Jesus Christ is truly present in the Eucharist. His life-giving offering provides food for our souls, brings us hope and peace. To be in the presence of Jesus means that we are with God and God is with us. Yet too often we forget this. We receive the Eucharist without stopping to think what it truly means to receive the Eucharist with joy, to know that we have God within us and to bring ourselves and God into the world. Look at the shining faces of the children receiving their First Communion. They know that they are in the presence of something that is wonderful. Can we who are older do the same?  The National Eucharistic Revival is meant to reawaken our joy and our hope, remind ourselves that we are in the presence of wonder and awe of Christ. As part of this revival, Holy Child Jesus Parish will have an additional Adoration and Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament on every third Friday of every month between 9:00 a.m. and 6:45 p.m. with Benediction to follow at 7:00 p.m. We will be in the presence of Christ, worship him, praise him, talk to him. We can rest in his arms, be peaceful knowing that he loves us. Sign-up for one-hour adoration times for is available HERE, by calling the Rectory at (773) 764-0615, or filling out the form at the back of church.  Spend some time with Jesus! 

Holy Child Jesus Parish is happy to announce that our parishioner Ronabel Castillo has been named as Director of Youth Formation. She and Fr. Arthur will be working together to form and build up the role of youth in our parish. We often hear that our young people are our future. It is even more true that young people are our present. Our youth have so many talents, skills, and abilities that they are sharing with us right now to spread the Good News, to serve God and the people. Our parish is committed to nurturing and growing these gifts. All of us, young and old, are children of God. All of us can teach one another, all of us can learn from one another.

Thank You, Cardinal Hollerich! Holy Child Jesus Parish sends its sincere thanks to Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich of Luxembourg for presiding at Mass and blessing our statue of Our Lady of Luxembourg. We are grateful to the Luxembourg Society of America for their support and appreciate all those who participated in the Mass. We all owe a debt of gratitude to those who came before us, founded the original St. Margaret Mary Parish, and built our beautiful church that now is the home of Holy Child Jesus Parish. St. Margaret Mary had a special devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. She knew, and wants us to know, that the Sacred Heart encompasses everyone, spreading Christ’s infinite love to us all. May we carry her devotion to the Sacred Heart and to each other as we move forward prayerfully and confidently in Holy Child Jesus Parish.

Thank you to all who attended Simbang Gabi. Thank you to all who worked so hard to make the liturgy and reception a great success.

Prepare the way of the Lord! This is the call to everyone at all times. But it takes on a special meaning for us during the Advent season as we anticipate Christmas and the unsurpassable mystery of God being born among us.

Advent is a time of anticipation and hope as we prepare ourselves to celebrate the birth of the Baby Jesus. It is also a time when we reflect on how we can help others, especially those who are less fortunate.
