And in the consecrated life we live the encounter between the young and the old, between observation and prophecy. Let s not see these as two opposing realities! Let us rather allow the Holy Spirit to animate both of them, and a sign of this is joy: the joy of observing, of walking within a rule of life; the joy of being led by the Spirit, never unyielding, never closed, always open to the voice of God that speaks, that opens, that leads us and invites us to go toward the horizon. ~ Pope Francis, Homily for the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord on the 18 th World Day of Consecrated Life, Rome (February 2, 2014). Y en la vida consagrada vivimos el encuentro entre los jovenes y los ancianos, entre la observación y la profecía. Que no veamos estos como realidades opuestas! En vez de esto, que permitamos el Espíritu Santo a animar los dos, y un signo de esto es alegría: la alegría de observar y caminar con una regla de vida; la alegría de ser guiado del Espíritu Santo, nunca inflexible, nunca cerrado, siempre abierto a la voz de Dios que habla, que abre, que nos guía y nos invita a seguir hacia el horizonte. ~ Papa Francisco, Homilía para la Presentación del Señor en el Día Mundial 18 de la Vida Consagrada, 5

The second class will be scheduled with Deacon Michael at the conclusion of the first class. Please note: Deacon Michael, after consulting with our Pastor, Fr. Fred Le- Claire, has the authority to determine that more than two classes are necessary before Baptism can occur. Children who are older than 7, must attend CIC classes, and according to Canon Law, cannot be Baptized as an "infant." Those wishing to serve as Godparents are also required to attend Baptismal Preparation classes. If the Godparents do not live in the tri-city area, they are required to attend classes according to the policy of their local Diocese, and to provide a letter of completion of the classes to the church office BE- FORE your child's Baptism can be scheduled. Godparents MUST be: a PRACTICING Catholic (registered in a parish and attending Mass faithfully), 16 years of age or older, Have received the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and First Eucharist and if married, MUST be married in the Catholic Church. If you are Baptizing your child, or serving as a Godparent in another Catholic Church, a letter of permission will only be written after you have completed the requirements as listed above. Baptismal Preparation Classes in Spanish are offered every other month. Contact Jenny in the Church office for more information and to register for the classes. Baptisms will not be scheduled until all required paperwork has been completed and is on file in the office! 9
