Moses is shown (in today’s first reading)as
promising “A prophet like me will the Lord
raise up for you from among your own kin; To
him you shall listen.” Little did he realize how
God would send His divine Son to become one
of us and speak the words of the Eternal God.
This we see fulfilled in today’s Gospel. “The
people were astonished at his teaching, for he
taught them as one having authority…”
And Jesus acted with authority!
THIS weekend after all Masses we will
confer the Blessing of Throats in honor of St.
Blaise.
WE ARE COUNTING ON YOU!!
Many of our parishioners have pledged
funds in our Capital Campaign to contribute in
making some major repairs to preserve our
Church and facilities. We thank all who have
already been contributing to this effort. We are
counting on you to keep your word and fulfill
your pledges.
Our Holy Father, Pope Francis, has asked
for everyone to pray for the success of the
World Meeting of Families in September. You
will find copies of the prayer at all the exits of
church. You are invited to take a copy home.
The Offertory Collection for the weekend
of 1/18 was $5,049; for the weekend of 1/25
the Offertory was $6,298. Thank you for your
support.
If you or someone in your family are in the
hospital and would like to be visited, please call
the Rectory, 764-0325 Ext. 100 or 108.
