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) Cuál es la diferencia entre una “Biblia Católica” y una Biblia ¿protestante”? Ambos incluyen 27 libros en el Nuevo Testamento. Las Biblias Protestantes tienen solo 39 libros en el Antiguo Testamento, mientras que las Biblias Católicas tienen 46 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. How to go to Confession Do an examination of conscience and be sorry for your sins. Go into the confessional and kneel; make the sign of the cross and say: “Bless me Father for I have sinned.” Say: “This is my first confession (or how long has it been)”. Confess your sins. Listen to the priest give you Penance and Absolution. Pray the Act of Contrition Leave the confessional and say the penance that the priest gave and thank God for forgiving your sins Follow Precepts and Register Precepts of Catholic Church

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. Cada Lunes 6 p.m. Servicio de comunion Todos bienvenidos 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.

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.

Watch YouTube: Bishop Robert Barron, August 23, 2022 Our Catholic President and the Most Pressing Moral Issue of Our Time Friends, President Biden speaks often of his Catholic faith, attends Mass regularly, and prays the Rosary. I have absolutely no reason to doubt the sincerity of his Catholicism. But I am sorry to say that, in regard to the most pressing moral issue of our time, he stands athwart both right reason and the explicit teaching of his Church.

To the Catholic Faithful in the Diocese of Brownsville News of plans in the State of Texas for the distribution of effective vaccines against the deadly COVID-19 virus is a source of hope and encouragement. It is important, however, for all of us in the Rio Grande Valley to continue to be vigilant in observing health safety protocols urged by public health officials. We can expect that it will be considerable time before the vaccines will have a positive effect on the vulnerability of the general population. Our churches and schools in particular must continue to observe the strict protocols in place for the celebration of Mass and other Sacraments, and for classroom instruction until such time as they are modified by the bishop. I particularly want to assure Catholics that it is morally permissible for us to make use of the various vaccines when they become available. Some have suggested that the vaccines currently being prepared for orderly distribution are all morally tainted because of their association with cells derived from aborted children, and thus a Catholic may not receive them. This is an inaccurate appraisal. Yours in Christ, Most Rev. Daniel E. Flores, S.T.D. Bishop of Brownsville Para los Fieles Catolicos en la Dioceses de Brownsville, Noticias de planes en el Estado de Tejas para la distribucion de vacunas efectiva en contra de COVID-19 de una manera efectiva de esperanza y animo. Pero es inportante para todos nosotros en el Valle del Rio Grande que continuemos vigilantes y observar el protocol de seguridad por los oficiales de la salud publica. Esperaremos que sera consideramente tiempo antes que las vacunas traigan efecto positivo a todos los vunerables y toda la población en general. En particularmente nuestras Iglesias y escuelas que tienen que continuar un estricto protocol en la celebracion de Misa y otros Sacramentos, y en la instrucion en los cuartos de clases hasta que el Obispo modifique las reglas. Yo particularmente quiero asegurar a los Catolicos que es moralmente permissible que haganos uso de varias vacunas cuando esten disponibles. Unos han surgerido que las actuales vacunas que estan sido preparadas en un manera ordenada son moralmente contaminadas por estar asociadas con celulas derivadas de niños abortados, y un Catolico no debe de recibirlas. Esta es una Evalausion Incorecta. Tuyo en Cristo, El Mas Rev. Daniel E. Flores, S.T. D. Obispo de Brownsville Weekly Offertory & Daily Collections We have plastic boxes at the entrance doors in the Church for you to drop off Offertory Envelopes or currency contributions, also in front of the office in the black box you can drop off. Sobres de Ofertorio y Contribución durante la Semana En las entradas de las puertas de la Iglesia hay cajas de plástico para depositar su sobre de Ofertorio o su contribución. También en frente de la oficina en la caja negra puede depositarlos. Receiving Holy Communion During Mass Wear a face mask at all times. Only Priests, Deacons, and Extraordinary Ministers are to distribute under the species of the Sacred Host, and only in the hand, and at that time lower your mask to consume the Body of Christ. |
