S R Everything we have comes as a gift from God. Advent is the time we especially remember the poverty of our sinful world before Jesus brought the riches of God’s Merciful Love. The joy of Christmas evokes generosity towards those we love as we exchange gifts with them. It prompts us to ask: How do I show my gratitude to God in exchange for all His gifts to me?

Gratitude for a life of discipleship in this parish, including: ∗ The gift of baptism through which I was freed from original

sin, adopted as a child of God, and given the promise of eternal life

∗ This beautiful church where I worship with my spiritual family in the Mystical Body of Christ

∗ The Real Presence of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist by which I am nourished by the Bread from Heaven

∗ The full Mass schedule and reverent liturgies with extraordinary sacred music

∗ The opportunity to spend time with our Eucharistic Lord in the perpetual adoration chapel

∗ The forgiveness of sins in Confession offered here every day of the week (instead of 45 minutes once per week or “by appointment” as in other parishes)

∗ A dynamic Catholic school which shapes the minds and hearts of our youngsters with Truth, Goodness, and Beauty

∗ A wide range of faith formation opportunities for every age presented according to the Magisterium of the Church.

The way we spend our time, talent, and treasure is the concrete expression of how we prioritize our lives.

HOLY FAMILY ACADEMY R O 2019-2020 A Y Starting December 7th, Holy Family Academy registration

opens for returning students in all grades and for their younger siblings who are just beginning school. Registration will open to the general public starting on January 6th. We encourage families to enroll their children as soon as possible—especially since we foresee a waiting list for Pre-K and Kindergarten. Please go to www.hfamn.org for more information and to begin the registration process.

L F A 2020-2021 It seems like a long time away, but an early start is helpful for

young families planning ahead for Pre-K and Kindergarten. We anticipate not having enough places available in our early childhood education program due to its popularity and the space constraints we face until our facility expansion. Any parishioners who are interested may place their children’s names on the 2020-2021 waiting list to receive priority consideration when registration begins next December. Please contact our principal Mr. Jim Grogan at [email protected] if interested.

P O HFA We are accepting applications for a caregiver position for our

early morning drop-off and after-school programs. Hours are Mon-Fri 7-9 AM and 3:15-5:30pm. This could be seen as one position or divided into separate positons by morning or afternoon or by splitting up the week. Supervisory skills needed for children ages 3-14. Hourly salary is competitive. Please contact our principal Mr. Jim Grogan at 952.999.4801 or [email protected] if interested; whether it be all 5 days or just one day!

EXCITING NEWS FOR OUR PARISH

6

ENHANCING OUR FACILITIES: After nine months of prayer and parish-wide discussion, the members of the Pastoral Council, the School Advisory Council, and the Finance Council unanimously recommended moving forward with a capital campaign for enhancing our facilities. This news was greeted last Sunday in church by applause--a good sign that people are ready to support this project after a decade of dreaming about it. Registered parishioners should have received an informational letter this past week but the campaign logistics won't begin until January and the three-year pledge cycle sometime shortly afterwards. If all goes well, we would hope to break ground on the addition in June 2020. Some people may wish to make an initial gift to this campaign before the end of 2018 for tax purposes. We will start accepting capital campaign donations online very soon. In the meantime, if you’d like to donate, please write out and deliver a separate check to “Holy Family Catholic Church” clearly indicating “capital campaign” in the memo line. Please make sure that any contribution to this campaign is above and beyond your regular support for the ongoing operations of our parish. A frequently asked question has been about Chesterton Academy as the idea of a potential collaboration was a late addition to our brainstorming. Their board has discerned a different direction so they won't be a part of our project. For more information and updates, visit www.hfcmn.org/campaign-facilities.

NEW PERSONNEL: We will see the return of sisters to Holy Family! The Handmaids of the Heart of Jesus are a recently formed group of sisters based in New Ulm (www.handmaidsoftheheartofjesus.com). They will be sending sisters to our parish starting in the Fall of 2020. What will the sisters do? It remains to be seen who will be sent and what skills they will have as we are still a year and a half away from their arrival. The sisters will work in both church and school. What is clear from our side is that we would never replace any of our current staff just to make room for a sister. If there is a staff opening at that time, we would certainly see if a qualified sister is available. There are plenty of things to be done here without replacing anyone: creating a sort of campus ministry at HFA, parish youth group and young adult ministry, etc. Where will the sisters live? The St. Joseph campus of St. Gabriel parish in Hopkins has an abandoned convent with 18 bedrooms. Structurally it is in good shape but internally it is a bit of a disaster. We will use the coming year to restore it as the future home of the sisters. They preferred it instead of a house near Holy Family as it is already designed as a convent (with chapel, etc.) and they see it becoming their main base in the Twin Cities. As God has blessed them with many vocations, they intend to fill it with sisters! Some sisters will work in Hopkins and in other apostolates or undertake further studies--we can't be greedy and have them all at Holy Family! Please join me in thanking God for the many ways He is blessing our parish. There is much work for us to do to cooperate with these blessings—so let’s get started! ~ Father Joseph Johnson
