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.
Pentecost 2015 - B
My brothers and sisters in the Lord!
Today we celebrate the Feast of Pentecost, the birthday of the Church. The coming of the
Holy Spirit on that first day of Pentecost was not a once-and-for-all event but rather, the beginning
of His permanent presence in the Church. It is by virtue of our baptism that the Holy Spirit is closer to us than we dare imagine.
Whenever there are hearts open to receive Him, the Spirit of God is poured out, inspiring minds to undertake their mission as
representatives of Jesus. This feast brings home to us that God calls us to a deeper relationship with Him and wants us to share in
His life. It is an invitation to enkindle the fire of love as well as to stir up our baptismal call. We don’t always know when the Spirit
moves us and yet we are often surprised by the power that drives us into action. Whenever we go beyond our own selfish
indifference and reach out in genuine concern to people in trouble, it is then that the Spirit of God is at work guiding us and giving
us renewed strength to turn, upside down, accepted human values and the will to move along in a new direction.
As we face the many trials and crosses in life, as well as the difficulties and disappointments which can leave our daily
lives in tatters, we stand in need of the help of the Holy Spirit, whose presence makes such a difference to our outlook. Jesus has
promised that the power of the Spirit will come if we ask for Him. It is important that in prayer we leave the door of our hearts open
to invite Him in. We become different persons and changed people to the extent that we allow the Holy Spirit to disturb our
complacency, uproot our mediocrity and make way for fresh growth. If we allow the Holy Spirit to work, we are permitting Him to
lead us and to bring us that joy, peace and love, which we all want in our lives. As we celebrate this day, let us thank God for the
gift of the Holy Spirit, who works in countless hidden ways to deepen our faith, fill us with strength and inspiration, and renew our
lives.
As you know, yesterday Deacon Antonio and his classmates were ordained to the Priesthood of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Our
newly ordained Father Antonio will celebrate his Mass of Thanksgiving here at Holy Family next Saturday, May 30, at 5:30 P.M.
We remind you that there will be no Italian Mass next Saturday; the 5:30 and 7:00 Masses will be combined. Please pray for all of
our newly ordained as they begin their new assignments.
Next Sunday, May 31, Most Rev. Thomas Donato will join us with the celebration of the Sacrament of Confirmation at
4:30 P.M. There will be no 7:00 Mass next Sunday. If that is your usual Mass, please join us at the 4:30 celebration. Please pray for
all of our young adults as they receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit in their lives.
Have a great Memorial Day weekend and please be safe if you are traveling.
Peace,
Fr. Joe
KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS
BABY BOTTLE FUNDRAISER 2015
Just a reminder...The Knights of
Columbus are still collecting Baby
Bottles for their 2015 fundraiser to
make a Change for Life. If you haven’t had an opportunity to return your Baby
Bottle, please do so either to the rectory or give your
bottle to one of the ushers after Mass. Empty Bottles should
also be returned to reduce our expenses for the next fundraiser.
Thank you
People are always needed to carry the gifts during
Mass. Please see an usher prior to Mass and let him
know if you desire to do so. Thank you!
UPDATE ON 2016 MASS BOOK OPENING

STEWARDSHIP OF TREASURE
“There are different kinds of spiritual gifts
but the same Spirit; there are different forms
of service but the same Lord; there are
different workings but the same God who
produces all of them in everyone.”
- 1 Corinthians 12:4-6
By giving each of us different gifts, God
made sure that the Church would have the
right combination of time, talent and treasure
that was needed to do His work. However, if
one of us does not utilize our gifts, God’s
plan goes unfulfilled. Some important work is left undone.
For Sunday, May 17, 2015:
The actual collection was $9,092.00;
$1,656.00 of which came from Parish Pay.
The 2nd Collection for Shared School Expenses was
$1,683.00.
The Collection for Ascension Thursday was: $1,237.00.
Mass Attendance was 1,354.
God Bless You For Your Continued Generosity!
For Sunday, May 18, 2014
The actual collection was $8,637.00;
$1,273.00 of which came from Parish Pay.
The 2nd Collection for School Subsidy was $1,430.00.
