Catholic Schools Week, Jan. 25th - Jan. 31st, 2015 The theme for the National Catholic Schools Week 2015 is “Catholic Schools: Communities of Faith, Knowledge and Service.” The annual observance starts today, Sunday, January 25th, and runs all week, until January 31st. St. Matthew Catholic School typically celebrates Catholic Schools Week with Masses, Open House and other activities for students, families, parishioners, and the community at large. We invite everyone to visit our Open House on Sunday, January 25th, immediately following the 10:45am Mass. The 2015 theme was developed in response to member requests for a theme and logo that would last more than a year, the new theme will be used for at least three years. This will provide opportunities for schools to brand the week and their ongoing marketing activities with repeated mentions and use of a consistent logo. (Continued on page 2) St. Matthew Catholic Church 2 January 25, 2015 ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Catholic Schools Week, Jan. 25 - 31, 2015 (cont’d) The theme encompasses several concepts that are at the heart of a Catholic education. First, schools are communities—small families in their own right, but also members of the larger community of home, church, city and nation. Faith, knowledge and service are three measures by which any Catholic school can and should be judged. The new logo features a swirl of colors interacting around a cross, which is at the center of all Catholic education. The vibrancy of the colors and the movement and shadows in the logo portray the innerconnectivity and community life that are present in our Catholic schools. As we embark on this week of celebration we will acknowledge and appreciate our wonderful faculty, staff, students, parents and clergy. A special mention to our 8th grade students who, in the next few months, are reaching the conclusion of their academic lives at St. Matthew School. Over the past nine years I have been witness to these students displaying their strengths and abilities in many different venues, I have been thoroughly impressed. They are a remarkable class. May God bless them in their last Catholic Schools Week at St Matthew’s and in their future endeavors. Blessings, Ann Connelly Admissions Director ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ St. Matthew 11th Annual Crab Bash Featuring: All you can eat Crab, Bread, Salad, Pasta & Dessert Date: Saturday, January 31, 2015 TIME: 6pm-11pm—No Host Bar 7pm-9pm Crab Dinner 9pm-11pm Dancing Place: St. Matthew Auditorium $55 Per Person Año de la Vida Consagrada «Las personas consagradas son signo de Dios en los diversos ambientes de vida, son levadura para el crecimiento de una sociedad más justa y fraterna, son profecía del compartir con los pequeños y los pobres. La vida consagrada, así entendida y vivida, se presenta a nosotros como realmente es: un don de Dios, un don de Dios a la Iglesia, un don de Dios a su pueblo. Cada persona consagrada es un don para el pueblo de Dios en camino». (Papa Francisco) «La vida consagrada está en el corazón mismo de la Iglesia como elemento decisivo para su misión, ya que “indica la naturaleza íntima de la vocación cristiana” y la aspiración de toda la Iglesia Esposa hacia la unión con el único Esposo». (Vita Consecrata 3) Oración para el Año de la Vida Consagrada Oh Dios, tú que a través de los tiempos has llamado a mujeres y hombres a fin de que vivan la caridad perfecta por medio de los consejos evangélicos de la pobreza, la castidad y la obediencia. Durante este Año de la Vida Consagrada te damos gracias por estos valientes testigos de la fe, que son también modelos de inspiración. Con su empeño por lograr la santidad ellos nos enseñan a ofrecerte nuestra vida de una manera más perfecta. Te pedimos que continúes enriqueciendo a tu Iglesia con hijos e hijas que, habiendo encontrado la perla de gran valor, atesoran el Reino de los cielos por encima de todas las cosas. Por nuestro Señor Jesucristo, tu Hijo, que vive y reina contigo en la unidad del Espíritu Santo y es Dios por los siglos de los siglos, Amén.

During this Year of Consecrated Life, we give you thanks for these courageous witnesses of Faith and models of inspiration. Their pursuit of holy lives teaches us to make a more perfect offer-ing of ourselves to you. Continue to enrich your Church by calling forth sons and daugh-ters who, having found the pearl of great price, treasure the Kingdom of Heaven above all things. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. Year of Consecrated Life In 1997, Pope John Paul II instituted a world day of prayer for women and men in consecrated life. This celebration is attached to the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord on February 2nd but is celebrated in parishes the weekend of February 7-8 to highlight the gifts of consecrated persons to the Church. This Feast is also known as Candlemas Day; the day on which candles are blessed symbolizing Christ who is the light of the world. As a candle brings light into darkness, so too, those in consecrated life are called to reflect the light of Jesus Christ to all peoples. Please pray for all those women and men who have made commitments in the consecrated life, and be sure to thank them on their special day. May they continue to be inspired by Jesus Christ and respond generously to God’s gift of their vocation. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ The Archdiocese of San Francisco Office of Chinese Ministry Cordially invites you to the Chinese New Year Eucharistic Celebration & Ceremonial Tribute to Ancestors on Saturday, February 21, 2015 at 2:30pm The Most Reverend Salvatore J.

(sujeto a cambios) Domingo 25, Martes 27, Jueves 29, Viernes 30, Sábado 31, 8:15 am a 8:45 am en la Iglesia 5:00 pm a 5:30 pm en la capilla 5:00 pm a 5:30 pm en la capilla 5:00 pm a 5:30 pm en la capilla 11:30 am y 4:30 pm en la Iglesia El sacramento de la Penitencia esta constituido por el conjunto de tres actos realizados por el penitente, y por la absolución del sacerdote. Los actos del penitente son: el arrepentimiento, la confesión o manifestación de los pecados al sacerdote y el propósito de realizar la reparación y las obras de penitencia (CIC-1491). La confesión individual e íntegra de los pecados graves seguida de la absolución es un medio ordinario para la reconciliación con Dios y con la Iglesia. (CIC-1497) No existe una sola manera de orar. Así como te relacionas de diferentes maneras con tus amistades, de igual forma te relacionas con Dios. Puedes utilizar diferentes maneras de orar en distintas circunstancias. Lo verdaderamente importante es orar constantemente y de una manera que te sientas contento. Para muchos católicos, las oraciones tradicionales y la Misa dominical son las formas mas familiares de oración. Las oraciones tradicionales de nuestra herencia católica son un buen comienzo, especialmente los momentos tradicionales de oración, tales como la oración de la mañana, la oración de la tarde, y la de acción de gracias antes y después de los alimentos. Del mismo modo, la misa dominical es una forma de oración comunitaria que se encuentra en el mismo corazón de la vida de oración católica. —La oración Católica Loyola Press ✂ Please Cut Out This “Thank You Ad” and Present It The Next Time You Patronize One of Our Advertisers immediatecare.org HomeCare Professionals Are you or a loved one recovering from surgery or an illness?
