On behalf of the Catholic Charities
Appeal you will be asked to consider
a gift to the Archdiocesan Catholic
Charities for 2017. If you pledged last
year, please pledge again this year. If
you were not able to make a pledge
last year, perhaps a special one-time
gift would be appropriate for you.
Spend some time thinking and
praying about what you can do to
make this year’s campaign a success
as it reaches out to the most deserving
in our Archdiocese.
We are saddened by the
loss of one of our Life
long parishioners, Mrs.
Jean Lewis Gill. Mass
of the Christian Burial
will be celebrated on
Saturday, Feb. 4th at
10:00am.
The burial will follow
a t G e t h s e m a n e
Cemetery. Please keep her and her
family in your prayers and Masses.
May Her Soul Rest In Peace
What is the good life which God intends for us? And how is it related
with the ultimate end or purpose of life? Is it not our desire and longing
for true happiness, which is none other than the complete good, the sum
of all goods, leaving nothing more to be desired? Jesus addresses this
question in his sermon on the mount. The heart of Jesus' message is that
we can live a very happy life. The call to holiness, to be saints who
joyfully pursue God's will for their lives, can be found in these eight
beatitudes. Jesus' beatitudes sum up our calling or vocation - to live a life
of the beatitudes. The word beatitude literally means "happiness" or
"blessedness".
God reveals to the humble of heart
the true source of abundant life and
happiness. Jesus promises his
disciples that the joys of heaven will
more than compensate for the
troubles and hardships they can
expect in this world. Thomas
Aquinas said: "No one can live
without joy. That is why a person
deprived of spiritual joy goes after
carnal pleasures." Do you know the
happiness of hungering and thirsting for God alone?
Your final 2016 Contribution Statement (useful for IRS tax purposes)
will be available upon request the end of January. If you note any errors,
call the Rectory so that adjustments can be made.
Parents, please remember to
register your children for their
CCD Sunday School Classes.
Both First Communion and
Confirmation require a 2 year
preparation. Registration forms
(one per child) are located in the
Complete and drop off at the
Rectory.
