Novenas empezaron del 16 al 24 de diciembre del Sun/Dom: Jon 3:1-5, 10; Ps 25:4-9; 1 Cor 7:29-31; 2014, culminando en las festividades de Navidad. Mk 1:14-20 La primera fue las celebraciones de Simbang Gabi del 16 al 24 de diciembre del 2014. Cada mañana a las 5:30, casi 300 personas

participaron en esta Novena celebrada en nuestra iglesia. Después se sirvió desayuno a todos los participantes de la misa . Como el año pasado los organizadores de Simbang Gabi este año fueron los Caballeros de Colon. A diferencia de años anteriores, este año parroquias vecinas también, comenzaron a celebrar las fiestas Simbang Gabi durante nueve días. Como resultado, hubo un ligero descenso en el número de personas que participaron en las misas de la novena y el

desayuno. Pero los Caballeros de Colon se encargaron que no disminuyera el ambiente festivo ni la comida para la gente. Además de ayudar a la comunidad a prepararse para la celebración de la Navidad, la celebración de Simbang Gabi, al igual que la celebración Guadalupe generaron un monto substancial de ingresos para la parroquia. Aunque los Caballeros de Colón tiene sólo unos pocos miembros, desempeñan un papel importante siempre que la iglesia los necesita,

como los trabajos de reparación y mantenimiento alrededor de la iglesia, alistando el Salón y el Gimnasio para cualquier evento de la Iglesia y limpiando después de cualquier evento, etc. Solamente necesito Hayward Santo Niño Prayer Group contáctame por teléfono con su Gran Caballero para hacer cualquier Annual Fiesta trabajo y a veces no se puede percibir que hacen. Los Caballeros se han vuelto una bendición para nuestra Iglesia. Muy bien hecho Caballeros. Saint Joachim Church Ustedes son una bendición a la Iglesia de San Joaquín. 21250 Hesperian Blvd Hayward, CA 94541 Del 16 al 24 de diciembre del 2014, por las noches celebramos las Posadas en el Salón. A pesar de las inclemencias del tiempo, fue una Saturday, January 31, 2015 alegría ver a tanta gente en particular a los niños participando en las Rosary 1:00 PM and Mass: 2:00 PM Posadas.
