December 31—Holy Family “Whatever you do,” says St Paul to the Colossians, “...do it in the name of the Lord Jesus. Give thanks to God the Father through Him.” And so it is that we offer our gifts in the Eu-charist “through Him, with Him, and in Him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit.”
STEWARDSHIP IN ACTION.
Our model of stewardship this week is our patron, St. Joseph. He takes the Holy Child to present Him to the Lord as is
proscribed by the Law. Are we offering up those things that matter most to the Lord—our children, families, blessings, health, graces? What is the condition of our hearts as we do so?

Become an Altar Server “If anyone serves me, my Father will honor him.” Jn 12:26 We need altar servers of all ages currently in the 4th grade or above, this means adults of all ages as well. We especially need servers for the 10:30am Sunday Mass. Pope Francis has said of altar servers, “In the liturgy, you are much more than simple helpers of the parish priest. Above all, you are serv-ers of Jesus Christ, of the eternal High Priest.” Adult wom-en & men altar servers, regardless of age, can be an inspira-tion to their peers & deepen their own commitment to Jesus & His church. Keep in mind the words of Jesus, “If anyone serves me, my Father will honor him.” Call Cindy in the parish office for more information.
