PASTOR’S CORNER Dear Parishioners, F e b r u a r y 1 0 t h w e c e l e b r a t e Ash Wednesday the beginning of Lent, a season of prayer, fasting and alms-giving.
Prayer: We need to learn to listen to God as well as petition. One of the ways of learning this form of prayer is through the sharing of the Word of God. On the Mondays of Lent I will lead a Lenten Scripture Sharing after the 9:00 AM Mass on the Mondays of Lent beginning on February 15th at 9:30 AM in the Baptistery. Do come and join me.
On the Wednesdays of Lent we will provide "The Light is on for you" by offering reconciliation/confession at 6:30 PM.
Fasting: Rice Bowls will be shared this Sunday and on Ash Wednesday. Place a bowl on your kitchen table and have a lesser meal on Fridays offering the savings to Catholic Relief Services (CRS), which 25% of this offering will be used by Holy Family for our Mission Outreach in Africa, Honduras and Haiti.
Also you are urged to join us for Friday Soup Suppers at Knights of Columbus Center off Hoadly Rd.
Almsgiving: Give to the parish; and support the Bishop's Lenten Ap-peal. I ask you to increase the number of donors this year. We need more than 20 percent of our congregation pledg-ing to support Bishop Loverde's many ministries.
May Lent bring home to us the message of Pope Francis for this year of mercy:
"Go forth as heralds of God's mercy"
Blessings, Fr. Gerry Creedon
Nuevos Feligreses y Feligreses con Cambio de dirección ¡Bienvenido a la Iglesia la Sagrada Familia! Estamos muy contentos que se
van a inscribir como miembro de la parroquia. Favor de llenar la siguiente información y devuélvalo a la oficina y nos pondremos en
Estimados Feligreses, El 10 de febrero se celebra el Miércoles de Ceniza, el comienzo de la Cuaresma, una temporada de oración, ayuno y limosna.
Oración: Tenemos que aprender a escuchar a Dios, así como la peti-ción. Una de las maneras de aprender esta forma de ora-ción es a través del compartir de la Palabra de Dios. Los lunes de Cuaresma voy a dirigir un Compartir de las Escrituras Cuaresmales, después de la Misa de las 9:00am, comenzando el 15 de febrero en el Baptiste-rio. Vengan y únanse a mí. Durante los miércoles de Cuaresma vamos a ofrecer "La Luz está Encendida para Ti", ofreciendo la Reconcilia-ción/Confesión a las 6:30pm.
Ayuno: El Tazón de Arroz se compartirá este domingo y el Miérco-les de Ceniza. Coloque un recipiente en la mesa de su cocina y haga una comida pequeña los viernes y ofrezcan los aho-rros a CRS (Servicios Católicos de Socorro). El 25% de esta ofrenda será utilizada por la Parroquia de la Sagrada Fa-milia para nuestra Misión de Ayuda en África, Honduras y Haití.
También se les invito a unirse a nosotros los viernes de Cua-resma para las Cenas de Sopa en el Club de los Caballeros de Colon en la Calle Hoadly.
Limosna: Dar sus ofrendas a la parroquia; y apoyar a la Petición Cuaresmal del Obispo. Les pido que este año se aumente el número de donantes. Necesitamos que más del 20 por cien-to de nuestros feligreses hagan su compromiso de apoyar a los muchos ministerios del Obispo Loverde. Que la Cuaresma traiga a nuestros hogares el mensaje del Papa Francisco para este Año de la Misericordia “"Vayan Adelante como Heraldos de la Misericordia de Dios".
Bendiciones, Padre Gerardo

“Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying,
‘Whom shall I send? Who will go for us?’
‘Here I am,’ I said, ‘send me!’” (ISAIAH 6:8)
Every day – in little ways and in big ways –
God asks, “Whom shall I send?”
Whether it is someone to take on a new ministry or
just someone to open a door for a stranger,
God constantly provides doors of opportunity.
The next time you hear God calling,
have the courage to walk through the door and say
“Here I am, Lord.”
2016 Bishop’s Lenten Appeal Begins! Go forth as heralds of God’s mercy!!
This weekend every family in our parish will be asked to
complete a Bishop’s Lenten Appeal (BLA) pledge form at
Mass. If you have already donated through the mail or
online or are not able to participate, there will be places to
note that on the form. After reflecting upon the many bless-
ings that God has given you, please prayerfully consider
making a pledge of support to this important appeal that
funds many programs, offices and ministries that serve peo-
ple in need and further Jesus' Mission in our diocese.
Petición Cuaresmal del Obispo de 2016
¡Vayan adelante como heraldos de la misericordia de Dios!
Este fin de semana, durante la Misa se pedirá a cada fami-
lia de nuestra parroquia que llene un formulario de prome-
sa de contribución a la Petición Cuaresmal del Obispo. Si
ustedes ya han donado por correo o por Internet o no pue-
den participar, habrá un lugar para señalarlo en el formu-
lario. Después de reflexionar sobre las muchas bendiciones
que Dios les ha dado, se les ruega que, en espíritu de ora-
ción, consideren la posibilidad de hacer una promesa de
contribución a esta importante petición que financia mu-
chos programas, oficinas y ministerios que sirven a las
personas necesitadas y llevan adelante la Misión de Jesús
en nuestra Diócesis.

HOLY FAMILY SCHOOL NEWS
Lenten Season...We use this season of preparation to grow
closer to God through prayer, fasting and service. This year, Holy Family Catholic Church and School will support Catholic Relief Services with CRS Rice Bowl, a family-based program that raises awareness of the issue of world hunger. Our school chil-dren and parishioners received a cardboard Rice Bowl and a Lenten calendar last week, which contains a prayer or reflection for you to say as a family each day throughout Lent, recipes for meatless Fridays and stories of hope from people around the world. Consider activating your Rice Bowl and representing our school on the national participation map at crsricebowl.org. We hope this is a valuable experience for your family this Lent!
Prayer of the Week…. Join us in saying the Lenten prayer (located on your Rice Bowl) as we begin our 40-day journey.
God of all creation we welcome you into our lives in a new
way this Lent. We are ready to serve your people, especially our
brothers and sisters who are in most need. We are ready to live out
your call to mercy.
Through our prayers, fasting and Lenten gifts, may we learn
to walk as one global human family. May we learn to listen to each
other, and in so doing hear the merciful words of Christ. Amen
Divine Mercy Chaplet...During Lent the faculty will have the opportunity to pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet daily, Monday – Friday, at 3:30. Please join us in the church if you would like to pray with us.
Stations of the Cross...The school will also pray the Stations
of the Cross on Fridays at 2:15 PM during lent: You are welcome to join us. There will not be Stations of the Cross on Friday, March 5th at 2:15 PM
Farewell…..Our current Middle School Math teacher, Mrs. Katie Lockwood, has left her teaching position due to a military move. Please keep her and her family in your thoughts and prayers as they travel to Washington State.
Welcome...Mr. David Lemelin will join our faculty as the Mid-
dle School Math teacher for the remainder of the year. Mr. Le-melin is a retired military officer and former senior executive. He has a lifetime of experience teaching and leading and was twice selected as the US Army’s Teacher of the Year. Mr. Le-melin has also directed major programs that have created cut-ting edge teaching, curriculum development and assessment methodologies for a wide range of learning solutions at all edu-cational levels. He has enjoyed years of experience in coaching youth sports programs. Mr. Lemelin was born and raised in Detroit, but has lived in many locations around the US and the world. He is a graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point and is a highly decorated combat veteran. Mr. Lemelin’s wife, Brooke, served as an educational administrator for several years in the Prince William County school system. He has two children, his son David, a USMC officer and his daughter Madison, a student at Mary Washington University.
From the desk of Mrs. Judi Peacott,
This week, Kaydee Pupets will delight our preschool Chil-dren with a performance of the 3 Billy Goats Gruff and the Princess and the Pea! This is one of our favorite “in-house field trips” and it should be enjoyed by all! Our 3 year old class is welcome to join us at 10:00 AM on Friday, 2/12 for this special event.
Our program is designed for preschool children, ages 3-5, offering both full-day and part-day programs. We provide a Christ-centered atmosphere and a wonderful, nurturing environment. We are currently accepting ap-plications for the 2016-17 preschool year. To find out more information about our program or to schedule a tour, please contact Mrs. Judi Peacott, 703-670-8161 ext. 314.

Friday Night Lenten Soup Suppers
Once again this year during Lent Holy Family will be having its Friday Night Lenten Soup suppers starting on Fri-day February 12th, 5:30 PM. Because of lack of meeting space at the Church, the dinners will be held at the
John Paul I Columbian Center located at 12965 Trentdale Ave, Dale City. All are welcome.
Each dinner will feature a different guest speaker whose topic will focus on a relevant Social Justice issue, as it per-tains to the Catholic Church.
If you would like to volunteer to sponsor one of our soup suppers by making soup, please contact Debbie White at 703-494-3181 or Larry Pemberton at 703-472-4572 or [email protected].
Though reservations are not required, they are desired for planning purposes. You may sign up by doing so on our web site under “Quick Links”.
Blood Pressure Screening
Why check your blood pressure? About 1 in 3 adults in the United States has high blood pressure (HBP). HBP itself usu-ally has no symptoms. You can have it for years without knowing it. During this time, though, it can damage the heart, blood
vessels, kidneys, and other parts of your body. This is why knowing your blood pressure numbers is impor-tant, even when you’re felling fine.
The next Free Blood Pressure screening will be on Sunday, February 14th, in the Baptistery.
Cruise to Bermuda With Fr. Gerry September 18-25, 2016
The Knights of Columbus are sponsoring a fundraising 7-day cruise to Bermuda aboard the 3-year-old Norwegian Break-away. Fr. Gerry will celebrate daily Mass while we are at sea.
Leaving from New York, this cruise will spend three days in Bermuda to enjoy that beautiful island.
Best of all, Norwegian Cruise lines will donate money to the Knights Charity Corporation based on the number of cabins booked. These funds will enable the Knights to continue to assist in their charity efforts, many of which are tied into Holy Family.
Round trip bus from the Knights home to New York will be available at $75.00 per person.
Book early to be eligible for special perks like unlimited free beverages or dine in the specialty restaurants.
For more information on the cruise, contact Lynda Dodd at 703-670-2329 or [email protected].
