A Mountain Experience

Abraham led his son up a mountain; Jesus led Peter, James and John un a mountain. Their lives are changed! How could they ever be the same a er those experiences!

In Lent we strive to climb the mountain to find the sacred. Are we ready to have our breath taken away? Are we ready for the changes that will occur once God makes known what is willed for us? The mountain experience will change us. We won’t be the same.

LENT 4.2 CONSUMPTION

How much do you think you could carry up the mountain with you? This week’s Lenten prac ce invites us to reconsider our rela onship to “stuff”.

The pace of consump on is incredible …can it be sustained? And, what are the consequences for our society and the planet? Once again I invite you to slowly read our bulle n insert for this week; to listen to “What the Church is Saying” and to consider ac on steps in our buying and consuming.

Fr. Bill

Una Experiencia de Montaña

Abrahán guiaba a su hijo a subir una montaña; Jesús guiaba a Pedro, San ago y Juan a subir una montaña. ¡Sus vidas fueron cambiadas! ¿Cómo podrían ser las mismas personas después de esa experiencia?

En la Cuaresma nos esforcemos a subir la montaña a encontrar lo sagrado. ¿Listos para

una experiencia así? ¿Estamos listos para los cambios que vendrán cuando Dios nos revela su voluntad? La experiencia de montaña nos cambiará. No seres lo mismo.

CUARESMA 4.2 CONSUMIR

¿Cuántas cosas puedes llevar con go a la cima de la montaña? La prac ca cuaresmal para esta semana nos invita a pensar en nuestra relación con “cosas”.

El rito de consumir es increíble …¿puede ser sostenido? Y, ¿Cuáles son las consecuencias para nuestra sociedad y el planeta? Una vez más les invito a leer detenidamente la hoja del bole n para esta semana; a escuchar a lo que “La Iglesia Dice” y considerar acciones en cuanto a la compra y consumo.

Did you know that St. Philip has a hearing loop?

Have you been wondering about the blue

“ear” signs posted at several places around the church? This is a universal symbol of a hearing loop.

St. Philip has had a hearing loop in operation since this past November. If you have hearing challenges, we recommend

you speak to an usher and utilize a hearing loop receiver and headset (or bring your own headset or ear buds if you

wish). Even better, if you have a hearing aid that is equipped with a tele-coil, or T-coil, you can benefit from

the hearing loop by having the sound come to you directly through your hearing aid. Contact your audiologist or the

parish office (920-468-7848) with questions. We have heard some comments about the hearing loop and would

like to hear more, whether you have benefitted or have had difficulty with it. Thanks!

2018 Bishop’s Appeal Update Parishioners have likely received a letter from Bishop Ricken asking them to consider contributing to this year’s Bishop’s Appeal, “Embracing a Life of Discipleship.” The Bishop’s Appeal supports numerous diocesan and charitable ministries, as described in the video we watched a few weeks ago and in the materials available in the back of church. Your help is greatly appreciated! St. Philip has a goal for 2018 of $27,352. Thus far St. Philip parishioners have contributed $10,325 (37%). The parish is responsible for the goal amount; if we do not reach that, we need to pay the difference. Help us to, like last year, reach our Bishop’s Appeal goal! Nuestra parroquia tiene una meta para el año 2018 de $27,352. Hasta ahora los miembros de San Felipe han contribuido $10,325 (37%). Nuestra parroquia es responsable por la cantidad mencionada; si no logremos la meta, necesitamos pagarla de fondos de la parroquia. ¡Ayúdanos a llegar a la meta, igual como hemos hecho el año pasado!

2nd Sunday of Lent

“’Here I am!’ he answered.” - G 22:11

It is easy to say, “Here I am, Lord,” when we are kneeling in church. But how easy is it to say

“Here I am, Lord,” when a neighbor needs our help, when we are invited to join a parish ministry, or when

we are asked to provide financial support? Often times we are called when it’s not convenient for us. Discipleship is not always easy, most of the time it

will make us uncomfortable and vulnerable.

2º domingo de Cuaresma

"¡Aquí estoy!, Respondió. "- GÉNESIS 22:11

Es fácil decir: "Aquí estoy, Señor", cuando estamos arrodillados en la iglesia. Pero ¿qué tan fácil es decir

"Aquí estoy, Señor", cuando un vecino necesita nuestra ayuda, cuando nos invitan a unirnos a un ministerio parroquial, o cuando se nos pide que

brindemos apoyo financiero? Muchas veces nos llaman cuando no nos conviene. El discipulado no siempre es

fácil, la mayoría de las veces nos hará sentir incómodos y vulnerables.
