This year
With inner joy and deep comfort, the Church looks to
families who remain faithful to the teachings of the Gospel,
encouraging them and thanking them forthe testimony they
offer. in fact, they witness, in a credible way, to the beauty
of an indissoluble marriage, while always remaining faithful
to each other. Within the family, "which could be called a
domestic church"(lumen Gentium,ll), a person begins a
Church experience of communion among persons, which
reflects, through grace, the Mystery of the Holy Trinity. "ln a
family, a person learns endurance, the joy of work, fraternal
love, and generosity in forgiving others- repeatedly at times
- and above all divine worship in prayer and the offering of
one's life" (Cotechism of the Catholic Church, 1657l.The Holy
lrmil.,
NOVENA TO ST. PIO - The SFOs are leading a weekly novena
in Church to St. Pio every Thursday after the 7.(X)pm mass.

--L^^l
Mission. is to do good whenever and wherever you can. This is a very important lesson,disciples, to learn because when we
consider issues like world hunger and poverty, many of us are overcome with a sense of helplessness and despair. And we just
shut down and become self-focused. And that's right. We can't help EVERYONE. 8ut we can help someone. I would venture to
say that everyone here knows someone who needs your presence. Everyone here knows someone who is lonely and needs a
visit. Everyone here knows someone who is sick and would appreciate a word of cheer.
5o......DON'T overlook littte opportunities to show love. After all, little things can be big things in God's Kingdom. I echo the
words of 5t. Paul 'Throw yourcelves into the work of the Master, confident that nothint you do for Him is a waste of time and
effort." (1 Cor 15:58)
...^
"understand why we have to maintain spiritual discipline, if
we wish to follow the teachings of the Gospel and become
Christ's disciples" (Blessed Pope Paul Vl, Address ot
Nozoreth,5 January 195a).The Gospel of the Family also
nourishes the seeds which are still waiting to grow; and
serves as the basis for caringfor those trees which might
have withered and need treatment (para 23)
(Taken from "Relatio Synodi" ofthe 111 Extraordinary
GeneralAssembly of the Synod of Bishops: 'Pastoral
challenges to the Family in the context of Evangelisation)

The month of December is a month of mission. As Christians we must remember that we have a mission given to us by our
Cdmmander-in-Chief. tn John 20:21 Jesus said, "As the father has sent me, I am sending you."
So, in essence our mission as Jesus' disciples is to continue what He started. Rick Warren puts it, "Jesus calls us not only to
corne to Him but to go for Him."
Be part of the Parish Mission, bring your family for this mission. Those of you who would like to join us this December in visiting
the sick children; you may register at the right wing of the church. We have placed "LOVE BOXES" in front of the sanctuary with
the different age groups and you can place your gift of love in these boxes.
I close with the words from St, John Paul I "ln your service always look at the example of the Good Shepherd, Christ the Lord.
Where your efforts seem useless, listen to the Master, who also says to you, "Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a
catch". Make Peter/s reply your own, "Master, we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets."
(Lk 5:
+5).

authority of parents, teachers, educators, and
superiors is given to them by Cod, not so that
they can lord it over those who are entrusted to
