Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
In this week’s gospel, Jesus gives us a set of priorities to being a Christian. Serve the people, care for the people and build up the people. If we are not serving, caring and building up the people of God, then we are not doing as Jesus commands. The Christian life is built on service. Service is what Jesus did in his life and service is what He is calling us to do with our lives.
The first phase of the Church renovation has started with the instillation of the new boiler system to provide heat for the Church, Religious Education building and offices. The Church now has heat, however, unfortunately, HVAC Unit No# 1 is no longer working, and we only have the one 40 ton units cooling the Church.
We have been told by the contractors that the new HVAC units are due to be installed in August. Keep your prayers coming. The instillation will be a major undertaking to replace our aged system of the parish. Thank you for your generosity towards STHY.
Furthermore, we have signed a contract with Studio Red Architects who will help guide us on phase two of the renovation of the Church. For the renovation of the sanctuary, we are planning to replace the existing pews, flooring and lighting in the main church. Thank you for your generosity to St Hyacinth.
The summer can be a very busy time for families and during the vacation season it is easy to forget that STHY needs your donations. Setting up recurring donations with Faith Direct is an easy way to make sure STHY still receives your donations while you're away. Enrollment is easy, please go to Sthayicnth.org and go to the online giving tab.
Religious Education classes will be starting soon and now is the time to start thinking about the upcoming religious Education school year. Register for Religious education classes online at Sthyacinth.org.
As this summer continues, I want to encourage everyone to use their summer down time to go to FORMED.org. FORMED is a digital online platform that gives STHY parish members unprecedented access to video-based study programs, feature films, audio presentations, and eBooks from the Church’s foremost presenters.
- Prepare for Mass each week by watching an insightful five-minute video on the Sunday Readings.
- Study the Scriptures at your own pace and time.
- Enjoy movies as a family that are both nourishing and entertaining.
- Enrich your marriage with the award-winning video program Beloved.
- Help your children grow in faith and character with engaging children’s materials.
Our parish Password to FORMED.org is 77GVZ3.
This year we will celebrate the 56th anniversary of the founding of St Hyacinth. For this year’s celebration, the weekend of August 21st and 22nd there will be a weekend of prayer, remembrance, and celebration. There will be giveaways, and fun throughout the weekend culminating with the long-anticipated raffle of wonderful prizes.
Please pick up your raffle tickets from one of the volunteers at the entrance to the Church after the weekend masses or come to the parish office to pick up your tickets during the week.
God Bless,
Fr. Reginald Samuels
