Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
On this celebration of the Epiphany of the Lord we are called to ask God to lead us closer to the kingdom. God leads us just as surely as the star led the magi to Bethlehem. We are not in control, but we must trust in God’s loving presence and sure guidance. As we start a new year, this is the best opportunity to ask God to guide us through our lives in a new way. Let’s try not to limit God, but allow a limitless God to guide us through all the wonderful possibilities of our lives.
Once again I want to thank all the wonderful people who were responsible for decorating the Church and the Church grounds this Christmas season. There have been many people who have worked long and hard of the past few months to make sure that the people of St. Hyacinth could celebrate the incarnation our Lord. Thank you all for your time and generosity to make this Christmas season special for all.
I want to thank our entire ministry team who help bring to St. Hyacinth a wonderful Christmas liturgy. Without the Sacristans, Ushers, Greeters, Altar servers, Readers, Acolytes, Musicians, and Choirs; we could not have a Christmas celebration in the Church. With a special thanks to Mrs. Pamella Pitman our Director of Liturgy and Music for panning out the special liturgies for the season. Thank you all and your efforts are appreciated by everyone.
One of our goals for 2021 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 .
Our next goal in 2021 is to increase the number of families using Faith Direct. Currently we have 191 families using Faith Direct and hopefully by the end of the year we can have at least 325 families of STHY on Faith Direct. The number of 325 families represents 20% of our parish population of registered parishioners.
Faith Direct, is an easy and secure way to see that your offertory contributions to the church are made on a timely basis. It is an easy and wonderful way to contribute to the church. You can register in less than five minutes by logging on to www.faithdirect.net and entering our parish code of TX526. From there a few short steps will have you set up as you wish: weekly, monthly, special collections, etc. You can pay by credit card or bank draft. It’s convenient, fast and secure. Thank you for your generosity and support of STHY.
We are aware that 2020 was a tough year for everyone. Going into the New Year, let’s continue to pray for all of those affected by the pandemic especially those people who are receiving medical care and lets pray for all of our first responders who have been on the front lines of this pandemic.
God Bless and have a blessed New Year!!!!
Fr. Reginald Samuels
