2 FIFTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME SAINT JAMES CATHOLIC SCHOOL In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.. Then God said, Let us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness.. Genesis 1:1, 26 We welcome all new families to the Hardin County area and offer a quality education where students can grow academically, spiritually, and socially. Please visit us at401 Robinbrooke Blvd., Elizabethtown, KY or online at Today is Scout Sunday. Scouts from Pack 303 are having an All-You-Can-Eat Pancake Breakfast in the Rodney Thomas room following Mass. Donations accepted.

Scouts from Saint James earned their religious awards through the National Catholic Committee on Scouting. They received their awards at the Cathedral from the Archdiocese of Louisville Catholic Committee on Scouting Sunday, January 28th during a Prayer and Award ceremony. Light of Christ- Wyatt Shepherd and Finley Mosher Parvuli Dei- Derick Mosher Good Job and Congratulations Scouts! PARENTING POINTERS From Archdiocese of Louisville Family Ministries Office Feb. 2 was Ground Hog Day. Legend has it that these cute furry critters can predict the weather. Talk with your kids about what kind of weather they like best. If they are old enough, discuss climate change and how we humans can reduce our carbon footprint. SAINT VINCENT de PAUL OUTREACH ALL YOUR DONATIONS ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED. We currently need the following: Peanut Butter, Jelly and Canned Tuna REFLECTION. When we fail to acknowledge as part of reality the worth of a poor person, a human embryo, a person with disabilities to offer just a few examples it becomes difficult to hear the cry of nature itself; everything is connected. Once the human being declares independence from reality, and behaves with absolute dominion, the very foundations of our life begin to crumble, for instead of carrying out his role as a cooperator with God in the work of creation, man sets himself up in place of God and thus ends up provoking a rebellion on the part of nature. St. John Paul II, Centesimus Annus, May 1, 1991 When the human person is considered as simply one being among others, the product of chance or physical determinism, then our overall sense of responsibility wanes. Pope Benedict XVI, Message for the 2010 World Day of Peace PRAYER. Lord, by the loving bestowal of your grace in our hearts, may we better understand the inestimable worth of; first our brothers and sisters, born and unborn, and second the earth; created by the power of Your words to be our dwelling place until the end of time. Thomas E. Cecil - Respect Life Committee Ash Wednesday (February 14) Mass sign-up sheets will be placed in the binder on the podium in the vestibule.
