Giving to Our Sister Parish in Chimbote
-
2020 was a year when Chimbote was devastated by COVID and several months of lockdown, yet our donations from last winter stretched a long way. We will be holding our Annual Homes Collection this weekend (Feb. 27th & 28th). If you’d like to make a donation that makes a huge difference, consider any of the items on this list (see image). Even if you pay for a simple bed or dresser you give two gifts. One is new furniture for a family with nothing. The other is work for the carpenters who have been out of work most of this year.

Our Latest COVID-19 Updates:

Update Regarding Covid Vaccines: As vaccines for Covid are becoming more readily available, I’ve been hearing more and more information and misinformation regarding the Church’s position on whether it is morally acceptable to receive a vaccine that has any association with abortion. Regarding vaccines in general, many have been developed either using a line of stem cells that date back to abortions in the early 1970’s or have used that line of stem cells in testing the vaccine. For Catholics, it is best to avoid any vaccine that has any association with abortion. However, often there are no vaccines to choose from that don’t have some association.
Perhaps the most helpful article I’ve seen on this was published by the Catholic Spirit in its December 10th edition. Must Catholics refuse a Covid-19 vaccine made with a cell line from an abortion? was written by Father Tadeusz Pacholczyk, one of the outstanding experts on moral questions such as this in this country. There was also a very helpful presentation by Fr. Tad hosted on radio by Pro-Life Action Ministries. The U.S. Bishop Chairmen for Doctrine and for Pro-Life addressed the use of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine in a recent statement.
While I called attention to the original article back in December, my reason for writing again is that the Johnson and Johnson vaccine will soon be available. The basic position of the Church has been that Catholics should make a special effort to avoid vaccines developed using stems cell lines resulting from abortions. While the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines still are morally problematic in that testing was done using those stem cell lines, the Johnson and Johnson vaccine was developed and produced using an
abortion-derived stem cell line.
In the article and the radio presentation, Fr. Tad stated (consistent with statements from the Vatican and the US Bishops) that if a Catholic has no other choice and there is serious risk to one’s health, they could morally accept such a vaccine. However, it is better to avoid the J&J vaccine if possible. He also suggested that all Catholics have an obligation to raise their objection to the continuing practice of using abortion tainted stem cell lines in the development and/or testing of vaccines of any kind

Please DO call to let us know about urgent matters especially requests for the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick. Fr. Tom will remain available for emergencies as always but will have to observe protocols established by hospitals and senior care facilities. For the very short term, we have asked lay ministers not to visit the sick and homebound out of concern for everyone’s safety.
