FESTIVAL INTERNACIONAL SABADO 21 DE OCTUBRE 5:30 PM – 8:00 PM

  Dear friends,

Each year we submit two reports to the Diocese:  the finance report, which is summarized for you as the insert in today’s bulletin, and a statistical report of sacraments celebrated, etc.  The number of sacraments celebrated last year is listed at the bottom of the finance report and reflects the real vitality of the parish.  We also responded to 250 requests for food from our emergency food pantry.  The statistical report is complemented by a short narrative of main parish events for the fiscal year that ended 30 June 2023.  Below is the narrative of significant historical events:

The summer and fall of 2022 began the “post-pandemic” era.  We resumed meetings and activities including the parish picnic, flea market, and international festival. Ordained three years previous, Father Jesús Ramírez, CSJ came from Mexico and celebrated Masses of Thanksgiving with this, his deacon internship parish.  He also returned in December to preside at the Our Lady of Guadalupe Mass.  Family one day retreats were well attended in Advent and Lent.  In May, newly appointed auxiliary bishop Michael Woost came to celebrate the confirmation of 16 young people.  The year 2023 is the 140th anniversary of this parish.  A large committee of people planned the celebration presided by Bishop Malesic on June 25th.  The bilingual Mass and outdoor reception and meal after Mass were well attended.  A picture of the congregation assembled on the front steps of the church was taken, as had been taken on the 50th anniversary in 1933. A commemorative booklet was published. The parish was featured on a program of the Catholic radio station AM 1260 “The Rock”.  The local “Neighborhood News” also featured the event. Pastoral Minister Sister Charlotte Hobleman SND celebrated her golden jubilee as a professed religious sister.  The roof on the rectory was replaced in December 2022           

  Sincerely in Christ, Fr. Joseph H. Callahan

PSR/CONFIRMATION REGISTRATION:  Parents are invited to register their children and youth for the Parish School of Religion (PSR), First Communion, Post-First Communion and Confirmation classes after the Sunday Masses at the table near the statue of St. Procop.  Classes will begin in October.

CLASES DE LA DOCTRINA Y CONFIRMACIÓN:  Les invitamos a los padres para registrarse a los niños y a los jóvenes para las Clases de la Doctrina, Primera Comunión, Clases de Seguimiento después de Primera Comunión, y Confirmación después de las misas dominicales a la mesa de cerca de la estatua de San Procopio.  Las clases comenzarán en octubre. 

SHARE YOUR FAITH!  Invite your family members or friends who were not able to receive the Sacraments of Initiation as children to register for Adult Sacramental Preparation classes.  They will begin in the fall for Baptism, First Communion and/or Confirmation.  Stop by the catechists’ table near the St. Procop statue to pick up a registration form after the Sunday Masse

¡COMPARTEN SU FE! Invitan a sus parientes o amigos(as) quienes no han recibido los Sacramentos de Iniciación como niños para registrarse para las Clases de Preparación Sacramental de Adultos.   Van a comenzar en el otoño para el Bautismo, Primera Comunión y/o Confirmación.  Visitan la mesa de catequistas ubicada cerca de la estatua de San Procopio para sacar una hoja de inscripción después de las misas dominicales.
