Next Food Pantry: February 7th 9:30AM-11AM
In the Gospel today we read that because Jesus spoke
with authority his reputation spread throughout the
surrounding region of Galilee. As his disciples, we can
also speak with authority when we put our faith into
actions by helping the poor and suffering.
Have you considered answering the call to serve the
poor by joining the Society of St. Vincent de Paul?
Please contact us through the Outreach Office.
In honor of the
Feast of St. Blaise,
Tuesday, February 3rd,
blessing of throats
will take place at the
8:00AM Mass.
Friday, February 6th
8:30AM - 10:00PM
Parish Center Chapel
Spend time in silent prayer
before the
Blessed Sacrament.
During the Lenten season, beginning Ash
Wednesday, February 18th, there will be an
additional weekday Mass, Monday through
Friday, at 12:15PM.
Oh God of mercy, we beg You now to protect in a special way those who are
fighting for us and for the country we love. Bless them and take care of
them. Give them strength. Give them comfort. Touch them with Your
gentle hand and let them know that You are near them. Hasten the day,
dear Lord, when we may all enjoy the blessings of peace once more.
Please pray for members of our U.S. Military serving in Iraq
and Afghanistan, and especiall, our parishioners:
Christopher Blaha, Christopher Fellini, Brian Knudsen,
Michael Kohan and Sean Penny.
May God bless them, protect them and
bring them home safe!
Next Saturday at the 5PM Mass we will recognize
our 4th grade students and their Catechists
(Joyce Chaisson, Telia Malwitz and Linda
Rovegno). This week during class our 4th grade
students will prepare their class banner followed
by pizza and dessert in anticipated celebration of
their special Mass. As always, we expect all 4th
grade students and their families to be present
at this Mass. Those who wish to be greeters at
the doors of the church should arrive at 4:45PM.
Please plan to join us and show our young people
your support.
Attendance at Mass is not only a Commandment
but also a necessity for Faith Formation. One
hour of Religious Education a week is simply NOT
ENOUGH to keep the light of Christ burning
within our children. Attending the 5PM Family
Mass is another way to gain instruction in our
faith. At this Mass the children are called up into
the sanctuary by the priest, just before the first
reading. After a brief prayer/blessing the
children are then dismissed into the sacristy with
a teacher and two assistants. The children listen
to the reading of the day from a children's
lectionary. The readings are then discussed in a
kid-friendly way with active participation which
could include role playing and/or question and
answer. They leave each week happy and with
more knowledge of their faith then they walked
in with. It is a wonderful supplement to the
Religious Education program and it includes
obeying the 3rd Commandment! Why not make
this a New Year's Resolution?? - attending Family
Mass with my children every week??? once a
month?? more often then we do now??? It will
improve your life and the lives of your children.
We hope to see you soon.

BULLETIN REFLECTION
FOURTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
Moses told the people, “A prophet like me will
the Lord, your God, raise up for you from among
your own kinsmen.” God still provides among His
people the gifts and talents necessary to continue
the work of His Church. What gifts are yours to
share?
