Dear Friends,
Today we celebrate the Feast of the Holy Family. The
main purpose of the feast is to present the Holy Family as
the model for all Christian families and for domestic life
in general. Our family life becomes sanctified when we
live the life of the Church within our homes. Just how does
one live out the Church in the family? The best way is by
making Christ and his Church the center of family and
individual life. Ways to do this include: daily prayer, at
mealtime and bedtime; attending Mass on Sundays and
Holy Days of Obligation as a family. Not an easy
accomplishment for many families on a routine basis,
however we should try to do so more often.
“Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved
compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness and patience.
Forbear one another and if one has a complaint against
another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you,
so you must also forgive. Above all these put on love, which
binds everything together. Let the peace of Christ rule in
your hearts and families.” Colossians 3:12-21
The Holy Family feast is a good time to remember the
family unit and pray for our human and spiritual families.
In light of the violence we see in our world today, may we
take this feast to reflect on the value and treasure of our
families. I pray we truly cherish and nurture these
precious gifts from Our Lord.

NEW YEARS DAY - RECTORY CLOSED
No gift cards or mass cards will be available
for purchase on January 1st.
Today is the Feast of the Holy Family and in Italy there is a
saying, “La famiglia é tutto,” which means, “the family is
everything.”
Our Holy Father Pope Francis has made families one of the
focal points of his papacy. He organized a conference on
families in 2015. Speaking to the families, he said, “You
cannot have a family without dreams. I am very fond of
dreams in families. For nine months, every mother and father
dream about their baby. They dream about what kind of child
he or she will be… You can’t have a family without dreams.
Once a family loses the ability to dream, children do not
grow, love does not grow, life shrivels up and dies. So I ask
you each evening, to ask yourselves this question: Today did
I dream about my children’s future? Today did I dream about
the love of my husband, my wife? Did I dream about my
parents and grandparents who have gone before me?”
Please note the #42 on all meals.
