2 Today s Meditation The idea, dream, and reality of family is so strong and durable that we use it to describe all that is best about human gatherings. We speak of the family of nations, of our church and parish families. The greatest compliment we can pay a friend or gracious host is to say that we feel at home with them, we feel part of the family. Families are the first crucibles in which love is tested and tempered. Jesus himself was one of three people who lived in the shadow of each other. This family, like our own, did not always get it right, but they always tried to. These three amateurs were on holiday, and one of them got lost. Two were worried sick and took great measures to find the third, a boy after all, who was seeking the meaning of his calling. He found his vocation to do his Father s work but he also returned home with his parents. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.

Thank you! Priests Welfare & Retirement Collection January 5th & 6th St. Stanislaus Parish is now assessed over $10,200 annually for the Priests Welfare & Retirement Fund of the Diocese of Raleigh. We have collected only $2,955.00, so far in this fiscal year. (July 2018-June 2019). What we do not receive in these special collections must be paid from our general funds. This collection is different than the special collection we participated in during early December to support Retired Religious. That was a national collection to assist religious orders (brothers & sisters); this collection is to assist Priests in the Diocese of Raleigh. Please be as generous as you can. Your donations help honor those who have served our families faithfully. Thank you for you generosity. Mass for Life and NC Right to Life The Diocese of Raleigh is partnering with NC Right to Life to continue the tradition of taking a stand for the dignity of every human life, from conception to natural death.
