Last Spring we announced that
after careful consideration by the diocese and the individual
parishes, St. Augustine would not be merging with St. Francis
Xavier. The Bishop did ask that we form an evangelization
committee, though, made up of members from both parishes to
collaborate on adult formation programs, community building,
and outreach to young Catholics. We would like to thank Evelyne Longchamp, Marie Corkhill and Sr. Ellen for being part
of this Evangelization Committee. We met this fall on September 26, October 23 and will meet again on Monday, November
26. If you have any ideas you would like to share with the
committee, please let one of us know.

Communion and Confirmation next Spring (2013) are invited

La primavera pasada anunciamos
que después de una cuidadosa consideración por la
diócesis y las parroquias individuales, San Agustín no se unirá
con San Francisco Javier. Sin embargo, el obispo si pidió que
formáramos un Comité de evangelización, compuesto por
miembros de ambas parroquias para colaborar en programas de
formación de adultos, creación de comunidad y actividades
para jóvenes católicos. Nos gustaría dar las gracias a Evelyne
Longchamp, Antonia Bueno, Maie Corkhill y Sor Ellen por ser
parte de este Comité de evangelización. Nos reunimos este otoño en el 9/26, 10/23 y nos reuniremos otra vez el 11/26. Si tienes alguna idea que le gustaría compartir con el Comité, por
favor de avisar a uno de nosotros.
Clases para niños y jóvenes después de las
Misas 9:00 a.m. y 10:30 a.m. Los niños y
jóvenes deben atender por lo menos a dos

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Uno de los santos más populares de la época medieval fue
el soldado húngaro conocido como Martín Caballero o
Martín de Tours (c. 315‑397). Esta popularidad se debió a su
biografía escrita por un discípulo, Sulpicio Severo. Su vida
fue el mejor ejemplo de santidad a través de varios siglos.
Contiene esta biografía muchos de los acontecimientos, enseñanzas y milagros de la vida del santo que fue soldado en el
ejército romano antes de su conversión. Muchos ignoran que
fue monje, misionero y obispo por muchos años.
Su imagen decora muchos almanaques latinoamericanos y
él continúa siendo un santo popular. La representación más
común de san Martín es la de un soldado romano sobre un
caballo que rasga su manto rojo a la mitad con una espada
para darle una parte a un pobre sentado a los pies del caballo.
Según su biografía, Martín hizo esto durante el proceso de su
conversión y resulta que el pobre limosnero se le aparece en
un sueño revelándose como Cristo mismo, ya que lo que un
cristiano hace por los pobres y marginados lo hace por Jesús.
