Pastoral Visitation

Prayer Requests

If you have any of the above pastoral

needs, please contact your Parish Office.

Everybody has a place at the table, and nobody deserves to feel inferior, unworthy, unwanted, or marginalized. It is not part of God’s vision. Jesus

came to heal, make things whole, set things right, and restore relationships. No one is to feel unwelcome or alienated from the community. Whether

we like it or not, this message is at the core of the Gospel. It makes a lot of sense when you think about it. Perhaps this is why people kept coming

from everywhere to listen to Jesus speak and to be in his presence. He made perfect sense. There are no easy solutions to the world’s dilemmas.

But one thing is for certain, everyone matters.

Bishop’s Annual Appeal

The Bishop’s Annual Appeal supports ministries that benefit you, your

family and your greater parish community. Please make a gift today.

Each dollar raised goes directly to ministries that support our Catholic

faith and is not used for any other purpose. This year’s theme, “Gifts

Offered by Human Hands,” challenges us to live our baptismal call,

recognizing that “every great gift comes from above,” and therefore is

ordained to the purpose of furthering God’s kingdom here on earth.

May the work of our local Church be fruitful in the mission of bringing

that reign to light.

As the Body of Christ, we should recognize that there is no “us and

them” in regard to our parish communities and the diocese. Our very

mission makes us interdependent. Ultimately vibrant diocesan

ministries set the tone for vibrant parish ministries. So, I never fail to

send in a donation to this appeal, and I thank you for your generous

support of our local Church!

St. Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is a cultural treasure, a day to express affection to a

friend or lover. Our modern observance is a curious attachment to the

3

rd

century Saint Valentine. St. Valentine was a priest and physician,

who took compassion upon the martyrs of his day and buried their

bodies. When he was caught and identified as a Christian, he was

beaten and eventually beheaded on February 14, 270 A.D.

Apparently, our modern tradition of romance sprang from the seasonal

changes in England, where the pairing of birds was to be expected

around the feast of St. Valentine, February 14. Though it has evolved

to cupids and arrows, candy hearts and love letters, it is important to

note that the pure love of a martyr is the origin of this feast day. Never

forget Jesus said, “This is my commandment: love one another as I

have loved you. There is no greater love than this: to lay down one’s

life for one’s friends” (John 15:12-13). St. Valentine fulfilled this

command. May we follow in that same spirit.

Ash Wednesday

This Wednesday is Ash Wednesday. “Remember that you are dust, and

to dust you shall return.” It is time to return to the Lord from whom we

come. “For our hearts are restless until they rest in God”

(St. Augustine). For the sake of safety we have added two services to

our schedules and will be distributing ashes by sprinkling them upon

the top of the head. There will also be small containers for families to

administer amongst themselves. A card with a brief prayer service will

be available with the ashes. The hope is that all of us can

commemorate Ash Wednesday in a meaningful way. Please note the

bulletin schedule and common page for details.

Scriptural Quote for the Week

I turn to you, Lord,

in time of trouble,

and you fill me with

the joy of salvation.

Psalm 32:7
