ALIVIO A LOS SOBREVIVIENTES DEL TSUNAMI
Se está llevando a cabo el esfuerzo de ayuda más grande del mundo para uno de los actos de naturaleza más devastadores en la historia. Pedimos a los miembros de nuestra parroquia se unan a este esfuerzo. Estamos muy conscientes de la inmensidad de esta tragedia.
La Arquidiócesis de Chicago está sugiriendo que todos aquellos que deseen ofrecer su asistencia a las víctimas en las partes mas afectadas de India, Sri Lanka y Tailandia consideren hacerlo a través de los Servicios Católicos de Ayuda, los cuales han prometido $25 millones en asistencia.
Los Servicios Católicos de Ayuda fueron creados por los obispos de los Etados Unidos en 1944 para ofrecer cuidado inmediato para aquellos quienes serían dejados como refugiados en Europa una vez que la Segunda Guerra Mundial llegó a su termino. Desde entonces sirve como la rama de asistencia internacional de los Católicos en este país.
Los Servicios de Alivio Católicos proveerán comida, agua, cuidado y medicinas para la prevención de enfermedades a las áreas arriba mencionadas. Estas serán despues distribuídas por los Servicios Católicos de Ayuda a través de las Caridades Católicas locales en esas áreas, las cuales han determinado las necesidades del área y las rutas para transportar la ayuda.
Aqui esta como usted puede unirse a este esfuerzo
Nosotros enviaremos una donación de nuestra Parroquia. Habrá una segunda colecta el fin de semana de Enero 29 y 30 para este trabajo de asistencia. No habrá sobre para esta colecta. Si usted desea contribuír individualmente, puede enviar su donación a traves de la Arquidiócesis:

FAIR TRADE GOURMET COFFEE SALE
9 to 10 a.m. Saturday January 29 in the Guild Hall (during Market Day pick-up)
Coffee is big business, and, alas, it is often not kind to the farmers whose product is at the center of the business. When you use Fair Trade coffee, you support lives of dignity for the farmers whose products you are purchasing.
The Queen of Angels Peace and Justice Committee will offer a limited amount of Fair Trade Coffee for sale from 9 to 10 a.m. Saturday, January 29 at the Guild Hall. Twelve-ounce bags of Fair Trade coffee will be available for purchase for $6.50 each. Choose from organic breakfast blend, medium roast, whole bean; organic breakfast blend medium roast, ground; or organic decaf Colombian, ground. Come early and buy while supplies last! Serve up a cup of justice when you join in fellowship with others.
To learn more about fair trade, visit the parish peace and justice website at www.peaceandjusticechicago.com or visit Catholic Relief Services Coffee Project website at www.crsfairtrade.org.
VENTA DE CAFÉ DE PRODUCIDO EN INTERCAMBIO JUSTO
29 de enero de 9AM a 10AM en el Guild Hall
El café es un gran negocio, más, a veces, es un negocio que no beneficia a los obreros que lo producen. Cuando Ud. toma café producido a través de intercambio justo, está apoyando la dignidad de vida de los obreros que producen el café que Ud. está comprando.
El Comité de Justicia y Paz ofrecerá una venta, por tiempo limitado, de café obtenido a través de intercambio justo, el 29 de enero de 9AM a 10AM en el Guild Hall. Bolsas de 12 oz de café disponible para la venta por $6.50.
