3 I hope all of you had a good start to this new 2016 year. This weekend we celebrate the second Sunday in ordinary time, and in the gospel for this Sunday, we see Jesus performing his first public miracle at the wedding in Cana. The preparation has begun for having our Mardi Gras celebration at St. John's Church on February 6. I am looking forward to experience Mardi Gras for the very first time with you. I encourage you to buy the tickets ahead of time as our space is limited. We are on Facebook. Like us on Facebook to get more information about the upcoming events: This year the Lenten season will begin very soon. Ash Wednesday falls on February 10. I cannot believe that I already had a meeting about Lent. It has been decided that during Lent we will have masses offered every day, Monday through Saturday at 8 AM. This will give an opportunity for those of you who would like to attend the daily mass during the season of Lent, to do so at St. John's. Since we will have more masses, you may stop by the office to get mass intentions for your loved ones. This February 11 marks the one year anniversary of Father Peter's death. We will have a memorial mass on that day at 7 PM. Priests and parishioners from other parishes where father Peter served will attend the mass as well. I invite you to join me in this celebration. Let's continue to keep each other in prayer! Fr. Karol ****************************************************************************** Join us as we journey deep into who we are as Catholics. We will use the award winning multimedia Catholicism Series produced by Father Robert Barron. This study series travels around the world and back in time to show us the truth about Catholicism. If you are a stranger to Catholicism or have been a Catholic your entire life join us as we capture the beauty and logic found in our treasure of Catholicism. Only 4 Sessions Left Tuesday Evenings at 7 PM in the Social Hall January 19, January 26, February 2 & February 9

4 PALMS Saint John parishioners are invited to bring last years Blessed palm fronds to church and deposit them in the vestibule beginning this weekend they will be burned after 10 am Mass on Sunday, February 7th. Parishioners are welcome to attend the Rite of Burning of Palms ceremony. A portion of the burned palm ashes will be added to those distributed on Ash Wednesday. The distribution of ashes mark the beginning of the season of Lent and remind us of our mortality: Remember, man, that thou art dust and unto dust thou shalt return. Members of the Art & Environment group think the collecting and burning of the palm illustrates the origin and symbolism of the ashes used on Ash Wednesday, February 10, CONGRATULATIONS TO THE DECEMBER 50/50 WINNERS: Mr. & Mrs. Joe Torres Catherine Branch Denise Czuprynski Each of the three lucky winners will receive a check for $ Remember to put $5.00 in your green 50/50 envelopes.

While we have evidence of priests blessing marriages as early as the second century, in the early period church leaders relied on civil authorities to manage marriage for everyone in society. In most cases, society yielded its authority to sanction marriage to the male heads of households. From ancient times, marriage had been a family affair, managed by the father of the family, who acted as priest and guardian of family tradition. Each head wanted to keep the family gods alive, and so he would arrange for brides for his sons, paying a bride price as compensation for the loss of a skilled household worker. As creepy as that sounds, it was a step up from the kidnapping practice of earlier years. Even after the kidnapping raids stopped, the customs remained. Every wedding contained the ritualized kidnapping of the bride, the husband abducting his bride from the festivities, carrying her over the threshold to prevent her father s gods from following her into her new religion. There, he fed her a piece of sacred cake, initiating her into a new way of life. It s fascinating to see how customs endure, long after we have completely rejected the values and attitudes they originally expressed! Rev. James Field, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.
