CHURCH OVERSEAS COLLECTION:
Last weekend, parishes throughout the Diocese of Youngstown
joined with Catholics across the country in the Church Overseas
Combined Collection in order to assist the Church in its
ministries throughout the world. This combined collection
supports four major overseas services: Catholic Relief Services
(CRS), Holy Father/Peter’s Pence, the Church in Latin
America and the Church in Central and Eastern Europe.
CRS and other agencies request special funds when natural
disasters occur. This collection supports these Church agencies in
their on-going work in long-term development, education,
leadership training and other social and pastoral ministries.
Thank you for your wonderful commitment to the work of the
Church around the world. Thank you for your generosity in this
annual collection for mission and ministry across the globe. If
you have yet to make your contribution, you may do so next
weekend by using your Church Overseas Collection envelope.
Again, thank you.
FEBRUARY 8
FIFTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY
TIME
FIRST READING: Job 7:1-4, 6-7
I am filled with relentlessness until the dawn.
STEWARDSHIP THOUGHT:
SECOND READING: 1 Corinthians 9:16-19, 22-23
Woe to me if I do not preach the Gospel.
Our Gospel today provides an acknowledgement of the teaching
authority of Christ. As stewards of our faith, do we adhere to that
authority; conforming our lives to follow Christ, or do we seek to
twist the teachings of the Church to meet our wants and desires.
Faithful stewardship requires faithfully living the teachings of
Jesus Christ, in word and deed.
GOSPEL READING: Mark 1:29-39
Jesus cured many who were sick with various diseases.

ST. PAUL THE APOSTLE CATHOLIC CHURCH
NEW MIDDLETOWN, OH
THE SACRAMENT OF CONFIRMATION WILL
BE CELEBRATED HERE IN OUR PARISH ON
FEBRUARY 23, 2015, 7PM.
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
“I should like you to be free of anxieties.” As St.
Paul speaks to the Corinthians, he is trying to put
them at ease and to help them understand that by
depending on Jesus Christ, they can make it
through whatever comes along. What do we worry
about; family, job, finances, weather, health? It
can be easy to be anxious about so much going on
in our lives. Keep in mind that the anxiety, over
time, can make us ill and kill us. That is why St.
Paul wants us, no matter what state we live in, to
always depend on Him to help us through
whatever we are dealing with. Let us put all our
cares in the hands of Christ. In doing so, we will
be able to find peace and to make it through
whatever challenges come our way.

As was offered during last week’s homily, our
parish is embarking on a new program to begin our
evangelization efforts. This past Sunday our
Evangelization Committee presented the ALPHA
program to 25 to 30 parishioners to gage their level
of interest. The interest is high and we will be
moving forward with the great program. It is our
hope that over time, all of our community will
become immersed in this first step of evangelizing
our parish and we will deepen our relationships
with Christ. From there we hope to reach out to
those beyond our parish. You will be hearing
further updates as we move forward.

Paul speaks of how the unmarried man or woman is able to focus his
or her total attention on the things of the Lord, while the married
man or woman rightly focuses on the family in the name of the Lord.
If you are single, or know someone who is single, could it be because
the Lord wants you or the person you know to consider a calling to
the priesthood or religious life? If so, contact Fr. Christopher Luoni
at (330) 744-8451, or email: [email protected].
