PRINCIPAL’S CORNER

Parent, Pastor Principal Meeting

As we begin our 60th year, we honor the past but look forward to collaborating in the

future. Fr. Rich and I have come together to create a community-building meeting in

the hall where we will collaborate to ensure HNM parish and school are doing everything possible to promote you on your spiritual journey, both as individuals, and

as family. Through prayer and conversation we are hoping to create a deeper understanding of one another. We know your needs will not look the same as those

from 15 years ago, and we need your input to ensure this success. We have set aside

two nights to meet with all HNM school families.

Tuesday, January 17th 6:00-7:00 Grades pre-kindergarten, kindergarten and 1st

7:00-8:00 Grades 2nd and 3rd

Thursday, January 19th 6:00-7:00 Grades 4th and 5th

7:00-8:00 Grades 6th, 7th and 8th

If you can't make your scheduled time, please let me know what time you can make.

If none of these work for you, Fr. Rich and I will meet with you

privately.

HNM Marriage Ministry presents

BELOVED: Finding Happiness in Marriage “In 8 sessions, Beloved explores the essential realities of Marriage, dealing with the deepest spiritual, emotional, and practical aspects

of what the sacrament means for those preparing to get married as well as those who yearn for a richer married life. Through Scripture,

Tradition, and Church teaching, God’s plan for Marriage will come alive.

You’ll see firsthand how to experience the mystery, happiness, and joy of this sacrament—from that first “I do” through the rest of your

lives. Informative and inspirational, Beloved will help you live out the Sacrament of Marriage more profoundly, so that your love story

is drawn ever more into the greatest love story of all . . . God’s own love for us.”

Experience the deeper meaning of “I Do”

SOLEMNITY OF THE EPIPHANY OF THE LORD Matthew 2:1-4, 7 -11

REFLECTING ON THE WORD

This wondrous Scripture appears almost as a drama, with Herod making a great effort to find the new ruler who would shepherd Israel, using the Magi as informants. The text names three gifts, but doesn’t name how many Magi there were. In its clarity and simplicity, the Gospel tells us that Jesus came not just for the Jews but for foreigners from many lands.

……On the Way to Mass

The Gospel says that the Magi followed a star. How can we find Jesus today, if there is no star to lead us?

On the Way Home from Mass……

I wonder what we can do to light the way for Jesus to come into school, work, and family activities?

EUCHARISTIC MINISTER TRAINING CLASS
