TWENTIETH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME First Reading: Isaiah 56:1, 6-7 The Lord wants all people to love and honor his name. He says that those who honor him by obeying all of his laws will be “made joyful in my house of prayer.” Second Reading: Romans 11:13-15, 29-32 Paul describes his hopes that his fellow Jews will follow the example of the Gentiles he has been preaching to. He claims that just as God has mercy for their disobedience, he wishes to show mercy to the Jews as well. Gospel: Matthew 15:21-28 A Canaanite woman begged Jesus to help her daughter, who was being plagued by a demon. Jesus at first refused her and said that “My mission is only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” The woman was so persistent that Jesus said she had great faith and then he healed her daughter.

TWENTIETH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME AUGUST 20, 2017

Holy Family Parish

Welcome to Holy Family Parish We, the people of Holy Family Parish, in the Diocese of Trenton, are called through Baptism to celebrate the presence of Christ in Word, Sacrament, and Deed. We are called and sent by Christ to live gratefully the life God has

given us and to proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ. In the spirit of faith, service, and community, we strive to bring people closer together and closer to God. Parish Registration We welcome you if you are a new member to the parish and invite you to register at the Rectory Office. We encourage you to share in a parish ministry program. You may register at Holy Family in a variety of ways including picking up the form in the rectory or filling the form out online and either mailing it to the rectory, dropping it in the collection basket or hand delivering it to the rectory. Become a Registered Parishioner One of the most important things that the people of a parish should do is register. Registering for the parish not only makes you more a part of the family of Holy Family and the Church it gives a chance for you and your family to be counted and heard in the parish. Some important reasons to register are the following: Sponsor Certificates - when you are asked to be a sponsor for either Baptism or Confirmation you need a letter signed from your pastor stating that you are a practicing Catholic. If you are not registered in the parish, it is not possible for the pastor to sign these forms. Marriage- For marriage preparation and marriage a letter may be needed from your pastor to allow you to get married in another parish or church. Funerals- When burying a loved one in a catholic cemetery without a funeral mass it is necessary to get priest lines. Unfortunately, the pastor needs to know if a parishioner was a registered member before he can officially sign the documents. Mailings - You will receive all parish mailings with regards to special events and announcements. Contributions - registered parishioners receive weekly envelopes to assist with the day-to-day operations of the parish. These are just a few of the ways that being a registered parishioner can make your experience a better one at Holy Family. Religious Education Summer Office hours are: Monday through Thursday: 9:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. Closed Fridays Our Parish Summer Office hours are: Monday through Thursday: 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Friday: 9:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. Closed Saturday & Sunday. For additional information about how to register at our parish, please contact the parish office at 732-264-1484.
