Many ofour parishioners have received a mailing from Cardinal George. He asks that you make a pledge to the 2014 Annual Catholic Appeal. Please respond generously. The Appeal supports both parish and Archdiocesan ministries. The Appeal funds services that are of great help to ministries here in our parish. This year, the theme of the Appeal is: You are the temple of God. We are living temples of God and carry His true presence into the world. He calls us to share our gifts with others. As we contemplate His gifts to us, we should also reflect on our gratitude for these gifts. Your financial support for the work our parish, of our Archdiocese and of the Church throughout the world is, in fact, one way to express our gratitude. As you review the mailing from Cardinal George, please note the ministries and services funded by the Appeal, including the ones that directly support the work of our parish. Then please give generously. Note that when our parish reaches its goal in pledges, 100% of the additional funds received will be returned to us for use in our parish.

Page 6 6th Sunday In Ordinary Time Raising Faith Filled Kids OneWordataTime Criando hijos creyentes unapalabraala vez Appreciate Valorar Parents set the climate in the home, whether warm and welcoming or icy and aloof. Ap preciate is a word that holds great meaning for parents as they seek to establish a healthy atmosphere for their children. Do you ap preciate each of your children for the person he or she is? Do you show appreciation for the contributions each child makes to the life of the family? Do you help your child appreciate the gift of faith the family has been given and help it deepen and grow? Every human being wants to be seen and appreciated for the person he or she is. Give your children that gift each day by recognizing their gifts, encouraging their interests and skills, and appreciating their unique and God given personalities. In prayer, experience how God appreciates you! Tom McGrath Los padres de familia establecen el clima del hogar, ya sea cálido y acogedor o frío y distante. Valorar es una palabra que tiene un gran sig nificado para los padres que buscan crear un ambiente saludable para sus hijos. Valora usted a cada uno de sus hijos por la persona que es? Muestra apreciación por los aportes que cada uno hace a la vida familiar? Ayuda a sus hijos a valorar el don de la fe que ha recibido la familia, a profundizar en ella y ha cerla crecer? Cada ser humano desea ser visto y valorado por la persona que es. Dé a sus hijos ese regalo cada día, reconociendo sus dones, fomentando sus intereses y habilidades y valorando sus personalidades únicas otorgadas por Dios. En la oración, experimente la manera en que Dios lo/la valora a usted!
