THE CHURCH OF S AINT I GNATIUS L OYOLA A ROMAN CATHOLIC C OMMUNITY INSPIRED BY THE TRADITION OF ST. IGNATIUS, S T. HEDWIG AND S T. MARY'S ANNUNCIATION PARISHES. e, the blended Catholic community of St. Ignatius Loyola, draw strength from Word and Sacrament, W especially in the celebration of the Eucharist. Modeling Christ s work, we embrace our commitment to God s call. We remain faithful to the shared acts of prayer, study and service. Together we extend Christ s hospitality to others and light the path of peace for generations to come. Knowing God is more important than knowing about God. Karl Rahner, S.J.

T H E S U N D A Y L I G H T Page 2 OFFERTORY ENVELOPE NOTICE: Due to recent vandalism, we are asking parishioners to no longer place offertory envelopes in the mailbox in front of the rectory. Please deliver envelopes by hand, mail, or in church. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you, as always, for your continued support of our parish community. Don t forget to check our grocery rebate program. Details can be found in the vestibule of the church. Your support is deeply appreciated. W O R D L E A R N I N G A B O U T O U R F A I T H RELIGIOUS EDUCATION Coffee/tea is Brewing in Bergan Hall. After you drop your children off for religious education class stop in, have a cup or take one to go! Sundays, January 17th and 24th - Grade 4 Altar Server training will be held in the Church beginning at 9:30 AM. We invite our Grade 4 Catholic school students to join with the students in religious education class for the classes. For further information, contact Father Alex at 570-288- 6446 or Carmella Faust at 570-287-3682. Saturday, January 23rd - As part of the First Communion curriculum, the class will view the movie, The Miracle Maker, on Saturday, January 23rd in Conlan Hall from 10:00 AM - Noon. Parents will be contacted. All members of the class are expected to attend. Sunday, January 24th - Grade 8 Confirmation class meeting: 6:30-7:30 PM in Conlan Hall. This meeting is one of the requirements for Confirmation. All members of the class are expected to attend. Sunday, January 31st - Grade 3 family morning/class Mass. All grade 3 students, both public and private school, and their families are strongly encouraged to attend. The morning will begin at 9:15 AM in Conlan Hall with a light continental breakfast and family activity followed by the Class Mass at 10:30 AM In recognition of our need to give, and the many needs of our church and parish, and in gratitude for God s gifts to us, we declare our willingness to return a portion of our Treasure to our parish, as part of our total Christian stewardship. Sunday Tithe $13,898.00 Additional Christmas $1,116.00 Total $15,041.00 This Week s Expenses $2,696.81 THE MORE YOU KNOW UNDERSTANDING OUR CATHOLIC FAITH This year at St. Ignatius Loyola we are renewing our focus on learning about our Catholic tradition. In addition to our regular Bible study sessions, we are adding two different monthly opportunities: The first Wednesday of each month (next session February 3rd) from 7-8 PM Father Alex and a variety of speakers from our parish and the area will give 30 minute talks on some aspect of our faith, followed by a brief discussion. The second Wednesday of each month (next session February 10th) from 7-8 PM we will be watching installments of Fr. Robert Barron's 10-part Catholicism series. This DVD series is a recent critically-acclaimed look at the faith we hold as Roman Catholics. None of these talks are cumulative, so you can attend every month or only when it interests you. Keep watching for details on the topics we will cover and please consider spending some time exploring the faith with us this year. W E E K L Y M E D I T A T I O N And so his public ministry begins. How awed the disciples had to be at this first revelation of Jesus divinity. John uses the changing of the water into wine as a sign which reveals the power and glory of God working through Jesus. May we, like the servers at the wedding feast, follow Mary s instruction to Do whatever He tells us, so that we may also undergo a transformation from earthly desires to a new life in Christ. We should have faith and trust and believe that miracles can happen in our lives also. Don t forget! Food Collection each and every weekend at the vestibules of Church and Chapel.
