3 PASTOR S MESSAGE 3 Catholic School Week: What is National Catholic Schools Week? National Catholic Schools Week is the annual celebration of Catholic education in the United States. It starts the last Sunday in January and runs all week, which in 2016 is January 31 - February 6. The theme for the National Catholic Schools Week 2016 is Catholic Schools: Communities of Faith, Knowledge and Service. Schools typically observe the annual celebration week with Masses, open houses and other activities for students, families, parishioners and community members. Through these events, schools focus on the value Catholic education provides to young people and its contributions to our church, our communities and our nation. This Wednesday at 9:30 am Bishop John Quinn will celebrate the Mass in our parish to celebrate the importance of Catholic Education in our town. Everyone is invited. The church teaches that Parents are the first educators of their children as a God-given responsibility. They are the first to introduce the faith to their children. Parents exercise this fundamental responsibility with the aid and support of both the Church and civil community. Both have a vested interest and responsibility in education of the young. Parents possess the fundamental right to choose the formative tools that support their convictions and fulfill their duty as the first educators. What is the purpose of a Catholic education? the purpose of catholic education is to model men and women into the image of Christ who came to bring light to those in darkness. By receiving a solid education a person can transmit to others, Christian values such as: justice, honesty, kindness, loyalty and faith. The catholic identity identify a person as a light in the world. More than even today, we need our young people to take the standard of our faith to all parts of our society, that is why our duty is to support a good catholic education and find all the possible means that our faith may be transmitted to our young people intact and without disruption. February 2nd is the Feast of the Presentation of the Child Jesus in the Temple. At that time the old man Simeon spoke of Jesus as being the Light of the Gentiles. From this comes the tradition of blessings candles on this feast day candles (and oil) being the primary source of artificial light before electricity. We will bless candles at the 7-AM Mass, and they will be available for your home use during the next several days. Two candles per family, please; and an offering of $2 per candle will help defray the parish s cost of them. Blessed candles are often burned during storms or other times of danger to remind us that Jesus, the Light of the world, is with us, and that we are protected by his Divine Providence and Love. Saint Blaise, also known as Saint Blase, was a physician, and Bishop of Sebastea in Historical Armenia. According to the Acta Sanctorum, he was martyred by being beaten, attacked with iron combs, and beheaded. He is the patron saint of those who have throat problems. The tradition has it that as the hunters hauled Blaise off to prison, a mother came with her young son who had a fish bone lodged in his throat. At Blaise s command the child was able to cough up the bone. Father Mariano Varela, IVE Enrich your Lenten devotion! Come join our group as we pray daily during lent. Each participant commits to spend some time each day in prayer and then to meet Saturdays to share the past week s grace. The daily prayer meditations are based on daily scripture and the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola. It is an opportunity to pause, reflect, listen and respond to the voice of God as God speaks to your heart.

4 JANUARY 31, PHÚC ÂM: Lc 4, " Chúa Giêsu, như Êlia và Êlisê, không phải chỉ được sai đến với người Do-thái". Tin Mừng Chúa Giêsu Kitô theo Thánh Luca. Khi ấy, Chúa Giêsu bắt đầu nói trong hội đường rằng: "Hôm nay ứng nghiệm đoạn Kinh Thánh mà tai các ngươi vừa nghe". Mọi người đều làm chứng cho Người và thán phục Người về những lời từ miệng Người thốt ra, và họ nói: "Người này không phải là con ông Giuse sao?" Và Người nói với họ: "Hẳn các ngươi sắp nói cho Ta nghe câu ngạn ngữ này: 'Hỡi thầy thuốc, hãy chữa lấy chính mình!' Điều chúng tôi nghe xảy ra ở Capharnaum, ông hãy làm như vậy tại quê hương ông'". Người nói tiếp: "Quả thật, Ta bảo các ngươi, không một tiên tri nào được đón tiếp tại quê hương mình. Ta bảo thật với các ngươi, đã có nhiều bà goá trong Israel thời Elia, khi trời bị đóng lại trong ba năm sáu tháng, khi nạn đói lớn xảy ra khắp trong xứ; dầu vậy, Elia không được sai đến cùng một nguời nào trong các bà đó, nhưng được sai đến bà goá tại Sarepta thuộc xứ Siđon. Cũng có nhiều người phong cùi trong Israel thời tiên tri Elisêô, thế mà không người nào trong họ được lành sạch cả, ngoại trừ Naaman, người Syria". Khi nghe đến đó, mọi người trong hội đường đều đầy căm phẫn, họ chỗi dậy và trục xuất Người ra khỏi thành. Họ dẫn Người lên triền núi, nơi xây cất thành trì của họ, để xô Người xuống vực thẳm. Nhưng Người rẽ qua giữa họ mà đi. Đó là lời Chúa.. A Get Together Those who have lost a spouse through death or divorce are once again invited to a Valentine s potluck. There will be prayers, inspired readings, a blessing, good food, and a door prize. Come join Susan, Judy and Father Mariano. Let the Lord minister to you and bring you peace, joy and love.

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd ST. PAUL Based on the firm foundation of love and listening established in the 3-6 atrium experience, the 6-9 child is introduced to key moral parables and maxims in the teaching of Jesus that show us how those who love and listen to God are invited to live. The moral life is presented as a joy-filled path leading to ever more abundant life. It is the natural overflow of a right and loving relationship with God the fruit of life in the True Vine.

7 4º DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO 31 DE ENERO 2016 Doctrina Semanal Miércoles 3 de Febrero, el horario es el siguiente: 5:15 pm Cena (es opcional) en el Jesuit Hall 6:00 pm Clase en las distintas aulas. Pre-K Aula # 305 Grados 1-8 En la escuela del frente 7:15 pm Toda la comunidad se reúne en el interior de la Iglesia para la oración final. Misa en latín EL GRAN HIMNO AL AMOR Cabe dudar que, cuando san Pablo se sentó a escribir lo que ahora conocemos como el capítulo trece de la primera carta a los corintios, supiera que lo que estaba escribiendo se convertiría en una clave principal de la ética cristiana. En este breve pasaje, ha consignado ideales sobre el amor que se han mantenido firmes en el transcurso de los siglos. A veces pensamos que porque estos son sólo ideales a los que uno aspira, estamos libres de no practicarlos en nuestra vida diaria. Lo que Pablo estaba escribiendo era una carta a sus amigos, dándoles buenos consejos sobre lo que significaba y todavía significa vivir en el amor, día a día, en seguimiento de Cristo. Encontramos en las palabras a sus amigos una ampliación del gran mandamiento de Jesús de amar a Dios y al prójimo. Hoy en día escuchamos cómo este amor debe expresarse en nuestras acciones, y cómo debe regir nuestras relaciones con los demás. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.
