-Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time– February 1, 2015 Dear parishioners, At this point we have been in Port-auPrince, Haiti for a couple of days. We spent a day at a baby hospital run by the Missionaries of Charity (Mother Theresa's sisters). They are so filled with joy. There is a true love they embody. You cannot help but feel drawn to them and to help them. The babies in this hospital were all very ill from serious malnutrition. The babies often stay for a long time, it is the only way they can get strong again. Remnants of cathedral after 2010 earthquake Even though the babies often had fevers or pneumonia they all still just wanted to be held and loved. Many of the parents come each day for a few hours to be with their kids. But some parents can't come, and so we were there to just to love those kids. It was amazing, even in these babies, their resiliency to laugh and feel secure and at be at peace when someone picked them up and held them. This whole experience is teaching me that when Jesus said "love your neighbor as yourself" he really meant it. When my neighbor needs help just to survive, I must be with them. Last night a local priest, Fr. Pierre, (Fr. Peter!) stopped by the place we are staying, the "Matthew 25 house" and shared with us a few stories about the people and Haiti. Five years ago he was on his way to a meeting with the Archbishop when the earthquake hit. The Archbishop perished in the earthquake. It is amazing the hear of such things, so terrible, and yet there is a very deep faith. In the aftermath, Fr. Pierre did the best he could help. The local parish that we attended Mass at yesterday actually came into existence the day after the earthquake. Fr. Pierre went into this neighborhood telling the people he would have Mass in a field nearby. The people came, and a parish was born from the rubble. They still have Mass outside. Someday they will build a church, but it has not hindered their faith not having one. I love one thing Fr. Pierre said, "as Catholics, what we all need, is to love our brothers and sisters were ever they may be, if we do this we can overcome anything." It astounds me at how joyful and hopeful the people are despite lacking the things I (we) take for granted. Today we will travel four hours southwest to an orphanage near a tiny town called Duverger. Many blessings, Fr.

A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Mark 1:29-39 On leaving the synagogue Jesus entered the house of Simon and Andrew with James and John. Simon’s mother-in-law lay sick with a fever. They immediately told him about her. He approached, grasped her hand, and helped her up. Then the fever left her and she waited on them. When it was evening, after sunset, they brought to him all who were ill or possessed by demons. The whole town was gathered at the door. He cured many who were sick with various diseases, and he drove out many demons, not permitting them to speak because they knew him. Rising very early before dawn, he left and went off to a deserted place, where he prayed. Simon and those who were with him pursued him and on finding him said, “Everyone is looking for you.” He told them, “Let us go on to the nearby villages that I may preach there also. For this purpose have I come.” So he went into their synagogues, preaching and driving out demons throughout the whole of Galilee.

IRS Tax Refund Fraud Update As tax season is upon us, it is important to be aware of recent developments in the tax fraud investigation. An updated document titled “IRS Tax Fraud Leadership Update” has been posted at the Archdiocese website:www.seattlearchdiocese.org According to the IRS the best way to protect yourself from tax fraud for 2014 return is to file as early as possible. This will help minimize the likelihood that a criminal can file a false return in your identity. Filing an extension early will not have the same effect; the return must be filed.
