El Rinconcito del Padre Estimados Feligreses, El Cardenal O’Malley ha escrito; "Uno de los efectos más perniciosos del terrorismo es que puede inculcar prejuicios y el odio de los grupos en los corazones y las mentes de las personas. Todos estamos horrorizados por el mal perpetrado por terroristas radicales, pero no debemos dejar que su falta de humanidad nos robe nuestra humanidad." ¿Cómo podemos ser diversos y ser unidos? Esta es una pregunta que enfrenta los Estados Unidos. Otros países se enfrentan un problema similar. Las voces del miedo y del odio hacen que el reto sea más difícil. La Parroquia de la Sagrada Familia en toda su diversidad gloriosa se erige como un faro de esperanza en momentos así. El bosque de árboles de Navidad de varias naciones que anunciaban la temporada de Navidad fue un hermoso símbolo de nuestra comunidad. Nuestra fe nos une. Este es el tema de una próxima presentación por el Monseñor East en la noche del viernes 29 de enero. Consulte el boletín y nuestro sitio web para obtener más información. Hagan planes para unirse a nosotros y traigan a sus amigos. Con la bendición de un Nuevo Año, el Año de la Misericordia.

Bendiciones, Padre Gerardo

PASTOR’S CORNER Dear Parishioners, Cardinal O’Malley has written; "One of the most pernicious effects of terrorism is that it can instill prejudices and group hatred in people’s hearts and minds. All of us are horrified by the evil perpetrated by radical terrorists, but we must not let their inhumanity rob us of our humanity." How can we be diverse yet united? This is a question facing the United States. Other countries face a similar issue. Voices of fear and hatred make the challenge more difficult. Holy Family Parish in all its glorious diversity stands as a beacon of hope in such a time. The forest of Christmas trees from various nations that heralded the Christmas season were a beautiful symbol of our community. Our faith unites us. This is the theme of an upcoming presentation by Msgr. Ray East on Friday evening, January 29th, 2016, 7:00 PM in Fr. Griffin Hall. See the bulletin and websites for details. Plan to join us and bring your friends! With the blessings of a New Year, a year of mercy...

Fr. Gerry Creedon

2nd Sunday in Ordinary Time “To each individual the manifestation of the Spirit is given for some benefit.” (1 CORINTHIANS 12:7) St. Paul tells us that God has blessed each of us for a reason. How has God blessed you? Are you using your gifts according to God’s plan; helping to do His work here on earth? Remember that if you don’t do the work God planned for you, no one else can do it.
