===== Christmas Appeal

Posted on Nov 29, 2024 in Events, Give, HomePage, Uncategorized |

Christmas Giving Message

As we prepare to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, let us remember the angel’s joyful proclamation:

“But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid.
I bring you good news that will cause great
joy for all the people. Today in the town of
David a Savior has been born to you; he is the
Messiah, the Lord.'” (Luke 2:10-11)

This season, I invite you to join us in a special Christmas Appeal to support Transfiguration Parish and our mission of faith, service, and community. Your contributions make it possible to sustain our ministries, care for our sacred spaces, and provide outreach to those in need.

Here are two meaningful ways you can help this Season:

1) Make a Special Christmas Offering

Your financial gift helps ensure that we can continue providing spiritual nourishment and outreach to our community. Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a lasting impact. For online gifting, visit

https://www.givecentral.org/location/86/event/2250

2) Share Your Time and Talents
If you’re interested in making a meaningful impact, we would greatly appreciate your support with parish events, ministries, or outreach programs. Visit our website to discover volunteer opportunities. Here is our Ministry Listing Page:

https://www.transfigurationwauconda.com/service/ministry-listing/

May the peace and joy of Christmas fill your hearts this season. You remain in my prayers, and I humbly ask that you keep me in yours as well.

Yours in Christ,
Rev. Juan Pablo Avila Ibarra

===== Advent Message Series

Posted on Nov 1, 2024 in Devotions, Education, Events, HomePage, Liturgy, Uncategorized |

An Advent Series to deepen hope and expectation.

A promise fills us with anticipation. It offers hope for the future and gives us something to look forward to. For a promise to inspire hope, we need clarity on what is being offered and trust in its fulfillment.

The Christmas season is rich with promises. But what is the true promise of Christmas? What should we anticipate during this season and beyond?

Without a clear understanding of what Christmas genuinely promises, we risk missing out on its true meaning and the expectations we can have of God throughout the year.

In this four-week series we will look at the Promise of Christmas and the expectations we can have for it.

Join Us and Uncover the True Promise of Christmas!

Week One – Promise of a Ruler

Week Two- Promise of Coming Home

Week Three- Promise of Joy

Week Four- Promise of Peace

*****Advent Faith Group Sharing Opportunities*****

Daily reflections can be found on our Facebook page OR delivered to your inbox through Flocknote (sign up here).

DONA UNA PINATA PARA NUESTRA POSADA PARRQUIAL

¿Qué significan la piñata de 7 picos?

Los siete picos de la piñata son el símbolo de los siete pecados capitales, los cuales cada persona debe destruir con los ojos vendados —para hacer alusión a que la fe es ciega—, además, la persona se ayudará de un palo para, con fuerza, derribar los siete picos y así terminar con las tentaciones.

Los siete pecados son la pereza, la gula, la envidia, la ira, la lujuria, la avaricia y la soberbia.

Además, las frutas y dulces que integran las piñatas representan la riqueza del reino de los cielos cuando vencemos los pecados capitales.

REGALANOS UNA NOCHEBUENA

DONA el valor de una Nochebuena y ayúdanos a embellecer nuestro Altar para Navidad.

Por tu donación ofreceremos 2 misas por tus difuntos el 4 de enero a las 6pm y el 5 de enero a las 10am.

===== Ministry of Prayer

Posted on Mar 4, 2024 in Events, Liturgy, Uncategorized |

We know that life can be challenging and the only thing that may help to get you back to center is Prayer. We believe very strongly in the power of Prayer. This belief and knowing comes from seeing or hearing about the many demonstrations or testimonies in the lives of people around the world.

At the end of weekend Masses the Transfiguration Ministry of Prayer will be in the front of the Church to pray for you or someone you love and care for.
Please know that each Minister of Transfiguration Ministry of Prayer commits to holding your intentions in the light of Christ, standing in Truth, Principle and Love. Prayer is the tool we use to know the truth. It is not about begging or pleading for something to happen to change the conditions in life. It is about aligning ourselves with the all good of God that surrounds us at all times. Every request we receive is treated with love, compassion, respect and dignity.

More than ever I find myself
in the hands of God.
This is what I have wanted all my life from my youth.

But now there is a difference;
the initiative is entirely with God.
It is indeed a profound spiritual experience to know
and feel myself so totally in God’s hands.
– Pedro Arrupe, S.J.

===== 2024 Annual Catholic Appeal

Posted on Feb 1, 2024 in Events, Give, Uncategorized |

Our parish is conducting our campaign for the Annual Catholic Appeal. Please remember that the Annual Catholic Appeal is much different than a one-time special collection. It is a pledge campaign where you can make a gift payable in installments. The new Annual Catholic Appeal theme, “Together at the table,” is an important theme as we prayerfully consider our support for the Appeal but also important for embracing the life that the Lord wants us to live.

Each pledge makes a difference! All parish communities participate in the campaign and the gifts of many enable our parishes, schools and ministries to deliver needed services. Thank you for your prayerful consideration and generous response.

To make your gift, you can complete the mail-in giving envelope available at church or make a gift online at
https://www.annualcatholicappeal.com.

===== Sunday Stewardship

Posted on Jan 31, 2024 in Events, Give, Liturgy, Uncategorized |

“As you go, make this proclamation:
‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’”

-Matthew 10:7

Many of us take our lives for granted. We think we have plenty of time to “repent.” Maybe we should live with a little more urgency in making things right with God. This is the difference in living our discipleship out of obligation versus out of love.
Obligation implies we do the minimum required. Love implies we want a relationship. God wants us to be with Him in Heaven forever, but He also wants to be in relationship with us right now, while we are on earth. Start this second – invite the Lord into your heart.

Thank you!

===== Online Evening Prayer

WE DID IT! WE REACHED OUR PLEDGE GOAL!

A huge thank you to all parishioners who have fulfilled/or are in the process of fulfilling their pledges to the Improvement Fund. We want every parishioner to know that we have opened a separate account at our local bank in which we are keeping all Improvement Fund donations. This money is not used for general parish expenses and is strictly used for any building/equipment repairs that we have not budgeted for.

If you have not pledged yet or you would like to continue contributing to this fund, please use your blue Improvement Fund envelopes or Give Central. We can build this
account up for any future repairs.

Thank you for all that you do for our Transfiguration Community! With your generous donations these are the projects we have completed and paid for:

   New Church Boiler $43,965
   School Elevator Repair $38,023
   New Hymnals $13,125
   OWC Chimney Repair $5,000
   Church Pumps Repair $4,665
             Total = $104,778

The total donations/pledges received since the campaign began in March 2023 is $102,236. The total due from parishioners still fulfilling their pledges is $11,723. The total due from 30 parishioners who filled out a pledge card and have not made a payment is $3,585. Hoping we can collect this additional $15,308 from our initial pledge drive.
