Estimados Feligreses,

Dear Parishioners,

El 18 de marzo le damos la bienvenida a Sor Cecilia, Priora del Monasterio Benedictino en Bristow a nuestro TGIF (Piense en Dios es Viernes) para una presentación en la Sala Fr. Griffin (gimnasio). A la luz de la tradición Benedictina de hospitalidad, ella presentará una perspectiva sobre la inmigración. Por lo general, nos reunimos antes de las 7:00 pm. Nuestro gran evento parroquial en honor a San José y San Patricio se llevará a cabo el 19 de marzo, comenzando a las 7:30pm. Siempre nos gusta que los participantes compren los boletos con anticipación (disponibles en la oficina parroquial) para esta cena-baile. Este evento multicultural nos anima a construir un sentido de unidad como parroquia. He sido invitado por los Caballeros de Colon, Asamblea George Brent, a servir como Gran Mariscal del desfile de la Parada de San Patricio en Manassas, el 12 de marzo a las 11:00am (www.stpatparade.net). Le doy la bienvenida a todos mis hermanos Caballeros, sus familias y compañeros de la parroquia de la Sagrada Familia a unirse a mí para el evento el 12 de marzo. El Obispo Loverde se une a mí en una celebración de la Misa Anual Diocesana Gaélico en honor de San Patricio en la Catedral de St. Thomas More, el lunes 14 de marzo, a 7:30pm, seguida de una recepción ligera. Sean mis invitados. Me han invitado a predicar en la Misa de Aniversario número 100 de la Pascua de Resurrección en San Aloysius, Washington, DC el lunes, 28 de marzo, a las 12:00pm. ¡Vengan y únanse a mí!

Con las Bendiciones de Cuaresma, Padre Gerardo

1. On March 18th we welcome Sr. Cecilia, Prioress from the Benedictine Monastery in Bristow to our TGIF (Think God its Friday) for a presentation at Fr. Griffin Hall. In light of the Benedictine tradition of hospitality she will present a perspective on Immigration. We usually gather before 7 pm. 2. Our major parish event honoring St. Joseph and St Patrick will take place on March 19th, beginning around 7:30 pm. We always like participants to buy tickets in advance (available from parish office) for this dinner dance. This multicultural event encourages us to build a sense of unity as a parish. 3. The George Brent Knights of Columbus have invited me to serve as Grand Marshall of the Manassas St. Patrick's Day Parade, // www.stpatparade.net/, on Saturday, March 12th at 11 am. I welcome all my brother Knights, their families and fellow parishioners of Holy Family to join me for the event on March 12th. 4. Bishop Loverde joins me in a celebration of the Annual Diocesan Gaelic Mass in honor of St. Patrick at the Cathedral of St. Thomas More on Monday, March 14th at 7:30 pm, followed by a light reception. Be my guest. 5. I've been invited to preach at the 1o0th Anniversary Mass for the Easter Rising at St. Aloysius, Washington, DC on Monday March 28th at 12 noon. Come join me.

Stewardship Reflections February 28, 2016 3rd Sunday of Lent “He said to the gardener, ‘For three years now I have come in search of fruit on this fig tree but have found none.’” (LUKE 13:7) Are you like the barren fig tree? How will you respond when God asks you what you have done with all the gifts He has given you? Remember, not only are we called to be generous, we are called to develop and nurture our gifts and return with increase.
