Stewardship of Treasure “For it is in giving that we receive”

A Faithful Note from Deacon Ron

Wow, another year come and gone! Seems like just a few weeks ago we were ringing in 2017 and now we are saying goodbye to it. Liturgically, it is the feast of the Holy Family! A great way to combine these two things is to take time to reflect back on the year and look at the events that took place in the lives of our own families and look forward to plans for the coming year. For Amy and me, even though we lost some friends and family members, it has been a pretty great year! Some of the highlights would be welcoming 3 new grandchildren into the world, celebrating my fifth anniversary of ordination and celebrating our 36th anniversary! And 2018 looks to be pretty full and exciting as well! In February, we will travel to California and I will baptize my twin grandchildren, Lily and Coen! And in July, we will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the restoration of the Permanent Diaconate in New

Orleans with thousands of other Deacons and their families from around the country! For our Parish family, 2017 saw the dedication and opening of our new facilities, we said goodbye to some dear friends, welcomed many new ones, celebrated Fr Fred’s 75th birthday and continued to share the love of Christ with each other! And 2018 will be a full year for our Parish as well. We will celebrate many events this coming year, but to my mind, none will be more important than the 50th anniversary of our beloved Pastor, Mentor and friend, Fr Fred Nijem! Amy and I wish you all a most happy and Holy 2018! God Bless, Deacon Ron

Forward in Faith Prayer Heavenly Father, we thank you for all your blessings and for what you enable us to accomplish at Sacred Heart. By your

grace, may we move forward in faith, trusting that you will supply our every need in Christ Jesus, who lives and reigns

with you and the Holy Spirit. We pray through the intercession of Mary, our Mother. Amen.

BEARERS OF THE WORD The Church has placed a number of notable feast days immediately after Christmas. The feasts of Stephen, John the Evangelist, and the Holy Innocents form a summary of the life lived in Christ, the Word made flesh. What do these have to do with the feast of the Holy Family, which crowns the Octave of Christmas? These feasts remind us that suffering will occur in fulfilling the mission of Christ, and that we are all called to be bearers of this Word whose birth we celebrate. We also see this manifested in the lives of Joseph and Mary, both of whom took social and religious risks in obedience to the will of God, and both of whom were open to the word of God sent to them from on high. In these ways they prefigured the life of Jesus himself. Most likely, few of us found ourselves at Mass this past Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday, but the essence of these feasts and the essence of the holiness of Joseph, Mary, and Jesus remain central, a holiness we celebrate today.

My name is Kathi Benedetti. I’ve been married for 47 years, and have two grown sons, Billy and Philip. I am Nana to Devon who is 9 years old and is my heart. I have two step-grandchildren, Bailey and Blake. I’ve been a member of Sacred Heart since 1981. I am currently president of the Golden Hearts. I’ve been involved with several other ministries, such as CCW, Life Teen, Adoration, Eucharistic Minister, Feast for Priests, Family Promise, and visiting the homebound of our parish. I’m sure somewhere along the line our paths have crossed. I’m looking forward to this new and exciting chapter in my life, and I am praying that God will use me as an instrument and help me make a difference.

Parish News, Notes, and Not to Miss

CHILI COOK-OFF JANUARY 13, 2018 The Ladies Auxiliary of the Knights of Columbus is hosting a chili cook off and Dutch auction. All monies collected during this event will go to the SHS Scholarship fund. If you are submitting a chili for the competition please have it at the Social Hall by 4:00 for judging. There is a $25 prize for the winner in each of the three categories. The social event with meal and Dutch auction begins at 6:30. Applications to submit a chili are available at the Church and School offices and at the kiosk in the narthex. Meal tickets are also available in these locations. Meal

includes a bowl of chili, a hot dog, dessert and beverage. Cost is Adults $7.00 and children under 10 $3.00. The adult price includes 10 tickets for the Dutch auction.

Our version of the Dutch auction is as follows: the items being auctioned are on display with a “red solo cup” placed in front of each item. You “bid” by placing a ticket in the cup. The more tickets you put in the cup, the better chance you have to win. At the conclusion of the evening, one ticket is pulled from each cup. Holder of that ticket goes home with the item. We have a large variety of items for auction, including children’s items. Extra Dutch auction tickets will be on sale for $1.00 for 5 tickets.

Hope to see you there for what we hope will become an annual event!

MENSAJE DEL DIACON RON

Otro año que llega y se va. Parece que fuera que hace unas semanas cuando estábamos celebrando la llegada del 2017. Y ahora ya lo estamos despidiendo.

Litúrgicamente, es la fiesta de la Sagrada Familia! Una gran forma de combinar estas dos cosas es tomarse el tiempo de reflexionar acerca del año y ver los eventos que tomaron lugar en las vidas de nuestras familias, ahora tenemos que empezar a planear para este Nuevo año. Para Amy y para mi, perdimos unos amigos y familiares, pero el año fue bueno. Uno de los acontecimientos es la bienvenida de tres nietos mas, celebré mi quinto año de ordenación y celebramos nuestro 36 años de matrimonio! Y el 2018 se ve mucho mas lleno y feliz. En Febrero iremos a California y yo bautizare a mis nietas gemelas, Lily y Coen! Y en Julio celebraremos los 50 años de la restauración de el Diaconado Permanente en Nueva Orleans con miles de otros Diáconos de todo el país y sus familias!

En nuestra parroquia en el 2017 vimos la dedicación y apertura de nuestras nuevas instalaciones, dijimos adiós a muchos amigos queridos, y le dimos la bienvenida a nuevos, celebramos los 75 años del Padre Fred, y continuamos compartiendo el amor de Dios entre nosotros! Y el 2018 será un año lleno de muchas celebraciones, hay muchos eventos este año, pero el principal es que celebraremos los 50 años de aniversario de nuestro querido Pastor, Mentor y Amigo el Padre Fred Nijem!

Amy y yo les deseamos in feliz y bendecido 2018.

Dios los bendiga

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE

¡Año nuevo, vida nueva! El día primero

de enero, mientras muchos celebran las cábalas y cabañuelas de un año nuevo, los

cristianos conmemoramos a quien dio a luz al autor de la vida. María, bajo el título de Madre de Dios, es como nosotros deseamos celebrar

la esperanza de un ¡año nuevo, vida nueva! El Concilio de Éfeso en el año 431

declaró a María como la Theotokos; la que “carga a Dios”. Este dogma tiene que ver más con el Hijo que con la madre y fue proclamado

para afirmar que Jesucristo “desde toda la eternidad fue Dios”. Continúa la doctrina y

afirma “Así como toda madre humana, no es solamente madre del cuerpo humano sino de la

persona, así María dio a luz a una persona, Jesucristo, quien es Dios y hombre, entonces

Ella es la Madre de Dios”. ¡Ésta sí que es vida nueva! Dios nace como ser humano y el ser humano carga a

Dios. Gracias a Dios, todo ser humano puede ser como María Theotokos y cargar a Dios en

su corazón. ¡Feliz Año Nuevo!
