Middle School Faith Formation
My dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
Has the Pandemic completely worn you down? Is your life a
struggle and does nothing seem to make sense anymore? Are
you consumed by fear or anxiety in your daily life hoping that
everything would just change back to the way it was, back to
“normal”? Well, good news is on the way, a way to change your
life! God’s got this! Give it to Him and let go of your being in
control. How?
This week we will begin our Lenten Journey. The questions most
people ask are; What is Lent and what am I supposed to do?
Since I was a child, I have always been told I should be giving up
something, but is that all that Lent is about? No!
Lent is a time of preparation. It is a time for you to prepare your
spiritual being. It is a time of renewal and cleansing oneself to be
more in tune with what God’s will is for you. It is a time of
repentance, fasting, reflection, prayer and ultimately celebrating.
Yes, celebrating! Improving your spiritual being takes time. As
one would exercise to improve their physical health, it is just as
important, even more so, to improve one’s spiritual health. Use
this upcoming Lenten Season to do that.
Start today. Prior to Ash Wednesday, start thinking about and
acting on what improvements you can make and what you will
commit to do during Lent. How are you going to work on your
spiritual life? Perhaps you could be more prayerful, say a daily
rosary, or attend Mass more than once a week. You could go to
the Sacrament of Reconciliation, reaching out to assist others in
need, giving or increasing your donation to an organization or
your church, or perhaps spending more time alone, undistracted.
Maybe take time during Lent to disconnect from social media to
enjoy other things in life, read the Bible or engage more fully in
your time with God. Perhaps shut off your phone and spend that
time focused on the person you want to become.
Many believe that Lent is about “giving up”, like candy or smoking
or using bad language or … What Lent is really about is “giving
of”; your time, treasures and talents. It is great to make sacrifices
by giving up certain things or “vices”, but it is more than that. The
real joy of Lent is about turning “giving up” into “giving of”? Let say
you have a “special coffee’ every morning from the drive thru.
How about giving that up and giving the savings to a charity or
your church? The same can be done with giving up or cutting
back on cigarettes, take-out meals or fast food. “Giving of” could
also be your time, perhaps in service to the church, or a non-profit
or to visit/call a neighbor or family member or giving blankets to a
homeless shelter. Giving of your talents; fixing someone’s
plumbing or electrical problem, knitting someone a warm blanket,
painting someone a picture, becoming an usher or reader at
Mass, the possibilities are endless! Your true joy during this Lent
will be found in the feeling you have and the smiles that you
receive in “giving of” your time, treasures, and talents to others.
Lent can be a very joy filled journey by sharing yourself with
others and allowing yourself to form a more intimate relationship
with Jesus so that you may be closer to His Father. Pray to the
Holy Spirit and ask Him to fill you with all that you need to truly
change during this Lent. Embrace the journey for the reward and
joy that you will experience with the coming of Easter and Jesus’
resurrection and the renewed lifelong intimate personal
relationship with God.
Back at the first of the year, it was suggested that your focus for
2021, be on the “One”. Not the “1” in 2021, but the “One” who
suffered and died for you and rose for the forgiveness of your sins
and your salvation. If you haven’t been focused on the “One”,
during your Lenten journey begin to focus on the “1” knowing that
God is the ”One” who will provide for all your needs. As you
journey with Jesus to the cross and to His glorious resurrection,
spend more time with your family in a loving caring way and bring
them along with you. Challenge yourself and your family to spend
more time together, and join Jesus at His Eucharistic Table,
consuming Him and vowing to pray more and spend more time
with Him. Get excited about your faith and be the example of
Christ to your family, friends, coworkers, anyone you meet and
make room in your heart, your life, and your family so that God
can write His story in you.
Use this Lent to form habits that will create in you a radical love
relationship with God that will continue long after Easter and
throughout the year. Pray that your journey will be complete in the
fulfillment of your longing for a more powerful spiritual life. So,
kick off your shoes and journey with Christ to the cross and His
resurrection!
May the Lord bless all of us and may we remain focused on Him
and His ways and be prepared to welcome the risen Lord, Jesus
Christ, more fully into our lives at Easter. Have an incredibly
happy and blessed Lenten Season!
Your brother in Christ,
Deacon Frank

Ash Distribution
Due to the pandemic, for the distribution
of ashes this year, the priest or deacon
will say the words for ash imposition
ONCE in the sanctuary for all. As you come forward, make a
slight bow as ashes will be sprinkled on the crown of your head.
You are not required to come forward if you don’t want them in
your hair; however, any headgear must be removed prior to
receiving ashes.

SCRIPTURE READINGS FOR THE SIXTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
READING I LV 13:1-2, 44-46
The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “If someone has on his
skin a scab or pustule or blotch which appears to be the sore
of leprosy, he shall be brought to Aaron, the priest, or to one
of the priests among his descendants. If the man is leprous
and unclean, the priest shall declare him unclean by reason
of the sore on his head.
“The one who bears the sore of leprosy shall keep his
garments rent and his head bare, and shall muffle his beard;
he shall cry out, ‘Unclean, unclean!’ As long as the sore is on
him he shall declare himself unclean, since he is in fact
unclean. He shall dwell apart, making his abode outside the
camp.”
RESPONSORIAL PSALM PS 32:1-2, 5, 11
R. I turn to you, Lord, in time of trouble, and you fill me
with the joy of salvation.
Blessed is he whose fault is taken away, whose sin is
covered. Blessed the man to whom the LORD imputes not
guilt, in whose spirit there is no guile.
R. I turn to you, Lord, in time of trouble, and you fill me
with the joy of salvation.
Then I acknowledged my sin to you, my guilt I covered not.
I said, “I confess my faults to the LORD,” and you took away
the guilt of my sin.
R. I turn to you, Lord, in time of trouble, and you fill me
with the joy of salvation.
Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, you just; exult, all you
upright of heart.
R. I turn to you, Lord, in time of trouble, and you fill me
with the joy of salvation.
READING 2 1 COR 10:32-11:1
Brothers and sisters, Whether you eat or drink, or whatever
you do, do everything for the glory of God. Avoid giving
offense, whether to the Jews or Greeks or the church of God,
just as I try to please everyone in every way, not seeking my
own benefit but that of the many, that they may be saved.
Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.
R. Alleluia, alleluia. LK 8716
A great prophet has arisen in our midst, God has visited His
people.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
GOSPEL MK 1:40-45
A leper came to Jesus and kneeling down begged him and
said, “If you wish, you can make me clean.” Moved with pity,
he stretched out his hand, touched him, and said to him,
“I do will it. Be made clean. ”The leprosy left him immediately,
and he was made clean. Then, warning him sternly, he
dismissed him at once.
He said to him, “See that you tell no one anything, but go,
show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing what
Moses prescribed; that will be proof for them.”
The man went away and began to publicize the whole matter.
He spread the report abroad so that it was impossible for
Jesus to enter a town openly. He remained outside in
deserted places, and people kept coming to him from
everywhere.
EL PAPA FRANCISCO CONVOCA EL AÑO DE SAN JOSE (segunda parte)
Padre valiente y creativo, ejemplo de amor a la Iglesia y a los pobres
Patris corde destaca "la valentía creativa" de san José, aquella que
surge sobre todo en las dificultades y que da lugar a recursos ines-
perados en el hombre. "El carpintero de Nazaret -explica el Papa-
sabía transformar un problema en una oportunidad, anteponiendo
siempre la confianza en la Providencia". Se enfrentaba a "los pro-
blemas concretos" de su familia, al igual que todas las demás fami-
lias del mundo, especialmente las de los migrantes. En este senti-
do, san José es "realmente un santo patrono especial" de aquellos
que, "forzados por las adversidades y el hambre", tienen que aban-
donar su patria a causa de "la guerra, el odio, la persecución y la
miseria". Custodio de Jesús y María, José "no puede dejar de ser el
Custodio de la Iglesia", de su maternidad y del Cuerpo de Cristo:
cada necesitado, pobre, sufriente, moribundo, extranjero, prisione-
ro, enfermo, es "el Niño" que José guarda y de él hay que aprender
a "amar a la Iglesia y a los pobres".
Padre que enseña el valor, la dignidad y la alegría del trabajo
Honesto carpintero que trabajó "para asegurar el sustento de su
familia", José también nos enseña "el valor, la dignidad y la alegría"
de "comer el pan que es fruto del propio trabajo". Este significado
del padre adoptivo de Jesús le da al Papa la oportunidad de lanzar
un llamamiento a favor del trabajo, que se ha convertido en "una
urgente cuestión social", incluso en países con un cierto nivel de
bienestar. "Es necesario comprender", escribe Francisco, "el signifi-
cado del trabajo que da dignidad", que "se convierte en participa-
ción en la obra misma de la salvación" y "ocasión de realización"
para uno mismo y su familia, el "núcleo original de la sociedad".
Quien trabaja, colabora con Dios porque se convierte en "un poco
creador del mundo que nos rodea". De ahí la exhortación del Papa
a todos a "redescubrir el valor, la importancia y la necesidad del
trabajo para dar lugar a una nueva ‘normalidad’ en la que nadie
quede excluido". Mirando en particular el empeoramiento del des-
empleo debido a la pandemia de Covid-19, el Papa llama a todos a
"revisar nuestras prioridades" para comprometerse a decir: “¡Ningún
joven, ninguna persona, ninguna familia sin trabajo!”.

FINALIZED VISION AND MISISON STATEMENTS FOR OUR HOLY FAMILY PARISH
Our Pastoral Council has finalized Vision and Mission Statements for our parish. A Vision Statement is more about who we
want to be. A Mission Statement is how we plan to become what we want to be.
Vision Statement
Striving to be a community of intentional disciples engaging new and young Catholics, while serving all, so that together we
can actively and joyfully learn, love, and live our faith in Jesus Christ.
Beginning a Mission Statement
Holy Family Parish, established in a time of change, is called by the Father and empowered by the Holy Spirit to bring all to
Christ.
We seek to bridge established Catholics together with those who are new and young to the faith by:
Sharing in the Eucharist,
Teaching God’s Word,
Witnessing and inspiring service to others; and
Building a dynamic faith community.
Jesus, Mary and Joseph, Pray for us!
These statements can change over time, but they are our first effort to succinctly define
ourselves. They will be included in our first Holy Family Parish Handbook that will be mailed to all registered parishioners later
this month.

FASTING BROTHERS (An Extension of Seven Sisters)
The priests of Holy Family Parish each have a Seven Sisters group praying
for them. This is a quiet ministry of prayer. All prayer can become more
efficacious when aided with fasting, and so we are looking for A FEW GOOD
MEN to strengthen the prayers of those women who are committed in a
particular way to prayer for our priests. According to the rules set up by the
apostolate six men form one group (there is no fasting on Sundays) and
each man has a day of the week on which they fast or abstain from
something. You would choose the day best suited for you, and stay with
that day every week. The commitment is for one year.
If you are drawn to fasting/abstaining as a form of prayer for the benefit of
our priests please consider this joint, yet very private, ministry.
To sign up or learn more contact [email protected]
SEVEN SISTERS APOSTOLATE
BISHOP’S GROUP
The Seven Sisters Apostolate is a call to
strengthen the Church by ensuring a Holy
Hour, in the presence of the Blessed
Sacrament, is prayed every day of the week
for the sole intention of a specific priest or
bishop. You may know that each of the
priests of Holy Family Parish has a different
Seven Sisters group praying for them. The
commitment for one year is for; one woman,
one day of the week, one Holy Hour, one
priest, one heart of prayer.
Recently a group has begun for Bishop
Zubik. A bishop’s group is a little different in
that it consists of three complete groups for
one bishop. There are three Holy Hours
prayed every day exclusively for a bishop.
There are currently ten women who have
begun to pray in this new group, with a
need for-you guessed it- eleven more!
If you are a woman who feels called to
serve the Church through a commitment of
prayer please consider this apostolate.
Seven Sisters has spread all over the world,
with groups in all fifty states in the USA.
There are still only a handful in the Diocese
of Pittsburgh. Let’s grow this beautiful
ministry to support our priests and Bishop,
in thanksgiving for all that they do.
To learn more visit sevensistersaposto-
late.org To get involved with the Bishops
group call Jane and leave a message at
724-325-1168.
“To strengthen the priest is to strengthen
the Church.” St. John Vianney

Join Holy Family Parish for a special at-home retreat -
33 Days to Greater Glory – a retreat with Father Michael Gaitley
Father Michael Gaitley, author of the popular 33 Days to Morning Glory has
finished his third book, 33 DAYS TO GREATER GLORY: A TOTAL
CONSECRATION TO THE FATHER THROUGH JESUS BASED ON THE
GOSPEL OF JOHN. Our Parish has arranged a discounted bulk rate of this
book for us to hold another at-home retreat during Lent, beginning on Ash Wednesday, February 17 and
ending on Palm Sunday, March 28. Each day involves a reflection reading from the book and a
consecration on the concluding day that we will have at our weekend Masses on Palm Sunday. The book
also includes a nine (9) day consecration to St. Joseph. In addition, Father Nathaniel Polinski, OSB, one of
the popular guest Benedictine priests for Masses in Plum, recently authored an academic book, That the
Scriptures Might Be Fulfilled through Perfect Worship.
Father Nathaniel will share a presentation from his scholarly work on Palm Sunday afternoon. The title of his
presentation will be “Diving More Deeply into the Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John.”
Parishioners, especially those who have completed the 33 Days to Greater Glory retreat, are invited to
attend in person at St. John the Baptist Church or via livestream.
Copies of the 33 Days to Greater Glory are available in all churches. There is no charge for the book, but a
monetary donation in the collection is appreciated.
Beautifying Our Sanctuaries
Holy Family Parish Art and Environment
committee has been working on ways to
beautify our churches. Many of our
churches use live plants in their
sanctuaries. Over time these plants begin
to look tired and need replaced. If you
would like to donate in honor of your family
or in memory of a loved one, please send a
donation made payable to “Holy Family
Parish” to the attention of “Joyce Doyle -
Sanctuary Plants.” Please indicate the
church and how the donation should be
acknowledged in the bulletin.
We will use the money to
purchase plants that are
tolerant to the conditions of
each church.

PRAYER FOR MARRIED COUPLES
Almighty and eternal God, You blessed the union of
married couples so that they might reflect the union
of Christ with his Church; look with kindness on
them. Review their marriage covenant, increase
Your love in them, and strengthen their bond of
peace so that, with their children, they may always
rejoice in the gift of Your blessing.
We ask this through Christ out Lord. Amen.
