A Note from Fr. Dan

New Year’s Resolutions

Dear Parish Family,
Do you want to be a Saint?
It has been less than one week and people are taking time to consider their New Year’s resolutions. Perhaps they are to be more healthy, lose weight, exercise more, get one’s financial house in order, work on relationships; whatever they may be. I would like to suggest that we all consider a New Year’s resolution to re-kindle, intensify or even begin a spiritual relationship with God and the Church. Consider setting aside a specific time each day for prayer, praying at the beginning of your day and/or at the end, praying the Rosary daily, using one of the many resources available of FORMED, saying grace each day as a family before meals, celebrating the Sacrament of Reconciliation (going to confession) on a regular basis (if you can’t remember that last time you went to confession it might be to long). Going to Mass on a regular basis, not just on Sunday but why not try one more day during the week. As our relationship with God strengthens, then we will see more opportunities to put our faith into practice, opportunities to share our faith, opportunities to help others. God wants you to be one, in fact that is why each of us was created; to be holy and live our lives according to the plan of God and the graces He gives us to enter into Eternal Life.
Happy New Year.
God Bless,
Fr. Dan
