MISSION STATEMENT
Holy Family Catholic Church is a spiritually and socially active parish. Rooted in the Word of God and nourished by the Eucharist, we celebrate the life of our Lord Jesus Christ by proclaiming the Good News and providing spiritual growth, support and service with love. Founded by
Italian immigrants a century ago, today our parish continues the tradition of extending a loving, caring and affirming welcome to all who join us as
we Continue Our Journey of Faith.
La Chiesa Cattolica Santa Famiglia e’ una parrocchia socialmente e spiritualmente attiva. Radicata nella Parola di Dio e nutrite dall’eucarestia,
celebriamo la vita del nostro Signore Gesu’Cristo proclamando la buona novella e provvedendo crescita spirituale, supporto e servizio con amore.
Fondata un secolo fa’ da immigranti italiani, oggi, la nostra parrocchia continua la tradizione di estendere un amorevole, caro e reconoscente benvenuto a tutti coloro che con noi continuano e condividono il nostro cammino di fede.
Ang simbahang katoliko ng banal na pamilya ay isang masiglang parokya sa espirituwal at ugnayang panlipunan. Nakaugat sa salita ng diyos
at pinalusog ng eukaristiya, ipanagdiriwant namin ang buhay ng ating panginoong hesukristo sa pagpapahayag ng mabuting balita at paguudulot ng
paglago sa kabanalan, paggabay, at mapagmahal na paglilingkod. Itinatag ng mga dayuhang italiano may isang-daan taon na ang nakakalipas, ngayon ang aming parokya ay patuloy sa pag-ugit ng tradisyon ng mapag-aruga, mapagkalinga, at mapagkilang pagtanggap sa mga sumapi saamin
habang patuloy sa paglalakbay sa panaampalataya.
7th Sunday in Easter 2015-B
My brothers and sisters in the Lord!
Sometimes people may say they pray but feel their prayers are not answered
and, in today’s Gospel, we hear the prayers of Jesus. With true sincerity, Jesus prays
out loud to the Father with the innermost concerns of His heart. With deep intimacy
and confidence, He pours out His deepest feelings about the future mission of the
disciples in the church which He was forming. He appeals to the Father to carry out
His plan for the world, which will draw all people together in the common bond of
love. The unity on love in these apostles is to be the pattern in His community for
all ages to come. This unity among Christians announces to the world the love that Christ has for all people
and His wish to share His life with them. The main point of His prayer for unity emphasizes that we will find
this unity not in one another but in Jesus Himself. The more we grow like Jesus, the more we grow like one
another and our differences stem from not resembling Him sufficiently; it is only by a strong unity of one
generation of believers with the next and of one part of the church with the other that Christian oneness be
really achieved.
We must also remember that we are the living stones in the building of which there is only one
foundation - - that is, Jesus Christ. Each one of us has the responsibility of promoting unity in a world so
largely indifferent to the church. People will not know the presence of Jesus unless we ourselves bear witness
and they see His face in our face. Our love must extend not only to friends but to strangers as well and it
comes through generous and selfless giving. If the prayer of Jesus is to be realized, our oneness in the Lord
must be visible. People should be able to see it. It does no good for believers to proclaim they are God’s
children, baptized in eternal life, when the image they present to the world is one of division instead of unity
and peace.
Today is a special day in the life of our parish as we congratulate
Vincent D’Agostino, who will be ordained to the order of Deacon at the
12:00 noon Mass in the Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Newark.
We pray for “Deacon Vincent” and his class as they continue their
discernment toward the Priesthood of our Lord Jesus.
Next Saturday, May 23rd, we pray for the Ordination Class 2015 to
the Priesthood of our Lord Jesus. Please pray for these men as they begin
their ministry in the Priesthood, that the Holy Spirit will guide them as they
face the challenges which their ministry may bring. Please continue to pray
for vocations and, in a special way, pray for the many priests and religious
who struggle in their vocations. Deacon Antonio will celebrate his Mass of
Thanksgiving here at Holy Family on Saturday, May 30th, at 5:30 PM.
Peace,
Fr. Joe
