Stay with me tonight, Jesus, in life with all its dangers, I need you Let me recognize You as Your disciples did at the breaking of bread, so that the Eucharistic Communion be the light which disperses the darkness, the force which sustains me, the unique joy of my heart Stay with me, Lord, because at the hour of my death, I want to remain united to You, if not by Communion, at least by grace and love Stay with Me, Jesus, I do not ask for divine consolation, because I do not merit it, but, the gift of Your presence, O yes, I ask this of You! Stay with me, Lord, for it is You alone I look for Your love, Your Grace, Your Will, Your Heart, Your Spirit, because I love You and ask no other reward but to love You more and more With a firm love, I will love You with all my heart while on earth and continue to love You perfectly during all eternity Amen Holy Family Parish's KIDZONE!!!

The Nativity of St John the Baptist 6 June 24, 2018 SUMMERTIME Summertime and the living is easy That s what the favorite old song says The living may be easy, but often the giving is not Summer collections often drop significantly in our parish because of vacation travel, sports schedules and other activities that cause parishioners to attend Mass in other parishes If you would like to make your giving easy and consistent this summer, please consider our electronic giving option Currently, 60 parish families are using this simple and secure way to make and track their parish giving If you would like to learn more, please contact Anita at the parish office, 372-2127 or by email, fortmadholyfamilyfin@diodavorg A VIGIL LIGHT IS A PRAYER Many have come to appreciate today the ancient tradition of showing honor to God and devotion to Mary, the angels and saints by requesting the lighting of a vigil candle The light, a symbol of our hope and desires and the heavenly brightness, reflects our belief in the power of prayer which can take so many forms The lighted candle silently speaks for us when words fail to express the full reality of our intentions It makes visible our petitions and thanksgiving for favors received or sought May your lighted candle be a prayer, like incense rising to our Heavenly Father May the warmth of the unspoken prayer of your vigil light bring you peace and consolation!
