FEAST OF SAINT BLAISESunday, Feb. 3, we celebrate the feast of St. Blaise and the blessing of the throats. It is a very special ceremony that is prac-ticed on his feast day. Two candles are consecrated for this sacramental. They are blessed on Candlemas on Feb. 2.
Each year after Mass, we bless throats. The person saying the blessing of the throat says, “Through the intercession of Saint Blaise, bishop and martyr, may God deliver you from every disease of the throat and from every other illness: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.”
Please stay for a short while after Mass this weekend so that you can have your throat blessed and experience this won-derful sacramental of our Church.
Amen? Amen!

Saint Cecilia Dresser Project 2019For quite a number of years, Saint Cecilia parish has generously contributed to a
“dresser project.” Through this project, we collect baby items that will be donated, through Pregnancy Center East, to a mother who has made the choice of life for her unborn child. Many parishioners find this to be a very positive way to express their support for the pro-life movement. This year’s dresser can be found in the vestibule with a list of suggested items. We are collecting baby items from February 2 through March 3; everyone’s participation is welcome and appreciated!

CODY’S BABY: Cody and Angela Egner (photo 1) had their second son on Jan. 22. Patrick Joseph Egner weighed 6 lbs., 6 oz. 1
MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. CELEBRATION: St. Anthony parishioners celebrated Martin Luther King Jr. at the MLK Breakfast at
the Freedom Center. Pictured are George Martin and Gloria Parker-Martin, Jean and John Bange, Mary Lynne and Bob FitzGerald
and Barb Thornton (photo 2). 1 ST. JOSEPH ALTAR FLOORING: As part of the St. Cecilia sanctuary renovation project, the
step in front of the St. Joseph altar has been rebuilt using marble to match what had been there a while back (photo 3, 4). The original
step was removed when the old baptismal font was moved in front of that altar decades ago. Hard to tell it was ever gone now! 1
MARCH FOR LIFE: This year we had a lot of groups from our region attend the March for Life in Washington, DC. Fr. Jacob and
Sarah Rose took a group of young adults (photo 5). The children from Divine Mercy and Edmund Campion (photo 6) also went to
the march. It is wonderful to know that so many of our parishioners support this cause and went out in the cold to march for their
belief. 1 MINI-MARCH: There was a mini-march here in Cincinnati (photo 7) for those who could not attend the March for Life
in DC. We had some parishioners from St. Cecilia attend the local march. It was a nice turnout despite the cold and snow.

I Dream a WorldI dream a world where man
No other man will scorn,
Where love will bless the earth
And peace its paths adorn
I dream a world where all
Will know sweet freedom’s way,
Where greed no longer saps the soul
Nor avarice blights our day.
A world I dream where black or white,
Whatever race you be,
Will share the bounties of the earth
And every man is free,
Where wretchedness will hang its head
And joy, like a pearl,
Attends the needs of all mankind-
Of such I dream, my world!

Catholic FAQsWho is Padre Pio?
At age 15, St. Padre Pio took the Habit of the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin. On the day of his installation, he took the name of Pio in honor of St. Pius V. After years of study, the 23-year-old was ordained a priest. On September 20, 1918, Padre Pio was kneeling in front of a large crucifix when he received the visible marks of the Crucifixion, making him the first stigmatized priest in the history of the Church. The doctor who examined him could not find any natural cause for the wounds. Padre Pio had the ability to read the hearts of the penitents who flocked to him for confession, which he heard for 10 to 12 hours a day. He used the confessional to bring both sinners and devout souls closer to God; he would know just the right word of counsel or encourage-
ment that was needed.
“And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment.” – Hebrews 9:27
33 Days to Morning GloryA 6-week retreat featuring Fr. Michael GaitleyThursdays from February 14-March 25, 2019• 12:30 - 2PM in the rectory meeting space at St. Margaret-
St. John and facilitated by seminarian Louis Jacquemin• 7- 8:30 PM in the St. Cecilia Commons and facilitated by
Fr. Jacob Willig
From Fr. Michael E. Gaitley, MIC, author of the bestselling book Consoling the Heart of Jesus, comes an extraordinary 33-day journey to Marian consecration. Featuring the teachings of four giants of Marian spirituality—St. Louis de Montfort, St. Maximilian Kolbe, St. Teresa of Calcutta, and Pope St. John Paul II—Fr. Gaitley shows how simple it is to put Mar-ian devotion into practice.
People’s lives today are often busy and challenging. Stage 1 of the Hearts Afire parish-based program offers individuals a quick and easy way to withdraw from the demands of daily life and enter into a peaceful interior reflection on their relationship with Christ in the context of Marian devotion. We begin with the Immaculate Heart because Mary leads us to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The end result is that, by learning to entrust ourselves to the Mother of Our Lord, we can discover a transforming trust in Jesus himself.
