PRAYER TO OUR LADY OF PERPETUAL HELP O MOTHER OF PERPETUAL HELP, grant that I may ever invoke your most powerful name, which is the safeguard of the living and the salvation of the dying. O Purest MARY, O Sweetest MARY! Let your name henceforth be ever on my lips. Delay not, O Blessed Lady, to succor me whenever I call on you, for, in all my temptations, in all my needs, I shall never cease to call on you, ever repeating your sacred name, Mary, Mary! Oh, what consolation, what sweetness, what confidence, what emotion, fills my soul when I utter your sacred name, or even only think of you! I thank the Lord for having given you, for my good, so sweet, so powerful, so lovely a name. But I will not be con-tent with merely uttering your name. Let my love for you prompt me ever to hail you, Mother of Perpetual Help!

OLPH School Connection

As we approach the beginning of a new year, I would like to give thanks for all that the OLPH community has given to our great school. Many of you

may have noticed our window installation on the north side of the building is nearly completed. Thank you to all the generous donors who helped make this effort possible. We are now looking to secure funding for phase two of the project which would complete the window installation on the east and west sides of the school. Anything you can give will be of great help.

The Holy Family of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph

December 28, 2014 My eyes have seen your salvation,

which you have prepared in the sight of all the peoples.

My dear Parishioners, Our Simbang Gabi and Christ-mas liturgy was a grace-filled cel-ebration. This happened because of your active participation. In behalf of Fr. Nick, Deacon Bill, and the parish staff, I thank you all from the recesses of my

heart: to Bishop Bill Justice, Brother Priests, par-ish ministries, parish organizations, Hispanic Min-istries, choirs, zone leaders and members, benefac-tors, volunteers, friends and visitors. My prayer for you is that God may continue to bless you with His peace, healing, abundance and good health this coming New Year.

Thank You Muchas Gracias Salamat

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Living God’s Word Spend a few quiet moments in prayer, thanking God for calling us to be part of God’s holy family, for giving us at baptism and at confirmation the gift of the oly Spirit. This Spirit has been poured into our hearts and dwells within us, binding us together. ©World Library Publications

Today is the feast of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph. We hear the words: The child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom, and the favor of God was upon Him.” As we remem-ber the poor during this New Year may we also grow in wisdom and have the favor of God

upon us. Through your kind generosity, the Socie-ty of St. Vincent de Paul was able to dis-tribute Christmas gifts to the residents of Villa Convales-cent. We especially thank the students of our OLPH School for their toy dona-tions. Thank you for your continued sup-

port to bring comfort and peace to our brothers and sisters who are suffering.
