Dear Parishioners,
We are now in our last week of the year. This Sunday we celebrate the feast of the Holy Family. This feast reminds us of the importance of family. This is the place where we learn how to live with others, how to receive and give love. It is in the family that we receive instruction of what is the important aspects of life. As Christian families, our faith is our priority and is to be handed down to our children. This is one aspect that we need to once again make an important part of families that have children. This was the activity of the early Christian church. There was no religious education program in the early Church. Children were taught the faith by their parents.
Parents were also to be examples of how to live their faith. As it is said, children set their watches by the clocks of their parents. This is our main approach to our religious education program. In Grades 3-6, we have parents come to be instructed in the faith and we have them teach their children the basics of our Christian faith. As is said in the baptism rite, parents are the first teachers of their children in the ways of faith. If you think of it, the old system was to have your children go to CCD one hour a week for 24 lessons. That comes to one day a year in religious instruction. Parents have their children every day of the year. So who really teaches them. If the faith is not lived in the house, then much is not accomplished by one hour a week. Parents are responsible for the religious education of their children. It is the most important duty for a child’s eternity is at stake. The most important thing for a parent is to see that their children are put on a path that will lead them to heaven. As a Church, we are to be there to help parents in their responsibility. If we can have the parents grow in a personal relationship with Jesus, then we have fulfilled our responsibility and the children are given an environment to grow in their relationship with Jesus.
Family life is under a lot of pressure and is in critical condition. We pray that the Holy Family pray for our families, to help us imitate them in our own families.
This Friday is New Year’s Day. It is the feast of Mary, Mother of God. This is a good feast to begin our new year for Mary is a good example of being a disciple of Jesus, her Son. She was a woman in love with God and in love of neighbor. She was a woman who said “yes” to God. She said “yes” to the will of God in her life. As we make new year resolutions, may we resolve to live more in the ways taught by Jesus. May we live in trust of God, obedient to His commands, love in our relationships and each day growing in our relationship with Jesus. May we live in trust of God, obedient to His commands, love in our relationships, and each day growing in our relationship with Jesus. May we live simply and acknowledge our many blessings. I do pray that this new year bring you the peace and love of Jesus and may He shepherd you in all of your needs. May the Lord also bring peace to the world and delivers us from all the evil that we see present in this world.
On New Year’s Eve, the Praise and Worship Group will gather for an 8 p.m. Mass. They invite the community to join them for the Mass and for food in the hall. The Mass will fulfill your holy day obligation.
God love you,

December 8, 2015 to November 20, 2016 Immaculate Conception to Christ the King
Please place this page on your refrigerator for this week’s reflection;
"My thoughts now turn to the Mother of Mercy. May the sweetness of her countenance watch over us in this Holy Year, so that all of us may rediscover the joy of God’s tenderness. No one has penetrated the profound mystery of the incarnation like Mary. Her entire life was patterned after the presence of mercy made flesh. The Mother of the Crucified and Risen One has entered the sanctuary of divine mercy because she participated intimately in the mystery of His love.
Chosen to be the Mother of the Son of God, Mary, from the outset, was prepared by the love of God to be the Ark of the Covenant between God and man. She treasured divine mercy in her heart in perfect harmony with her Son Jesus. Her hymn of praise, sung at the threshold of the home of Elizabeth, was dedicated to the mercy of God which extends from “generation to generation” (Lk 1:50). We too were included in those prophetic words of the Virgin Mary. This will be a source of comfort and strength to us as we cross the threshold of the Holy Year to experience the fruits of divine mercy." - Pope Francis
As we prepare to celebrate the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God and usher in our secular New Year, let us commend our Holy Year of Mercy to Mary so that we will be receptive to all the mercies the Lord provides.

Thank you to our wonderful parishioners for the tremendous response to our Giving Trees! We were once again, overwhelmed with the tremendous response to this year’s Giving Trees. The
generosity of so many parishioners will enable hundreds of less fortunate individuals to have warm clothing and gifts under the tree as well as food on the table. We wish to thank the many volunteers who worked with our coordinator, Rose Finn. Much thanks to Janet Rivers, Lynn McCormack, Suzanne Hoffman and Pat Hardacker. This project could not have been accomplished without all of their dedication and hard work. We thank you for making the year 2015 a year filled with the blessings that made our work possible. God bless you and your kind and generous hearts.

LITURGY CORNERLITURGY CORNERLITURGY CORNERLITURGY CORNER
In the story of Abraham, Sarah, and Isaac, we see God ever-present in the struggle, faithful to His covenantal promises. During periods of doubt and fear, the faith of Abraham and Sarah sustains them. With this family, we see the foreshadowing of the Holy Family that is to come - Jesus, Mary, and Joseph.
Today's reading offers a prime example of the ideal family structure, one in which "honor" governs family ties. Children are clearly expected to obey and revere their parents, while parents are to support each other and exercise authority over their children with care.
From the Jewish perspective, living out proper family relations is not an end in itself. How one honors and respects parents has a direct impact on one's relationship with God. According to Sirach, when a child "honors" and "reveres" his father, especially in old age, various divine rewards come to the family.
