3 INVITATION TO A CONFERENCE FOR SPIRITUAL RENEWAL: The Community of God's Love, a Catholic, Charismatic Community in Steubenville, cordially invites all parishioners to its seventh annual Miniconference on Saturday, January 31, 2015, at Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Oratory, 700 Lovers Lane, Steubenville. The subject of the conference is the question, "How Can I Love Completely?" Fr. Boniface Hicks, OSB, will address this question in two talks, reflecting on the two parts of the Great Commandment: love of God and love of neighbor. Father Boniface is a Benedictine monk of St.Vincent's Archabbey in LaTrobe, PA. He is a programming manager and host for "We Are One Body" (WAOB) Catholic Radio and an excellent, inspiring speaker who is able to move his listeners to internalize the Gospel message in their own lives. The day will begin at 8:30 AM with Holy Mass, celebrated by Bishop Monforton, and conclude by 2:00 PM. Along with Holy Mass and the talks will be times of prayer and praise, personal testimonies about God's blessings and individual prayer ministry. There is no registration required for the Mini-conference and there is no fee for attendance. However, a free-will offering will be taken up to help defray the cost of the conference.

Check out our website for Information on our Religious Education in the City of Steubenville: GIVE TO THE LORD.YOU FAMILIES OF NATIONS Psalm 96 The Image of the Holy Family, along with their donkey lying in a big heap, depicts complete exhaustion on their Flight to Egypt, struggling against great obstacles in an effort to protect their family, foster family life and preserve their family faith. The future of the world and of the Church passes through the family. - St. John Paul II Not only will I say that the family is important for the evangelization of the new world, but that the family is important is necessary, for the survival of humanity. If there is no family, the cultural survival of humanity is at risk. Like it or not the family is at the base - Pope Francis Interview on Radio Cathedral July 30, 2013 THE FAMILY a Sanctuary of Life and Love: Is a central agent in evangelization, for it is here that children first learn of God, are brought to the sacraments, and are taught the values and virtues of the Catholic faith. Is the center of the parish and the community and the larger cultures as they live out their faith as public witnesses called to give reason for their hope in Christ (1 Peter3:15) Is a powerful witness to the beauty and necessity of God s grace as they live out the Catholic faith with peace, patience and joy, even amid earthy struggles like the Holy Family BE NOT AFRAID FAMILY HOURS are much more then just a holy hour. Each Family Hour DVD beautifully combines devotion and catechism. While you are praying you are learning more about the Catechism and other spiritual topics along with hearing inspirational messages from St. John Paul II, Blessed Teresa of Calcutta, Francis Cardinal Arinze and other great spiritual teachers. The Church we pass on to the next generation will depend greatly on how well we address the challenges of our faith and the FAMILY today.

6 In Loving Memory of those who have Died Connie Robinson By Dr. & Mrs. William Grant and Helen V. Morris Lottie Grajewski By Mark & Patty Reed CONDOLENCES (CCC 1405) There is no surer pledge or clearer sign of this great hope in the new heavens and new earth in which righteousness dwells, than the Eucharist. Every time this mystery is celebrated, the work of our redemption is carried on and we break the one bread that provides the medicine of immortality, the antidote for death, and the food that makes us live forever in Jesus Christ. With this great hope we pray for our sisters who have died: Rita Virginia Marciniak, 90, December 16 Constance K. Robinson, 90, December 23 Mary Petrella, 81, December 26 May they enjoy the eternal banquet the Lord has prepared for them.
