A Message From Father Alan

Sunday, November 15, 2026

Dear Members of the Pelican Valley ACC,

We are nearing the end of the Church's liturgical year, with the Solemnity of Christ the King next Sunday, and the first Sunday of Advent (the beginning of the "new year") the following Sunday, November 29. This time on the Church calendar always has a little more serious tone, with our remembrance of the dead and remembering our own mortality.


The American holiday sandwiched in at this time, Thanksgiving, also lends an appropriate spirit of gratitude. We are grateful for God, who is with us always, in life and in death, in peace and at war, in prosperity and poverty.


As Pope Leo is reminding leaders of the world in his visit to South America, God is especially near to the poor and marginalized and is always calling leaders and all of us to be more aware of the needs of others and to do more to help and not hurt them.


It really starts with the beautiful customs highlighted at this time of year, of giving to the food shelf, contributing to various collections that help others, the Salvation Army Kettle, and their other special projects such as the Advent Angel tree, and remembering the Church and our favorite charities in our holiday gift giving.


May we show love and honor to Christ the King and Christ in one another and those who are poor throughout this beautiful time of the year.


God bless you, Father Alan

Estimados miembros del ACC de Pelican Valley:

Nos acercamos al final del año litúrgico de la Iglesia: el próximo domingo celebraremos la Solemnidad de Cristo Rey, y el domingo siguiente, 29 de noviembre, será el primer domingo de Adviento (el comienzo del «nuevo año»). Esta etapa del calendario eclesiástico siempre posee un tono un poco más serio, al invitar a recordar a los difuntos y a reflexionar sobre nuestra propia mortalidad.


La festividad estadounidense que tiene lugar en esta época, el Día de Acción de Gracias, aporta además un espíritu muy apropiado de gratitud. Estamos agradecidos a Dios, quien permanece siempre a nuestro lado: en la vida y en la muerte, en la paz y en la guerra, en la prosperidad y en la pobreza.


Como el Papa recuerda a los líderes mundiales durante su visita a Sudamérica, Dios está especialmente cerca de los pobres y marginados; Él nos llama constantemente —a los líderes y a todos nosotros— a ser más conscientes de las necesidades ajenas, a esforzarnos por ayudar al prójimo y a evitar cualquier acción que pueda causarle daño.


Todo esto comienza, en realidad, a través de las hermosas costumbres propias de esta época: colaborar con los bancos de alimentos, participar en diversas colectas solidarias, apoyar iniciativas como las campañas del Ejército de Salvación o el «Árbol de los Ángeles» de Adviento, y tener presente a la Iglesia y a nuestras organizaciones benéficas preferidas al realizar nuestros regalos durante estas fechas.


Que, a lo largo de este hermoso tiempo, sepamos mostrar amor y honor a Cristo Rey, reconociendo a Cristo en los demás, especialmente en los más pobres.


Que Dios los bendiga, Padre Alan
