And what sort of year will it be? To judge by the words of Jesus in today s Gospel, it will be a year acceptable to the Lord. And Jesus surely didn t mean only the next three hundred sixty ive days facing his listeners at that time. When Jesus announced the arrival of God s favor, it was a message for all time, for every year. Similarly, we read today in Nehemiah how the people gathered with solemnity to hear God s word as though for the irst time. They listened, and then fell to the ground and wept. But the prophet said, Today is holy... do not be sad, and do not weep. The year acceptable to the Lord is this year. The day that is holy is this day. The time to listen is now. What sort of year will you have? What sort of day? God s help is always here. What you do with each day can be holy and acceptable to the Lord if you but listen to and act on God s word. Copyright J.

Why Catholic Why Catholic is coming to Our Lady of Angels for six weeks, the week of March 3rd. It is our Lenten program and we encourage all to come and see what it is about. The format is a small group setting whereby scripture is read, shared and applied to our daily lives. Hence, our faith becomes stronger and our actions show we are evangelical people who love and are for one another. Why Catholic uses the Catechism as its base. Flyers throughout the church explain the program. Sign up is the weekend of February 10th and 17th in the main vestibule after mass, or call the rectory - 718-836-7200. Looking forward to being with you. Amen! Holy Angels Catholic Academy Dear Parishioner Families, Our communi es and world need leaders with a founda on in their faith and strong moral values. That s the goal of catholic educa on at Holy Angels Catholic Academy, where students find a nurturing, yet rigorous learning environment based in Christ s teachings. At the Academy, each child grows in meaningful ways, learning they are part of something much greater than themselves and feeling empowered to reach for their highest poten al. When our students go on to high school, they not only succeed academically, they also are viewed as compassionate, intellectually strong, faith-filled leaders. We recognize the cost of a Catholic educa on may be a barrier to realizing all these benefits. Our parishes are commi ed to working with each interested family to provide need-based scholarship support to make the Academy s tui on possible. Expand your knowledge of Holy Angels Catholic Academy by taking a tour and seeing what we offer. You will meet our dedicated faculty and familiarize yourself with the challenging academic programs and learning opportuni es available. To arrange a personal tour, please contact Principal Rosemarie McGoldrick at 718-238-5045. More informa on about the Holy Angels Catholic Academy experience can be found at holyangelsbayridge.org. We look forward to welcoming you to our campus. Sincerely yours in Christ, Rev. Msgr. Kevin B. Noone Pastor Our Lady of Angles Parish Rev. Gregory A. Stankus Pastor St. Andrew the Apostle Parish
