Youth Leaders' Meeting
Thursday, August 3
6 PM
CCE Hall
We need teens (11th or 12th graders) and young adults who would like to join the Life Teen Youth Ministry team.
A youth leader does not have to know everything about the Bible or have all the answers. Your responsibility is to love teens where they are at and show them they are loved by God by walking with them and building Christ-centered relationships with them.
Please join use! Call the CCE office at (956) 423-1766 for more information.

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 those 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
Instructions on Receiving Holy Communion with Proper Reverence
Hand
When you approach, do not go stretching out your open hands or having your fingers spread out, but make the left hand into a throne for the right which shall receive the King, and then cup your open hand and the Body of Christ, the Minister will say “Body/Blood of Christ”; you will respond, by saying 'Amen.'
When receiving in the hand: You must eat the host there and not move out with it in your hand.
Tongue
The Minister will say “Body/Blood of Christ”; you will respond, by saying 'Amen.' Open your mouth, the Priest will place the Host on your tongue.
Note: We have found hosts in between the pew on the carpet; if you see something, say something.
