Dear Parents of First Communicants:
The family, described by the Second Vatican Council as the "domestic church," is the model for faith formation and spiritual development, where children first learn the virtues to be People of God. Children first encounter the Gospel and its message, and learn to pray, at home. It is through the kindness and loving expression of family members that children see the tenderness of God's love come to life. In and through family life children observe what it means to be a true follower of Jesus! At Holy Name of Jesus Church, parents play the primary role in preparing their children for First Reconciliation and First Communion through a home-based study program, with guidance and support from the parish. Therefore, on one Monday evening in October, November, January and March, children will meet with a catechist in the second grade classroom and the parents will meet in the Sr. Regina Conference Room, from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. The schedule for the meeting dates is as follows: Block I - October 5: November 2 January 4: March: 1
Block II - October 12: November 9: January 11: March: 8
Block III - October 19: November 16: January 18 March: 15
Block IV - October 27: November 24: January 26: March: 30
• PARISH MISSION IS ON February 22-24

February is dedicated to The Holy Family
Joseph got up, took the child and his mother by night, and departed to Egypt, and remained there until the death of Herod.
This was to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the
prophet, “Out of Egypt have I called my son.”
Matthew 2:13-15 RSV-SCE O most loving Jesus, Who by Thy surpassing virtues and the example
of Thy home life didst hallow the household in which Thou didst choose
to live while on earth, mercifully look down upon this family, whose
members, humbly prostrate before Thee, implore Thy protection. Remember
that we are Thine, bound and consecrated to Thee by a special devotion.
Protect us in Thy mercy, deliver us from danger, help us in our
necessities, and impart to us strength to persevere always in the
imitation of Thy Holy Family, so that, by serving Thee and loving Thee
faithfully during this mortal life, we may at length give Thee eternal
praise in heaven.
O Mary, dearest Mother, we implore thy assistance, knowing that thy divine Son will hearken to thy petition.
And do thou, most glorious patriarch, St. Joseph, help us with thy
powerful patronage, and place our petitions in Mary's hands, that she
may offer them to Jesus Christ. Amen. |
