sharing all the gifts God has placed in our hands, the peace
of Christ truly will control our hearts and we will know
Christmas joy every day.

Catholic Charities USA – You Did it for Me
It is the season for giving! In Nigeria, Catholic Relief
Services is working with partners to help give the gift of
education to women in The Feed the Future Project. The
project helps family farmers improve their crops. It also
helps them by teaching life skills like reading and writing.
The 5-year program will help 42,000 families boosting their
crops, income and improving nutrition.

Attn: Eucharistic Ministers
Celebrating the Eucharist is at the very heart of our faith.
However, because of illness or injury, many of our fellow
Catholics in the local community area cannot join in the
celebration. To ensure that these community members
stay connected to us, Aultman Hospital is currently
seeking Extraordinary Eucharistic Ministers to provide
the Eucharist to those who are hospitalized. These
volunteers are a wonderful “invisible army” that works
quietly, diligently, and lovingly to bring our Lord to those
who could not otherwise receive communion. If you are
currently commissioned as an EM or are interested in
becoming one and are able to devote approximately three
hours a month, you are encouraged to contact:
Deacon Dennis Ross at 330 494 2741 or
[email protected]. for fur ther information.

Why Do We Do That?
LITURGICAL POSTURES (Part 2)
“Kneeling is also a posture expressing humility. On
our knees before God, we beg for God to hear our
prayers. Kneeling is a posture of submission, of
saying yes. It is a posture of adoration and reverence.
We kneel at solemn moments of the liturgy; in the
United States, kneeling is the posture we take during
the eucharistic prayer from after the Holy, Holy, Holy
until after the great amen (see GIRM 43). Some
people kneel after receiving Holy Communion as a
posture of adoration. A variation of kneeling is
genuflecting, during which the right knee is bent to
touch the floor (see GIRM 174). We genuflect before
the Blessed Sacrament reserved. Like kneeling, it is a
gesture of humility, adoration, and reverence.”

at 7:00 P.M.
Hosted by St. Barbara Parish
The joy of Christmas should last the whole season,
and we will celebrate in music the mystery and
majesty of Christmas with the arrival of the three
magi at Epiphany.
The bell choirs and adult choirs of St. Joseph’s Parish
(Massillon), St. Michael the Archangel Parish
(Canton), St. Mary’s Choir of St. Benedict/St. Mary
(Canton), as well as our very own St. Barbara’s Choir
and Bell Choir are collaborating to bring you the
beauty of Christmas here at St. Barbara’s!
The Youth Bell Choir for St. Barbara School will also
be performing a 10-minute bell prelude!
Epiphany marks the arrival of the end of our
Christmas season – our last chance to sing our
favorite Christmas carols. We will celebrate in music
and in faith the peace and beauty that this child of
mercy brings. The concert will be about an hour in
length and appropriate for the whole family.
It is free and open to the public, and refreshments
will be served afterwards.
Let us “haste to bring him laud,
the babe, the son of Mary.”
Thank you – from Rachel A. Hrbolich,
Associate Director of Social Services, Catholic Charities,
Diocese of Youngstown.
Dear Father Cline,
Thank you and the parishioners of St. Barbara Church for
your generous donation of $2,342.74 to support our 2016
First Step for Change campaign.
Catholic Charities is often an “agency of last resort” for
many who find themselves in a financial crisis. Your
support for First Step for Change enables us to provide
food, formula, diapers and other forms of material
assistance to pregnant women and families with children
ages 0-3 in our community. By providing help, Catholic
Charities works to create hope for those who struggle to
obtain the basic necessities of life that many of us take for
granted.
May God bless you and your parish for upholding the
dignity and value of human life by supporting First Step
for Change.
Thank you for participating in this project.
Sincerely,
Rachel A. Hrbolich
