Our Beliefs

We the Catholic community of Holy Child Parish, baptized into Christ Jesus and confirmed by the gifts of the Holy Spirit, commit ourselves to:

• Worship God in spirit and in truth through the celebration of the Eucharist;
• Come together as a vibrant and faith filled community focusing on the spiritual and temporal needs of all;
• Proclaim in word and deed the Good News of Jesus Christ to all persons, inviting them to share our faith and mission;
• Teach the saving message of Christ so that all believers may come to a deeper understanding, conversion and personal witness to Christ.

Prayer

God, Almighty Father, when Mary surrendered herself to your Word, she conceived Christ first in her mind through faith, in her heart through hope and love, and finally in her body through the marvelous operation of your Holy Spirit. By her eagerness to be the mother of your Son, she opened the floodgates of your merciful love for all men and women. May she help all people to live by faith, hope, love, and obedience to your will. May she remind us always that you want to bring salvation to our brothers and sisters through our faith and good works. Help us to accept fully our responsibility to combat the culture of death and foster the culture of life in our American society. We ask this through Christ, Our Lord. Amen.

Didi you know that Pope Paul VI, in his apostolic exhortation Marialis Cultus (1974), called the Solemnity of Mary “a fitting occasion for renewing adoration of the newborn Prince of Peace, for listening once more to the glad tidings of the angels (Luke 2:14), and for imploring from God, through the Queen of Peace, the supreme gift of peace.”

Though New Year’s Day may seem more like a day for parades and football than for Mary, there’s a beautiful spiritual significance in celebrating her during the heart of the Christmas season.

 Solemnities are the highest rank of liturgical celebration within our Catholic faith. By celebrating a solemnity dedicated to Mary’s motherhood, the Church highlights the significance of her role in the life of Christ.

SPIRITUAL COMMUNION PRAYER

My Jesus,

I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.

I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul.

Since I cannot at this moment receive You Sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart.

I embrace You as if You were already there and united myself wholly to You.

Never permit me to be separated from You.

Amen
