December 21, 2021Christmas/ Christmas Octave
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came to be through him, and without him nothing came to be."
(The Gospel of John Chapter 1 verse 1-3 )
As we begin to celebrate the Christmas season please let us continue to pray for our country and our governmental leaders that they may continue to work hard to cherish the gifts of life and liberty and work to safeguard those liberties. We always keep in our prayers those who are serving our country in the military services, especially those far from home at this time of the year. May the Lord protect them and guard them, and bring them home safely and soon.
As you are “making your list and checking it twice” for those you will remember at Christmas, might I so humbly ask that you please don’t forget your church? The parish relies on your end-of-the-year donations to help us meet our ever-growing financial obligations for our parish. We are happy to assist those who might need or want to make end of the year tax donations of cash or stocks, or if you have a minimum distribution from your IRA that you must take, we can help in that area as well. Please call the parish office for details. Thank you for your generosity and support of St. Hyacinth.
One of our goals for 2022 is to increase the number of people using our electronic formats for the dissemination of information from our parish. We have our website: Sthyaicnth.org, which is updated almost daily with information about the activities that go on in the parish. There is Flocknotes, which is our information delivery service for the parish, in which we email and or text information about the activities of the parish. Go to Flocknote.com/sthyhouston and join the group “Parishioners”. We are on Facebook, go and ‘like’ our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/StHyacinthchurch .
I want to congratulate and offer my gratitude to everyone here at St. Hyacinth who participated in the 2021 DSF campaign. We have reached our assessed commitment goal of $80,000 for DSF 2021. Cardinal DiNardo has sent his congratulations and appreciation for our efforts with completing this goal. Thank you all for your generosity in completing our goal!!

God Bless,
