Dearly Beloved in Christ:
In this edition of the bulletin, you will find the Annual Financial/Pastoral Report for
the 2021 Fiscal Year (June 2020 – July 2021), which was prepared in conjunction with our
Parish Finance Council. Please take home the report and review it at your convenience.
Pastoral Council
This past year is one that has scarred our collective consciousness due to the
disruptions and untold hardships that were ushered in by the Pandemic. In spite of these, Rev. Fr. Jude Ezuma - Pastor
you all stood tall in your generosity. I am grateful to all of you for your sacrifice and I truly
Carolyn Sunseri - Chairwoman
“give thanks to my God at every remembrance of you, praying always with joy in my every
prayer for all of you, because of your partnership for the gospel” (cf. Philippians 1:3-5). Bill Kennedy - Co-Chairman
Generosity is both an act of faith and an expression of gratitude to God for His
Dana Ashbacher - Recorder
blessings to us. As His children and beneficiaries of His great gifts, we are all called to faithful
stewardship. For a disciple of Christ, stewardship is a way of life and is to be expressed Thomasine Allen
through hospitality, prayer, formation and service. In other words, we are exhorted to work
diligently to make our parish community a place that is more welcoming and hospitable to Amy Bly
all; be engaged in the liturgical life of the parish and foster our prayer life, especially in the Paula Fairbanks
family; take advantage of the different opportunities that are being offered for formation as
disciples of Christ; and not be afraid to serve and volunteer in the parish. Mary Ramirez
So how can we go about this? Here is a practical recommendation: next week, we
Ramona Trevino
will be having our Annual Parish Stewardship Fair at the Family Life Center at St. Patrick’s. At
the fair, we will be showcasing the different ministries that are present in our parish. We Israel Garza
invite you to stop by, to learn more about the different ministries, and to become more
Annette Denton
engaged in the parish through any one of these ministries.
I am also excited to announce that later this month, also, we will be launching our
parish One Faith, One Family Campaign. This campaign is the culmination of the Master Plan
initiatives that were begun by the Franciscans to respond to the needs of our growing parish;
the most pressing being the need for a central location to serve as our Parish Life Center. Do School Principal
not be afraid to put your gifts of Time, Talent and Treasure to service for the preservation
and promotion of our Catholic legacy and faith on the island, and I thank you all in Nadia Canino
anticipation of your generous cooperation.
May we continue to work for a thriving Holy Family Parish, united in the joy of the
Holy Spirit and in charity, as missionary disciples, amen!
Your servant-leader in Christ,
Finance Council

Queridos Amados en Cristo
En esta edición del boletín, encontrará el Informe Pastoral / Financiero Anual para el
año fiscal 2021 (junio de 2020 - julio de 2021), que fue preparado en conjunto con nuestro Consejo Pastoral
Consejo Parroquial de Finanzas. Llévese el informe a casa y revíselo a su conveniencia.
Este último año ha marcado nuestra conciencia colectiva debido a las interrupciones Rev. P. Jude Ezuma - Pastor
y las incalculables dificultades que marcó el comienzo de la pandemia. A pesar de esto, todos
ustedes se mantuvieron firmes en su generosidad. Estoy agradecido a todos ustedes por su Carolyn Sunseri - Presidenta
sacrificio y verdaderamente "doy gracias a mi Dios por cada recuerdo de ustedes, orando
siempre con alegría en cada oración por todos ustedes, por su colaboración por el Bill Kennedy - Copresidente
evangelio" (cf. Filipenses 1: 3-5). Dana Ashbacher - Secretaria
La generosidad es tanto un acto de fe como una expresión de gratitud a Dios por sus
bendiciones para nosotros. Como hijos suyos y beneficiarios de sus grandes dones, todos Thomasine Allen
estamos llamados a una mayordomía fiel. Para un discípulo de Cristo, la corresponsabilidad
es una forma de vida y debe expresarse a través de la hospitalidad, la oración, la formación y Amy Bly
el servicio. En otras palabras, se nos exhorta a trabajar diligentemente para hacer de Paula Fairbanks
nuestra comunidad parroquial un lugar que sea más acogedor y hospitalario para todos;
participar en la vida litúrgica de la parroquia y fomentar nuestra vida de oración, Mary Ramirez
especialmente en la familia; aprovechar las diferentes oportunidades que se ofrecen para la
Ramona Trevino
formación como discípulos de Cristo; y no tenga miedo de servir y ser voluntario en la
parroquia. Israel Garza
Entonces, ¿cómo podemos hacer esto? Aquí hay una recomendación práctica: la
próxima semana, tendremos nuestra Feria Anual de Mayordomía Parroquial en el Centro de Annette Denton
Vida Familiar en St. Patrick's. En la feria, mostraremos los diferentes ministerios que están
presentes en nuestra parroquia. Lo invitamos a pasar por aquí para aprender más sobre los
diferentes ministerios y participar más en la parroquia a través de cualquiera de estos
ministerios. Directora de la Escuela
También me complace anunciar que a finales de este mes también lanzaremos
nuestra campaña parroquial Una Fe, Una Familia. Esta campaña es la culminación de las Nadia Canino
iniciativas del Plan Maestro que comenzaron los franciscanos para responder a las
necesidades de nuestra creciente parroquia; el más urgente es la necesidad de una ubicación
central para servir como nuestro Centro de Vida Parroquial. No tengan miedo de poner sus
dones de Tiempo, Talento y Tesoro al servicio de la preservación y promoción de nuestro Consejo de Finanzas
legado y fe católicos en la isla, y les agradezco a todos anticipando su generosa cooperación.
Que podamos seguir trabajando por una parroquia de la Sagrada Familia próspera, Rev. P. Jude Ezuma - Pastor
unidos en el gozo del Espíritu Santo y en la caridad, como discípulos misioneros, ¡amén!
Matthew Furlong - Copresidente
Tu siervo-líder en Cristo,
P. Jude Ekenedilichukwu Ezuma David Walker- Secretario

PATIENCE
Patience is one of the fruits of the Holy Spirit. ”Patience is the calm acceptance that things can happen in a
different order than the one I have in mind” (David J. Allen). It is hard to wait on God and worst still waiting
on others, but with a little patience in our hearts, we can make a difference. This great virtue we receive
from the Holy Spirit of God, helps us to endure hardships and pains, and stop complaining when we feel
abandoned by God. Patience keeps us close to each other even when we are hurt or angry.
All our wedded couples who have lived for more than 20 years still married and ready to continue until the
day they are called out of this world by our Creator are the true example of patience. They have lived out
this virtue to the fullest and the Holy Spirit of God will be very proud of them. As Joyce Meyer rightly said,
“patience is not the ability to wait, but how one acts while waiting.” Yes, it is not all about waiting, but my
attitude while I wait is what matters.
The children of Israel according to the book of Exodus 20:2-12 became impatient with God after all that God
did for them before the Egyptians; none of that generation entered the Promised Land because of their
attitude towards God. Moses was the greatest prophet that ever lived; the only man who spoke to God face
to face, though he is in heaven, he did not enter the Promised Land because he was impatient with himself
and the people of God. He allowed anger to control him and struck the rock twice when he was only told by
God to speak to the rock at Meribah-Kadesh. Impatience can cause a lot of damage in our lives and in our
relationship with others.
Remember that love is patient and that is the reason it bears all things and endures all things too. Patience
can help us overcome all negative thoughts about others and drop all ill-feelings and hatred, and be more
Christ-like in our actions and attitude toward others. Now I know that a little patience when I am angry, will
save me from a lifetime of regrets.
Let us pray together:
Dear Lord,
Please, I am sorry for the times I have failed to be patient
with myself and others.
Help me to accept the things I cannot change; to change the things I can;
and give me the grace to see You working in all that I encounter daily.
Amen.
