We welcome you to make your weekly/monthly donations by enrolling in Parish Pay by visiting www.parishpay.com or calling (866) 727-4741 to set up an account. The Parish Office will be closed December 31, 2015 at 12:00 pm and all day January 1, 2016 December 27, 2015 Feast of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph Imagine: three New Year’s celebrations in little over a month! In late November, Advent began the new liturgical year; December 8, the Jubilee Y ear of Mercy; this coming Friday, the New Year 2016. In today’s Gospel, after three days of anguish, Mary tells Jesus how desperately she and Joseph have been searching for him. Mary could be speaking for the whole human race. With religious persecutions raging, international and domestic conflicts seething, our family and friends suffering various difficulties, not to mention our own personal problems, how much our world needs Jesus as another New Year veiled in mystery begins! As we pray for God’s mercy to enfold our world and embrace each of us in 2016, let our New Year’s resolution be to live the Jubilee Year of Mercy by being for others, as Mary was, a channel of God’s mercy and an instrument of Christ’s peace. —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J.

ENGLISH BIBLE STUDY You are invited to join us in Religious Education in the school building every Tuesday evening at 8:00PM for Bible Study. We furnish all materials necessary. 27 de diciembre de 2015 Fiesta de la Sagrada Familia Imagina: ¡tres celebraciones de Año Nuevo en el transcurso de menos de un mes!, al final de noviembre, con el Adviento empezó el Nuevo Año Litúrgico; luego el 8 de diciembre, el A ño Jubilar de la Misericordia y este viernes que viene, el Año Nuevo 2016. En el Evangelio de hoy, después de tres días de angustia, María le dice a Jesús lo preocupada que ella y José habían estado buscándolo. María podría estar hablando por toda la humanidad. Con violentas persecuciones religiosas, conflictos nacionales e internacionales en plena ebullición, nuestra familia y amigos sufriendo de varias dificultades, sin mencionar nuestros propios problemas personales, ¡qué tanto nuestro mundo necesita a Jesús como otro Nuevo Año empieza cubierto de misterio! Al orar por que la misericordia de Dios se muestre a nuestro mundo y envuelva a cada uno de nosotros este 2016, que las resoluciones este Año Nuevo vivan el Año Jubilar de la Misericordia para los demás, como María fue, un instrumento de la misericordia de Dios y de la paz de Cristo. —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. HABLA BIEN Habla bien de la gente y nunca tendrás que susurrar. —Anónimo PAGE 4 THE HOLY FAMILY OF JESUS, MARY AND JOSEPH Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship Applying Catholic Teaching to Major Issues In California right now, a 13yr old girl can’t get an aspirin or flu shot from the school nurse without her parents permission. But that same girl can be taken to a clinic for an abortion by a stranger, and neither of her parents has a right even to know. That’s why we are working to put parental notification on the November 2016 ballot. Parental notification would require a doctor to notify one parent 48 hours before performing an abortion on an under 18 year old girl. There are parental notification or parental consent laws in 39 other states. In the best documented of those states with notification, there has been a drop in teen abortions of over 75%. There are 20,000 teen abortions in California every year; this means we can save the lives of 15,000 unborn babies and protect that many young girls from exploitation by the abortion industry and from adult sexual predators who use secret abortions to cover up their abuse. If you are registered to vote in California, please, please sign the petitions in front of the church. You need to print your name, sign your name, and write the address where you are registered to vote. If you are from the county outside of the one of this church, ask the circulators for a separate petition sheet. All the counties have to be on separate sheets. More important that signing the petitions is we ask each one of you take at least one petition packet and ask your family, friends, neighbors, to sign. A packet has 2 petitions with 5 signature blanks on each one, plus a flyer and instruction sheet. If 100 people in the parish got 10 signatures each and 50 people got 20 signatures, this parish instead of 200 or 300 signatures could get 2000 signatures.

From this moment onward, your spiritually adopted baby grows and refines his/her body. But everything he/she needs to survive once they are born is already present by the end of the eighth week.

Where else but in this column could you learn that this is in fact a pope? December 31 was in the old calendar the feast of St. Sylvester. Legend says that Sylvester healed the Emperor Constantine of leprosy, and presided at the liturgy of baptism for the grateful emperor. In 314, he was chosen pope, and it fell to him to organize the peacetime church, free at last from persecution. He founded the Lateran Basilica, the cathedral of the Diocese of Rome. In northern Europe “Sylvester Night” is a time of great parties with eating, dancing, and singing— recalling perhaps the joy of the church in the fresh air of Sylvester’s papacy. In Poland, there was great fear as the year 1000 approached that an immense dragon would devour the earth and set fire to the heavens. The people prayed earnestly to St. Sylvester, trusting that the saint would not permit such suffering on his feast day. They’ve been celebrating ever since! Many New Year’s customs have pagan roots, like the British “First Footer” tradition. The idea is that the first person setting foot into your house in the new year determines the luck for the year ahead. The ideal first footer was not a bit like old Pope Sylvester, but rather a tall, dark-haired man carrying the right gift. A handsome first footer meant the year ahead would be pleasant, and if he carried bread or a shovel of coal there would be food and warmth in the future. Who will be your household’s first footer? TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE El primer domingo después de la Navidad celebramos la fiesta de la Sagrada Familia. Los latinos somos un pueblo muy unido en familia. Para nosotros es más que un pequeño grupo compuesto de padre, madre, hijos e hijas. La familia para nosotros los latinos es un conjunto grande de abuelos, abuelas, tíos, tías, primos, primas, compadres, comadres, suegros, suegras y otros más además del padre, la madre y los hijos. Para los latinos una fiesta que celebra la familia de Jesús es la cosa más natural del mundo. Extrañamente esta fiesta no es muy antigua. En realidad es una celebración que data de comienzos de la época moderna en el siglo XVII. Antes de estas fechas la familia de Jesús casi siempre era entendida como compuesta por Jesús, María y Ana (la madre de María). Se daba por hecho que José estaba por allí. Pero en el siglo XVII muchos perdieron sus padres pues tenían que ir a las fábricas a trabajar. Por eso el magisterio instituyó la conmemoración de la Sagrada Familia de Jesús, María y José para recordar a los padres cristianos su deber ante sus hijos y su esposa. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. THE NAME FOR GOD Mother is the name for God on the lips and in the —William Makepeace Thackeray hearts of little children. EL NOMBRE DE DIOS Madre es el nombre de Dios en los labios y corazones de los niños pequeños. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. January 1, 2016 Solemnity Of Mary the Holy Mother of God Holy Day of Obligation Mass will be at 10am. Holy days are important feast days in the life of the Catholic community on which, in addition to Sundays, Catholics (who are above the age of reason and who are not sick) are obligated to participate in Mass according to precepts of the Church.

PAGE 8 THE HOLY FAMILY OF JESUS, MARY AND JOSEPH DID YOU KNOW? Take a time out to communicate Sometimes, kids need a place to go where they can say what they want, and they won’t be immediately punished or have to deal with a negative reaction. It’s important to make sure your child has such a space or time – after dinner conversations, an ice cream spot, riding home from school – where they can tell you what’s on their mind, good or bad, and you can just listen and discuss, without taking the instant parental approach. If your children feel safe talking to you openly, you are better equipped to notice and handle any red flags in their lives.

McNulty Hall 13915 Shoemaker Avenue Norwalk, CA ¿SABIA USTED? Tome un tiempo para comunicarse Algunas veces los niños necesitan un lugar donde puedan ir y decir lo que quieran, y donde no serán castigados inmediatamente o donde tengan que lidiar con una reacción negativa. Es importante asegurar que su hijo o hija tenga tal espacio o tiempo, que puede ser después de las conversaciones de la cena, un lugar donde vaya a comer helado, o el trayecto de la escuela a la casa, donde él o ella puedan decirle lo que piensan, bueno o malo, y que usted sólo pueda escucharlos y discutir, sin tomar ninguna decisión inmediata. Si sus hijos se sienten seguros al platicar con usted abiertamente, usted estará mejor equipado/a para notar y manejar cualquier dificultad en sus vidas.
