Dear SFA Parish Family,
The parish has recently purchased new hymnals and this is an opportunity for you to memorialize or honor someone near and dear to you! The new hymnal is the hardbound 5th edition of the St. Michael Hymnal. We have begun using them at both of our English language weekend Masses.

While the entire order of new hymnals was paid for by an anonymous donor, to help support the Sacred Music Program here at SFA, parishioners can have a hymnal dedicated in memory or honor of a family member, a friend, a priest or deacon who served the parish, a religious who inspired you here or in school, or even a saint! The donation is $25 per hymnal. The tribute bookplate will be placed on the inside front cover.

Please use the form found in the vestibule of the church to arrange a hymnal donation and tribute, OR for your convenience, please use the online form found in the link below.. As indicated on the form, the top line is fixed and based on whether the person is ‘living’ or ‘deceased’.

The following are example tributes:

When for the living-
     This hymnal is given to the glory of God In Honor of:
     Bishop Peter Jugis
     With love and appreciation by (donor’s name)

When for the deceased-
     This hymnal is given to the glory of God In Memory of:
     Bob & Dolores Hope
     With love and appreciation by (donor’s name)

The deadline to order is February 28th, 2023.  Please place yours ASAP.

Thank you in advance for your participation and generosity which will benefit our parish for years to come and serve as a lasting tribute to special people in your life.

Dearest Jesus, little Infant of Prague, how tenderly you love us! Your greatest joy is to dwell among us and to bestow your blessing upon us. Though I am not worthy that you should help me, I feel drawn to you by love because you are kind and merciful. So many who turned to you with confidence have received blessings and had their petitions granted. Behold me as I come before you to lay open my heart to you with its prayers and hopes. I present to you especially this request, which I enclose in your loving Heart (state your request). Rule over me, dear Infant Jesus, and do with me and mine according to your holy will, for I know that in your divine wisdom and love you will arrange everything for the best. Do not withdraw your hand from me, but protect and bless me forever. I pray you, all-powerful and gracious Infant Jesus, for the sake of your sacred infancy, in the name of your blessed Mother Mary who cared for you with such tenderness, and by the greatest reverence with which St. Joseph carried you in his arms, help me in my needs. Make me truly happy with you, dearest Infant, in time and in eternity, and I shall thank you forever with all my heart. Amen.
