THE YEAR OF ST. PAULA special year will be dedicated for the Bimillennium Celebrations of the Birth of theApostle Paul. This Pauline Year will run from June 28, 2008 to June 29, 2009 Pope Benedict XVI

We will celebrate this Pauline Year with a Parish Mission during Lent. It will befacilitated by Father Rick Walsh a member of the Paulist Community in Toronto.

After his conversion, on the way to Damascus, Paul traveled throughout parts of Asia Minor (currently Turkey), Syria, aArabia (now Jordan), all the way to Jerusalem, before reaching Europe, Greece and ultimately Rome. One can reasonably dhis journeys back to around 50 A.D. or so.

First JourneyFrom Antioch to Cyprus and to the south of Anatoly (Perge, Antioch of Psidia, Iconium, Lystra and Derbe), Paul and Barnapreached with ardor in the synagogues the Good News of the Resurrection and salvation of Jesus, establishing some communithere. When the Jews distanced themselves from him, Paul then turned his preaching towards the Gentiles.

TEN WAYS TO GET MORE OUT OF ADVENTTEN WAYS TO GET MORE OUT OF ADVENT (continued from last week)66) Pray for patience: If you find yourself becoming anxious or upset, ask the Lord for the gift of patience. Then m

a conscious effort to be a more patient person.

7) Get rid of grudges: Use Advent as an opportunity to let go of any anger or resentment that you might be holding on

8) Do something nice for someone every day: It might be an encouraging word, a phone call, a note of appreciation

little act of kindness.

9) Offer up: something painful or difficult in your life. The best way to transform trials and tensions is to turn them in

prayer.

10) Think about: the special gifts and talents God has given you. How are you using these gifts?
