In a diverse and changing world we struggle to grow in our relationship with God and with one another. Through our worship, our ministries and our promotion of peace and justice, we walk with Jesus of the Gospel who reveals God’s love for all. Scripture Reflection 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? We are grateful this week for all stewards in our parish who set time aside with the Sunday Readings throughout the week so as to be better prepared to hear the Word of God and act on it. BAPTISM CLASS Parents planning the baptism of their children are reminded that the next baptism class will be Parish Revenue Sharing with Oceanside Christopher Credit Union Earlier this week we received our quarterly revenue sharing check from the Oceanside Christopher Federal Credit Union Parish Revenue Sharing Program. Since this program began, our parish has received a total of $14,116! The amount we receive each quarter is determined by the number of our parishioners who are members of the credit union and their usage of the Oceanside Christopher VISA Credit and/or Debit Card. So, we want to specially thank each of you—your credit card usage benefits our parish and that’s great. For those of you who are not yet members, we encourage you to consider joining and getting a credit card. Your usage of that card will help us. For more information visit www.thecatholiccreditunion.org or call (516) 620-8100. The credit union has branches in Oceanside and Seaford. Wednesday, February 4th, at 7:00 PM in Room 101 of the parish center. St. Vincent de Paul Society Catholic parents are required to attend; godparents are welcome to attend. 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? Application for the child’s baptism must be made personally by calling the parish office to make an appointment before the actual day of the instruction.

February 1, 2015 World Day for Consecrated Life Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ: Pope Francis has declared 2015 as the Year of Consecrated Life in the Universal Church. We give thanks and honor the women and men in consecrated life who have served and are serving here in our great Diocese of Rockville Centre. The life of this local Church has been blessed through the mission and ministry of these dedicated women and men who are responding to God’s call to each of them to follow Jesus as vowed religious. As religious, their commitment to a life of prayer, lived in community and expressed through their ministry in the Church, witnesses to their response to God’s love for them. Their vowed commitment to God and service to the Church is a gift for all of us. As we move through this Year of Consecrated Life I invite each of you to take whatever opportunities are presented to say “thanks” to the religious who are here in our Diocese, to remember them in your prayers and to pray that other generous young people respond to God’s call to join them as religious sisters, brothers and priests. I join my prayers with yours in thanksgiving for their lives of prayer and service and in petition that God will bless each of the religious who are part of our Diocese with gifts of grace, hope and peace as they witness to God’s great love. I ask Mary, Mother of the Church, to continue to inspire each of them as they live a life of “Yes” to God’s call. Faithfully yours in Christ, Bishop of Rockville Centre St. Anthony’s Preschool will be starting registration for our 2, 3, and 4 year old programs for the 2015-2016 school year in January.
