The Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph St. Michael The Archangel Church, Union, New Jersey We are all destined to live in families: Jesus was no exception. Jesus’ family, like most of ours was not a family of great privilege. They fulfilled the ritual requirements of Judaism and returned to their simple lives in Nazareth. There, we can presume, they followed the sometimes difficult call to honor, love and respect one another … just like us.

A NEW YEAR'S PRAYER May God make your year a happy one! Not by shielding you from all sorrows and pain. But by strengthening you to bear it, as it comes; Not by making your path easy, But by making you sturdy to travel any path; Not by taking hardships from you, But by taking fear from your heart; Not by granting you unbroken sunshine, But by keeping your face bright, even in the shadows; Not by making your life always pleasant, But by showing you when people and their causes need you most, and by making you anxious to be there to help. God's love, peace, hop and job to you for the year ahead 0622-3 St. Michael The Archangel Church, Union, New Jersey December 27 & 28, 2014 ALTAR SERVERS’ SCHEDULE Time 5:30pm 7:30am 9:00am 10:30am 12:00nn Dec. 27-28 Feast of the Holy Family 1.Clarina Kunnath 2.Joseph Veliakath 3.Jenelle Baul 4.Angel Rodriguez Dec. 31- Jan 1 Motherhood of Mary 1.Alyssa Dela Cruz 2.Joseph Veliakath 3.Jenelle Baul 4.Angel Rodriguez 1.Jarlene Estopia 2.Chika Adibemma 3.Uzonna Adibemma 4.Ugochi Adibemma 1.Tiago Torres 2.Desi Garcia 3.Giovanna Garcia 4.Aidan Perez 1.Freneta Amalraj 2.Johnruel Magno 3.Jianna Fernandez 4.Jerome Fernandez 1.Julia Durugo 2.Justin Durugo 3.Charles Ozurumba 4.Ginika Ozurumba Computers Gym Art Music Spanish 1.Joshua Estoque 2.Paschal Nwako 3.Jed Iglesia 4.Lorenz Tangub These past 2 weeks we have had Christmas Celebrations with the disabled children of the ARC, cookedand served dinner to our friends at the Quadriplegic Center and served dinner to the residents of the Nursing Home.
