JEDINSTVO OBITELJI

Blagdan svete Obitelji smješten je u božićne dane, kada sebi dozivamo u svijest glavnu istinu naše vjere; da je Bog postao čovjekom, rodio se od majke, odgajao se i stasao u obitelji. Blagdan svete Obitelji želi nas podsjetiti na put koji je prošao Sin Božji postavši čovjekom, te prenijeti poruku o obitelji kao nezaobilaznoj ljudskoj činjenici. Svjedoci smo današnjega vremena i velike krize obitelji. Danas sve više mladih živi u izvanbračnoj zajednici, boje se vezati za jednu osobu. Nañalost i rapanje djece sve se više prenosi na epruvete.
činjenica je da je čovjek postao iz obitelji i da živi u obitelji. Kada bi ljudska znanost uistinu znala neki bolji put, onda bi ga i Bog izabrao za očovječenje. A Bog je odabrao put preko obitelji. Rođen u obitelji, odgajan u obitelji. Zato molimo Svetu Obitelj neka izmoli Duha našim obiteljima, onoga istog Duha koji je djelovao u Svetoj Obitelji. Isus je po Duhu Svetom začet i rođen, po Duhu Svetome i odgojen. Neka taj isti Duh vodi vaše obitelji da rastu u krepostima koje mogu učiniti sav svijet, a posebno našu župu boljom, ljepšom i blagoslovljenijom.

SRETNA NOVA GODINA
Dragi župljani, još je jedna godina iza nas. Svaki prolazak i izlazak nosi sa sobom pitanje analize. Jesmo li u godini koja je iza nas iskoristili sve potencijale za dobro? Jesmo li dovoljno išli u crkvu, molili se Bogu, bili na raspolaganju bratu u nevolji? Još jedamput se prisjetimo godine iza nas, za sve dobro koje smo učinili zahvalimo Bogu, a propuste i pogreške nastojmo ispraviti u novoj Godini. Želimo da vam Nova Godina bude ispunjena mirom i blagoslovom od Boga koji jedini daje život, nadu i mir. Neka vam bude sretno!
Hvala vam za sve što ste učinili za vašu župu u protekloj godini. Hvala za vaše darove (milostinju), za vaše darove za obnovu i uređenje naše crkve , za vašu ljubav i pripadnost ovoj hrvatskoj župi. Hvala vam i za vaše osobne darove kojima ste iskazali ljubav i zahvalnost vašim svećenicima. Svima iskreno hvala!

PARKIRANJE AUTOMOBILA NEDJELJOM
Italian - American Club stavio je na raspolaganje svoje parkiralište za potrebe naše župne zajednice prigodom svetih misa nedjeljom i svetkovinama. Parkiralište se nalazi na 30 ulici i Shields (ONIAC). Iskreno zahvaljujemo ovome club-u na suradnji i pomoći.

CVIJEĆE ZA BOŽIĆ- Zahvaljujemo se svim našim župljanima i prijateljima koji su darovali cvijeće za uređenje crkve za Božić.

50. OBLJETNICA BRAKA - "Ujedinjeni stojimo, razjedinjeni padamo", ova misao je potvrđena više puta. Bog je zamislio čovjeka tako da bude uključen u zajednicu, a ne kao neku jedinku koja će živjeti samo za sebe. Prije 50 godina Isusove riječi: "Ljubite jedni druge kao što sam ja vas ljubio", sjedinile su Antu i Mariju Galović. Kroz 50. godina hrabro su koračali ovom zemljom, i kada je bili teško i lako, ljubav prema obitelji i svome narodu održala ih je jake. Stoga, i mi danas dijelimo s njima ovu veliku radost proslave 50. obljetnice zajedničkog života. Dok im od srca zahvaljujemo za ljubav koju su iskazivali prema našoj župi, molimo dobrog Gospodina da ih On nagradi za njihov nesebičan rad i požrtvovnost. Iskreno im čestitamo!

GODIŠNJE OMOTNICE - Molimo vas da poslije mise podignete svoje godišnje omotnice koje se nalaze na dnu crkve. Ako netko od vas ne dobije svoju omotnicu ili pronađe pogrešnu adresu, unaprijed se ispričavamo i molimo da nas o tome obavijestite. Zahvaljujemo vam na ovogodišnjoj darežljivosti koju ste iskazali prema svojoj župi.

HRVATSKI KALENDAR 2002 - ZNAMENITI AMERIČKI I KANADSKI HRVATI - pisan je za engesko - i za hrvatsko- govoreće čitatelje. Uz podatke o župama gdje djeluju hrvatski svećenici, imate adrese i telefone važnijih predstavništava Republike Hrvatske, te Hrvatskih udruga i društava u Americi i Kanadi. Kalendar obiluje informacijama o obljetnicama u pojedinim župama, statističkim podacima o broju rođenih, umrlih, trenutnom broju članova pojedine župe. Kalendar donosi životopise 10 -ero Hrvata koji su svojim radom postali poznati i cijenjeni u današnjem društvu. Kalendar po cijeni $15 možete dobiti kod gospodina Josipa Novaka u maloj dvorani.

BLAGOSLOV VAŠIH domova počinje ovih dana. Zvat ćemo vas prije dolaska u vaš dom.. Molimo sve župljane koji su bili vodiči fratrima da nam se jave. Isto tako, ako prošlih godina svećenik nije dolazio blagosloviti vam kuću, a vi biste željeli da to učini, molimo vas da nas nazovete kako bi se dogovorili za blagoslov. Slijedeći tradiciju, prije dolaska svećenika pripremite krić, svijeću i blagoslovljenju vodu. Bilo bi dobro da svi članovi obitelji budu u kući. Vjerujemo kako ćemo kroz naredno vrijeme posjetiti sve naše župljane!

SVETA MISA ZAHVALNICA - bit će na staru godinu u 6 sati poslije podne. Dođimo i zajednički se zahvalimo dragom Bogu za ljubav i dobrotu koju nam je pružao i molimo ga da nas i dalje prati svojim blagoslovom.
RADOVI U CRKVI - 7. siječnja započimamo s uređenjem oltarskog prostora. Na pod stavit ćemo vrlo kvalitetni mramor. Radove će izvoditi naš župljanin Karlo Šimatić.

THE HOLY FAMILY
The Feast of the Holy Family is celebrated in the midst of the Christmas season when we recall a major tenet of our faith - that God became man, was born of a woman, and was nurtured and raised in a family. This feast reminds us of the earthly journey of the Son of God made man, and conveys the message of the sacred significance of the family as an un deniable fact of humanity. We are witnesses to the problems of family life in modern society. In today's world more and more young people enter into illicit relationships, afraid or unwilling to commit to one another in marriage. Tragically, and with greater frequency, the procreation of children takes place under abnormal circumstances and through abnormal means.
The fact is that mankind had its origins in the family and is meant to live within the family unit. If human science knew of a better way, then God would have chosen it as the means of humanization. Yet God chose the setting of the family, and was Himself born into and raised within a family. Therefore, we pray to the Holy Family to intercede for us through the Spirit of our families, the same Spirit that prevailed in the Holy Family. Jesus was, by the power of that same Spirit, begotten, born, and nurtured in the Holy Spirit. May that same Spirit guide your family to grow in the virtues that can influence the entire world, especially our parish, for a better, a holier, and a more blessed family life.

MASS OF THANKSGIVING ON NEW YEAR'S EVE
Come to a special 6P.M. mass and give thanks to the Lord for the graces we have all received in the year 2001. Later that evening a special Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament will take place in our church from 11P.M. until 12:30 A.M. Everyone is welcome to join our prayer group for this vigil. Please come and bring your friends. Let's begin the New Year with Christ.

CROATIAN ALMANAC 2002 presents stories of prominent personalities in the fields of science, business, religion, art, and politics ... Based on extensive research by the Ethnic Institute in Chicago, a selection was made from among the two and a half million American and Canadian Croats, and from the many compatriots who have departed from this life. The result is that we have a number of extremely distinguished men and women to add to this series entitled "Outstanding American and Canadian Croats". This book can be purchased in our rectory for $15.00.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Dear Parishioners,
One more year is behind us. Every passing and departure carries with it questions for reflection. Did we take advantage during this past year of every opportunity for goodness? Did we go to church enough, pray to God, help others in their times of need? Once again we recall the past year. For all the good we have done, we thank God. For all our faults and sins, we ask forgiveness and the will to rectify them in the new year. We hope that your New Year will be filled with the peace and blessings of God, who is the only giver of life, hope, and peace. May you have every happiness.

THANK YOU for your Christmas gifts to our church and to us priests as well. Thank you for the many cards, greetings, best wishes and your kindness. May God bless you for every kind deed and word, everything you have done for your church in this year. May God bless your families, your friends and all those you love and hold dear to your heart.

CHRISTMAS FLOWERS
We thank all of our parishioners and friends who donated flowers to decorate our church so beautifully for the Christmas season. God bless you for your thoughtfulness and generosity.

REMINDER We sing, we pray, we reflect, and we get in touch with Christ through adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. Please join us every Thursday from 7-9 P.M. He awaits you!
WORK TO BE DONE IN CHURCH
On the 7th of January we will begin the renovation of our sanctuary. The floor will be done in marble by our parishioner Mr. Karlo Simatic.
BLESSING OF HOMES Our priests will be available to bless homes after Christmas. If you would like one of the priests to come to your home, please call the rectory to schedule a date and time for this beautiful Catholic tradition.
