PASTOR’S NOTES
Vocation Awareness Week
Pope St. Pius X once said, “Every vocation to the
priesthood comes from the heart of God, but it passes
through the heart of a mother and father.”
In an interview for a Spanish-language newspaper,
Pope Francis’ only living sibling, Maria Elena Bergoglio,
recounts how their mother discovered how her brother
was interested in the priesthood.
At age 19, young Jorge Bergoglio initially felt that he
wanted to study medicine. Wanting him to have a
quiet place to study, his mother cleaned out a cluttered
closet. One day the future pope’s mother entered the
room and to her surprise she came across books on
theology.
Maria recounted the conversation between her
mother and brother:
“Jorge, come here. You told me that you were going
to study medicine.”
“Yes, mother.”
“Why did you lie to me?”
“No I did not lie to you mother; I am going to study
the medicine of the soul.”
Surprised by the news, his mother wept, because she
understood he would have to leave home to study. His
father, however, rejoiced at his son’s vocation.
Eventually the entire family embraced his call to
priesthood. Jorge Bergoglio was ordained a priest in
1969 and elected Pope in 2013.
Vocations to the priesthood and religious life grow
on trees….family trees.
DEMONSTRATE YOUR THANKFULNESS THIS
SEASON
Each holiday season, Holy Family anticipates and
relies on a seasonal increase in contributions. It is
through the donations of every individual and family in
the congregation that we are able to carry on our work
now and throughout the year. If you need a convenient
way to make recurring contributions or plan to make
an additional gift before the end of the year, we
encourage you to check out our electronic giving
options. As the pace of life speeds up around the
holidays, you may find electronic giving a most
welcome way to make contributions. To set up a
recurring giving schedule, visit us on
holyfamilysyr.org and locate the Online Giving button.
Or if it’s easier, call the parish office (488-3139) and
we will send one and just drop it in the collection
basket or at the office. Thank you for your generosity
and support.

THAT COUPLES ATTEND THE BAPTISMAL CLASS
BEFORE THE BABY IS BORN. (If you have attended a
baptism class within the past few years, you may not have
to attend again.) Normally, baptisms are the 2nd and 4th
Sundays of the month.
Saints Names
Mildred, Melissa, Millie, Milly – mild strength - St.
Mildred was an abbess with a reputation for great
holiness and generosity and compassion for the poor
and rejected. She chose this life over marrying into
nobility and wealth. Her detachment from this world’s
comforts strengthened her firm commitment to Jesus
and His poor.
Otto – rich – St. Otto of Bamberg was a priest who
worked for the royal court, but when his emperor
broke from Rome and then appointed him bishop, the
saint refused the position, declaring his obedience to
the Church. He became bishop only after the Pope
consecrated him.
HOMEBOUND Anyone needing a priest to visit for any of the
Sacraments please call the pastoral care office at
488-3139, ext. 23.
Are you willing to share some of your time and your
love for God in the ministry for the homebound as a
Eucharist minister? Please Call Sr. Anna Maria at 4883139 ext. 23.
PERPETUAL EUCHARISTIC ADORATION
In the Eucharist, Christ is present in His soul and
divinity, and in His body and blood. He is present not
only as the Son of God but as the Son of Man and Son
of Mary. Spending time in the presence of the
Eucharist is a powerful encounter with the Divine.
Experience the transformation that can occur when you
respond to His call to be with Him in the Adoration
Chapel. If interested in your own hour, call Tom
Colabufo at 487-8377. God Bless!
ELIZABETH MINISTRY
Elizabeth Ministry is an international movement
focused on the dignity of human life and strengthening
relationships in order to build up the family and create
vibrant communities. Our core values are to respect all
life, cherish children, encourage families, enrich
marriages and build community. We offer an
opportunity for a like-to-like ministry – a pairing of
someone who’s gone through something similar to
someone who is currently going through the same kind
of thing. We aren’t counselors; we are just friends.
Friends from the parish who want to bring God’s love
to one another, in joyful moments and in very difficult
ones. We aren’t professionals; we are just people who
care. People who care enough to want to reach out to
someone else so they don’t feel so alone in their
current circumstances. Though we may pass each
other or see each other at Masses on weekends,
perhaps there is something tugging at your heart asking
you to play a part in God’s plan of weaving us together
in love and care for one another. Contact Rita Condon
at 673-9458 or email elizabethministryritatgamil.com.
