St. Margaret Mary
John Hinda June 5, 1954 to December 16, 2019
MAY HE REST IN PEACE
A New Beginning
For God,
every day is New Year’s.
Every day the sun rises in His act of confidence that creation
continues.
Every baby born is His act of hope that humanity goes on.
Every marriage is His trust that love is stronger than hate.
Every morning brings a
new chance.
Every prayer is a new hope.
Every blocked path a new route.
Every sin repented a fresh burst of grace.
Every mistake a lesson learned.
Every death a new life.
He is the Lord of second chances.
He never tires of giving us another opportunity.
-Archbishop
Timothy M. Dolan

NEWS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS BIBLICAL WISDOM PRESENTED BY FR. SEAN RESUMES IN 2020! JOIN FATHER SEAN—MONDAY, JANUARY 6TH AT 11:00 AM ST. JOSEPH HEALY HALL ... Monday, January 6th, Join Fr. Sean as he resumes with week 5 of his six classes held in Healy Hall at 11:00 am. Wisdom is a virtue that is often rooted in life experience and knowledge. Biblical wisdom is similar to our own idea but there are a few differences. Biblical wisdom is often seen as a guide to life and a gift from God when one sets their hearts on the Lord. It is often referred to as “Lady wisdom” implying it has a feminine way and also implies that it is like a person. The wisdom books in the Hebrew Scriptures are Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs, Wisdom, and Sirach. Please join us on Monday mornings!
FR. MINGWEI’S WEEKLY SACRED PAGE SCRIPTURE STUDY RESUMES IN 2020! JOIN FR. MINWEI IN ST. JOSEPH—HEALY HALL TUESDAY, JANUARY 7TH AS HE RESUMES HIS WEEKLY IBIBLE STUDY 6:45 PM TO 8:15 PM Join Fr.

For anyone interested, we will train you for whatever ministry you are interested in and for those who used to volunteer but got away from it, we could really use your help. We don’t want to keep using the same people week after week, lest they get tired! Many hands make light work. Consider sharing your time and talents with your parish family. Thank you all and Happy New Year! Contact your respective rectory for information. Or plan to attend the Ministry Appreciation Dinner in St. Joseph Cafeteria on Sunday, January 12th. Anyone interested in joining a ministry is welcome!

presence.
