Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
In the Gospel for Sunday, we are all reminded of the holiness for families is not dependent upon perfection. As Mary and Joseph show us, holiness is dependent upon faithful obedience to God. This feast today calls us all to be this kind of Holy family. A Holy Family that is right with God through our actions within our own families, workplace and daily interactions with others. In light of our relationship with Jesus, lets allow our hearts to be moved this Christmas season and bring joy to the world.
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. Thank you all and your efforts are appreciated by everyone. Special thanks to Mrs. Pamella Pitman, our Director of Liturgy and Music for leading our beautiful liturgies this Christmas season.
I want to thank all the wonderful people who were responsible for decorating the church, Guyot Hall, the Religious Education building and the church grounds this Christmas season. There is a whole host of people who have given of their time and talent to come and make sure that our Christmas environment would glorify God here at STHY. I want to say a special thanks to Margie Gulledge, Natalie Poague, Barbara Kelley and Robert White, Christopher Pitman, the Liturgical Environment Team, Floral Ministry team, and volunteers who worked on a wonderful vision of Christmas for our parish. On behalf of us all here at St. Hyacinth, Thank you soo very much.
We continue with the Christmas Joy and close out the Christmas season with the St. Hyacinth Traditional Choir performing the Christmas Cantata “God Sing It On The Mountain” on This Sunday afternoon at 3:00 pm in the Church. Celebrate the simplicity and tradition of Christmas in a fresh new way, as we hear the story of our savior though scripture and music. This celebration will be a wonderful way to continue to celebrate the Christmas Season with music and prayer.
As we enter a new year, let us all think of ways in which we can make life easier for ourselves and the parish. Recall that our electronic payment system, 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. Writing checks has become almost obsolete for so many of us, so please add the church to your list of those you contribute to online. It helps us tremendously with less bank fees on our end, too. Thank you for your generosity and support of STHY.
Let’s take a look ahead to the New Year’s Day schedule. Mass schedule is as follows: Tuesday December 31st at 7:00 pm and Wednesday January 1st, New Year’s Day: 10:00 am.
The parish office will be closed December 31st- January 1st for the celebration the New Year. On behalf of the staff here at St. Hyacinth, we wish you all a Merry Christmas and a joy filled New Year!
Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year!
God Bless,
Fr. Reginald Samuels
