On this Feast Day of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph, we give thanks to the Holy Family, for being a shining example of love, unity, and grace. Their devotion, trust, and selfless sacrifice, inspires us to seek holiness in our own families and in our St. Bart’s community. We ask the Lord God, to grant us the strength to live out the values of humility, patience, and faithfulness, just like the Holy Family, as we welcome the coming of the New Year.

"A Poem for New Year"
by F. Scott Fitzgerald
For what it’s worth...it’s never too late,
or in my case too early, to be
or in my case too early, to be
whoever you want to be. There’s no
time limit. Start whenever you want.
You can change or stay the same. There
You can change or stay the same. There
are no rules to this thing. We can make
the best or the worst of it. I hope you see things
that startle you. I hope you meet people
who have a different point of view.
I hope you live a life you are proud of,
and if you’re not, I hope you have
that startle you. I hope you meet people
who have a different point of view.
I hope you live a life you are proud of,
and if you’re not, I hope you have
the courage to start over again.
"As the new year unfolds, we will again share the blessings and joys of belonging to the community of Saint Bartholomew."
