Welcome, John�
As some of you may know, our parishioner, John Ladroga, has
been studying to be ordained a Permanent Deacon. We are
delighted to share with you the news that beginning in January,
John has been assigned to do an internship with us here at St.
Mary’s. We look forward to welcoming John as he joins our
parish staff in the New Year and pray that our parish community
will be good mentors for him as he prepares for ordina�on.

Hai�, we again helped area Food Banks with our Second Annual
Golf Ou�ng, we provided over 100 winter coats, hats and gloves
to area children in need, we helped deliver Thanksgiving meals
and Giving Tree giAs donated by parishioners, �we cooked �meals
and we conducted the youth soccer challenge and free throw
contest at Holden Days. Of course, we could not have done all
this without the con�nued support of our parish family �Thank
you!� We look forward to a busy 2020.�

reflect upon the many blessings that we
have received from our God during this
past year. For some of us 2019 has been a
year of exceptional blessings. Please
consider an end of year gift to St. Mary’s. Not only is it a sign of
gratitude to God, but your gift also assists us as a parish family to
bring the Good News to others and share the caring and
compassion of Christ with those who are hurting and in need.

Stewardship IN OUR PARISH BUDGET 2019�2020�
�
� � � Weekly YTD�
Amount Needed…………..…….........$10,218�
�
Due to early submission no totals are available.�
Today, as we con�nue celebra�ng the
Christmas season, we focus our aEen�on
on the Holy Family. This is a great �me to
thank God for the giA of family life. The
Catechism of the Catholic Church refers to
the family as the “domes�c church,” so
today’s feast is a fiIng �me to
consider the importance of the virtue of
the stewardship pillar of hospitality
within the context of our own domes�c
churches.�Why is hospitality so important? Well, we can hardly
expect our family members to pray together, study their faith, and
serve others if we have a home where we are disconnected from
each other, or the atmosphere is stressful and tense. Of course
there will be moments like this. But we must be inten�onal in
crea�ng homes where everyone feels accepted and important.
We want our homes to be the place to get recharged to go out
and bring love to everyone we encounter outside our home.�
This is not easy, but we can turn to the Holy Family for help. Lest
we think that the Holy Family is somehow unable to sympathize
with our struggles, we see in our Gospel passage from MaEhew
that this Family was certainly not free from trials and stress; quite
the contrary. The very life of the newborn Jesus was threatened
by Herod’s extreme jealousy such that the family had to flee
suddenly into a foreign land for protec�on un�l Herod’s death.
Yet Mary and Joseph remained united and ever obedient to
the�Holy Spirit for direc�on. Who beEer to turn to for help and
inspira�on for our own families?�
