SALVATION IN DAILY LIFE
This Sunday is the feast of the Holy Family, which comes on the first Sunday after Christmas Day. Today’s feast celebrates how the humanity of Jesus (including his entire family life) has brought saving significance into the daily rhythms of our human family life. The scriptures offer instruction and encouragement on how to share—within our families, parish families, and the wider human family—the love that God shares with us in Jesus. Selections from Sirach, Psalm 128, and Colossians encourage us to reflect divine love and thus find holiness in all our human relationships. The reading from Matthew’s Gospel offers a living example of love in the actions Joseph took to protect his young family from danger and to nurture them within the larger family of faith of their time.
We welcome new families to our Parish. Please register as soon as possible and notify the office of moves or address changes. Please note if you would like the convenience of Sunday envelopes as the ordinary means of meeting your obligations to your Parish.

LA FIESTA DE LA SAGRADA FAMILIA Hay familias de todos tipos y tamaños. Cuando se pide
que describas a tu familia, quizá empieces hablando acerca de uno de tus papás, un hermano u otros familia-res. Más aun, podrías describir lo que has conocido de tus antepasados. Podría ser poco probable, sin importar lo maravilloso que tu familia pueda ser, que describas a tu familia como “sagrada”. Sin embargo, eso es a lo que estamos llamados en primer lugar. Cada uno de nosotros como personas de Dios, y cada una de nuestras familias, está llamada a ser santa. Estamos llamados a llevar una vida como el pueblo de Dios en el mundo, para comuni-car el amor de Dios y su presencia por medio de la forma en que vivimos juntos y en relación con los demás. Cada familia, sin importar sus circunstancias, está llamada a ser una familia sagrada. Incluso María, José y Jesús en-frentaron desafíos y dificultades. Aun así, se levantaron de esas circunstancias, escucharon, hicieron la voluntad de Dios y se pusieron en sus manos asegurándose del amor del Dios en todo esto.
ESCUCHA A TU ÁNGEL ¿Alguna vez te ha tocado estar en un cruce de cami-
nos? Una dirección al principio podría ofrecer más venta-jas, la otra podría tener más desafíos, aunque buenas y correctas. No siempre es fácil saber cuál camino elegir. Discernir nuestro camino en la vida necesariamente requiere de oración, la guía de otros en quienes confia-mos y los movimientos del Espíritu Santo dentro de nosotros. El ejemplo de la Sagrada Familia es que siguió la voluntad de Dios poniéndose en sus manos, confiando en la presencia permanente de Dios, incluso sabiendo que al hacerlo se ponían en la incertidumbre y en riesgo. María confió en la voz del ángel, aunque el mensaje estaba más allá de la comprensión; José escuchó la voz del Señor en sueños y procedió, confiado de la guía del espíritu de Dios en medio de circunstancias preocupan-tes. Esto es lo que nuestras familias también deben hacer. Ser personas cristianas en el mundo de hoy no siempre es fácil, incluso cuando sabemos lo que es correcto. Este es el significado de la santidad. Esto es lo que significa ser una familia sagrada.
LA SAGRADA FAMILIA DE JESÚS, MARÍA Y JOSÉ 29 DE DICIEMBRE DE 2019
Sacramento del Bautismo Los padres deben estar registrados en al parroquia y deben estar atendiendo Misa regularmente. Los padres y padrinos deben tomar una clase pre bautismal. La próxima clasé es el 17 de enero a las 7:00 PM en el salón 3.

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS
Happy Christmas to all my brothers and sisters. We’re in that week between Christmas and New Years when we’re normally surrounded by family and friends. Not all of the people in our lives are so blessed. As Knights, we should be reaching out to those in need and this is when those in need are most vulnerable. Please consider this when celebrating. Someone in your orb could surely use some extra kindness. AS I like to say, we give from our excess. This includes our excess love and support.
Keith Flaherty, Grand Knight, Monsignor Hayes Council

Dear Lord, We pray that this New Year will bring us closer to You. May we take the time to get to know You. Help us to truly celebrate the gifts You have graciously given us and use them to serve You and spread Your word.
May we also see and love you in all the people we meet, so that in turn, they can see You in us.
We know that all human relations take time if they are to grow and deepen. This is also true of our relations with You, the Father and the Holy Spirit, which must grow over the course of our lives. In this new year, let us realize that every action of ours no matter how great or small enables us to be in touch with You. Let us accept You in our lives, in the way it pleases You, as Truth, to be spoken, as Life, to be lived, as Light, to be lighted, as Love, to be followed, as Joy, to be given, as Peace, to be spread about, as Sacrifice, to be offered among our relatives, friends, neighbors and all people. Amen.
