A Word from the Pastor This Sunday, January 31, kicks offer our annual celebration of Catholic Schools Week. And I believe that we have something to celebrate. Our parish has an outstanding school that provides a solid academic foundation while creating a Christian community among students, families and staff. Students not only learn the basics of our Catholic faith, but they also have the opportunity to celebrate the liturgy together and to engage in service projects that teach them that reaching out to those in need is an essential part of Christian living. Our school fosters an atmosphere in which Christian virtues and values are taught not only by instruction but also by example and witness. There is an insistence on respect for one another, the dignity of each person, and the need to foster reconciliation and peace. I am proud to say that I am a product of Catholic education from my elementary years, through high school, college, and graduate seminary courses. I am even more proud to say that I am the pastor of a parish that includes a parochial school that strives for excellence. I congratulate our school administration and teachers, our school parents and grandparents, and especially our fine students. You continue to give us every reason to be proud of St. Patrick’s School. Our school is an important part of our overall ministry as a parish. In one Heart,

After those beautiful days last week, it seems that winter has returned. The weather forecast contains the predictions of some rain in the coming days. (Of course, we need rain badly, so it would be a blessing.) We will do everything possible to hold all of our weekend and weekday Masses as scheduled. However, if the weather is really inclement, we will be forced to cancel some individual Masses. It will be a decision made on the spot after assessing conditions. Thank you for your understanding.

Fourth Sunday of Ordinary Time – Year B First Reading — Deuteronomy 18:15-20 Moses tells the people that God will raise up for them a new prophet. Responsorial Psalm — Psalm 95:1-2,6-7,7-9 A song of praise to the Lord. Second Reading — 1 Corinthians 7:32-35 Paul expresses his concern that those who are married are more likely to face the distractions of earthly life than those who are celibate. Gospel Reading — Mark 1:21-28 Jesus heals a man with an unclean spirit and his fame spreads throughout Galilee.

The Feast of St. Blaise

Wednesday, February 3 is the Feast of St. Blaise. There will be blessing of the

throats at the 7:00am and 8:00am Masses.

St. Patrick Church Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time Page Three

Religious Education & Family Ministry Reflection: Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time We hear that Jesus begins his ministry as a rabbi, a teacher. He goes into the synagogue on a sabbath and teaches with great authority. An unclean spirit recognizes Jesus as the Holy One of God. We learn about Jesus’ divine power over the unclean spirit and how people are amazed at what they see and

hear. Early in his ministry people might not have understood precisely who Jesus is; but he surly had great impact on all who met him from the very beginning. What can we do this week to get to know Jesus better? Prayer Intention: Jesus, guide our eyes and ears that we learn to see you and your divine power. Please contact the Office for Religious Education & Family Ministry with questions about sacramental preparation and ongoing faith formation at MDornisch@stpatrickcarlsbad.com or 760-729-8442.

Build a Highway for God - Lenten Bible Study with Isaiah 40-55

God has a message of hope. It came in the person of Jesus of Nazareth. Understanding Jesus as the heart of God’s message we might take a lesson from the early Church: after Jesus’ death and resurrection the Church turned to the book of Isaiah. Its poetic prophecies in chapters 40-55 provided rich insights into the significance of Jesus and how to speak hope into discouraging circumstances. Isaiah spoke to the hearts of early Christians. Let him move you as we journey together through Lent.

The study begins Monday, February 15, Time: 6:45 pm-8:30 pm It continues February 22, March 1, 8, 15, 22.

We will not meet in person; we will meet via Zoom conference (from the comfort of your own home). You need a computer (desktop or laptop) or a tablet or cell phone to meet. All who register will get an email with information how to join the meeting. There is no cost for the zoom conference to you. Register with Carole King at carole32240@gmail.com You will need the Booklet – cost $15. We will let you know when booklets are available at the parish office.

No bible study experience needed. Join us and bring a friend!

Congratulations!

Nadie está fuera del amor de Dios (Marcos 1, 21-28) En el Evangelio de este domingo, Jesús sana a un hombre con un espíritu impuro. La palabra impuro en la biblia significa que una persona es considerada profana o no digna de entrar en contacto con Dios.

El hombre del Evangelio puede haber pecado; puede ser un enfermo mental o no ser capaz de controlar sus arrebatos. Sabemos que ha interrumpido la enseñanza en el Templo y podemos imaginarnos a la gente observando a Jesús para ver su reacción. Jesús no rechaza al hombre. Jesús sana al hombre delante de todos en el Templo. Al mismo tiempo, Jesús enseña una importante lección: Nadie que busque a Dios será excluido de su amor. Jesús también revela que tiene el poder de sanar y enseñar en el nombre de Dios. En los próximos domingos, leerás más sobre los milagros de Jesús. El sana a la gente de enfermedades horribles que los mantienen aislados y solos. Nosotros no podemos hacer milagros, pero podemos compartir el amor de Dios con la gente que más lo necesita. Ese amor cambia vidas.

• Pensemos por un momento: ¿Cómo puedo actuar de forma sanadora: primero, en mi familia, y segundo, con mis amigos?

Pflaum: Venture (Enero 31, 2021)

St. Patrick Church 31 de enero del 2021 Page Four

El 17 de febrero es el miércoles de ceniza y marca el comienzo de la Cuaresma. Es un día importante para los católicos porque recibimos cenizas en la frente para indicar nuestro deseo de hacer cambios en nuestras vidas a través de la oración, el ayuno y el compartir con los necesitados. Suele ser un día en el que un gran número de católicos asiste a la iglesia. Por supuesto, necesitamos hacer un plan en la parroquia para asegurar que la gente ingrese a un ambiente seguro. Un cambio será que los ministros que coloquen las cenizas en tu frente usarán un intercambio de algodón (Q tip) para que no te toquen la frente. Se usará un Q-tip nuevo para cada persona para evitar la posibilidad de contagio de persona a persona. No tenemos un horario preciso de nuestras misas y servicios de oración para ese día. Lo anunciaremos pronto. Si aún no lo ha hecho, responda la breve encuesta que se encuentra en la pagina web de la parroquia www.stpatrickcarlsbad.com

UN NUEVO AMANECER Hoy escuchamos la manera en que Jonás, enviado por Dios para advertir a la gente, pasa como un torbellino por las calles de Nínive, asustando a los ciudadanos hasta el pánico. ¡Y funciona! Dios tiene un cambio de corazón, al ver “sus obras” como la gente se aparta del mal (Jonás 3:10). Un nuevo amanecer. Luego escuchamos a Pablo decir a los corintios: “Este mundo que vemos es pasajero” (1 Corintios 7:31). Pide un cambio de corazón. Sin llegar a decir que no hagan sus actividades diarias, les insta, misteriosamente, a vivir “como si” no están haciendo las cosas que están haciendo. Es un nuevo amanecer. Finalmente, Jesús se encuentra en la orilla y clama: “El Reino de Dios ya está cerca” (Marcos 1:14). Simón y Andrés abandonan sus redes –e incluso a su padre– y lo siguen. Es un nuevo amanecer. Todo el mundo tiene que cambiar cuando amanece un nuevo día: los ninivitas, los corintios, los apóstoles, ¡hasta Jesús! ¿No es hoy un nuevo amanecer para nosotros también? Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Misa Durante Los Dias de Lluvia

Después de esos hermosos días de la semana pasada, parece que el invierno ha regresado. El pronóstico del tiempo contiene las predicciones de algo de lluvia en los próximos días. Por supuesto, necesitamos la lluvia con urgencia, así que sería una bendición.

Haremos todo lo posible para celebrar todas nuestras misas de fin de semana y entre semana según lo programado. Sin embargo, si el clima es realmente inclemente, nos veremos obligados a cancelar algunas Misas individuales. Será una decisión que se tomará en el lugar después de evaluar las condiciones. Gracias por su comprensión.

February 17 is Ash Wednesday and marks the beginning of Lent. It is an important day for Catholics because we receive ashes on our foreheads to indicate our desire to make changes in our lives through prayer, fas ng and sharing with those in need. It is usually a day on which large numbers of Catholics come to church.

Of course, we need to make a plan at the parish to ensure that people are coming into a safe environment. One change will be that the ministers who place the ashes on your forehead will use a co on swap (Q p) so that they are not touching your forehead. A fresh Q- p will be used for each person to avoid the chance of spread from person to person.

We do not have a precise schedule of our services for that day. We will announce it soon. If you have not done so already, please answer the brief survey on our parish website.

Black History Month Every February is observed as Black History Month in the United States. It is a time to become more aware of the contributions that American of African descent have made to our nation. It is a time to learn more about the richness of the African-American culture. Beginning today and continuing throughout the month, each week we will hold up Black Catholics who are somewhere in the process of canonization as saints. There witness has contributed to the growth of the Catholic faith in the United States of America.

Venerable Pierre Toussaint (1776-1853), a philanthropist and founder of many Catholic charitable works, was born a slave in Haiti and brought from Haiti to New York as an apprentice under a popular hairstylist in the city. He eventually became the most

sought-after hairdresser of high society women. Upon the death of his master, he gained his freedom and quickly succeeded as one of the country’s first black entrepreneurs. He became quite wealthy, but instead of spending lavishly on himself, he supported the Church and the poor. He and his wife sheltered orphans, refuges, and others out on the streets in their home. He founded one of New York’s first orphanages and raised money for the city’s first cathedral. During yellow fever epidemics, Toussaint would risk his life to help others by nursing the sick and praying with the dying.“I have never felt I am a slave to any man or woman but I am a servant of Almighty God who made us all. When one of his children is in need, I am glad to be His slave.”

MENTAL HEALTH CORNER Grief & Loss -Part II In the last week's article, I mentioned the stages of grief that every individual face when he/she losses a loved one. Today, I will explain a little bit more about each one. The first thing to keep in mind is that these stages are not linear, as each one's experience is different, and we cope with loss in different ways. These stages can be experienced more than once during grief. Denial: Grief is an overwhelming emotion. It is not unusual to respond to the intense and often sudden feelings by pretending the loss or change is not happening. Denial helps you manage your feelings of grief, and it gives you time to absorb the news and gradually process it. It is a common defense mechanism and helps numb you to the intensity of the situation. As you move from the denial stage, however, the emotions you have been hiding will begin to rise. Anger: If denial may be considered a coping mechanism, anger is an underlying emotion. Anger is a hide emotion of the pain that you are holding. You might resent a person for "leaving you," causing such deep pain. Your anger might be directed at inanimate objects, strangers, friends, or family. Anger, most significantly, might be aimed toward the person you have lost, and while your rational brain knows the object or person of your anger is not to blame, your emotions at that moment are too intense to understand that. Bargaining: The natural reaction to feelings of helplessness and vulnerability is to regain control through a series of "If only" statements. It is an attempt to bargain. Guilt often accompanies bargaining; What if... You might think there was something you could have done differently to avoid your loss. It is also not uncommon for religious individuals to make promises to God in return to heal the pain. Bargaining is a defense against grief's emotions and helps

you delay the sadness, confusion, or hurt. Depression: Usually, after bargaining, grief enters into a deeper stage. You might want to withdraw from everyday life to process what you have truly lost. You might feel intense heartbreak and sadness and depression, and time may feel like a "quiet" stage of grief. However, if you feel stuck here or cannot move past this stage of grief, look for support from a mental health professional who can help you work through this coping period. Acceptance: Acceptance is not necessarily a happy stage of grief. It does not mean you have overcome the grief or loss. It means that you have accepted it and have come to understand what it means in your life now. Finding Meaning: The meaning is, in essence, a purpose and a process in which we learn to remember those who have died with more love than pain and learn to move forward in a way that honors our loved ones. The following are resources to read more about grief and loss. Kübler-Ross, Elisabeth. "On Death and Dying." 1969. Kessler, David. "Finding Meaning: The sixth Stage of Grief." 2019.

A dozen reasons to choose Catholic Schools

Sunday, January 31 is the Kick-Off of Catholic Schools Week. This year’s theme is Catholic Schools: Faith. Excellence. Service. Catholic schools have a specific purpose to form students to be good ci zens of the world, love God and neighbor, and enrich society with the “Good News” by being an example of faith. Since 1962, St. Patrick Catholic School has been commi ed to spiritual forma on and academic excellence in an environment rooted in Catholic values and the teachings of Christ.

The school’s commitment to serving others – we call it “Being the Light” – provides meaningful and consistent leadership and community service opportuni es to our students. We believe service is an essen al component to developing St. Patrick’s students into compassionate, respec ul young adults. St. Patrick’s, a pillar in the Carlsbad community, is proud to ins ll faith, leadership and knowledge in our youth.

Now more ever, St. Patrick Catholic School is commi ed to serving and providing our community with educa onal op ons. Most of our students a end in-person school, while s ll others choose distance learning for those families who need it. The safety of our community is of utmost importance and St. Pats has implemented many layers of mi ga on to keep our community safe from COVID-19. Through this most important partnership between school and home, St. Pats has been able to deliver in-person learning since August.

Due to the ongoing pandemic, interest in St. Pats has been very high, as we are one of the few schools in North County offering in-person instruc on five days a week. St. Patrick Catholic School is currently enrolling for the 2021-2022 school year. If you would like to learn more about our parish school, please visit our website: www.stpaddys.org or call the school office 760-729-1333 to schedule a tour. We look forward to hearing from you.
