Still, the Christian faith is not a "religion of the book." Christianity is the religion of the "Word" of God, a word which is "not a written and mute word, but the Word which is incarnate and living". If the Scriptures are not to remain a dead letter, Christ, the eternal Word of the living God, must, through the Holy Spirit, "open [our] minds to understand the Scriptures." - CCC 108
What if thousands of people decided to fast 1 to 3 meals and then
donated $5, $10, or $15 to relief efforts to help the victims of the
earthquake in Haiti?
We could literally send thousands of dollars in aid to help those in
need and we could do it in the matter of a few days.
Join the effort and spread the word, get your entire youth group, your
church choir, your parish, your co-workers, your young adult group,
your campus ministry group, whoever you can to join this effort. Pick
one day in the next week and fast for 1 to 3 meals that day - then
donate $5, $10, or $15.
www.fastforhaiti.com is an effort of Chris Faddis and
www.livinggracefully.net - all proceeds are to be given directly to an
aid organization such as Catholic Relief Services. For more information

The Feast of Corpus Christi(Latin - Body of Christ) honors the Real Presence of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist. Traditionally celebrated on the Thursday after Trinity Sunday in order to associate it with the Institution on the Eucharist on Holy Thursday. The feast, now known as the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ, is transferred to the following Sunday in the United States, Canada and Australia. It was customary to have a Procession of the Blessed Sacrament and Benediction after Mass.
In light of the ongoing attacks on the culture of life from the current administration as well as within the Church (pro-abortion commencement speakers at Notre Dame and Xavier University) this may be of interest:
Bishop Conlon of Steubenville has put out a letter encouraging the return to Friday abstinence (with the special intention of witnessing to the sacredness of human life) as the preferred expression that "Friday should be in each week something of what Lent is in the entire year. For this reason we urge all to prepare for that weekly Easter that comes with each Sunday by freely making of every Friday a day of self-denial and mortification in prayerful remembrance of the Passion of Jesus Christ."(On Penance and Abstinence, www.usccb.org/norms)
The Gospel Inspired Group (GIG) A men's group on Tuesday's at 7pm in the Holy Family Room. Each week will begin with a discussion of next Sunday's Gospel.
LifeNight Teens, join us for food, fellowship, and discussion in Trinity Center Sunday evenings after the 5:30pm Mass.
Taize Prayer An hour of quiet song and meditation on the first Wednesday of every month at 7:30pm in the Church.
Our Wish List If you desire to assist a particular need of the parish, you may donate money earmarked for those needs specifically or to be used for any general purpose. Any amount is welcome; full cost or a portion thereof. Thank you for helping to maintain and beautify our parish home.
February is dedicated to
The Holy Family
Joseph got up, took the child and his mother by night, and departed to Egypt, and remained there until the death of Herod.
This was to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the
prophet, “Out of Egypt have I called my son.”
Matthew 2:13-15 RSV-SCE
O most loving Jesus, Who by Thy surpassing virtues and the example
of Thy home life didst hallow the household in which Thou didst choose
to live while on earth, mercifully look down upon this family, whose
members, humbly prostrate before Thee, implore Thy protection. Remember
that we are Thine, bound and consecrated to Thee by a special devotion.
Protect us in Thy mercy, deliver us from danger, help us in our
necessities, and impart to us strength to persevere always in the
imitation of Thy Holy Family, so that, by serving Thee and loving Thee
faithfully during this mortal life, we may at length give Thee eternal
praise in heaven.
O Mary, dearest Mother, we implore thy assistance, knowing that thy divine Son will hearken to thy petition.
And do thou, most glorious patriarch, St. Joseph, help us with thy
powerful patronage, and place our petitions in Mary's hands, that she
may offer them to Jesus Christ. Amen.
