6th Sunday in Ordinary Time February 12, 2017
The Mission of Holy Family Catholic Parish is to be a welcoming faith community grounded in Gospel values and
dedicated to making God known to our members and all who enter our doors. We foster positive relationships with
God and one another through active participation in the ministries of worship, education, celebration, and service to all.
WELCOME
We want to welcome you warmly to Holy Family!
Holy Family is a vibrant Catholic community with much to offer members of all ages. We focus on Catholic
education, community service, faith formation, and youth & young adult ministries. We encourage you to find a home with us to share your time, talent and treasure!
New to Holy Family? Register by stopping in at the Parish Center or pick up a registration form in the vestibule.
SACRAMENT ANNOUNCEMENTS
THE INTRODUCTORY RITES include: Gather-ing, Entrance Procession & Song, Sign of Cross & Greeting, Penitential Rite, Gloria and the Opening Prayer. This beginning of the Mass is not a random collection of prayers, but an or-dered way to help all of us who gather for Mass focus ourselves in prayer. Today we will focus on Gathering and Entrance Procession & Song.
GATHERING: When you enter the church, near the doors you will find a holy water font. The water is blessed and it is the first thing you do when you come into the church. Dip the forefingers of your right hand into the blessed water and make the Sign of the Cross. As you make the Sign of the Cross you should say, “In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.”
As you walk down the aisle, be mindful of the Presence of God. Be quiet while finding a seat trying not to distract others. When you choose a row to sit at, genuflect toward the front of the church to where the tabernacle is. When you genuflect you lower yourself onto your right knee until it touches the floor. At the same time we make the Sign of the Cross.
If there are kneelers where you are sitting you make the Sign of the Cross and kneel. If there are no kneelers you sit in a prayerful posture with your hands resting on your lap. Prepare yourself and clear your mind for God. Sometimes it is helpful to pray a few memorized prayers, but these should always be followed by a real conversation with God. Tell Him what is on your mind and reflect on where God is in your life as you kneel or sit in the church.
Explaining our Catholic Mass
In the coming weeks, our goal is that these thoughts give you a deeper look at what we do as we gather at Mass so that each of us can enter more fully into the Mass each week. These thoughts are a walk through our Catholic Mass — the “Source and Summit” of our Catholic Faith!
THE ENTRANCE PROCESSION & SONG The entrance procession serves a very practical purpose: Once the people have gathered, the priest and ministers, clad in the sacred vestments, go in procession to the altar… this statement presumes something very important: that we are already gathered in the church, not running in at the last minute! This orderly procession of the altar servers, deacon and priest is accompanied
by singing.
This entrance song is more than a little “traveling music:” The entrance song unites the people in a community of worship and introduces the people to the celebration of the day. This singing belongs to all of us who have gathered, not just the choir! When the priest, deacon, and servers reach the sanctuary steps, they reverence the altar with a profound bow. A profound bow is when you bend forward at the waist completely.
While we genuflect before and after Mass out of reverence for Jesus present in the Tabernacle, all reverences during the Mass are made to the altar where the Mass takes place. The altar represents Christ, “the stone that the builders rejected that becomes the Cornerstone.” (Psalm 118) The priests and deacons present then venerate the altar with a kiss. To kiss an object is a sign of respect and greeting, and dates to the 4th century. On solemn occasions, the altar is incensed, a symbol of our prayers rising up to God.
Next Week: The Introductory Rites: Sign of the Cross & Greeting, Penitential Rite, Gloria and Opening Prayer.
Funeral Announcement:
On Friday, February 17, 2017 we will celebrate the life of Joan Dindia.
Funeral Mass will be at 11:00 AM. Reception to follow in
Celebration Hall.
May Joan and all of the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace. Amen

Singers and
musicians wanted! Lent is almost here! Please consider lending your talent to music ministry at Holy Family. There are choirs at every weekend mass, and members from all choirs combine to help
with the Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Vigil liturgies. It’s fine if you only want to commit to the Lent and Easter season, or if you can’t make it every weekend. If you or someone you know would enjoy participating in music ministry here at Holy Family, please contact me for details on practice days and times, or with any questions.
The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother.

Gospel Reflection 6th Sunday in Ordinary Time
February 12th — Matthew 5:17-37
Jesus teaches how to follow the commandments, which are very demanding. He reminds us that the commandments are not just about the things we do, but also about how we think and feel about our actions and the people in our lives. Jesus calls us to do more, to holiness.
If Jesus were here today, what other demands do you
think he would add for today’s life, today’s world?
We enjoyed a wonderful evening filled with music, food, good friends and great wine! Thank you to all who attended the event and to the many volunteers who helped to make it all happen!
