Fr. Joe’s Journal El Diario del Padre Joe Happy New Year! We welcome 2017 today with the celebration of the New Year. This is the 100th New Year we have celebrated in this church. and 110 years as a parish. We look back at the past year and we look ahead to a new year. We have celebrated the sacraments: mass, confessions, baptisms, weddings, confirmation, and the sacrament of the sick. We have shared the sadness of our parishioners at funerals and their joy at baptisms and weddings. This past year we have served those in need, physically through Ig-natian Services and spiritually through our ministry to those ill at home and at nursing homes. We of-fered Catholic education through our school, NCA, and through our Religious education program. The liturgy committee and finance committee have done great work and our parish council has begun to ad-dress some of the challenges of the parish. Our staff has continued their great service to the parish. We have also offered prayer groups, faith enrichment and continued service to our Hispanic community. Our deacons (Mora, Rossow and Soto) and their wives have enhanced our ministry to the parish. We give thanks for the return to health of Deacon Soto. We have welcomed Fr. Augustine from the semi-nary for our Sunday masses and thank all the semi-nary professors for their help. Fr. Flaherty (who served here before) and Fr. Gomez give us great as-sistance especially with the Spanish masses. Fr. Wolff assists with daily mass. Fr. Torres, from our sharing parish, has also assisted us. In particular we welcome our former pastor, Fr. Foley, back for weekend assistance. The year ahead presents many challenges. We share these challenges with every other parish. We need to reach out for new member and train more people to assist in all aspects of min-istry. We need all of our parishioners to support the parish to the best of their ability financially. As a di-verse parish we need to be aware of all the work that is done by the different groups in the parish. Finally I give thanks for all who help and support the parish with their time, talent and treasure. May our parish thrive for another 100 years. We welcome Bishop Manz for the Virgin de la Nube Celebration. We welcome all our Ecuadorian brothers and sisters for this great feast. Last weekend we celebrated Christmas. I thank all who helped make the day so beautiful. Early deadline: I write this article early . We welcome Fr. Carcar back for a stay. See this bulletin for other key articles and event announcements.

God bless you, your pastor, Fr. Joe

¡Feliz Año Nuevo! Recibimos el 2017 con la cele-bración del Año Nuevo. Este es la celebración 100 del Año nuevo en este iglesia. Hemos celebrado 110 años como parroquia. Miramos al año que pasó y al año que comienza. Hemos celebrado los sacramentos: misa, con-fesiones, bautismos, bodas, confirmaciones y la unción de los enfermos. Hemos compartido la tristeza de nuestros feligreses en los funerales y su alegría en los bautismo y bodas. Este año pasado hemos servido a los más necesita-dos, físicamente por medio de Servicios ignacianos y es-piritualmente por medio de nuestro ministerio con los en-fermos y geriátricos. Ofrecemos educación católica por medio de nuestra escuela, NCA, y nuestro programa de Educación Religiosa. El comité de liturgia y el comité de finanzas han hecho un trabajo excelente y el consejo pas-toral ha comenzado a tratar algunos de los desafíos de la parroquia. Nuestro personal ha continuado su gran servi-cio de la parroquia. Hemos ofrecido grupos de oración, enriquecimiento de la fe, y continua sirviendo a nuestra comunidad hispánica. Nuestros diáconos (Mora, Rossow, y Soto) y sus esposas enriquecen nuestro ministerio de la parroquia. Damos gracias que la salud del Diacono Soto ha mejorado. Hemos dado la bienvenida al Padre Augusti-ne del seminario por nuestras misas de los domingos. Agradezco a todos los sacerdotes que nos ayudan. Padre Flaherty (que sirvió antes aquí) y Padre Gomez nos ayu-dan especialmente con la misas en español. El Padre Wolff ayuda con la misa diaria. El Padre Torres de nues-tra parroquia compañera nos ha ayudado. Recibimos a nuestro párroco anterior, Padre Foley, por el fin de sema-na. La ayuda de estos sacerdotes nos ha permitido conti-nuar ofreciendo los sacramentos a pesar de tener menos sacerdotes. El año que comienza presenta varios desafíos. La mayoría de estos desafíos no son exclusivos de nuestra parroquia. Necesitamos invitar a más feligreses y entrenar más gente para ayudar en todos los aspectos del ministe-rio. Necesitamos que todos los feligreses apoyen a la pa-rroquia económicamente dentro de sus posibilidades eco-nómicas. Como una parroquia diversa necesitamos darnos cuenta de todo el trabajo que se hace con los distintos gru-pos en la parroquia. Finalmente doy gracias por todos los que ayudan y apoyan la parroquia con su tiempo, talento y tesoro. Que nuestra parroquia siga creciendo por otros 100 años. Damos la bienvenida al Obispo Manz para la celebración de la Virgen de la Nube. Da-mos la bienvenida a todos nuestros hermanas y hermanos ecuatorianos por esta gran fiesta. La semana pasada celebramos Navidad. Agradezco a todos los que ayudaron a celebrar esta her-mosa fiesta. Damos la bienvenida al Padre Carcar que estará aquí.

Dios los bendiga, su párroco Padre Joe

New Year Resolutions Happy New Year!

Are you thinking of making New Year resolu-tions? Why not consider giving of yourself? There are various ministries in the parish that would bene-fit with your help.

Ministers of Care take communion to area nursing homes and to our homebound parishioner. A few hours a week can make a world of difference in the life of someone confined to home. You could be that agent for change.

Ministers of Consolation work with grieving fami-lies providing assistance in planning the funeral of a loved one. Ministers keep in contact with the family after the funeral to offer prayers and support. You should have a flexible schedule for this ministry.

Food Panty Volunteers need to have patience and a good sense of humor. You can choose to either help clients shop or interview clients to determine their needs. We also need help unloading our food deliver-ies. This requires a strong back, the ability to lift 40 pounds is needed. We ask volunteers to commit to at least 6 months.

If any of these opportunities appeal to you, please contact Kathy Morris at is@stignatiuschurch.org for more information.

Remember we are all Ignatian Services.

Propósitos de Año Nuevo ¡Feliz Año Nuevo!

¿Está pensando en hacer propósitos para el Nuevo Año? ¿Por qué no considera dar de si mis-mo? Hay varios ministerios en la parroquia que se beneficiarían de su ayuda.

Ministros del Cuidado llevan la comunión a hoga-res de ancianos y feligreses en la casa. Algunas ho-ras en la semana pueden hacer una gran diferencia en la vida de alguien confinado a su casa. Puede ser el agente de cambio.

Ministro de la Consolación trabaja con familias que han perdido un ser querido ayudando a planear el funeral. Ministros siguen en contacto con la fami-lia luego del funeral para ofrecer oraciones y apoyo. Debe tener un horario flexible para este ministerio.

Voluntarios de la Despensa necesitan tener pacien-cia y sentido del humor. Puede elegir a ayudan a los clientes a comprar o en la entrevista para ver sus necesidades. Tambien necesitamos ayuda descargan-do la comida. Esto requiere una espalda fuerte, y la habilidad de levantar 40 libras. Pedimos a los volun-tarios de comprometerse por lo menos 6 meses.

Si alguna de estar oportunidades le interesa, por favor contacte Kathy Morris a is@stignatiuschurch.org para mayor información.

NCA Application Deadline Approaching NCA’s admissions season for the 2017-18 school year is off to a great start! We kicked off the season with Admissions Open Houses in October and early December, and we’re receiving applications daily. Applica-tions are available online at www.northsidecatholic.org. Our 2017-18 enrollment process will begin January 30 when we open registration for our current students and their siblings for two weeks. If you are a current NCA family and have a sibling who will be starting NCA next year (typically in preschool or kindergarten), please note that an application should be completed for that student by the end of December. We will start our acceptance process for new NCA families on February 13. NCA is committed to providing a quality, Cath-olic education to our parish families and the communities we serve. We offer financial aid through our Guardi-an Angel Scholarship Fund to ensure that money is never a reason why a family doesn’t come to NCA. If you have any questions about the admissions process, enrollment, or financial aid, or want to schedule a tour please contact Melissa Soberanes at msoberanes@ncaweb.org or 773-743-6277.
