I cannot believe that we are in the month of February! Where did January go? Lent begins this week - Ash Wednesday - February 10. Masses and February 7, 2016 services are listed in the bulletin, and at all services ashes will be distributed. Ash Wednesday is a day of fast and abstinence. That means no meat for those over 14yrs of age, and all 18 and over are obliged to fast. Those 60 and over are no longer obliged to fast. I ask that you read the bulletin for more information. Remember that our Cluster Mission begins next weekend with Fr. Wade Menezes who will be preaching at all Masses. The Mission runs from Sunday, February 14, to Thursday, February 18, beginning at 7:00 p.m. every night. Please take time to clear your schedule so you can attend and begin your Lent with the right frame of mind. I also want to thank all for participating in the Archbishop Annual Appeal last weekend. We will have a follow up this weekend for those who did not have a chance to participate. No matter how small the gift, we just want participation. It makes a difference.

The Catholic Faith is not about myths or legends, symbols or literary devices. It s about an encounter so overwhelming that you want to tell the whole world. IT S AN ENCOUNTER WITH JESUS CHRIST. Throughout history, the call of Christ has sent people to the corners of the earth with a message of great joy a message that has built civilizations, inspired cultures, and even sent some believers to prison and others to their graves. We have the same call. That s evangelization. CATHOLICISM: The New Evangelization explores the Church s mission within the challenges of contemporary culture. Created by Bishop Robert Barron, the documentary and study program focus on the cultural obstacles the Church faces today, such as the emergence of the new atheism and relativistic attitudes toward questions of faith and morality. Explore these topics and more through the CATHOLICISM: The New Evangelization Study Program. DATES, TIMES & LOCATION COST / REGISTRATION CONTACT Join Fr. Langan for this DVD series beginning on Tuesday, February 23rd and continuing weekly until April 26th. The sessions will be held at 7:00pm in the Parish Hall. A $20 donation would be appreciated to help defray the cost of the study guide. Please pre-register so we can have a study guide for you. For more information and to register please contact the Parish Office at 410-256-1630.

Ash Wednesday February 10th Ash Wednesday Masses/Services are: 7:00 a.m. (Mass) 8:15 a.m. (School Mass) 10:30 a.m. (Mass) 12:00 p.m. (Service) 4:00 p.m. (Service) 7:00 pm. (Mass) Did you know that Ash Wednesday is THIS Wednesday? Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent. It is a season of prayer, almsgiving, and fasting which prepares us for Christ's Resurrection on Easter Sunday. On Ash Wednesday ashes are placed on the foreheads of the faithful to remind them of death, of the sorrow they should feel for their sins, and of the necessity of changing their lives. Our foreheads are marked with ashes to humble our hearts and remind us that life passes away on Earth. The priest or minister, dipping his thumb into ashes previously blessed, marks the forehead of each with the signof-the-cross, saying the words: "Turn away from sin and be faithful to the Gospel." The ashes are made from the blessed palms used in the Palm Sunday celebration of the previous year. The ashes are blessed with Holy Water. While the ashes symbolize penance and contrition, they are also a reminder that God is gracious and merciful to those who call on Him with repentant hearts. His divine mercy is of utmost importance during the season of Lent, and the Church calls on us to seek that mercy during the entire Lenten season with reflection, prayer, and almsgiving, and fasting. Lent February 10th - March 24th Lent is a time of intense Christian living, a journey guided by the scriptures of the Church, an adventure marked by special observances that lead us to discover sin and grace, self and Christ, death and life. Week by week, we travel together the charted course of the Church. Even day-by-day, the prayer of the Church can form us. It is a time of purification and illumination. One does not happen without the other: Lent/Easter, cross/resurrection, death/life. We are called to know Christ, understand the gospel and live its truth. Lent has a movement, a velocity and a dynamic that is found at no other time. This is to reshape us as a church, opening us to accept a new spirit and new people into our common life in faith.

Days of Fast & Abstinence Ash Wednesday and Good Friday (only one full meal in the day and no meat) All Fridays in Lent are Days of Abstinence (No meat) Lenten Regulations begin with Ash Wednesday, February 10th and end with Holy Thursday, March 25th. All Catholics 18 years of age and older are bound by the law to fast on Ash Wednesday in addition to Good Friday. With the age of 60 (or if one is sick), one is no longer obligated to fast. All Catholics, 14 years of age and older, are bound by the Laws of Abstinence. Christ fasted for forty days and nights to prepare Himself for the time that He would come face to face with Satan because He knew He would need His Father's strength. To fast is to do without food. Its purpose is to experience the effects of not eating. It also serves to be a penance or a sacrifice - for the purpose of strengthening us. When we don't eat, for even a little while, we get hungry. When we get hungry, we have a heightened sense of awareness. When we fast, we have a feeling of alertness. It is purifying and prepares us to pray more deeply. You may think you don't need to fast, but after you have fasted and felt the closeness of God and His strength in you, then you will you see how weak and how far away from God you really are. Fasting is a tool that God has given us to use to become spiritually stronger so that we can go on our spiritual journey with strength and power from God. When you fast, you will find yourself being humbled. As He leads you to recognize and repent, you will experience special blessings from God. When you fast you will empty yourself, opening yourself up to accept God more honestly. A renewed closeness with God and a greater sensitivity to spiritual things are usually the results of a fast. Current Canon Law requires that on the days of fasting, Catholics may eat only one full meal during the day. Additionally, they may eat up to two small meals or snacks. Church requirements on fasting only relate to solid food, not to drink, so any amount of water or other beverages may be consumed. The current regulations concerning Lenten fasting and abstinence for Roman Catholics in the United States generally are as follows. Abstinence from all meat is to be observed by all Roman Catholics 14 years old and older on Ash Wednesday, all Fridays in Lent, and Good Friday. Fasting is to be observed on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday by all Roman Catholics who are 18 years of age but not yet 60. For Roman Catholics whose health or ability to work would be negatively affected by fasting and/or abstinence, the regulations above don't apply.

John 21:15 When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you truly love me more than these?" "Yes, Lord," he said, "you know that I love you." Jesus said, "Feed my lambs." Feed My Lambs Through this Lenten season we are collecting food for charity. The food will go to our Loaves & Fishes Pantry, St. Rita Church and St. Clement Church.

THE ARCHBISHOP S ANNUAL APPEAL A LIGHT BRIGHTLY VISIBLE Through your support of the 2016 Archbishop s Annual Appeal, our parish community follows Pope Francis encouragement to become missionary disciples as we support the ministries that bring to life the Gospel message across the Archdiocese of Baltimore. Through the Archbishop s Annual Appeal, St. Joseph receives support and assistance through offices such as the Office of Evangelization, which supports our Youth Ministry program, and the Respect Life Office, which promotes the dignity of all life. If you have yet to make a pledge to the 2016 Archbishop s Annual Appeal, please complete a pledge form available in the back of the Church or visit www.archbalt.org/appeal. Thank you for your prayers and support. Do you like to meet people and say hello with a friendly smile? If your answer is Yes then sign-up for the Greeter Ministry. On the weekend of February 21st & 22nd, a table with sign-up sheets will be located in the main vestibule of the church, or you can contact Linda Ford at 410-882-4147 or at a1124mommom@aol.com.
