2018 Feliz Año Nuevo Happy New Year

Simeon came in the Spirit into the temple. There was also prophetess, Anna . . .

Holy families: what are those? We look at our own families and imagine they don’t measure up. We certainly can’t draw a one-to-one correspondence with Mary, Joseph, and Jesus. Although on Jesus’ worst day and my sister Ida’s best, I admit there may be a certain affinity.

Another way to consider the holiness in families is what kind of holiness they may inspire or attract. When Joseph and Mary walk into the temple to present Jesus, the event has a magnetic effect. Suddenly Simeon, a devout man of Jerusalem who’s been praying for the salvation of Israel, is prompted by the Spirit to enter the temple. Meanwhile Anna, a prophetess who literally lives in the temple, is attracted to the scene and gives thanks to God. She becomes the earliest preacher of the gospel. You know what they say about birds of a feather. The Spirit has the same effect.

Name people whose holy examples has attracted you. How do you strive to imitate it?

Simeón vino en el Espíritu al templo. También hubo profetisa, Anna . . . Sagradas familias: ¿qué son esas? Miramos a nuestras propias familias e imaginamos que no están a la altura. Ciertamente, no podemos trazar una correspondencia uno a uno con María, José y Jesús. Aunque en el peor día de Jesús y mi hermana Ida es mejor, admito que puede haber cierta afinidad. Otra forma de considerar la santidad en las familias es qué tipo de santidad pueden inspirar o atraer. Cuando José y María entran al templo para presentar a Jesús, el evento tiene un efecto magnético. De repente, Simeón, un hombre devoto de Jerusalén que ha estado orando por la salvación de Israel, es inducido por el Espíritu a entrar al templo. Mientras tanto, Anna, una profetisa que literalmente vive en el templo, se siente atraída por la escena y le da gracias a Dios. Ella se convierte en la primera predicadora del evangelio. Ya sabes lo que dicen sobre las aves de una pluma. El Espíritu tiene el mismo efecto.

A message from Fr. Heuberger / Mensaje del Padre Heuberger

Our School Principal, Maria Palacio will retire at the end of the 2017-2018 school year. We appreciate her years of service here at St. Vincent de Paul School. We wish her the best. The Principal at Sacred Heart School, Lucy Shawn, will also retire at the end of the 2017-2018 school year. St. Vincent will join with Scared Heart School in the Principal search process. The Department of Catholic Schools, Archdiocese of Portland, will facilitate this process for a single principal to serve both communities of Sacred Heart and St. Vincent de Paul. Both schools are similar in size, we expect this will be a good fit. The data gathered by the strategic planning process recommends that small schools look for transformative organizational structures that will better serve the vitality of the mission of their schools. Sacred Heart shares this vision with St. Vincent de Paul. We will work together to hire a visionary principal who will lead both communities into the future. This principal will be a collaborative, innovative leader, working to develop the faculty at both schools to embrace creative instructional practices. The principal will develop a growth mindset, encouraging collaborative professional learning communities among both the schools.

La Directora de nuestra Escuela, María Palacio se jubilará al final del año escolar 2017-2018. Agradecemos sus años de servicio aquí en la escuela de San Vicente de Paul. Le deseamos lo mejor. La Directora de la Escuela del Sagrado Corazón, Lucy Shawn, también se jubilará al final del año escolar 2017-2018. San Vicente se unirá con la escuela de Sagrado Corazón en el proceso de búsqueda del Director. El Departamento de Escuelas Católicas, Arquidiócesis de Portland, facilitará esto proceso para un solo director para servir las dos comunidades de Sagrado Corazón y San Vicente de Paúl. Ambas escuelas son similares en tamaño, esperamos que sea una buena opción. Los datos recopilados por el proceso de planificación estratégica recomienda que las escuelas pequeñas busquen estructuras organizacionales transformadoras que sirvan mejor a la vitalidad de la misión de sus escuelas. El Sagrado Corazón comparte esta visión con San Vicente de Paúl. Trabajaremos juntos para contratar a un director visionario que liderará ambos comunidades en el futuro. Este director será un líder colaborativo e innovador, que trabajará para desarrollar la facultad en ambas escuelas para adoptar prácticas educativas creativas. El director desarrollará una mentalidad de crecimiento, fomentando el aprendizaje profesional colaborativo comunidades entre ambas escuelas.

Pray for the Sick & Home Bound / Rezar por los Enfermos May the healing love of prayer touch the following:

New Year’s Day, January 1st, 2018 Feast of Mary, Mother of God, is NOT a Holy Day of Obligation. (January 1st is normally a Holy Day of Obligation, except when it falls on a Monday, U.S. Bishops 1991). In the new year we don’t watch over sheep, but we watch over what we are supposed to be watching over. The new year will have much ‘ordinary time’, when we have to be watching over things. The Lord comes into our ordinary circumstances with His presence and love. Feast of the Holy Family December 31st, 2017 The Lord did not simply appear on the face of the earth. He came from a family. Mary and Joseph, His parents, His uncle and aunt Zechariah & Elizabeth, His cousin John the Baptist, His ancestors, and His place of birth. We continue to celebrate Christmas. God bless our families. Lucille Taft Memorial Mass on Friday, January 5th at 11 am at St. Vincent’s. Lucille Taft died on November 5th, 2017, at age 95. Burial has taken place at Belcrest. Granddaughter is Denise Kelly. Luncheon to follow in Reedy Hall. The family is grateful for the prayers and expressions of sympathy.

El día de Año Nuevo, 1 de enero de 2018 La fiesta de María, Madre de Dios, NO es un Día de Obligación. (El 1 de enero es normalmente un Día de Obligación Sagrada, excepto cuando cae en lunes, U.S. Bishops 1991). En el nuevo año no cuidamos las ovejas, pero velamos por lo que se supone que debemos vigilar. El nuevo año tendrá mucho 'tiempo ordinario', cuando tenemos que estar vigilando las cosas. El Señor entra en nuestras circunstancias ordinarias con su presencia y amor. Fiesta de la Sagrada Familia 31 de diciembre de 2017 El Señor no apareció simplemente en la faz de la tierra. Él vino de una familia. María y José, sus padres, Zacarías e Isabela, sus tíos, su primo Juan el Bautista, sus antepasados, y su lugar de nacimiento. Continuamos celebrando la Navidad. Dios bendiga a nuestras familias Misa en memoria de Lucille Taft el viernes, 5 de enero a las 11 am en San Vicente. Lucille Taft murió el 5 de noviembre de 2017, a la edad de 95 años. El funeral se realizó en Belcrest. Su nieta es Denise Kelly. Almuerzo después de la ceremonia en Reedy Hall. La familia está agradecida por las oraciones y las expresiones de simpatía.
