St. John Neumann Catholic Church  

Estimados Feligreses, durante nuestro reciente tiempo de confinamiento, ha evolucionado la necesidad de permanecer conectados con nuestra comunidad parroquial. Aunque tenemos la esperanza de que todos podremos regresar pronto a nuestros servicios de fin de semana, siempre habrá feligreses confinados en casa por alguna razón: recuperándose de una cirugía, un tratamiento, una caída, el cuidado de un miembro de la familia que no se puede dejar solo, etc.

 Por estas razones el Padre Pedroza, de acuerdo con los Consejos Pastoral y de Finanzas, están promoviendo la compra e instalación de un “Equipo Audio-Visual” para la iglesia principal. Eso nos permitirá ver cualquier celebración litúrgica desde nuestros hogares: Misa de sábado o domingo, Misa sacramental, Triduo de Cuaresma, Instalación o regreso de ACTS, obra de la Virgen de Guadalupe, nuestros matachines, y mucho más que, lamentablemente, algunos feligreses no pueden asistir. Esto no pretende de ninguna manera reemplazar la asistencia física para aquellos de nosotros afortunados de poder atender en persona; esto es una forma de comunicación para incluir  aquellos que no pueden estar presentes físicamente.

Afortunadamente, algunos donantes ya han contribuido, pero seguimos pendientes por la cantidad de $ 5,000.00. Si desea donar a este proyecto, puede hacerlo de una de estas tres formas:
• Lleve su donación a la oficina parroquial estipulando que es para el "Equipo Audio-Visual.”
• Llame a Lily Castillo, Presidenta del Consejo Pastoral, al 956-740-6968 para hacer arreglos.
• Deposite en la cuenta e-give en el sitio web de St. John Neumann en www.sjneumannlaredo.org./give y escoja la opción “Audio Visual Equipment.”
 
Con la ayuda de Dios y sus donaciones, podremos hacer realidad este proyecto para fines de septiembre. ¡Quién sabe hasta dónde llegarán nuestros esfuerzos de EVANGELIZACIÓN! Gracias por considerar un donativo hacia este proyecto.

Los Concilios de Finanzas y Pastoral

Dear Parishioners, during our recent time of confinement, awareness evolved regarding our need to remain connected to our parish community! Although we are hopeful all of us can return soon to our weekend services, there will always be parishioners homebound for one reason or another: recovering from a surgery, a treatment, a fall, a family member that cannot be left alone, etc.
 Therefore, Father Pedroza, along with the Finance and Pastoral Councils, is promoting the   purchase and installation of Audio-Visual Equipment for the main church. That will allow us to view any liturgical celebration: Saturday or Sunday Mass, a sacramental Mass, a Lenten Triduum, an ACTS Installation or ACTS Testimonial Mass, a Virgen de Guadalupe play, our matachines, and so much more that unfortunately, some parishioners unable to witness. This is not intended in any way to replace physical attendance for those of us fortunate enough to be able to do so; instead, this is a way of reaching out to those who cannot be present physically.
Thankfully, some donors have already contributed, but we remain outstanding in the amount of $5,000.00. If you wish to donate to this project, you can do so in one of three ways:

• Take your donation to the parish office stipulating that it is for the “Audio-Visual Equipment.”
• Call Lily Castillo, Pastoral Council Chair, at 956-740-6968, to make arrangements.
• Deposit in the e-give account on the St. John Neumann website at www.sjneumannlaredo.org./give  and select “Audio-Visual Equipment” as the option for your donation.

With God’s help, and your donations, we can make this project a reality by the end of September. Who knows how far our EVANGELIZATION efforts will reach! Thank you for considering a donation.

In service to Christ,

 We will be registering new and returning students for Faith Formation throughout the month of July and August 2020.  All registrations are due on August 31, 2020.  You will find the registration forms on our website from the diocese or our own website for St. John Neumann.  Please fill out both forms one for the faith formation program and the other for the parish.  When you have completed them, please bring them into the office.  For those parents that cannot print them out, please collect the forms from the office. 
  
Students that have excessive absences from September 17, 2020 to March 10, 2020 will be repeating the first year of formation both Holy Communion and Confirmation.  The students who have good attendance but need to finish their book have until August 31, 2020 to turn in their completed book to Miss Rodriguez.  Again this pertains to both Holy Communion and Confirmation students.

 Miss Rodriguez will be posting the date for you to pick up the new students’ book for this coming year and calendar of classes. At that time, we will be asking for a $50.00 fee to cover the book and materials.   The first semester from September to December, the students will be homeschool.  During the second semester, we will be having in person classes.  There will be two classes on line for the older students.  The second semester begins in January and ends I May.  Thank you very much for your cooperation during this trying time.  If you have any questions, please call me at extension 13. Thank you.  

 
                                                                           Sincerely in Christ,
