Dear Friends,
This past Thursday August 22, the Roman Catholic Church celebrated a memorial in honor of the Queenship of Mary. This memorial is an octave, that is, eight days after celebrating Mary’s Assumption into Heaven. We can consider the memorial as a prolonging of the celebration of the Assumption.
Lumen Gentium of Vatican II reaffirms authoritatively the doctrine of Mary's queenship: "When her earthly life was over," she was
"exalted by the Lord as Queen over all things, that she might be more fully conformed to her Son." (LG 59)
When Mary’s life journey ended, she was assumed body and soul into heaven and received for her faithfulness the “the crown of life.” (Rv 2:10b) Her queenship has universal significance because she has attained full communion with Christ and is a majestic icon of the Church as we move forward toward the Kingdom of God that is already here and is to be fully realized becoming “a new heaven and a new earth,” God’s dwelling, the state of being known as heaven, in which “there shall be no more death or mourning, wailing or pain.” (Rv 21:1; Rv 21:4) Mary Queen of HeavenPray for us!
Fr. Gino
Estados Amigos,
El pasado jueves 22 de agosto, la Iglesia Católica Romana celebró un memorial en honor a la Reina de María. Este monumento es una octava, es decir, ocho días después de celebrar la Asunción de María en el Cielo. Podemos considerar el monumento como una
prolongación de la celebración de la Asunción.
Lumen Gentium del Vaticano II reafirma con autoridad la doctrina de la reina de María: "Cuando su vida terrenal había terminado", fue "exaltada por el Señor como Reina sobre todas las cosas, para que pudiera estar más plenamente conformada a su Hijo". (LG 59) Cuando el viaje de la vida de María terminó, fue asumida en cuerpo y alma al cielo y recibió por su fidelidad "la corona de la vida." (Rv 2:10b) Su reina tiene un significado universal porque ha alcanzado la plena comunión con Cristo y es el icono majestuoso de la Iglesia a medida que avanzamos hacia el Reino de Dios que ya está aquí y debe ser plenamente realizado convirtiéndose en
"un cielo nuevo y una nueva tierra ," la morada de Dios, el estado de ser conocido como cielo, en el que "no habrá más muerte ni luto, lamento o dolor." (Rv 21:1; Rv 21:4) ¡María reina del cielo ora por nosotros!
Padre Gino
Newman Community,
On behalf of the NMSU Catholic Campus Ministry and Lunch Bunch; we extend our gratitude for the generous response of sponsorships received to provide free meals to students. We are able to offer over 400 free meals! This is great for both the students and for Lunch Bunch to become well known on campus. Thank you, once again. This would not have been possible without this giving parish.
Blessings Always,
Renee Baca, NMSU Catholic Campus Minister Bonnie Benedetti, Lunch Bunch Coordinator

.
With the six tasks in mind, parents are reminded that each grade holds a special purpose in the full religious formation of
our children. In Kindergarten our goal is socializing our children into the faith, setting the foundation for future years and is part of the Pre-Sacrament Preparation for First Reconciliation and First Eucharist. First Grade is considered First Reconciliation 1 so that children are ready for the sacrament in grade 2 – First Reconciliation Preparation. Instruction in
grades 1 and 2 are essential and the Diocese requires that children engage in two years of preparation for First Eucharist in third grade. Finally, grades 4 and 5 allows us to further establish our children’s role in the church; teaching them how they can participate in the mass in preparation for confirmation.
Religious Education Reminder ±Don’t forget to register your children for religious education. Our first class is September 8 (Sunday class) or September 9 (Monday classes). We will be closing registration on August 25, 2016.Visit our Newman Parish website (https://www.stalbertnewmancenter.org/) and select the Faith Formation tab.
