How can we thank God enough for you in return for all the joy we have in the presence of our God because of you? 1 Thessalonians 3:9 We are looking for more children to help serve for both liturgies. Serving at the altar, is a privileged way to draw closer to Jesus, which in turn enables you to open yourselves to others, to journey together, to set demanding goals and to find the strength to achieve them. The closer you are to the altar, the more you will remember to speak with Jesus in daily prayer; the more you will be nourished by the word and the body of the Lord, the better able you will be to go out to others, bringing them the gift that you have received, giving in turn with enthusiasm the joy you have received. ~Pope Francis gathering of altar servers in Rome 7 Reasons Why Parents should Encourage Their Child to be an Altar Server Your child will learn the meaning of the different parts of the Divine Liturgy Your child will be more involved in celebrating Divine Liturgy & will get more out of it They will meet new people and make some great friends Your child will learn some valuable life skills (e.g., communication, teamwork, punctuality, self-confidence) They will become more involved in their Church community They will be better prepared to discern their vocation Being an altar server gives them a greater appreciation of the priesthood If interested in serving please call Peter Tataryn at or Andrew Brimble / Christine Kreklewetz at

4 Serving The idea of serving is one that can be uncomfortable to some in today s world, as many believe that it requires us to be subservient to others. Our desire to be leaders makes this a difficult concept. There are times in which our roles of service DO require us to be subservient, but we are more often called to serve in ways that utilize the gifts and strengths given to us by God for the very purpose of sharing them with others. When we look at the idea of serving as an act of love, we can see how serving others is already an everyday part of our lives and that the possibilities of expanding that act are limitless! Many parishioners think the Church wants them to volunteer in as many ministries as possible, spending all their free time in their parishes, giving generously of themselves in every way. As a matter of fact, that s the opposite of what we want you to do! While we want you to be good stewards of your time and talents and give of yourselves to your parish community, we also recognize that your most important ministry is at home with your family.

5 Sunday of Zacchaeus cont d from front cover Our Lenten journey begins with a recognition of our own sinfulness, just as Zacchaeus recognized his. He promised to make restitution by giving half of his wealth to the poor, and by paying to those he had falsely accused four times as much as they had lost. In this, he went beyond the requirements of the Law (Ex. 22:3-12). The example of Zacchaeus teaches us that we should turn away from our sins, and atone for them. The real proof of our sorrow and repentance is not just a verbal apology, but when we correct ourselves and try to make amends for the consequences of our evil actions. We are also assured of God s mercy and compassion by Christ s words to Zacchaeus, Today salvation has come to this house (Luke 19:9). After the Great Doxology at Sunday Matins (when the Tone of the week is Tone 1, 3, 5, 7) we sing the Dismissal Hymn of the Resurrection Today salvation has come to the world, which echoes the Lord s words to Zacchaeus. Zacchaeus was short, so he climbed a tree in order to see the Lord. All of us have sinned and come short of the glory of God (Rom. 3:23). We are also short in our spiritual stature, therefore we must climb the ladder of the virtues. In other words, we must prepare for spiritual effort and growth. The Pastoral Care team consists of Marianne Derkach ( ), Hazel Borodey ( ), and Linda Marak ( ) working under the direction of Father John. Do you know of someone who would appreciate a home visit, a hospital visit or, really, anyway in which we can serve in outreach to our parishioners? Please share this information with us by either getting in touch with us individually or calling the office. February Perogy Supper Volunteers Needed!
