Lenten Retreat for Women

 

The Women’s Connection is sponsoring a Lenten Retreat for Women:  Seven Sacred Pauses – Living Mindfully Through the Hours of the Day with Sr. Macrina Wiederkehr.  Learn how to pause, intentionally and contemplatively, during the seven sacred “seasons” of the day.  The retreat will be on Fri., Feb. 19, 7- 9 p.m. in the church and Sat., Feb. 20, 9 a.m. -  4:00 p.m. in the Parish Hall.

 

Retreat registration fee is $40, or $45 after Feb. 15.  Bring a brown bag lunch; drinks, snacks and sweets will be provided.  200 women attended last year’s retreat so register early. Click here to download the registration form . 

 

Sister Joyce Rupp says, What a joy and blessing it is to know Benedictine sister, Macrina Wiederkehr.  We have given retreats together and co-authored a book, The Circle of Life.  I have received so much inner growth from my years of friendship with this deeply faith-filled woman.

Dear Friends,

Thank you for visiting Holy Family’s website.  If you haven’t already, we hope you’ll be able to visit us in person here in South Pasadena!  At Holy Family, our mantra is “All Are Welcome”:  we try our best to make sure that everyone who walks into our parish feels that they have come to a place which embraces them.   

It is an exciting time in the life of Holy Family Church.  After several years of thoughtful planning, we have transitioned to a collaborative lay model of parish leadership.  It is an honor to have been appointed by Cardinal Mahony on July 1st, 2009 as Holy Family’s Parish Life Director.  I look forward to continuing to work collaboratively with our priests, Monsignor Clement Connolly, Fr. Jose Parathanal, Fr. Niall O’Leary, and Fr. Tony Scannell, as well as with our lay staff and parish leadership. To read more about Holy Family’s leadership transition, please click on the following links: A Vision for Parish Leadership and Leadership - Parish Life Director

We are also planning for our Centennial Anniversary in 2010, when we will celebrate our past as well as look ahead to our future.   It will be a year of community festivities, prayer and reflection during which we will lift up in gratitude all those who have built up our wonderful parish.  At the same time, 2010 will see the release of our Strategic Plan which will guide the growth of the parish for the next five years. 

Our 100th Anniversary celebrations get underway with a Centennial Mass on Sunday, January 31st at 12:45 p.m. concelebrated by Cardinal Roger Mahony, Bishop Gabino Zavala, and Monsignor Connolly, as well as several of our former and current priests.  Please check our website in January for the full calendar of Centennial events. 

If you come and visit us on a Sunday, take time to stop by the Welcome Center which you will find in the Gathering Area after the 8:00 a.m., 9:30 a.m., 11:15 a.m., and 12:45 p.m. Masses.  Even if you can’t join us in person, you can listen to a podcast of the gospel and homily at the 9:30 a.m. Sunday Mass by going to Podcasts. Or you can now watch the gospel and homily from Sunday Mass by clicking on Video Mass.

Whether you live near or far, we hope that Holy Family can be part of your spiritual journey!

Blessings,
