Blessed New Year! from Fr. Alphonse & Fr. Francis,
Pastoral & Finance Councils & Parish Staff
The diocesan Respect Life Office will host its second Hearts for Life Conference for adults at St. John Catholic Center in Little Rock. This event, which will coincide with the Weekend for Life for high school youth, was created to offer participants pro-life speakers, time for prayer and inexpensive and convenient lodging prior to the eucharistic procession and Mass for Life on January 19, 2020.
The conference will be held from 1 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 18 to 9 a.m. Sunday, Jan. 19. The cost is $40 per person, which includes lodging, dinner Saturday evening and breakfast Sunday morning. The conference fee without overnight accommodation is only $20 per person. Children are welcome to attend with their parents. Special children’s activities will be provided. If you would like your children to attend, please call for a special family rate. The registration deadline is Jan. 10. However, space is limited. Please register early. Download and return the registration form found online at www.dolr.org with fee to Respect Life Office, 2500 N. Tyler St., Little Rock, AR 72207, or contact Catherine Phillips, Respect Life Director, at (501) 664-0340, ext. 326. Each year, the Mass for Life and related activities are held to mark the anniver-sary of the U.S. Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton decisions that legalized abortion in the United States in 1973. Throughout the events, Catholics statewide have the opportunity to come together and pray for an end to abortion and for all life, from conception to natural death, to be protected and respected.

HOME IS WHERE THE FAMILY IS The idea, dream, and reality of family is so strong and durable that we use it to describe all that is best about human gatherings. We speak of the family of nations, of our church and parish families. The greatest compliment we can pay a friend or gracious host is to say that we feel at home with them, we feel part of the family. Families are the first crucibles in which love is tested and tempered. Jesus himself was one of three people who lived in the shadow of each other. This family, like our own, did not always “get it right,” but they always tried to. These three “amateurs” were on holiday, and one of them got lost. Two were worried sick and took great measures to find the third, a boy after all, who was seeking the meaning of his calling. He found his vocation—to do his Father’s work—but he also returned home with his parents. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Prayer for Priests
Gracious and loving God, we thank you for the gift of our priests. Through them, we experience your presence in the sacraments. Help our priests to be strong in their vocation. Set their souls on fire with love for your people. Grant them the wisdom, understanding, and strength they need to follow in the footsteps of Jesus. Inspire them with the vision of your Kingdom. Give them the words they need to spread the Gospel. Allow them to experience joy in their ministry. Help them to become instruments of your divine grace. We ask this through Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns as our Eternal Priest. LADIES!
Mary’s Heart Group resumes Tuesday, January 7th, 12 p.m.

“Like Our Blessed Mother welcomed Jesus, we are called to cherish and protect the gift of human life, at every stage and in every circumstance.”

EN EL HOGAR ESTÁ LA FAMILIA La idea, el sueño y la realidad de lo que es familia es tan fuerte y perdurable que lo usamos para describir lo mejor de las relaciones humanas. Hablamos de una familia de naciones, de nuestra familia eclesial y parroquial. El mejor halago que podemos dar a un amigo o amable anfitrión es decirle que nos sentimos como en casa con su compañía, que nos sentimos parte de la familia. Las familias son el primer crisol en el que se prueba y se fortalece el amor. Jesús mismo fue una de tres personas que vivía a la sombra del otro. Esta familia, como la nuestra, no siempre “lo hacía todo bien”, pero siempre trataba. Estos tres amateurs celebraban un día de fiesta, y uno de ellos se perdió. Los otros dos se preocuparon bastante y se esforzaron grandemente para encontrar al tercero, un niño después de todo, que siempre buscaba el significado de su llamado. Encontró su vocación –hacer la obra del Padre– pero también volvió a casa con sus padres. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
