The Festival will be held at Holy Family Parish Activity Center in Lexington (1027 FM 696) from 11:00am to 3:00pm (meal served 11:00-1:00). The event will feature a delicious roast beef dinner, and guests can bid on specialty items at the Silent and Live Auctions, browse an exotic Bazaar filled with unique items from Pakistan, and enjoy special entertainment. Tickets are $10.00 (adults) and $5.00 (children). Mark your calendars now and plan to attend this fun family event and help a worthy cause at the same time!

Prayer for the Sick

Watch, O Lord, with those who wake, or watch, or weep

tonight, and give your angels charge over those who

sleep. Tend your sick ones, O Lord Christ. Rest your

weary ones. Bless your dying ones. Soothe your

suffering ones. Pity your afflicted ones. Shield your

joyous ones. And for all your love's sake. Amen.

Father George’s “Did you know?”

The crucifix is a cross on which is placed a reproduction of Christ’s crucified body. This version is popular in the Western Church, i.e. the Roman Catholic Church. However, in the Eastern Churches, i.e. the Orthodox Churches, crucifixes differ in design in that they represent our Lord crucified in the form of a flat likeness that is an icon. Both forms are acceptable for devotions both public and private. Most Protestant churches replaced the crucifix with a plain cross. There are a few exceptions however; some Lutheran congregations and some in the High Church element of the Anglican Communion still retain its use.

Movimiento Familiar is sponsoring a Valentine’s Day dance from 6:00 pm to 11:00 pm on Friday, February 12th in the parish hall. There is no entry fee. There will also be food, family games and flowers for sale. There will be tickets for a raffle; prize is a laptop computer. Music is being provided by Grupo Avendaño and DJ Gaona.

Many dioceses right here in the United States do not have enough priests and trained lay ministers to serve their parishes. These dioceses are known as home missions. The Catholic Home Missions Appeal, which will take place on Ash Wednesday in the second collection, supports these dioceses by funding essential ministries, including seminary education and lay ministry training. Please be generous in this appeal and share your resources to strengthen the Church at home.

Muchas diócesis, aquí mismo, en los Estados Unidos no cuentan con suficientes sacerdotes y ministros laicos capacitados para servir en sus parroquias. A estas diócesis se les conoce como diócesis misioneras. EI Llamado para las Misiones Católicas, que se realizara durante la segunda colecta el Miércoles de Ceniza, apoya a estas diócesis otorgándoles fondos para los ministerios básicos, incluyendo la educación de seminaristas y la capacitación para el ministerio laico. Por favor, sean generosos en este llamado y compartan sus recursos para fortalecer la Iglesia en casa.

YEAR OF MERCY

God, who is merciful, desires our mercy. Here are some ways to keep to mercy during the Jubilee Year. Try selecting one each week and putting it into practice.

1. Resist sarcasm; it is the antithesis of mercy: “Set, O Lord, a guard over my mouth; keep watch, O Lord, at the door of my lips!” (Psalm 141:3)

2. Offer to run an errand (groceries, dry cleaning pickup, dog walking, etc.) for a busy parent or homebound person.

3. Hold. Your. Tongue.

AÑO DE LA MISERICORDIA

Dios, que es misericordioso, desea nuestra misericordia. Aquí están algunas maneras para mantener misericordia en el Año de Jubilo. Seleccione uno cada semana y póngalo en práctica.

1. Resistir el sarcasmo; es la antítesis de la misericordia: "Establecer, oh Señor, una guardia

en mi boca; vigilar, oh Señor, en la puerta de mis labios!" (Salmo 141:3)

2. Ofrezca hacer un mandado (visite tiendas de abarrotes o tintorería, pasear al perro, etc.) para un padre ocupado o enfermo.

3. Mantenga. Su. Lengua.
