From the Desk of Fr. Charles
Desde el Escritorio del Padre Carlos
Today, I want to spend a little time talking about a few new
initiatives here at St. Alfred. First is our new 52 week Ace of
Spades raffle. This raffle comes as a replacement for our
annual Spring Big Raffle, the one with the $100 ticket. After
an extensive review by the fundraising committee, the recommendation was to drop the other raffle due to declining
sales and try a new raffle instead. I've been announcing it
the past few weeks, but now that it has started, the weekend announcements at Mass will end and word of mouth
will need to take over. I am counting on all of you to help
make this fundraiser a success, so let me give you the basics on the way the raffle is run, so you can explain to your
neighbors, friends, family and coworkers. Each week we
will sell tickets, after Mass, in the office and from businesses and parishioners who volunteer to help sell. The price of
a ticket is $1, all tickets sold since the last drawing thru the
current Thursday drawing are placed in a drum and one is
selected. The owner of that ticket, if present at the drawing, then selects one of the envelopes in the shadow box
on the wall. At the start of the raffle, 52 cards will be
sealed in separate envelopes, mixed up and secured to the
board in the shadow box. The winning card is the Ace of
Spades, if it is selected the person wins the jackpot, if not,
they get the consolation prize which starts at $50 and
moves up to $200 based on the size of the jackpot. I hope
this explains it well and you are all excited and ready, willing and able to help promote this to all of your acquaintances.
Hoy quiero pasar un poco de tiempo hablando acerca de
una nueva iniciativa aquí en San Alfredo. Primero, nuestra
primera Rifa de “As de Corazón Negro”. Esta rifa reemplaza
nuestra Gran Rifa de Primavera, la del boleto de $100. Después de ser revisada ampliamente por nuestro Comité de
Recaudación de Fondos, la recomendación fue de eliminar
la otra rifa debido la baja en las ventas y en su lugar tratar
una rifa nueva. Lo he estado anunciando los fines de semana, pero ahora que ha comenzado, ya no la voy a anunciar,
solo necesitamos pasar la voz. Estoy contando con todos
ustedes para que ésta recaudación de fondos sea un éxito,
así que déjenme explicarles lo básico de esta rifa, para que
se lo puedan explicar a sus vecinos, amigos, familia y compañeros de trabajo. Cada semana fin de semana venderemos boletos después de las Misas, en la oficina, en los negocios y cualquiera feligrés que quiera ayudar a vender. El
precio del boleto es de $1, todos los boletos vendidos son
colocados en una tómbola y se selecciona un boleto. El
dueño de ese boleto, si está presente durante el sorteo,
selecciona uno de los sobres localizado el marco expositor
de la pared. Al comienzo del sorteo, 52 cartas se sellarán
en sobres separados, revueltos y puestos en el marco expositor. La carta ganadora es el As de Corazón Negro, si la
persona lo selecciona, entonces gana el premio mayor, si
no, entonces gana el premio de consolación que comienza
con $50 hasta $200, dependiendo el tamaño del premio
mayor. Espero que esto lo explique bien y todos estén
emocionados y listos, dispuestos para ayudar a promover
esto con todos sus conocidos.
Now that we have finished the shrine for Our Lady, our
next big project is the moving to the paver stones from
over by the former play ground to in front of the church.
We are looking for volunteers to help remove them and
replace them, I ask any of you who are interested in helping to contact the office. We will be trying to find a weekend when the most people are available.
Finally, there have been many complaints to me lately
about the noise level in the church before and after Mass.
We need to remember that we are in a sacred place and
we need to respect it. Please keep conversations to a minimum and use a whisper if you need to speak.
Your servant in Christ,
Fr. Charles
Ahora que hemos terminado el santuario para Nuestra Señora, nuestro próximo proyecto es el de mover los ladrillos
del antiguo parque de juegos hacia el frente de la Iglesia.
Estamos buscando voluntarios para que nos ayuden a quitarlos y ponerlos en la entrada de la Iglesia, les pido que si
están interesados en ayudar, llamen a la oficina. Trataremos de encontrar un fin de semana cuando todos estén
disponibles.
Por último, me han llegado quejas acerca del ruido en la
Iglesia antes y después de las Misas. Necesitamos recordar
que estamos en un lugar sagrado y necesitamos respetarlo.
Por favor mantenga conversaciones al mínimo y utilice voz
baja si necesita hablar.
Su siervo en Cristo,
Padre Carlos

Preciosa’s Pointers
Hi everybody.... Daddy and I
were talking about words
this week and how they can
hurt or help. I think sometimes we forget that words
make others feel better or feel worse. Sometimes what we
try to say is ok, but the words we use make it bad. I know I
don't ever want to hurt someone's feelings, but sometimes
when I bark or growl at people playfully, they think I'm mad
and it makes them sad. I guess I know how that feels,
sometimes Laly yells at me, daddy never yells at me, yelling
hurts people's feelings . On the other hand, kind words
make others feel really good, it's almost as good as having
your tummy rubbed . When I see daddy is down, I go and
bark at him to make him feel better and then he picks me
up and rubs my tummy, so everybody wins. So,
let us all think about how we say things and try
and use happy words, not mean words, and then
everyone will be happier not sad. Well, keep
your paws dry and tummy full. Love Precious.
Puntos de Vista de Preciosa
Hola a todos… Mi papi y yo estábamos hablando acerca de
palabras y como éstas palabras pueden hacer sentir mal a
las personas o ayudarlas. Yo creo que algunas veces olvidamos que las palabras hacen a otras personas sentirse mejor
o sentirse peor. Algunas veces lo que tratamos de decir está bien, pero las palabras que usamos lo hacen ver mal. Yo
no quiero hacer sentir mal a nadie, pero algunas veces
cuando ladro o gruño jugando, piensan que estoy enojada y
los hago sentirse tristes. Yo sé como se siente, algunas veces Laly me grita; mi papi nunca me grita. Gritar hace a las
personas sentirse mal . Las palabras amables hacen que
otros se sientan muy bien, tan bien como cuando te soban
tu panza . Cuando veo que mi papi está triste, voy y le
ladro para hacerlo sentir mejor y después él me carga y me
soba la panza, así que todos ganamos. Piensen en como
dicen las cosas y traten de usar palabras felices, no palabras
feas, y así todos estarán felices y no tristes. Bueno, mantengan sus pies secos y su panza llena. Los ama Preciosa.
