The Holy Family: Trusting God in Everyday Life

✨ Walking with the Holy Family

As the Church celebrates the Feast of the Holy Family, we are invited to reflect on the sacred gift of family life and the ways God is present in our homes, relationships, and daily struggles. Rooted in the joy of Christmas, this week reminds us that holiness is often lived quietly—through love, sacrifice, forgiveness, and trust in God’s providence.

✝️ From the Pastor’s Desk

Learning from Jesus, Mary, and Joseph
Fr. Skip reflects on the days between Christmas and Epiphany, drawing wisdom from the Holy Family. He reminds us that Mary and Joseph faced uncertainty, displacement, and fear—yet trusted God’s guidance every step of the way. Family life, he shares, is not about perfection but about faithfulness. By clothing ourselves with compassion, patience, humility, and love, we allow Christ to dwell in our homes and hearts, just as He did in Nazareth.

Parish Events & Life

Parish life continues with music ministry rehearsals, prayer groups, Holy Hours, Healing Prayer Ministry, and charismatic gatherings in both English and Spanish. Please note that the Parish Office will be closed on January 1 in observance of New Year’s Day. As we prepare to enter the new year, parishioners are encouraged to remain connected through prayer, worship, and service.

⛪ Worship & Sacramental Life

Daily Mass, weekend liturgies, Confession, Eucharistic Adoration, and parish devotions remain at the heart of our community. The parish also prepares to celebrate the Solemnity of Mary, the Holy Mother of God, entrusting the coming year to her loving intercession.

Parish Devotions

The Rosary, Divine Mercy Chaplet, and Eucharistic Adoration continue to offer opportunities for quiet prayer and reflection during the Christmas season. These devotions invite us to remain spiritually grounded as we move from Christmas joy into the promise of a new year.

Faith Formation & Ministries

Faith Formation, Life Teen, Edge, Confirmation preparation, OCIA, and Young Adult Ministry continue forming disciples of all ages. Parishioners are encouraged to remain engaged in these ministries as we grow together in faith, knowledge, and service.

Sacrificial Giving & Stewardship

The generosity of the Blessed Trinity community remains strong and life-giving.

️ Prayer Requests

The parish continues to lift up the sick, the homebound, and those who have died. During this Christmas season, we are reminded that prayer binds us together as one family in Christ, near and far.

Special Parish Focus

Parishioners are invited to observe the Epiphany tradition of Chalking the Door, blessing their homes for the new year and marking them as places of faith, hospitality, and peace. We also give thanks for the many ministries and volunteers who made the Christmas season prayerful, joyful, and welcoming for all.
