A Message From Father Alan
Dear Pelican Valley ACC,

This weekend we have a rarity with the celebration of The Dedication of the Lateran Basilica on a Sunday. This is the pope's own cathedral for the diocese of Rome, of which he is "bishop" and as such it is considered the "mother" of all Christian churches. When I was in Rome a couple years ago I concelebrated with priests from all over the world at the 1,700th anniversary Mass of this basilica and it was the most glorious celebration ever, I felt! It is of course a magnificent building with a rich and storied history. Yet the best perspective of this feast is that it points to all of us, the spiritual temple, housing the living faith and the Spirit handed down to us through the ages by other people of faith. Now that is rather glorious to consider too! In parish life and in our All Things New diocesan planning process we continue to live out what has been given to us, the gift of faith, and we continue to pray for wisdom and courage for the Bishop and all the people of our diocese as we address some of the signs of our times with too few priests for all of the parishes that must be served.  One of our positive responses has been more fervent prayer for priesthood and religious vocations! There are signs that the Holy Spirit is a-moving and doing great things among us. Have a wonderful week and don't forget Turkey Bingo is happening Saturday, November 15 at St. Elizabeth!


Blessings,

Fr. Alan

Estimado ACC de Pelican Valley:

Este fin de semana tenemos una ocasión excepcional: la celebración de la Dedicación de la Basílica de Letrán en domingo. Esta es la catedral del Papa para la diócesis de Roma, de la cual es obispo, y como tal, se la considera la iglesia madre de todas las iglesias cristianas. Hace un par de años, cuando estuve en Roma, concelebré con sacerdotes de todo el mundo la misa del 1700 aniversario de esta basílica, ¡y fue la celebración más gloriosa que jamás haya vivido! Es, sin duda, un edificio magnífico con una historia rica y llena de leyendas. Sin embargo, la mejor perspectiva de esta fiesta es que nos señala a todos nosotros, el templo espiritual que alberga la fe viva y el Espíritu que nos ha sido transmitido a través de los siglos por otros creyentes. ¡Sin duda, es algo realmente glorioso en lo que pensar! En la vida parroquial y en nuestro proceso de planificación diocesana "Todo Nuevo", seguimos viviendo el don de la fe que se nos ha dado, y continuamos orando por sabiduría y fortaleza para el Obispo y toda la gente de nuestra diócesis, mientras afrontamos algunos de los problemas de nuestro tiempo, como la escasez de sacerdotes para todas las parroquias que debemos atender. Una de nuestras respuestas positivas ha sido una oración más ferviente por el sacerdocio y las vocaciones religiosas. Hay señales de que el Espíritu Santo se está moviendo y haciendo grandes cosas entre nosotros. ¡Que tengan una semana maravillosa! Y recuerden: ¡el Bingo del Pavo se llevará a cabo el sábado 15 de Noviembre en Santa Isabel!


Bendiciones,

Padre Alan
