“…He (Simeon) took him in his arms and blessed
God in these words: ‘Now, Master, you can dismiss
your servant in peace; you have fulfilled your word.
For my eyes have witnessed your saving deed
displayed for all the people to see; a revealing
light to the Gentiles, the glory of your people
Israel.’… ‘The Lord sets a father in honor over his
children;; a mother’s authority he confirms over
her sons.’”
At the direction of Pope Francis a synod on the family has
taken place in Rome. Reflections and reactions have been sought, as
the church considers the gift, the needs and the hopes of families in
an age when family life has radically changed.
Today we meet the Holy Family of Nazareth. Not unlike
ourselves many difficulties and trials came their way. Living as
refugees, itinerants, as working laborers, and finally facing trial and
condemnation, we can identify with them with the challenges of
today.
The prayer of Simeon, part of the night prayer of the
church, can be ours as well, as we recognize the presence of the
Christ among us during these holidays. It was the Spirit that moved
Simeon to take Him in his arms and praise God. May we, as we bring
this year to a close, express, as he did, our gratitude for the Lord’s
presence in so many ways during this year. May we thank God for
support in time of need. May we see the light of Christ in our lives
and be that light for members of our family. May we take Him in our
arms too.
May our fathers mirror the goodness of Joseph caring for
and protecting their children. May our mothers bring the warmth,
kindness and understanding of Mary, the heart of the home at
Nazareth. May the Christ, born anew in our hearts allow us to live
blessed by the presence of God’s grace in our lives. May all the
virtues mentioned by Paul in Colossians 3, be manifest in our homes.
For anyone wishing to place an ad in our bulletin, a
written ad must be submitted to the bulletin editor in

KATHRYN McGARRY NEEDS YOUR HELP!
Kathryn McGarry, a young woman and fellow parishioner, is
in need of blood. Kathryn has a rare blood disorder called
KTS Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome. She has suffered with this
congenital disease all her life, and now at the age of 26,
Kathryn is in Boston Children’s hospital fighting for her life.
The type of blood Kathryn needs is so specialized that it is
difficult to acquire.
A Red Cross Blood Drive has been set up in
Kathryn’s name for Saturday, December 27 from 9am to
2pm at the former Hyde Park Elementary School, 4327
Albany Post Road, Rt. 9, Hyde Park, NY. Walk-In or call
Patty Hohmann 845.849.5066 for an appointment. Please
consider giving the gift of life so that Kathryn and many
others have a chance to keep living. Thank You.
PLEASE INFORM THE PRIEST:
Because of
privacy laws, we cannot inquire about who is in the
hospital. Our local hospitals do provide clergy lists
which are helpful to an extent. The parish affiliation
item, which patients should be asked when admitted,
does not always get asked, especially with emergency
cases. One of our priests is scheduled to visit these
hospitals every week. If families can notify us of a
hospitalization we will make every effort to visit.
Parishioners who will be hospitalized at NDH in
Rhinebeck, please call us immediately. Parishioners who
face major surgery or any other type of hospital stay for
serious medical reasons should receive the Anointing of
the Sick from one of our parish priests before you enter
the hospital. Call the rectory as soon as you can and we
will arrange for the Anointing to take place.
During the winter months, safety is especially
important for all of us. When the weather
turns bad, please listen to 92.1 FM (Q92).
Monday-Friday if Hyde Park Central School
District is closed or on delay, THE
FOLLOWING WILL OCCUR:
 Rectory Office is closed.
 7AM and 9AM Mass is cancelled. (will be
said privately)
 Adoration Chapel will be closed until the
following morning.
This policy also allows our plowing company
the opportunity to salt and plow our parking
lots and entrances safely.
For more information, you can also check the
website for Hyde Park Central School District
for school delays and cancellations.
This policy will remain in effect throughout
the winter months. Any questions/concerns,
please call the rectory.
