My eyes have seen your salvation,
which you have prepared in the sight of all the peoples.

Feast of the Holy Family
Family life is the central and most
important group in any society. Parents
everywhere dream of a better life for their
children, working hard to raise them well. All
parents remind their kids to do homework,
clean their rooms, and brush their teeth. Most
importantly, parents are the first teachers,
teaching children their own faith, values, morals
and ideals. No one plays a more significant role
in our lives—for good or for bad—than our
parents.
The Holy Family models the love and
commitment that is at the heart of family life.
The respect, unity, courage and concern that
Joseph, Mary and Jesus had with and for each
other helped them overcome difficulties to
fulfill God’s Plan for them. Those same qualities
in our own families will do the same for us.
Prayer to the Holy Family
Jesus, Mary and Joseph, like you we are
members of the Father’s family. We pray that
our family love may reflect His love in its
openness to all people. May we forgive even
when not forgiven, and be patient with others’
weaknesses.
Jesus, give us peace, unity, and strength to meet
the difficulties of daily living. May we use our
family resources to improve the quality of life
for ourselves and all people. Let us show joy in
serving, for whatever we do for others, we do
for you.
Mary inspires us that our love may be strong
but not possessive. Let our willingness to give
depend on the needs of others rather than on
the cost of living.
Joseph, help us to be attentive to the Father’s
will. Let us be ready, as you were, to go
whenever he calls us.
New Year Blessing
Father of Light, may He grant you His
grace and every blessing, and keep you
safe throughout the coming year. May He
grant you unwavering faith, constant love,
and love that endures to the end. May He
order your days and work in His peace,
hear your every prayer, and lead you to
everlasting life and joy. May Almighty God
bless you, the Father and the Son and the
Holy Spirit.
Ka¿dy dobry dar pochodzi od Ojca
ĝwiat³oĞci. Niech On udziela Swojej ³aski i
wszelkiego b³ogos³awieñstwa, niech
zachowa Was a dobrym poprzez ca³y
nadchodz¹cy rok. Niech On Wam udziela
niezachwianej wiary, wytrwa³ej nadziei i
mi³oĞci, która trwa do koñca. Niech On
kieruje ka¿dym waszym dniem i prac¹ w
pokoju, wys³ucha ka¿dej waszej modlitwie i
prowadzi Was do wiekuistego ¿ycia i
radoĞci. Niech Was b³ogos³awi
Wszechmog¹cy Bóg Ojciec, Syn Bo¿y i

CAPITAL RENOVATION COLLECTION
I want to express my thanks to all who contribute to our Capital Improvements Collection for their generous and consistent
donations. We are asked to contribute to so many worthy projects, but these funds are earmarked solely for our own parish. We
budget for regular maintenance, but these funds are used for renovations and improvements. We have been given the gift of
beautiful parish property and buildings and it is our responsibility to restore and improve them for generations to come!
