Fr. Phil’s article continued on Page 3

Thank You

I’d like to begin this year by offering my thanks. Many

thanks to all of our volunteers who continued to organize

the many good things that we do to help our community.

Thank you to all those who contributed and donated

toward these causes as well as for your continued

support for our parishes. Thank you to all those that

were directly involved in preparing our churches for

Christmas, whether it was on the grounds itself or for/

during the liturgies. Thank you for those who have

cleaned, sanitized, and disinfected the churches

throughout this pandemic. Thank you for all others who

labor behind the scenes for the glory of God. Your efforts

help people find Jesus.

Thank you to all those who have sent or left me

Christmas cards and gifts. I am thankful for all of you,

and I pray this year will be filled with an abundance of the

Father’s blessings as we begin 2021.

Epiphany Water Blessing

Just another reminder that after Holy Mass this Tuesday,

January 5th, a special blessing will take place for a

sacramental known as Epiphany Water. The solemn rite

includes various devotional prayers and specific prayers

offered by the priest to cast out evil. This sacramental is

quite powerful as it receives a two-fold prayer of

exorcism. The rite itself will be about forty-five minutes.

People are encouraged to bring their own large

containers filled with water (preferably one gallon or more

unless you are unable to carry that). Also, be sure to

bring salt as that will receive special prayers as well.

Make sure you clearly label all containers of water and

salt that you bring so that you would be able to take it

home with you. Every single container of water will be

individually blessed.

If you are unable to attend but would like to have

Epiphany Water, drop off your large containers of water to

the parish office no later than Monday, January 4

th

so that

sufficient time is given for everything to be set

up appropriately. To those simply dropping off

water and not staying for the rite, please limit it

to 2 one gallon containers.

Beware of Scammers

They exist and will ask you for help, gift cards,

and a whole lot of other things. They will pose

as friends, family, and other people you know,

like me. Please ignore such requests. You can

always verify with the parish office if it sounds

like a legitimate need. If it is vague, ignore

them. Thank you.

Duty as Citizens

Paragraphs 2239-40 from the Catechism of the

Catholic Church highlights the duties that

citizens have to the good of society. For the

sake of the common good, each citizen is

morally obliged “to pay taxes, to exercise the

right to vote, and to defend one’s country.”

When we vote, we expect that our individual

voices are heard and given a fair share among

other voters. We expect that the process of

tabulating votes will be honest and done with

integrity. When evidence presents itself to the

contrary, it is something that we cannot simply

let slide, no matter what the outcome. There is

a compilation of election irregularities in a

document known as The Navarro Report. It can

be downloaded from the following URL:

https://www.scribd.com/document/488495896/

Navarro-Report From the report’s executive

summary: “Evidence used to conduct this

assessment includes more than 50 lawsuits

and judicial rulings, thousands of affidavits and

declarations, testimony in a variety of state

venues, published analyses by think tanks and

legal centers, videos and photos, public

comments, and extensive press coverage.” It is

quite extensive in it’s compilation of evidence.

This is about election integrity, not partisan

politics. There is something each of us can

do to see that our legislators guarantee the

integrity of the election. The following URL

will help you send an e-mail or a tweet

(Twitter) to Senator Debbie Stabenow,

Senator Gary Peters, and Representative

Paul Mitchell III: https://votervoice.net/

It can also provide you with their office

phone numbers. Please consider contacting

them before January 6th.

God bless your week.

Dear Jesus,�

I thank You with all my heart for the

blessings poured out upon me through

the gi� of Bap�sm. I ask You to send

Your Spirit upon me to keep my mind

and heart open to Your plan for my life.

I pray for an increase in all voca�ons to

the religious life. I especially pray for

this seminarian. Keep him close to

You, and fill him with a zealous love for

You and for Your people. Strengthen

and encourage him to be a%en�ve to

Your Word and obedient to Your will.

We ask the intercession of Your

blessed mother, Mary, to form him in

Your divine image, by the power of

Your Spirit, to the glory of God the

Father. Amen.�

EVERYDAY STEWARDSHIP -

RECOGNIZE GOD IN YOUR ORDINARY

MOMENTS

Wise Men See God in the Simple Things.

If you’re on social media, you have probably seen a

meme going around that features this quote: “God has a

plan for your life. The enemy has a plan for your life.

Be ready for both. Just be wise enough to know which

one to battle and which one to embrace.”

There were certainly two competing plans for the Magi:

God’s and Herod’s. And, wise as they supposedly were,

it wasn’t entirely easy for the Magi to discern which

was which.

After all, Herod posed as a friend. He offered the Magi

hospitality and kindness. Though the Gospel doesn’t

say so, he probably flattered them and appealed to

every moral weakness he could observe in them. In his

palace, they must have felt great physical comfort —

rest and tables of plenty on what was an otherwise long

and treacherous journey.

But if the Magi were honest with themselves, I’ll bet

they would have admitted that, regardless of Herod’s

charm, they felt a gnawing sense of doubt while in his

presence. When they looked upon the Christ Child,

born in a stable without any of the comforts of the

world or protections of wealth, they probably felt the

opposite. They probably felt safe.

The Magi were lucky enough to have the right plan

spelled out for them in a dream, but for the rest of us,

it’s enough to remember this: God’s plan is often the

one that leads us to places of great simplicity, great

humility and great love. Let’s have the wisdom to view

power with suspicion, and innocence with admiration.

The Epiphany of the Lord

Today, in St. Matthew’s Gospel, the

evangelist retells the story of the

Magi visiting the Christ-child, the

newborn King. In this initial meet-

ing, they are overwhelmed, and in

response, venerate our Lord by

prostrating themselves, face down.

The Magi open their treasures and

offer Jesus gold, frankincense, and

myrrh. These gifts foreshadow

Christ’s royalty, divinity, and suffer-

ing. The Scripture passages from

Isaiah and St. Paul further convey

that the Good News of salvation is

to be proclaimed to all people. Do

we, as faithful stewards strive to

follow the Magi’s example of offering

adoration, praise, and glory to God?

Do we, in thanksgiving, embrace the

Good News, deepening our person-

al relationship in Christ? Then, in

turn, spread His joy, peace, and

message of hope and salvation to

all those we meet? To help you en-

counter Christ, plan to attend an

evangelization event offered at your

parish.

COVID-19 UPDATE

WHY ARE THE WINDOWS OPEN IN CHURCH?

In order to stop the spread of COVID-19, the CDC

recommends that indoor environments have increased

airflow in occupied spaces whenever possible. With that, the

church windows are being opened slightly, as well as one of

the outdoor entrances. In addition, the fans are being kept on

low. Even though the windows are open and the fans are on,

the heat is also on maintaining a relatively comfortable room

temperature. If sitting by an open window is undesirable,

please sit in a seat that is more comfortable; please do not

shut the windows.

The worship space, restrooms, gathering space, and

sacristies are disinfected after each Mass celebrated here at

Holy Family.

These and other protocols are in place to minimize the

spread of COVID-19 and to allow us to continue to hold

public Masses.

WHAT ROLE CAN YOU PLAY TO HELP MINIMIZE

THE SPREAD OF COVID 19 AT CHURCH?

To help minimize the spread of COVID 19, it is asked that

you participate in these practices:

• Stay home if you are sick. If you are not feeling well,

have a cough, or are experiencing any symptoms of

COVID, please refrain from attending Mass in person

and watch Mass online or on television.

• Wear a mask. Please put on your mask prior to entering

the church building and keep it on.

• Sanitize your hands. Sanitize your hands at the Hand

Sanitizing stations as you enter the building.

• Practice social distancing. Be mindful of proper social

distancing when choosing a seat and when going up to

receive Communion.

The Knights of Columbus will be praying

the Rosary on Saturday, January 9, 2021

at the flag pole in front of Holy Family

(weather permitting). The Rosary will

begin precisely at 12 noon. If the

weather is bad, the Rosary will be prayed

in the Life Center’s gathering space.

Join us as we pray for our country, our

Church and for the intentions of the

Knights of Columbus.

Blessed Mother invites us to pray, pray,

pray as she has shared in numerous

visitations. Number three of the 15

promises of the Rosary is, “The Rosary shall be a powerful

armor against hell, it will destroy vice, decrease sin, and

defeat heresies.”

http://themostholyrosary.com/15promises.htm).

The rosary has worked miracles and is a powerful tool

against the unrest and the evils in the world. Continue to

pray the Rosary, every day, until we meet together at the

Flag Pole.

See you there!

10 Tips: Cut Back on Your Family’s Sweet Treats

Limit the amount of food and beverages with added

sugar your family eats and drinks. If you don’t buy them,

your family won’t get them very often. Sweet treats and

sugary drinks have a lot of calories and few nutrients.

Most added sugars come from soda, sports drinks,

energy drinks, juice, cakes, cookies, ice cream, candy,

and other desserts.

1. Serve small portions A small number of treats can

go a long way. Use smaller bowls and plates for these

foods and share a candy bar or split a large cupcake.

2. Sip smarter. Offer water instead of sugary drinks.

3. Choose not to offer sweets as rewards Reward

your family with kind words and comforting hugs, or give

non-food items to make them feel special.

4. Make fruit the everyday

dessert Serve baked apples, pears,

fruit salad or frozen juice bars

(100% juice) instead of high-calorie

desserts.

Make food fun. Make nutritious foods fun by preparing

them with your family and being creative together.

Create smiley faces with sliced bananas and raisins.

Cut fruit into fun easy shapes with cookie cutters.

Cardinal Mooney News

Do you have an 8th grader who is ready to join

the Cardinal Mooney Catholic community?

Acceptance letters will be going out at the end of January.

If your student hasn’t yet applied, it isn’t too late. There is

still time for them to be a part of the Class of 2024.

In considering Cardinal Mooney Catholic, you are

considering a high school of distinction. In doing so, you

have joined the ranks of students who have earned

scholarships to very prestigious colleges and universities

across the country. You have opened the doors not only

to great academics, but participation in championship

athletics, a nationally recognized art program, social

enrichment, National finalist First Robotics program, State

finalist Mock Trial, and so much more. Most importantly,

attending Cardinal Mooney will place you in a wonderful

faith-filled and family environment!

To begin the application process, visit cardinalmooney.org

or contact our Admissions Director Mike McAndrews at

810.765.8825 ext. #11.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Christmas music has already been playing for a

couple of months and for the most part, it tends to be

the same songs we’ve all known growing up. One

song that has stood the test of time has been “The

Twelve Days of Christmas.” Whether it be on the

radio, in advertisements, or as parodies, the song has

been a familiar tune since 1780. However, according

to Smithsonian Magazine, it is believed to be much

older with a possible French history.

Even though the origins may be a mystery, one

thing always remains the same; twelve extravagant

gifts are given during the Christmas season.

Jumping ahead to the craziness of 2020, these

original gifts just don’t seem very practical or relatable

anymore. It goes without saying that 2020 has

definitely made its mark in history, so the sixth

graders helped me to develop a song that we found

to be a little more fitting with the many “gifts” we’ve

been given this year...Enjoy!

“On the twelfth day of Christmas, 2020 gave to me...

� Twelve online meetings

� Eleven pumps of soap

� Ten different movies

� Nine pizza boxes

� Eight packages delivered

� Seven pairs of sweatpants

� Six months stuck inside

� Five bags of chips

� Four hour naps

� Three daily prayers

� Two rubber gloves and

� One toilet paper roll on the shelf!”

May you all have a very Merry Christmas and health,

happiness, and blessings in this New Year!
