El Rinconcito del Padre

PASTOR’S CORNER

Estimados Feligreses,

Dear Parishioners,

El Miércoles de Ceniza esta a la vuelta de la esquina, el 10 de febrero. Con la Cuaresma, a todos nosotros se nos da una nueva oportunidad para renovar nuestro compromiso bautismal. El tema Cuaresmal del Obispo Loverde nos invita a; "Salid como heraldos de la Misericordia de Dios". La Misericordia de Dios nos da una segunda oportunidad en la tarea de discípulo. Nosotros, en torno, tenemos que ofrecer a los demás una segunda oportunidad.

Ash Wednesday is around the corner; Feb 10th. With Lent all of us are given a new chance to renew our baptismal commitment. Bishop Loverde's theme for Lent urges; "Go forth as heralds of God's mercy". God's mercy gives us a second chance at the task of discipleship. We in turn need to offer others a second chance.

Para ayudarnos en nuestra renovación y arrepentimiento la Iglesia nos ofrece las tres disciplinas tradicionales de la oración, el ayuno y la limosna. Les invito a que me acompañen los lunes a las 9:30am para "Reflexiones Cuaresmales de las Escrituras con el Párroco". En el área de la limosna, la Petición Cuaresmal del Obispo nos ofrece la oportunidad de hacer un sacrificio para apoyar los programas de ayuda de nuestra diócesis. El Obispo Loverde, en su último año de servicio antes de su jubilación, quiere dejar a su sucesor una Diócesis bien equipada para hacer las obras de misericordia. Vengan preparados para hacer un compromiso el próximo fin de semana. Aquí, en la Parroquia de la Sagrada Familia nos beneficiamos en muchos aspectos de esta Petición. Yo especialmente deseo engrandecer la ayuda que se le da a nuestra escuela para ofrecer ayuda de matrícula a nuestras familias más necesitadas. La educación que se ofrece en Sagrada Familia es una tremenda mano a las familias cuyos hijos, de otro modo, lucharían. Un símbolo central en nuestro Altar durante la Cuaresma es el Tazón de Arroz. El arroz es el alimento básico de muchas de las personas que más sufren de hambre en el mundo. A través de CRS y nuestra propia Misión de Ayuda utilizamos los fondos de la Operación Tazón de Arroz para llegar a los niños y familias que carecen de las necesidades básicas de todos los continentes.

¡Misericordia! Padre Gerardo

To assist us in our renewal and repentance the church offers us the three traditional disciplines of prayer, fasting and alms-giving. I invite you to join me on Mondays at 9:30 am for "Pastor's Lenten reflections on the scriptures". Location to be announce. In the area of alms-giving, the Bishop's Lenten Appeal offers us the opportunity to make a sacrifice to support the outreach of our diocese. Bishop Loverde, in his last period of service before retirement, wants to leave his successor a Diocese well equipped to do the works of mercy. Come ready to make a commitment next weekend. Here at Holy Family we benefit in many ways from this Appeal. I especially want to raise up the help our school is given to offer tuition assistance to our more needy families. The education offered at Holy Family is a tremendous hand up to families whose children would otherwise struggle. A central symbol on our altar during Lent is the rice bowl. Rice is the staple food of many of the world's hungriest people. Through CRS (Catholic Relief Services) and our own Mission Outreach we use Operation Rice Bowl funds to reach out to children and families who lack basic necessities on every continent.

Mercy! Fr. Gerry Creedon

2016 Bishop’s Lenten Appeal Begins! This month many of us will receive a mailing from Bishop Loverde regarding the 206 Bishop’s Lenten Appeal (BLA). The theme for the 2016 BLA is “Go forth as heralds of God’s mercy.” After reflecting upon the many blessings that God has given you, please prayerfully consider making a pledge of support to this important appeal that funds many programs ministries that serve the people in our diocese. Every pledge is an expression of God’s love a mercy!

Stewardship Reflections January 31, 2016 4 Sunday in Ordinary Time th

“Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, it is not pompous.” (1 Corinthians 13:4)

Do you get jealous? Do you focus more on the things that other people have than on the gifts that God has given to you? Are you pompous? Do you acquire more possessions to impress others? At times we are all guilty of these things. Pray for more humility. Pray to become less self-centered and more God-centered.

HOLY FAMILY SCHOOL NEWS Dear Parishioners: As we begin Catholic Schools Week, we are excited to share some news about our school. We are having a great year, remain fiscally responsible and continue to offer a premier Catholic education to all who desire one. Our enrollment continues to show a steady increase, and we have many exciting things planned for the year ahead.

Our tuition does not cover the operational costs to educate each child (these costs include salaries, utilities, educational materials, maintenance, etc.) Our tuition rate and fees is $4878 while the actual cost is $5449. This is a $571 difference per child! In our ongoing efforts to assist in defraying tuition costs we rely on our annual fundraisers. We do try to limit these events but it is important to know that the proceeds from these events are allocated to help with tuition costs. Past contributions to our Annual Appeal have played an integral part in our growth and academic success, and we are so thankful. We humbly come to you asking for your support. Our scriptural based theme this academic year is “We are Called; We are Chosen.” We hope you will feel “called” to help enhance our instructional programs. Our focus is always on maintaining our Catholic faith and Christian identity as well as academic excellence. Your continued commitment to these efforts will sustain and ensure an enduring superior education for our students. By supporting us in this endeavor, we will be able to provide a quality education while keeping our tuition costs as low as we possibly can. Whatever gift you can give to our school would be greatly appreciated. Please keep in mind that no gift is too big or too small; it is your demonstration of support that really makes a difference! Each and every gift is truly appreciated and is 100% tax deductible. Thank you and know that we carry you in our hearts and our prayers every day.
