The Synod on the Family has been deliberating over the questions of marriage, divorce, remarriage, the role of women and gays. The synod recognizes the fact that people seek to enter a second marriage and many are cohabitating for years before they get married or some never seem to “formally tie the knot” either civilly or in church. The questions have been on the table for years. So the synod is simply recognizing the “facts on the ground” and asking the Holy Spirit to guide the church which is made up of very wide and divergent cultures which share many of the same hopes, fears and concerns. How do we deal with these issues as well as those who experience domestic violence and sexual abuse? In Philadelphia, Pope Francis said that the synod on the family is an opportunity for the Church to reflect on how best to offer care, protection and support for families. That support is needed in the good times and in the bad. Lay catholics, like the bishops who gathered in Rome, would not want to see a change in church teaching, in the indissolubility of marriage. But they did look at the ways the church perhaps can and should accompany them when they face difficulties, such as marriage breakdowns, divorce and remarriage. Some feel that a more compassionate approach will harm the Church. But years of maintaining the status quo in the last two pontificates has not stemmed the decline of the Church in the West. Catholics voted with their feet. More of them may still do so? These questions are many and complex – years are need to untangle them all but I believe the Holy Spirit is telling us that mercy, compassion and love will never fail us.

PERPETUAL EUCHARISTIC ADORATION Christ's followers were skeptical when He preached the reality of His Body and Blood as food and drink. St. John said, "many of His disciples withdrew and no longer went about with Him." Seeing this, Jesus asked the Twelve, "Do you also want to leave me?" Simon Peter did not understand any more than those who left Christ, but his loyalty was more firm. "Lord," he said, "to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life." We have the "Word of Eternal Life" right here with us day and night in our Adoration Chapel. Do you have something you want to ask Him? There are several hours needing adorers. Please pick one for your personal hour with Him.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION This New Year’s Eve, at the turning of the year, you may catch a glimpse of the old year, a cartoon figure of a hunched old man with a sickle, Father Time. Where else but in this column could you learn that this is in fact a pope? December 31 was in the old calendar the feast of St. Sylvester. Legend says that Sylvester healed the Emperor Constantine of leprosy, and presided at the liturgy of baptism for the grateful emperor. In 314, he was chosen pope, and it fell to him to organize the peacetime church, free at last from persecution. He founded the Lateran Basilica, the cathedral of the Diocese of Rome. In northern Europe “Sylvester Night” is a time of great parties with eating, dancing, and singing—recalling perhaps the joy of the church in the fresh air of Sylvester’s papacy. In Poland, there was great fear as the year 1000 approached that an immense dragon would devour the earth and set fire to the heavens. The people prayed earnestly to St. Sylvester, trusting that the saint would not permit such suffering on his feast day. They’ve been celebrating ever since! Many New Year’s customs have pagan roots, like the British “First Footer” tradition. The idea is that the first person setting foot into your house in the new year determines the luck for the year ahead. The ideal first footer was not a bit like old Pope Sylvester, but rather a tall, dark-haired man carrying the right gift. A handsome first footer meant the year ahead would be pleasant, and if he carried bread or a shovel of coal there would be food and warmth in the future. Who will be your household’s first footer?

Joy In Jesus” Sunday Program The pre-school children in the “Joy in Jesus” Sunday program celebrated their Baptism with a holy water blessing. They learned the meaning of Advent and waiting for the birthday of Jesus by making an Advent wreath using fresh evergreen branches. The candles were lit for each week of Advent. For Christmas, they made ornaments and decorated a tree. The “Joy in Jesus” program is open to children ages 3 1/2 through kindergarten. Classes are held in the school during the 10:45 AM Mass each Sunday. The second half of this year’s session will begin on January 3rd. There are several openings in the classes at this time.

When life and family are not treasured and preserved in a society, collapse on all fronts is inevitable. Sadly, this statement applies to America today. Pray for an end to the culture of death. Let us continue to pray daily: “Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I love you very much. I beg you to spare the life of the unborn baby that I have spiritually adopted who is in danger of abortion.”

You are invited to our 28th annual Fiesta ng Sto. Nino Ng Tundo on January 10, 2016 at St. John Brebeuf Church. 2:30 PM Novena; 4:00 PM Holy Mass will be officiated by Rev. Ronald Paulino; 5:00 PM Church Procession 5:30 PM Reception Procession will continue from the Church to the Ministry Center for the reception. This Fiesta is sponsored by the Sto Nino members.

Drodzy Parafianie, Ostatni Synod o Rodzinie koncentrował się wokół kwestii małżeństwa, rozwodu, ponownego małżeństwa, roli kobiet i osób o orientacji homoseksualnej. Synod uznaje fakt, że ludzie zawierają drugie małżeństwa i wchodzą w związki nieformalne, zanim się pobiorą a niektóre związki nigdy nie wdają się "formalnie w ślub" zarówno cywilny jak i kościelny. Sprawy te były na tzw. stole od lat. Synod po prostu uznaje "fakty na ziemi", prosząc Ducha Świętego, aby prowadził Kościół, który składa się z bardzo szerokich i rozbieżnych kultur, które podzielają wiele z tych samych nadziei, lęków i obaw. Jak poradzić sobie z tymi problemami, a także tych, którzy doświadczają przemocy domowej i wykorzystywania seksualnego? W Filadelfii, Franciszek powiedział, że Synod o rodzinie jest szansą dla Kościoła, aby zastanowić się, jak najlepiej zaoferować opiekę, ochronę i wsparcie dla rodzin. To wsparcie jest potrzebne w dobrych czasach i na złych. Katolicy świeccy, podobnie jak biskupi, którzy zebrali się w Rzymie, nie chcieliby zmian w nauczaniu Kościoła zwłaszcza na temat nierozerwalności małżeństwa. Ale zwrócili uwagę na sposób, w jaki Kościół być może powinien im towarzyszyć, kiedy napotkają na trudności, jakimi są kryzys małżeński, rozwód i ponowne małżeństwo. Niektórzy uważają, że tego rodzaju współczujące podejście będzie szkodzić Kościołowi. Ale lata utrzymania status quo ostatnich dwóch pontyfikatów nie przyczyniły się do wzrostu Kościoła na Zachodzie. Katolicy głosowali w tych kwestiach nogami. Więcej z nich nadal może tak robić? Te pytania są liczne i złożone - lata są potrzebne, aby je wszystkie rozwikłać, ale wierzę, że Duch Święty mówi nam, że miłosierdzie, współczucie i miłość nigdy nas nie zawiedzie. Zobacz www.sjbrbeuf.org na ostatnie wydarzenia w parafii i Kościoła powszechnego. Rejestracja on-line lub ofiary elektroniczne - zgodnie z instrukcjami. Ks. Mike Meany PAMIEC Jeśli chcesz, aby pamiętać Twojego zmarłego krewnego lub przyjaciela, w sposób szczególny, to jest twoja szansa. Przyjmujemy datki na wino i chleb, które są używane podczas Mszy w tygodniu. Co tydzień w Biuletynie będziemy zaznaczać, kto zamowil chleb i wino, ktore zostały przekazane pamięci naszym zmarlym. Sugerowana darowizna to 50 $. Możesz zostawić lub przeslac pocztą wpłaty do Biura Parafialnego, z napisem ”Altar Bread Memorial”. Prosze podać swoje nazwisko i imię/a osob, które chcecie pamiętać. Zamowienia są publikowane w Biuletynie w kolejności ich otrzymania.
