From the Desk of Monsignor JarboeDear Friends,
Having concluded this week a wonderful celebration of the blessings of Catholic
education with Catholic Schools Week, our attention now “pivots” toward two other
annual undertakings --- the Archbishop’s Annual Appeal and the liturgical/spiritual
season of Lent.
For the next two weekends, all of us will be encouraged to offer a special gift of our
treasure in support of ministries that touch the lives of thousands and thousands of
people throughout our Archdiocese. With our generous support, the Annual Appeal
helps sustain 25 important ministries of our archdiocese – enriching parish life,
evangelizing young people, strengthening families, and providing critical assistance
in community outreach. What’s not to like about helping things like that!
Then, on February 18, the great 40-day Lenten season of spiritual renewal kicks off
with Ash Wednesday. And, to help us make the most of this annual time for “turning
away from sin and being faithful to the gospel”, we will be offering a terrific 3-day
Parish Mission (including a special Family Nite) and will be forming another series
of small faith groups that will help us experience and deepen our growth and development in the spiritual life (over 70 people participated in our last small-groups series and several of the groups continue to gather together in prayerful, mutual support). We are really excited about these offerings – so “stay tuned” as more information will soon be coming your way!
Come to think about it, these two initiatives are not really “separate” or “unrelated”
happenings at all. In fact, the focus of this year’s Appeal – “Go Make Disciples” – is
exactly what our Lenten prayer, fasting and almsgiving are designed to foster and
cultivate! Faith in, and living in relationship with, Jesus naturally expresses itself in
hearts and spirits that welcome opportunities to share blessings that bring more/
new blessing into the lives of others!
Have a great week!
Msgr. Jarboe

Next Weekend at parishes across the Archdiocease of Baltimore, parishioners
will be asked to pledge support to the 2015 Archbishop’s Annual Appeal, “Go
Make Disciples”. Ministries supported by the Appeal include the Office of Religious Education, which provides oversight and assistance to our Religious Education program, and Catholic Charities, where almost one quarter of all funds collected are used to support programs like My Sisters Place, Our Daily Bread Employment Center as well as the Food Bank of Western Maryland. In advance of next
weekend, please prayerfully consider how you will support the 2015 Archbishop’s
Annual Appeal. Making a pledge, which can be paid in monthly installments
through December 31, 2015, is a powerful way to maximize your contribution. For
more information on the 2015 Archbishop’s Annual Appeal or to pledge online,
please visit www.archbalt.org/appeal. Thank you for your prayers and support as
we all help further Archbishop Lori’s mission as we become missionary disciples.

Children’s Liturgy of the Word (CLOW)
A Growing Ministry Needs More Ministers!
WHAT:
WHO:
WHEN:
NEEDS:
HOW:
A child-friendly me of prayer for kids to hear Sunday’s readings from God’s Word at their age level.
Children from age 4-Grade 5.
Sundays, 9:00am Mass during the Liturgy of the Word-a.er Opening Prayer, children are prayerfully dismissed to gather together in the Chapel with the help of several adult leaders. Children return to the
church with their families for the Liturgy of the Eucharist.
For each Mass:
♦ 1 adult leader to read the Gospel and explain the lesson in a way that the children will find easy
to understand
♦ 2 parent helpers (1 to keep an eye on the kids and help them stay a7enve, 1 to keep an eye on
the clock to help keep me for the leader)
You do not need to be a teacher, a theologian, or an entertainer to enjoy this valuable ministry. Lots of
helpful material (including an outline, training, and resource material) is available for leaders—-and plenty
of opportunies to start as a helper and grow into the leader posion. If you are interested in parcipang, please contact Lisa Noel at lisansco#[email protected].
