Holy Family Parishioners,

The gospel this week is the Parable of the Talents.

In the story, Jesus tells his disciples about a master

giving gifts to his servants. The master expects his

servants to make good use of these gifts while he

goes on a journey. I think you know what happens.

Two of the servants do well, and increase their

gifts, while the third buries his in the dirt. The

master comes home and praises the first two

servants; the third he “casts into the darkness

outside.” What is going on here? Let’s identify

some of the people in the story. The master is God,

we are the servants. The gifts God gives to us are

virtues, such as faith, hope, mercy, and love. The

third servant gets into trouble because he receives

virtues from God and does nothing with them. In a

2017 homily on this parable, Bishop Robert Barron

said that “Things from God are meant to be gifts. If

we cling to them, they wither away.” Not only are

virtues gifts from God to us, but we need to “regift”

virtue by sharing it with others. Because God

shows us mercy, we should be merciful to others.

Sharing these gifts increases them. Bishop Barron

says, “Faith won’t grow unless you give it away.”

We can deepen our faith by sharing it with other

people. How does this happen? Has anyone ever

asked you a Catholic question that you didn’t know

the answer to? What did you do? When I am in this

situation, I go, find out the answer, and bring it back

to the person. Evangelization is the scary word that

means to share our faith. The third servant did not

increase his gift because he was afraid. St. John

Paul II tells us, “Do not be afraid. Do not be

satisfied with mediocrity. Put out into the deep and

let down your nets for a catch.” Most of you who

are reading this are lay people. Our mission as laity

is to walk with the culture and to teach the truth with

love. This is a difficult task, but not an impossible

one. The human heart is wired for God. At each

man’s center, even the most inflexible atheist, is a

hunger for God. This is our encouragement: the

culture is yearning for something, and we know

what it is.

In the first reading, from Proverbs, as well as in the

Psalm, we hear more about fear. But this fear is not

the one experienced by the third servant. The fear

we hear about in the Psalm and in Proverbs is a

virtue called “fear of the Lord.” Sometimes called

“wonder and awe,” this virtue is one of the seven

Gifts of the Holy Spirit, which are received in the

Sacrament of Confirmation. Fear of the Lord isn’t

being scared of God; it’s understood as possessing

a feeling of amazement before God and desiring to

be in relationship with him.

In preparation to receive the Sacrament of

Confirmation, the eighth grade students have been

working on completing their service hours. On

November 7

th

, 18 students, assisted by their

parents, a catechist, and a handful of young adults,

raked the leaves of 22 parishioners. Their work was

greatly appreciated by the parish community. I

would like to especially thank the parents,

catechist, and young adults for their example,

which shows that service is not an obligation to be

fulfilled before receiving Confirmation—it’s part of

the Christian lifestyle and an important expression

of evangelization.

I cannot believe what a beautiful fall we’re having!

I hope you and your family are healthy and joyful!

In Christ,

Meredith

Fellow members of Holy Family Parish!

A blessed Solemnity of the Baptism of the Lord!

With today’s feast, the liturgical season of Christmas comes

full-circle. We have celebrated God’s infinite love for the

world, His desire to be visible and personal for us, and His

desire to save us. Christmas showed us how Jesus enters

and saves Marriage and the Family by being born into the

marriage of Mary and Joseph. He then offered salvation to

the children of Israel in the arrival of the shepherds. Last

Sunday, we celebrated Christ as God’s light to all the

nations, represented by the Magi. Today we celebrate the

Baptism of Christ, not just as a historical memory, but as a

reminder that we first encountered Christ when we were

baptized.

When he baptized Jesus, John the Baptist showed some

reluctance before agreeing to baptize. Jesus was not a

sinner and had no need to undergo a bath of repentance.

Jesus was like us in all things, except sin. At His Baptism,

Jesus entered the waters so that there, and at our time for

Baptism, He would be able to cleanse us of our sins. Jesus

was not baptized for Himself, but for us.

In Baptism we entered into the Baptism of Jesus, and also

into His dying and rising. St Paul wrote: “Are you unaware

that we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized

into his death? We were indeed buried with him through

baptism into death, so that just as Christ was raised from

the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might live in

newness of life. For if we have grown into a union with Him

through a death like His, we shall also be united with Him in

the resurrection.” (Rom 6:3-5).

The Catechism of the Catholic Church reminds us that

Baptism affects us in three very important ways: 1) All our

sins are washed away, including Original Sin. Baptism

separates us from the old sin of Adam. 2) We are united to

the faithfulness of Jesus. We are made new in Christ, We

become children of God and temples of the Holy Spirit.

3) We become members of the Body of Christ, the Church

(CCC ## 1262-1270).

The grace we receive in Baptism is renewed and

strengthened in the Sacrament of the Eucharist. The

Sacrament of Confirmation completes our new identity in

Christ and seals us with the Holy Spirit, Who empowers us

to do good works as Church members and in the name of

Jesus.

When Jesus was baptized, it also marked the beginning of

His public ministry. This too relates to us in our relationship

with Him. At the Lord’s Baptism, the Spirit descended upon

Him. The Father’s voice from heaven declared “You are my

beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.” At His Baptism,

with the Spirit’s anointing, the Father revealed Jesus as the

Messiah Who came to save the world and establish God’s

Kingdom.

Baptism incorporates us into Christ, so that we share in His

three-fold mission as Priest, Prophet and King. God wants

us all to live as His beloved children, with whom He is well

pleased. When we do so, as members of Christ’s Body, the

Church, we continue the work of Jesus. In His priesthood,

we pray and make sacrifices for the love of God and others.

As prophets, we share His Gospel of truth. Sharing in His

Kingship, we try to influence others and help them grow in

God’s grace. According to the gifts given us by the Holy

Spirit we do this, each in our own way.

Looking back to Christmas, we see how the invisible God

entered the world because He wanted to be visible to us

and save us. Celebrating the Baptism of the Lord, we now

think about how we can make Christ visible to others

through lives that are faithful to Him.

Just as His Baptism marked the beginning of His public

ministry, we can ask God to help us discern how we are

called to carry on the work of Jesus by the grace of our

Baptism. In coming weeks, the readings will remember how

Jesus called his first disciples, whom he trained to continue

His work, and whom he would command “Go, therefore, and

make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name

of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,

teaching them to observe all I have commanded you” (Mt:

28: 19-20). For us a good question can be “What is my

public ministry for Jesus?”

Sincerely,

Fr. George

SCRIPTURE READINGS FOR THE BAPTISM OF THE LORD

READING I IS 42:1-4, 6-7

Thus says the LORD:

Here is my servant whom I uphold, my chosen one with whom

I am pleased, upon whom I have put my spirit; he shall bring

forth justice to the nations, not crying out, not shouting, not

making his voice heard in the street, a bruised reed he shall

not break, and a smoldering wick he shall not quench, until he

establishes justice on the earth; the coastlands will wait for his

teaching. I, the LORD, have called you for the victory of

justice, I have grasped you by the hand; I formed you, and set

you as a covenant of the people, a light for the nations, to

open the eyes of the blind, to bring out prisoners from

confinement, and from the dungeon, those who live in

darkness.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM PS 29:1-2, 3-4, 3, 9-10

R. The Lord will bless his people with peace.

Give to the Lord, you sons of God, give to the Lord glory and

praise, Give to the Lord the glory due his name; adore the Lord in

holy attire.

R. The Lord will bless his people with peace.

The voice of the Lord is over the waters, the Lord, over vast

waters. The voice of the Lord is mighty; the voice of the Lord is

majestic.

R. The Lord will bless his people with peace.

The God of glory thunders, and in His temple all say “Glory!” The

Lord is enthroned above the flood; the Lord is enthroned as King

forever.

R. The Lord will bless his people with peace.

READING 2 ACTS 10:34-38

Peter proceeded to speak to those gathered in the house of

Cornelius, saying: “In truth, I see that God shows no partiality.

Rather, in every nation whoever fears him and acts uprightly

is acceptable to him. You know the word that he sent to the

Israelites as he proclaimed peace through Jesus Christ, who is

Lord of all, what has happened all over Judea, beginning in

Galilee after the baptism that John preached, how God anointed

Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power. He went about

doing good and healing all those oppressed by the devil, for God

was with him.”

R. Alleluia, alleluia. JN 1:29

John saw Jesus approaching Him, and said: Behold the Lamb of

God who takes away the sin of the world.

R. Alleluia, alleluia.

GOSPEL MK 1:7-11

This is what John the Baptist proclaimed: “One mightier than I

is coming after me. I am not worthy to stoop and loosen the

thongs of his sandals. I have baptized you with water; he will

baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”

It happened in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of

Galilee and was baptized in the Jordan by John. On coming

up out of the water he saw the heavens being torn open and

the Spirit, like a dove, descending upon him. And a voice

came from the heavens, “You are my beloved Son; with you I

am well pleased.”

6¿QUE PUEDO HACER PARA CRECER ESPIRITUALMENTE

(primera parte)?

Cuando se hace con sinceridad, la persona que busca crecer espiri-

tualmente encontrará respaldo de Dios durante su búsqueda. Crecer

en fe, como lo es en cualquier otra parte de la vida, requiere tiempo y

dedicación. Este artículo propone que para crecer espiritualmente,

debemos regresar a los puntos básicos de la vida cristiana: La ora-

ción, la Palabra de Dios, la comunidad de creyentes, y compartir con

otros lo que Dios, con gracia, nos ha dado..

Leer la Biblia entera: Es fácil caer en la rutina de siempre leer los

mismos pasajes bíblicos. Tendrás mejor entendimiento de lo que lees

con frecuencia si lo pones en contexto de un libro entero--o de la

Biblia entera. Recuerda que la Biblia es un mensaje completo de

parte de Dios. Dedica un año para leerla entera y con la ayuda del

Espíritu Santo, veras que crecerás en entendimiento. La puedes leer

de principio a fin (Génesis - Apocalipsis), cronológicamente, o en otro

de los varios planes de lecturas disponibles. Si ya la has leído entera,

considera leerla de nuevo con otro plan.

Orar todos los días: La oración es clave para el cristiano porque es

la forma en cómo se comunica con Dios. Es básicamente imposible

estar en un relación, mucho menos una que es fuerte e íntima, sin

tener un diálogo constante. Todos los días aparta tiempo para orar.

Si eres un nuevo creyente, empieza usando el ejemplo del Padre

Nuestro. Si tienes años en la iglesia, recuerdas que hay varias for-

mas de orar y proponte practicarlas todas.

Practicar el ayuno: Cuando ayunamos le mostramos a Dios que él

es más importante que nuestros placeres y necesidades humanas--

que el es nuestra fuente de fortaleza. Durante un tiempo determina-

do, una persona deja de comer y en vez dedica tiempo a la oración.

Si nunca has ayunado, empieza con solo unas horas al principio de

un día y mientras vallas creciendo en tu caminar con Dios, ve aumen-

tando lo que puedas ofrecer. Si eres un veterano consideras un

ayuno completo de 24 horas, el ayuno de Daniel o aumenta la fre-

cuencia de tu ayuno.

Asistir a la iglesia todas las semanas: ¿Porque debes de ir a la

iglesia? Porque es el propósito de Dios para ti. Jesús fundó la iglesia

como una familia para el creyente y como un instrumento para alcan-

zar al no creyente. Ir a la iglesia nos da la oportunidad de alabar a

Dios por todas sus bondades, fortalecernos en la fe, y recibir instruc-

ción a través de la predicación y las lecturas bíblicas. De los siete

días de la semana, no debe ser mucho trabajo dedicarle por lo me-

nos uno a Dios.

Llegar a la iglesia temprano: El propósito de ir a la iglesia es adorar

a Dios con todo nuestro ser. Lamentablemente, a veces llegamos a la

iglesia distraídos por una situación u otra y se nos hace difícil enfo-

carnos en lo que realmente es importante en ese momento. Si llegas

por lo menos 10 minutos temprano, puedes orar y preparar tu espíritu

para recibir las bendiciones que Dios tiene para ti. Usa ese tiempo

para dedicarle tu adoración y entregarles tus cargas.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION�

Holy Family Parish –

Responsible Stewardship – Establishes an Endowment for Engagement Ministries

Just as the COVID-19 pandemic was beginning to reach our area in March, 2020, we moved all of our scheduled

presentations in our churches to a virtual presentation on the merger of our five former parishes into one parish. At that

time, I shared that our parish had nearly $2 million in savings from generous benefactor bequests from past years from our

various parishes. We used some of those funds to sustain us through the pandemic and as we structured our parish for a

new dynamic. And we need additional funds for our current operation and cash flow through the year. Nevertheless,

approximately $1,600,000 in resources remains available to use or invest.

Also, as you may know, our community has been blessed to receive funds from a generous benefactor in our Diocese of

Pittsburgh for our Youth and Young Adult Minister staff position and programming. These donations have totaled $120,000

over the past two years and an additional $55,000 is pledged to our parish for this coming 2021 year. However, we have

already been informed that the intention of this gift was only to have the parish begin this ministry. After three years, we are

expected to demonstrate our own source of funding for continued support in Youth and Young Adult Ministry. Therefore we

do not expect any funding for such ministry after 2021.

Now that we have formed a Holy Family Parish Finance and Pastoral Council, I’ve asked our clergy and lay leadership to

weigh in on an overview of our funds and how we should use and/or preserve those funds. There are several capital

improvement projects on the horizon for which we anticipate using some of our savings. At the same time, this past year,

and for the next year, we expect to continue to experience unexpected challenges with the pandemic that may affect our

parish finances adversely. Nevertheless, we would like to ensure our parish preserves resources for important future

concerns. Therefore, we are establishing an Endowment for Engagement Ministries. We will initially fund this with half of

our savings, or $800,000. We are also inviting those who care about this fund to also make contributions or establish

designated bequests in their financial planning and wills. The parish will not plan to use any of the capital invested in this

endowment, but use the growth and interest from this fund as the primary resource for our engagement ministries. With an

initial investment, we hope that this fund will provide 4-5% return over a year and thus provide $32-40K after the first

year. As donations to this fund grow, we can increase the resources available to the parish annually.

The parish leadership is also considering including financial support to Holy Family School as part of the Endowment, but

would like more feedback from parishioners about including the school in the endowment proceeds.

If any parishioner has questions about this Endowment for Engagement Ministries or would like more information for a

bequest or donation, please contact me or our Holy Family Parish Business Manager, David Hall.

In Christ’s love,

Father Kevin�

Holy Family Endowment for Engagement Ministry

who have made bequest donations to the former parishes that established Holy Family Parish and those who will make

such bequests to Holy Family Parish. The endowment also honors the living of Holy Family Parish who are able to

make generous contributions to engagement ministries for our future. Engagement Ministries can include existing

ministries such as the following and other ministries that may also be established to engage people in the parish.

- Staffing and programming for Youth Ministry

- Staffing and programming for Young Adult Ministry

- Staffing and programming for Faith Formation

- Baptism and Marriage Preparation resources

- Evangelization resources

IMPORTANT INFORMATION�

The Holy Family 31 Club

Supporting Future Vocations from Holy Family Parish

Would you be willing to dedicate prayer time one day of each month for vocations to the priesthood, diaconate, and religious life in

Holy Family Parish? If so, The 31 Club wants you!

What: The 31 Club is a way for parishioners prayerfully to help in the vocations effort at the parish level.

When: No meetings, just sign up for one day a month.

Who: Open to all parishioners including those that are homebound and wish to offer their sufferings.

How it works:

-Sign a pledge form (below) to pray one day of the month (that you have chosen).

-Choose a type of prayer.

-Examples are: Mass, Rosary, Holy Hour before Blessed Sacrament, Divine Mercy Chaplet or some form of fasting,

abstaining, sacrifice, offering of suffering.

Goal: The 31 Club is to have dedicated prayer all possible 31 days of each month.

Prayer is talking to God. Through prayer we deepen our friendship with Jesus. Through prayer we deepen our understanding of

God’s plan for our life. Through prayer we deepen our appreciation for how much God loves us. Through prayer we strengthen

our spiritual lives so that we, through the grace of God, change ourselves. In seeking God’s call for our lives, prayer helps us to

choose and live our vocation.

Simple prayer: Lord, help me to live my vocation and pray for those called to the priesthood, diaconate, and religious life.

The 31 Club Pledge

I,____________________________________________________________(printed name), pledge to offer one day a month to pray

for those whom God is calling to the priesthood, diaconate, and religious life.

The date I choose is the _______day of each month. OR Select a day for me

1

st

– 31

st

(Someone will call you with a date).

My commitment is for one year and may be renewed. _______________(date)

_____________________________(phone) and/or ______________________________________________(email)

_______________________________________________

Signature

Please return your signed pledge to one of the white “contribution” baskets in the church or to one of the Holy Family Parish offices.

Holy Family Parishioners,

The response to the announcement of the 31 Club seeking prayer warriors for supporting future vocations

from Holy Family Parish has been encouraging. To guarantee daily prayer every day of each month there

are prayers warriors still needed for the following days:

12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31.

If you can commit to one of these days each month for a year, please fill out the “Pledge Slip” and return it

to one of the Church offices or the white contribution baskets in any of the churches. Thank you.

15�

�

Please pray for all those in our parish grouping who are in need, especially the sick at home, those in nursing homes and

hospitals, the unemployed, those who have lost a loved one and those who feel isolated or abandoned.
