Thank you for your altruistic volunteering of time and talent through our parish, our community agencies and service clubs and our schools. Thank you for your unwavering financial support of our parish, your spontaneous generosity to those in need and when we as a parish community have needed your help! Know you are in our prayers and may the extraordinary blessings of our encounter with the Light of the World; the Messiah; our Savior, our Help and Guide this season be with you and all those you love! - The Clergy and Staff of Holy Family Catholic Community HOLY FAMILY AND BEYOND Christmas Seating Holiday Mass Schedule One of the great joys of the Christmas Holy Day is getting families together from near and far. It’s wonderful when they can attend Mass together, as well. As we all know, the most crowded Masses are the earliest ones on Christmas Eve. Our ushers are put in the “no-winsituation” of trying to find seating for parishioners when individuals have staked out entire pews, “saving them for family members.” This is unfair for all those people who come early and have to stand anyway. Please note, at all of our Christmas Masses this year, it will again be strictly – FIRST COME, FIRST SEATED – meaning no one will be allowed to save seats. Please, instruct your family members accordingly or consider coming to Mass at 10:30 pm, Midnight or on Christmas morning itself when there’s room for everyone to be seated.

Holy Family Catholic Community 9 CHRISTIAN FORMATION Women’s Ministry – Sharing Our Journey Youth Service Opportunity Sharing Our Journey will begin again in January with a great guest speaker—Gina Loehr. She will be coming to Holy Family the evening of Thursday, January 15. There will be opportunities to sign up again for women’s small groups on a variety of faith- filled topics. Loaves and Fishes, Monday, December 22, Church of Peace: Two shifts are available. 1st shift is 4:00 to 5:30 pm and 2nd shift is 5:30 to 6:30 pm. To volunteer, call Joan at 922-4856. Light Weigh Coming Soon Light Weigh will be offered at Holy Family beginning in the New Year. This is a wonderful journey of our Catholic Faith to gain “Peace with Food.” This means no dieting, no special foods, no calorie counting, keeping track of points, grams and no special eating programs. Light Weigh was created by Susan Fowler who sought the answers to her overeating problems through her Catholic faith and prayer. She has successfully lead thousands of others using the same methods and tools to find “Peace with Food.” Her program was featured in Prevention Magazine as well as Fox News, EWTN and Relevant Radio. We will be holding an orientation meeting in January for all those who are interested. Holy Family will host this Catholic based program, but please note there is a cost to enroll. Watch for specific dates and times coming soon! Cor Jesu Enter into the heart of Christ. Be set ablaze, to experience God’s greatest gift to us: the Holy Eucharist! Join us for our monthly evening of adoration, confession and Mass at St. Mary Church on Tuesday, January 6. We begin at 6:45 pm with Rosary followed by an hour of adoration before the Blessed Sacrament and Mass at 8:00 pm. Catholic Breakfast Club This is our young adult group open to all 20 and 30 somethings. We meet each Monday at 5:45 pm in the Victory Center at the Sacred Heart Site to share a meal and talk about our faith! For details please see our Facebook page: Holy Family Young Adults FDL. “LIKE” our Facebook Pages! Holy Family Youth Ministry FdL Holy Family Young Adults FdL Low-gluten Hosts Available Holy Family now has low-gluten hosts (.001% or 37 micrograms) available for parishioners who have wheat related allergies or intolerances. There is no such thing as a “no-gluten” host since the Church requires that hosts used at Catholic Masses must contain some wheat. However the low-gluten hosts we are using have been approved by the Archbishop and recommended by the Catholic Celiac Society. Please stop in at the sacristy before Mass and ask the sacristan to allow you to put a low-gluten host in a special container which they will place on the altar. Please do so 15-20 minutes early since once Mass begins the sacristan no longer has access to these hosts. The low-gluten host you have placed in the container will be consecrated by the priest at the Mass you are attending. At Communion time, please join the line for the Priestcelebrant of the Mass. He will be holding the container of low-gluten hosts. When you approach him, request a lowgluten host. The priest will then open the container and allow you to take the host yourself (so there is no crosscontamination with wheat) and receive communion. Please, if you have not placed a low-gluten host in the container before Mass, do not request one. The only hosts in the container at communion time will be the ones placed in the container by the individuals who request them. 10 Holy Family Catholic Community Parish Mission in Lent—Save the Date! February 23-25 Holy Family is pleased to host Father James Kubicki for our Parish Mission – Living a Eucharistic Life. You don’t want to miss this international speaker and writer who will guide us through drawing close to Christ and the Eucharist. He is the National Director for the Apostleship of Prayer and a retreat and Parish mission master. Couples Retreat Make plans to take part in a couples retreat from the evening of Thursday, February 12 until noon of Sunday, February 15, 2015 at the newly expanded and remodeled Jesuit Retreat House on Lake Winnebago, south of Oshkosh. The facility’s changes provide even greater opportunity for shared conferences and reflection, both as individuals and a couple. The retreat will be led by Tim and Maryanne Rouse with spiritual counseling with the priest staff. The retreat will be modeled on the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius Loyola to bring spirituality into one’s daily life. Consider making an investment in examining and strengthening your spiritual and prayer life together. If interested, call Jim and Kathy Simon at 920-921-3832, the retreat house at 800-962-7330 or go to the website at www.jesuitretreathouse.org.

Pope Francis’ World Day of Peace Message The Vatican has announced the theme and title for the annual World Day of Peace message is: “Slaves No More, But Brothers and Sisters.” Pope Francis challenges all of us to recognize every other person as a brother or sister with God-given dignity. Such recognition, he says, will lead to peace. When we recognize the dignity of others, we will feel compelled to work for an end to all that exploits and enslaves them, such as human trafficking, trade in migrants and prostitutes, exploitation, slave labor and the enslavement of women and children. These things, Pope Francis says, are a fatal running sore on the flesh of Christ. (See the full message here: http://goo.gl/ir6t0W) You can be a Peacemaker! How you can help: 1. Pray for the liberation and restoration of victims and survivors of modern day slavery. Use the prayer below in your daily prayer, at the family dinner table or in a group setting. 2. Take part in the SHEPHERD program of the U.S. Catholic Bishops and work to protect, help, empower and restore the dignity of trafficking survivors. Visit www.usccb.org/shepherd to learn more. 3. Take action. Advocate for policies that address the causes of modern day slavery, protect survivors of human trafficking and seek justice for those that have been victimized. For action alerts, visit the USCCB Migration and Refugee Services website, www.usccb.org/about/ migration-policy/position-papers/index.cfm and www.confrontglobalpoverty.org. 4. Observe the National Day of Prayer for Victims and Survivors of Human Trafficking on February 8, the Feast Day of St. Josephine Bakhita, who spent 12 years trapped in slavery. Recite the prayer below in memory of St. Josephine and the victims of Human Trafficking. Prayer to End Trafficking Loving Father, we seek your divine protection for all who are exploited and enslaved; for those forced into labor, trafficked into sexual slavery and denied freedom. We beseech you to release them from their chains. Grant them protection, safety and empowerment. Restore their dignity and provide to them a new beginning. Show us how we might end exploitation by addressing its causes. Help us reach out in support of victims and survivors of human trafficking. Make us instruments of your spirit for their liberation. For this we pray through our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen. Holy Family Catholic Community 11 PASTORAL CARE Eucharist Ministers Needed!!! Christmas…A Time to Give Back! Members of Holy Family are actively involved in bringing the Eucharist to many of our brothers and sisters who are in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, senior housing developments and to those who are in their own homes, yet unable to get out. We actively serve almost 20 different facilities and countless private homes. It takes many volunteers to make this happen on a weekly basis. What a blessing to bring the presence of God to those who are ill or homebound. Holding God in your hands and extending the love of God to another is a ministry of love. As we celebrate Christmas, let us pause for a moment to reflect on the reason for this most sacred day. Yes, this is a time to spend with family and friends, celebrating timeless traditions, great food and exchanging gifts. This is most likely the only time all year when we celebrate a birthday and receive more gifts than the person whose birth we celebrate! But then, wasn’t that God’s gift to all of humankind in the first place? God sent us his only son for our salvation! We have an immediate need for more Eucharistic Ministers to Nursing Homes. If you are interested in sharing the love of God with others, please contact Ruthann in the parish office at 921-0580. This is the season when we pause to consider the events of the past year and to reflect on how we might make a positive impact in the New Year. “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them” (Mt 18:20.) Save the Date!!! Mark your calendars now for A Lenten Day of Retreat on Saturday, March 21, 2015. You will not want to miss this day filled with prayer, reflection, dynamic presentations and much more. Watch future bulletins for more details! Weekly Justice Challenge 4th Week of Advent Justice Challenge: In this Sunday’s Gospel, we hear the angel inviting Mary to become the mother of the Messiah. Mary worried about doing this without breaking her promises to God. The angel replies with the story of Elizabeth being with child even though she was beyond the age of child-bearing. The angel states, “…for nothing will be impossible for God.” Your challenge this week is to bring the Good News of Jesus and his message of possibilities to someone who has been weighed down by darkness or despair—due to illness, financial stress, relationship problems or whatever. As a family, choose one person—or one family—who needs you to remind them that with God, nothing is impossible. How can you help “liberate” this person or family from whatever is keeping them from living a free and full life? Copyright © Center for Ministry Development, 2014. FashioningFaith.org. All rights reserved. Holy Family Connection: In a season of great anticipation and joy as we prepare to celebrate the birth of Jesus, it seems that everyone would feel that same joy of which we speak. Unfortunately, there are so many people in our own parish, our neighborhoods, workplace and schools who know nothing but despair this Christmas. They may be grieving the death of a loved one or feeling lost or abandoned because of divorce. There may be those who cannot provide Christmas gifts or dinner for their family because of the loss of a job or lack of money. Take a moment this Christmas season to offer hope and love to 12 Holy Family Catholic Community We at Holy Family have been so very blessed in this past year through the dedication and selfless acts of generosity from people sharing their time and talents, people who are dedicated to living out the Gospel message. This is true discipleship, and it is alive at Holy Family Catholic Community! As we look to the coming year, we pray for good health, happiness and joy throughout the year. These are gifts from God. What then are the gifts that we can give back? How can we begin to offer ourselves in service to the Lord, to live out the message of the Gospel? Allow me to make some suggestions for what may be in your 2015 Bucket List.
