Resolution for New Year Jesus was born into a harsh world, where Herod was doing the unthinkable: killing babies. Is there any doubt that our world today needs Jesus to come and dwell among us? As a new year begins, let us resolve to be a more effective and dedicated instrument of Jesus. Let us do more to promote love and peace. Let us do more to help moms turn the unplanned into a loving plan that embraces innocent life. Let us do more to change our culture of death.

Decisión para el Año Nuevo
Jesús nació en un mundo severo adonde Herodes estaba haciendo lo inconcebible:
matando bebés.
¿Habrá alguna duda de que nuestro mundo hoy en día necesita que Jesús venga y
habite entre nosotros?
En cuanto empiece el nuevo año, vayamos a resolver a ser más efectivos y
dedicados a ser instrumentos de Jesús. Vayamos a hacer más para promover el
amor y la paz. Vayamos a hacer más para ayudar a las madrecitas a convertir lo no
planeado a un plan cariñoso que abraza la vida inocente.
Vayamos a hacer más para cambiar nuestra cultura de muerte.

Stewardship
“And be thankful.” St. Paul’s reminder to be thankful is a great way to end the year. The good steward is always thankful. When we fill our hearts with gratitude, we can stop striving for more possessions and start sharing the gifts we have already been given.

An Open Letter from a Parishioner
We are expecting to get another stimulus check - perhaps $600 per taxpayer. Since we are not hassled at our parish to tithe 10% as many other churches are, please consider giving 10% of your stimulus check to our Offertory. If you are retired as I am, think about giving more. You know we could use the help! Thanks and God bless you.
Anyone who might want to discern for a school board position should contact Mrs. Lumley at [email protected] or Father Merrill.
