El Rinconcito del Padre

PASTOR’S CORNER

Estimados Feligreses, "El terror siempre busca separarnos de quienes más queremos. A través de su sufrimiento, el valor y la compasión, los Parisinos nos están haciendo recordar que el lazo común de la humanidad es más fuerte cuando la necesidad es mayor. Comprometemos nuestras oraciones para todo el mundo que sufre de esta horrible violencia y nuestro apoyo a todos los que trabajan para construir sociedades justas y pacíficas”. ~Obispos Católicos de los Estados Unidos.

Dear Parishioners, "Terror always seeks to separate us from those we most love. Through their suffering, courage and compassion, Parisians are reminding us that the common bond of humanity is strongest when the need is greatest. We pledge our prayers for everyone who suffers from this horrific violence and our advocacy to support all those working to build just and peaceful societies." ~US CATHOLIC BISHOPS.

Añado la oración de la Parroquia de la Sagrada Familia a la intercesión de la Iglesia universal. El terror que afecta a París y muchas otras regiones del mundo nos llama a aumentar nuestro trabajo por un mundo más pacífico y reconciliado, comenzando por nuestra propia comunidad. El trabajo por la paz no es ayudado por el miedo, la intolerancia, el fanatismo, la Xenofobia y el militarismo. Vamos a trabajar sin cesar para el diálogo y el respeto mutuo. Apoyemos a los militares en su labor de proporcionar seguridad y oremos por diplomáticos que son valientes y sabios.

I add the prayer of Holy Family Parish to the intercession of the universal church. The terror that afflicts Paris and many other regions of the world calls us to redouble our work for a more peaceful and reconciled world, beginning in our own community. The work for peace is not helped by fear, intolerance, bigotry, Xenophobia or militarism. Let us work unceasingly for dialogue and mutual respect. Let us support the military in their work of providing security and let us pray for diplomats who are courageous and wise.

Este fin de semana trae un breve resumen de algunos logros en la Parroquia de la Sagrada Familia en el año fiscal pasado. Son una pequeña indicación de las muchas bendiciones que disfrutamos y, mientras celebramos, nos llaman a un espíritu de gratitud.

This weekend’s bulletin carries a brief summary of some accomplishments at Holy Family in the past fiscal year. They are a small indication of the many blessings we enjoy and that call us to a spirit of gratitude as we celebrate.

"Feliz Día de Acción de Gracias"

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.

Generosity Report Thank you for your continued support! Regular Collection

While there was an understandable decrease in our offertory we managed with prudent stewardship to end the year with a small surplus.

November 14 and November 15

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.

Thank you so much for your continued generosity and support to your parish.



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.

“Jesus answered, ‘My kingdom does not belong to this world.” ~ John 18:36



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

Stewardship Reflections

Reporte Anual del Párroco Estimados Feligreses de la Iglesia de la Sagrada Familia,

En la temporada de acción de gracias, es bueno mirar hacia atrás a nuestro último año fiscal; 2015 fue el año en que tomamos medidas para ampliar nuestras instalaciones. Junto con el arquitecto Peter Juanpere, hemos desarrollado un plan para extender nuestra entrada a la Iglesia y añadir espacio para reuniones críticamente necesario. 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. El Festival contribuyó con más de $39,000 a nuestro presupuesto parroquial.  La Sagrada Familia ha añadido un nuevo proyecto TGIF (Piense en Dios es Viernes) un nuevo programa mensual de formación en la fe, en conjunto con el personal de Voluntarios Ignaciano.  Para mejorar las comunicaciones hemos actualizado nuestro sitio web y añadido un nuevo método de comunicación -Flock Notas para apoyar nuestros ministerios.  Nuestros Ministerios Sociales sirvieron un mayor número de personas necesitadas. Nuestra Colecta de Comida de Otoño fue reconocida como una de las más grandes de la diócesis.

Youth Ministry and Religious Education will be sending updates and noCon todo esto dicho, mirando hacia atrás en todos estices through Flocknote.

tos logros extraordinarios, quiero decir "Gracias, Sagrada Familia!"
