Dressing for Holy Mass

Saint Jacinta suffered tremendously while at the hospital from frequent fevers from an abscess on her side, pneumonia, and tuberculosis. Hardest of all was that she suffered alone, without family or friends. During her stay there, she confided in Mother Godinho who cared for her, several things of great importance that Our Lady of Fatima had told her:
 

• “More souls go to hell because of sins of impurity more than any other.”
• “Certain fashions are going to be introduced that will offend Our Lord very greatly and those who serve God should not follow them.”
• Modesty is decency. It inspires one’s choice of clothing. It keeps silence or reserve where there is evident risk of unhealthy curiosity. It is discreet. – CCC, Paragraph 2522

Vestirse para la Santa Misa

Santa Jacinta sufrió tremendamente mientras estaba en el hospital con fiebres frecuentes, por un absceso en su costado, pulmonía y tuberculosis. Lo más difícil de todo fue que sufrió sola, sin familia ni amigos.

Durante su estancia allí, confió a la Madre Godinho que la cuidaba, y varias cosas de gran importancia que Nuestra Señora de Fátima le había dicho:

• "Más almas van al infierno a causa de los pecados de impureza más que cualquier otro."
• "Se van a introducir ciertas modas que ofenderán mucho a Nuestro Señor y aquellos que sirven a Dios no deben seguirlo.
• La modestia es decencia. Inspira la elección de la ropa. Guarda silencio o reserva cuando existe un riesgo evidente de curiosidad malsana. Es discreto. – CCC, Paragraph 2522

Memorización

¿Qué significa la palabra católico?

Significa Universal

¿Qué es el Bautismo?

Bautizo: Quita el pecado original, todos los pecados personales y todo el castigo debido al pecado… a través de la gracia santificante. Incorpora en Cristo y en su Iglesia y nos marca con el sello indeleble de Cristo. (CCC 1262-1274, 1279-1280)

Attendance Guidelines

If a student is experiencing symptoms or has been exposed to someone that is ill, they should not attend CCE class.

It is the responsibility of the parent to pick up classwork in the event the student does not attend class.

A doctor’s excuse is required if an extended absence is due to illness. Parents are responsible for a written excuse to be turned in to the CCE office upon return to CCE. After this the absence will be automatically recorded as an unexcused absence.

PROTEGIENDO AL PUEBLO DE DIOS

Como el pueblo de Dios, cada uno de nosotros está llamado a celebrar, promover, y, si es necesario, defender la vida y la dignidad de todas personas. Tenemos que tratar a cada persona con respecto, y hacer lo posible para asegurar que nunca se dañe a los demás. Una sospecha de mala conducta con los menores de edad, cometida por el personal laico de la iglesia, deberá reportarse al párroco de la iglesia, al director de la escuela, o al encargado de la institución católica en cuestión. Una sospecha de mala conducta con los menores de edad cometida por un sacerdote, diácono, o religioso deberá reportarse directamente al Señor Obispo o al Vicario General al (P.O. Box 2279, Brownsville, TX 78522- 2279; 956-542-2501). Una forma para un Aviso Confidencial de Inquietud (Confidential Notice of Concern) puede obtenerse a través del párroco local, del director de la escuela, del encargado de la institución, de la Diócesis, o puede bajarse de la página oficial de Internet de la Diócesis de Brownsville (www.cdob.org). Por favor recuerde que hay una ley estatal que cualquier persona que sospeche el abuso o la negligencia hacia un menor de edad debe reportarlo a las autoridades oficiales locales o al Departamento de Servicios Familiares y Protectores de Texas (Texas Department of Family and Protective Services) al 1-800-252-5400. Nuestra fe nos asegura que el mal no nos vencerá, pero que venceremos al mal con el bien (cf. Rm 12:21).

CCE PARENTS CORNER
The SUNDAY OBLIGATION has been Restored.

The faithful are obliged to participate in the Sunday Eucharist and on Holy Days of Obligation. Those who fail in this obligation commit grave sin.
(CCC 2181)

Parents who do not bring their children to Mass on Sunday commit grave sin. Grave sin destroys our Communion with God and condemns us to eternal punishment.

Listening to the Voice of God

Change your whole experience of the Mass. Sunday, when you walk into Mass pray, God show me one way in this Mass I can become the best version of myself this week!

Choose a small notebook where you can write down what you heard God telling you each week. Use the moments of silence, father provides during the Mass to meditate on what you heard God telling you. This habit is designed to enrich your experience of the Mass, to teach you how to listen to God’s voice and to deepen your daily spiritually. After Mass discuss with your family what each one heard God say!

Escuchando la voz de Dios

Enriquece tu experiencia en la Misa dominical. Cada domingo cuando llegas a misa ora, “Dios mío, ¿de qué manera puedo convertirme en la mejor versión de Mi mismo esta semana? Escoge un pequeño cuaderno en donde escribas lo que escuchaste que te dijo Dios en cada Semana. Usa los momentos de silencio que el sacerdote provee durante la misa para meditar lo que escuchaste que Dios te contesto. Este es un hábito que está diseñado para enriquecer tu experiencia en la Misa dominical, para enseñarte como escuchar la voz de Dios, y para profundizar tu espiritualidad diaria ¡Después de Misa conversa con tu familia que escucho cada quien!
