El Rinconcito del Padre Estimados Feligreses, El Obispo Eusebio Elizondo, Director del Comité de Migración de la Conferencia Estadounidense de Obispos Católicos (USCCB), emitió una declaración sobre la crisis de los refugiados durante la Asamblea General anual del Obispo. Usted encontrará la declaración completa en nuestro sitio web de la parroquia.

PASTOR’S CORNER Dear Parishioners, Bishop Eusebio Elizondo, Chairman of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ (USCCB) Committee on Migration, issued a statement on the refugee crisis during the Bishops’ annual General Assembly. You will find the full statement on our parish Website.

"En lugar de utilizar esta tragedia para chivo expiatorio de todos los refugiados, hago un llamado a nuestros funcionarios públicos a trabajar juntos para poner fin al conflicto Sirio pacíficamente para que el cerca de 4 millones de refugiados Sirios puedan regresar a su país y reconstruir sus hogares. Hasta que se logre ese objetivo, debemos trabajar con la comunidad internacional para proporcionar refugio seguro para los refugiados vulnerables y merecidos que simplemente están tratando de sobrevivir.

“Instead of using this tragedy to scapegoat all refugees, I call upon our public officials to work together to end the Syrian conflict peacefully so the close to 4 million Syrian refugees can return to their country and rebuild their homes. Until that goal is achieved, we must work with the world community to provide safe haven to vulnerable and deserving refugees who are simply attempting to survive.

Como una gran nación, los Estados Unidos debe demostrar liderazgo durante esta crisis y unir a las naciones para proteger a los que están en peligro y poner fin a los conflictos en el Medio Oriented.”

As a great nation, the United States must show leadership during this crisis and bring nations together to protect those in danger and bring an end to the conflicts in the Middle East."

Mientras que el terrorismo perturba nuestro sentido de seguridad no se debe permitir a debilitar nuestros valores fundamentales como Iglesia o nación. Nuestro deber de acoger al extranjero vulnerable es tan antiguo como Mateo 24 y tan sagrado como la Fiesta de Acción de Gracias.

While terrorism disturbs our sense of security it should not be allowed to shake our core values as a church or nation. Our duty to welcome the vulnerable stranger is as ancient as Matthew 24 and as hallowed as the Feast of Thanksgiving.

Mientras que lloramos por las víctimas de la violencia en todo el mundo, todavía tomamos el tiempo para dar gracias por la vida, la libertad y la búsqueda de la felicidad, la promesa de nuestros fundadores, y oramos y trabajamos por la paz.

While we mourn the victims of violence throughout the world we still take time to give thanks for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, the promise of our founders; and we pray and work for Peace.

Bendiciones,

Annual Pastor Report Dear Holy Family Parishioners, In the season of thanksgiving it is good to look back at the past year; 2015 was the year we took action to extend our facilities. 





Together with architect Peter Juanpere, we developed a plan to extend our entrance and add critically needed meeting space. We backed up our project with a fundraising campaign that yielded 2 million in pledges. We are actively pursuing zoning and building permits from the County. While there was an understandable decrease in our offertory we managed with prudent stewardship to end the year with a small surplus. In the upkeep of our facilities we replaced the roof over the baptistery, replaced some heating and air conditioning units, replaced the Cafeteria Kitchen Icemaker and replaced water fountains, fire alarm control panel, along with addressing other much needed maintenance and facility issues.



Our educational ministry continues to expand through our school and religious education programs.



Our outreach to the homebound was strengthened through the works of our Eucharistic ministers and Circle of Caring.



Our Festival continues to grow. The Festival contributed over $39,000 to our parish budget.



Holy Family added a new project TGIF (Think God It’s Friday) a new monthly faith formation program, in conjunction with the staff of Ignatian Volunteers.



To improve communications we have updated our website and added a new method of communication — Flock Notes, to support our ministries.



Our social ministries served an increased number of people in need. Our Harvest Fall Food Drive was recognized as one of the biggest in the diocese.

With all that said, looking back at all these extraordinary accomplishments, I want to say “Thank you, Holy Family!”

With much appreciation, Fr. Gerry Creedon

Respaldamos nuestro proyecto con una campaña de recaudación de fondos que produjo 2 millones de dólares en compromisos. Estamos buscando activamente zonificación y permisos de construcción del Condado.  Mientras que hubo una disminución comprensible en nuestro ofertorio logramos, con -administración prudente, cerrar el año fiscal con un pequeño residuo.  En el mantenimiento de nuestras instalaciones hemos reemplazado el techo sobre el baptisterio, reemplazamos algunas unidades de calefacción y aire acondicionado, reemplazamos la Máquina de hielo en la Cocina de la Cafetería y reemplazamos las fuentes de agua, el panel de control de alarma contra incendios, además de afrontar otros problemas muy necesarios de mantenimiento y de las instalaciones.  Nuestro ministerio educativo continúa expandiéndose a través de nuestros programas escolares y educación religiosa.  Nuestro acercamiento a los confinados en sus casas se fortaleció a través de las obras de nuestros Ministros de la Eucaristía y el Círculo de Cuido.  Nuestro Festival sigue creciendo.

Con todo esto dicho, mirando hacia atrás en todos estos logros extraordinarios, quiero decir "Gracias, Sagrada Familia!"
