January 19, 2022Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
The Gospel of Luke states: “God placed the parts, each one of them, in the body as he intended.” Each person plays a role in the body of Christ. It is our job to respond to the role that God has given us in our lives. When each person uses the gifts and skills that God has given them, then the entire body of Christ will benefit. However, if only a few responds to God’s vocation, then there is lack throughout the community. As we ponder upon our role in the body of Christ, think of our important your role is and how we are called to encourage others in their own roles before God.
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 I along with the team, update 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 tab on our website and join the group “Parishioners”. We are on Facebook, go and ‘like’ our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/StHyacinthchurch . Our livestream masses and liturgies can be found on our website, Facebook and Vimeo.
Next, I want to challenge everyone to take time out of their busy schedule and go to the Prayer Garden and Stations of the Cross on the property of Church next to the police station. The rehabilitated area looks beautiful. Every year, the Confirmation class presents a live station of the Cross, and this year will be special. Once again , I would like to thank Will Dever, Beth Dever, Howard Scheffer, Mary Scheffer, Jim Holdon, Steven Rodriguez, Raul Turner, Paul Arrigo, Don Zuchkaro, Allan Konvicka, the members of the Catholic Daughters, the members of the ACTS Community and the men of the Knights of Columbus who have been assisting in the rehabilitation of the STHY prayer Garden and Stations of the Cross. Thank you for all your help.
The renovation of the main sanctuary has been spectacular. The Church looks beautiful. To cap off the renovation of the Church, there are a few items that are due the in February and March. The new items include new water fonts, Stations of the Cross and two new Sanctuary lamps for the Altar and these items should arrive before the start of lent. All the items for the Church are import items from the manufacturer so keep your fingers crossed that they will be here in time for the celebration of the Lenten season.
Finally, preparations have started for the 8th Annual Ministries retreat here at St. Hyacinth. The retreat will start on March 5th with Mass and throughout the day there will be several presentations on the Liturgy from guests throughout the Archdiocese. We welcome everyone who is involved with our ministries to sign up for this important retreat, especially to develop an understanding as to why Liturgy is the work of the people. Sign up online at https://sthyacinth.org/8th-annual-ministries-retreat-3-5-22 . Be on the lookout for more details online and in the bulletin.
God Bless,
Fr. Reginald Samuels
