THE HOLY FAMILY OF JESUS, MARY AND JOSEPH- December 31, 2017
TTHE HOLY FAMILY OF JESUS, MARY AND JOSEPH- December 31, 2017
We wish you a most Holy, Happy New Year. During this year of 2018, please pray each day to end abortion in our country and to have our country never accept Physician Assisted Suicide. Please pray this prayer for life, most
especially during January when the March for Life occurs in Washington, DC.
O God, our Creator, all life is in your hands from conception until death. Help us to cherish our children and to reverence the awesome privilege of our share in creation.
May all people live and die in dignity and love. Bless all those who defend the rights of the unborn, the handicapped and the aged. Enlighten and be merciful toward those who fail to love, and give them peace. Let freedom be tempered
by responsibility, integrity and morality. Amen.
St. Elizabeth Ann Seton
Elizabeth Ann Bayley was born in New York City on August 28, 1774 to a prominent Episcopal family, and lost her mother at the age of three. In 1794, at the age of 19, Elizabeth married William Magee Seton, a wealthy businessman with whom she had five children. William died of tuberculosis in 1803, leaving Elizabeth a young widow. After discovering Catholicism in Italy, where her husband had died, Elizabeth returned to the United States and entered the Catholic Church in 1805 in New York.
After a number of difficult years, Elizabeth moved in 1809 to Emmitsburg, Maryland, where she founded the Sisters of Charity of St. Joseph’s, the first community for religious women established in the United States. She also began St. Joseph’s Academy and Free School, planting the seeds of Catholic education in the United States. Her legacy now includes religious congregations in the United States and Canada, whose members work on the unmet needs of people living in poverty in North America and beyond.
Mother Seton, as she is often called, was canonized on Sunday, September 14, 1975 in St. Peter’s Square by Pope Paul VI. She was the first citizen born in the United States to be given the title of “Saint.” Her remains are entombed in Emmitsburg in the Basilica at the National Shrine that bears her name.
St. Michael the Archangel
Ask Sr. Rose What does the word Messiah mean?
A Hebrew word meaning “Anointed”
Please guide and protect our Police Officers, Firefighters, Emergency Personnel and First Responders
Reflection Goodness is stronger than evil
Love is stronger than hate Light is stronger than darkness
Life is stronger than death Victory is ours through
Him who loves us. Amen

"En esto conocemos el amor: en que Él puso su vida por nosotros; también nosotros debemos poner nuestras vidas por los hermanos. Pero el que tiene bienes de este mundo, y ve a su hermano en necesidad y cierra su
corazón contra él, ¿cómo puede morar el amor de Dios en él? Hijos, no amemos de palabra ni de lengua, sino de hecho y en verdad."- Juan 3:16-18
� Queridos hermanos los invitamos para que nos acompañen todos los Sábados a las 7:00 pm a participar en la sagrada misa dominical, aquí en la capilla St. John el Evangelista. ¡Quedan todos cordialmente invitados!

SYNOPSIS IN ENGLISH
� Dear brothers and sisters, we invite you to join us every Saturday at 7:00pm to participate in the Sacred Mass here at St. John the Evangelist Chapel. All are cordially invited!
1. The Prayer Group invites our entire community to its praise and thanksgiving meetings every Friday at
7:30pm in the Monsignor Powers Room (below the Chapel).
Feast of the Holy Family Feast of the Holy Family, Roman Catholic religious festival falling on the first Sunday after Christmas. Although
major feast days dedicated to each member of the Holy Family—Jesus, Mary, and Joseph—also exist, the Feast of the Holy Family commemorates their life together, and the celebration focuses on religious family life. Because
of the flight of the Holy Family into Egypt, a feast for the Holy Family has been observed by the Copts from early times. In Western Christianity, however, a cult of veneration for the Holy Family as a group, rather than as
individuals, did not arise until the 17th century and was not officially recognized until the feast day was formally instituted in 1921 under Pope Benedict XV.
Originally celebrated on the Sunday after Epiphany (January 6), the Feast of the Holy Family was moved to the Sunday after Christmas in 1969, bringing it within the Christmas season.
