In Sympathy
St. Mary’s Parish extends deepest sympathy to the family and friends of: Bernice Cronin, 94, sister of Juanita Lauer, who passed away Saturday, Decem-
ber 4. David Sabers, 60, son of Don & Shirley, brother to Shawn (Jim) Geisler, and Mike (Celeste), who passed away Tuesday, December 7. Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen.
Sun., Dec. 19 thru Sun., Dec. 26 Consecration to the Holy Family
The decision to consecrate your family needs to be intentional and a process through which you completely surrender to God through the Holy Family. You are accepting the truth that salva-tion history was changed forever by a family, and that through your domestic church, you are called to live their example. Four suggested steps before praying the Consecration to the Holy Family prayer on Dec. 26th:
1. Discuss the Importance this consecration as a family and
why you are doing it.
2. Each member of your family is strongly encouraged to go to
the sacrament of reconciliation. Communal Penance will be available on Dec. 19 at 7pm in St. Mary’s Church.
3. As a family, intentionally choose something to fast from.
The fast should be for at least a week. Fasting helps to discipline our minds and hearts to refrain from secular activities and be more focused on God.
4. Prepare for the commitment you are making. Consecration
to the Holy Family is not a single event. You have chosen a way of life for your family. You and your family are consciously choosing to be a beacon of light of God’s love through his Church.
