Dear Parishioners, This weekend we celebrate another story of Christmas. We celebrate Matthew’s version were we have the visit of the magi (wise-men) after journeying and following a star. Jesus is now probably about two years old and would not have been found in a stable, rather would have been found in a home. We know he was probably 1.5 to 2 years old, because King Herod had the boys two years and younger killed in and around Bethlehem. The magi sought out Jesus. As we enter a new year, we are called to seek out Jesus. We are called to have a relationship with Him. It is not too late to make a New Year’s Resolution. Maybe our resolution can be to spend more time in prayer, reading the Bible, attending mass regularly, going regularly to Confession, helping those in need, spending time in Adoration … and the list could go on. Spend some time this year nurturing your faith and following the Light of Christ. On behalf of Fr. Tony, I want to thank all of you who have given us gifts, cards, invited us out to dinner, and offered prayers for us. There are too many of you to thank personally, but we really appreciate your generosity and thoughtfulness. Father Tony and I would like to thank all those who decorated for Christmas, especially Celia and her team, Gustavo Rodriguez who helped Celia, our maintenance: Scott, Ken, and Gustavo, our choirs, lectors, ushers, greeters, extraordinary ministers of the Eucharist, mass coordinators, altar servers, and anyone we may have forgotten. Your efforts made Christmas a beautiful celebration. I know some of you have said that you wished the Nativity set was in a different location. Our head decorator Barbara Lazarski died this past year, and unfortunately we were trying to decorate from memory. Celia and her team are volunteers and are doing great and are figuring things out as they go along. All I can say is that if you have suggestions, get involved and volunteer to help decorate. This is your parish and we need everyone to get invested. I know for myself, I cannot do what I did last Easter or this past Christmas. You probably are unaware, but all the decorations that were put up in the Church for Easter last year were done by Ken and me. Our staff had the created the floral displays, and Ken and I arranged them because no volunteers showed up to help us. I was climbing up ladders with a newly healed broken wrist. This past Christmas, on Sunday, December 23rd, I had some volunteers from after the 7 pm mass help me tear down the Advent banners and Advent wreath and put up the Christmas banners and bring in the poinsettias (and I am grateful for this). On Christmas Eve, I was running around like a chicken with his head cutoff trying to get everything ready. On Christmas Day at the 12 noon English mass, we only had two Eucharistic Ministers. This is not to toot my own horn, but I was doing things, because our volunteers did not show up. I should not be climbing ladders and doing everything, we need everyone to step up and get involved. This is you parish, not just mine. I oversee the parish. We need to put our faith into action. We need more people to help with decorations, to serve as Eucharistic ministers, lectors, ushers, altar servers, cleaning linens, etc. So on the weekend of January 26-27, we will have a ministry fair where we will need you to step up and get involved. As we continue through the Christmas season, next weekend we celebrate the Baptism of Jesus. Let us reflect on the Christmas story from Luke about the shepherds, and the story from Matthew about the magi. Let us reflect on our baptismal call to be priests, prophets, and kings. How are we going to grow in our faith this year? How are we going to tell others about Jesus? How are we going to put our faith into action? I pray that this Year of Our Lord 2019 will be filled with blessings. If I can be of any assistance, please let me know. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!! Sincerely yours in Christ, Steve Hoffer, Pastor of Holy Family

Queridos Parroquianos, Este fin de semana celebramos otra historia de Navidad. Celebramos la versión de Mateo donde tenemos la visita de los Magos (hombres sabios) después de viajar y seguir una estrella. Jesús ahora tiene probablemente unos dos años y no se habría encontrado en un establo, sino que se habría encontrado en un hogar. Sabemos que probablemente tenía entre 1 ½ y 2 años de edad, porque el Rey Herodes hizo que mataran a los niños de dos años o menos en Belén y sus alrededores. Los Magos buscaban a Jesús. Al entrar en un Año Nuevo, estamos llamados a buscar a Jesús, a tener una relación con El. No es demasiado tarde para hacer una Resolución de Año Nuevo. Tal vez nuestra resolución sea pasar más tiempo orando, leyendo la Biblia, asistiendo a Misa con regularidad, Confesandonos, ayudando a los necesitados, pasando tiempo en la Adoración ... y la lista podría continuar. Pase algún tiempo este año nutriendo su fe y siguiendo la Luz de Cristo. En nombre del Padre Tony, quiero agradecerles a todos ustedes que nos han dado regalos, tarjetas, nos han invitado a cenar y han orado por nosotros. Hay muchos de ustedes a quienes agradecer personalmente, pero realmente apreciamos su generosidad y consideración. El Padre Tony y yo queremos agradecer a todos los que decoraron para Navidad, especialmente a Celia y su equipo, Gustavo Rodríguez que ayudó a Celia, nuestro mantenimiento: Scott, Ken y Gustavo, nuestros coros, lectores, acomodadores, saludadores, ministros extraordinarios de la Eucaristía, Coordinadores de Misas, servidores del altar, y cualquier persona que hayamos olvidado. Tus esfuerzos hicieron de la Navidad una hermosa celebración. Sé que algunos de ustedes han dicho que desearían que el Nacimiento estuviera en una ubicación diferente. Nuestra decoradora principal Barbara Lazarski murió el año pasado, y desafortunadamente estábamos tratando de decorar de memoria. Celia y su equipo son voluntarios y lo están haciendo muy bien y están resolviendo las cosas a medida que avanzan. Todo lo que puedo decir es que si tiene sugerencias, participe y sea voluntario para ayudar a decorar. Esta es tu Parroquia y necesitamos que todos se involucren. Lo sé por mí mismo, no puedo hacer lo que hice en la Pascua pasada o en las Navidades pasadas. Probablemente no lo sepan, pero Ken y yo hicimos todas las decoraciones que se colocaron en la Iglesia para la Pascua el año pasado. Nuestro personal hizo los arreglos florales, y Ken y yo los organizamos porque no aparecieron voluntarios para ayudarnos. Estaba subiendo escaleras con una muñeca rota recién curada. La Navidad pasada, el Domingo 23 de Diciembre, recibí algunos voluntarios de la Misa después de las 7 p.m. Que me ayudaron a quitar las pancartas y corona de Adviento, las pancartas de Navidad y traer las flores de Pascua (y estoy agradecido por esto). En la víspera de Navidad, corría como un pollo con la cabeza cortada tratando de tener todo listo. El día de Navidad en la Misa de inglés de las 12 del mediodía, solo tuvimos dos Ministros eucarísticos. Esto no es para tocar mi propia bocina, pero estaba haciendo cosas porque nuestros voluntarios no aparecieron. No debería estar subiendo escaleras y haciendo todo, necesitamos que todos se pongan de pie y se involucren. Esta es tu Parroquia, no solo la mía. Yo superviso la Parroquia. Necesitamos poner nuestra fe en acción. Necesitamos más personas para ayudar con las decoraciones, para servir como Ministros de la Eucaristía, lectores, ujieres, servidores del altar, ropa de limpieza, etc. Entonces, durante el fin de semana del 26 al 27 de Enero, tendremos una feria de Ministerios en la que necesitaremos que se presente y participe. A medida que avanzamos en la temporada Navideña, el próximo fin de semana celebramos el Bautismo de Jesús. Reflexionemos sobre la historia Navideña de Lucas sobre los pastores y la historia de Mateo sobre los Magos. Reflexionemos sobre nuestro llamado bautismal para ser sacerdotes, profetas y reyes. ¿Cómo vamos a crecer en nuestra fe este año? ¿Cómo le vamos a decir a otros acerca de Jesús? ¿Cómo vamos a poner nuestra fe en acción? Ruego que este año de nuestro Señor 2019 esté lleno de bendiciones. Si puedo ser de alguna ayuda, por favor hágamelo saber. ¡¡Feliz Navidad y próspero Año Nuevo!!

Adoration It’s a New Year. Let us continue to make our life a reflection of God and honor Him in Adoration. Holy Family Chapel is our hidden treasure. As Father Steve reminds us, we are to find time to develop a personal relationship with Jesus in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament. May a weekly commitment to keep company with the One who had no place to lay His head be yours this 2019. Jesus did not leave us to walk our journey alone. He remains with us always in the Eucharist wanting to be with us, in us, and for us.

Mon. 12Noon to 3:30pm Tues. through Friday 8am to 3:30pm.

ADORACION DEL SANTISIMO SACRAMENTO Es un Año Nuevo. Sigamos haciendo de nuestra vida un reflejo de Dios y honrémoslo en la Adoración. La Capilla de la Sagrada Familia es nuestro tesoro escondido. Como nos recuerda el Padre Steve, debemos encontrar tiempo para desarrollar una relación personal con Jesús en oración ante el Santísimo Sacramento. Que un compromiso semanal de mantener la compañía con Aquel que no tenía lugar para recostar Su cabeza sea tuyo este 2019. Jesús no nos deja caminar solos en nuestro camino. Él permanece con nosotros siempre en la Eucaristía queriendo estar con nosotros, en nosotros y por nosotros.

Tiempos de Adoración: Lunes 12pm — 3:30pm Martes a Viernes de 8am a 3:30pm.
