Italian Catholic Federation: Let us take some time in prayer today to recognize and Janet Glaubke (408) 225-0743 appreciate that we are, indeed, called by God to bring the Gospel to those who most need to hear it. But to what specific mission is Hispanic Community: God calling us at this point in our life? Let us listen to the words Elania Tablada (408) 984-3519 of Jesus in our heart, to the advice of people who know us, and to our Portuguese Community: own unique gifts, circumstances and concerns. If we pray for this with a Filomena Bettencourt (408) 221-5236 sincere heart, we will probably not be struck down on the road with a Mandarin Community: specific answer, but we will ultimately know where God is calling us now.

    St. Agnes of Rome / St. Rose of Lima 978 -774 -1958 / 978 - 887– 5505 Parish Office: 22 Boston St. Middleton TCI.church Dear Parishioners, As a seminarian, my time here at St. Agnes parish and St. Rose of Lima parish has been great! I have learned and experi- enced so much. At the end of the Summer, I will return to St. John’s Seminary to continue my formation to the priesthood, returning here to Topsfield and Middleton once or twice a week during the academic year. Next summer, I will be able to be with you for the whole summer as a Deacon, and then for the following year in my final year of preparation for Priesthood. To travel from the seminary to Topsfield and Middleton takes approximately one hour, but I do not yet have a car. I write this as an appeal to ask if you may have a car you are getting rid of or selling, or know someone who is, if you could please let me know. This will enable me to commute on a weekly basis from the seminary to our parishes as part of my training for Priesthood, and to have transportation between our two parishes when I am here. I would be happy to buy an inexpensive car or receive one from any person’s generosity. Thank you very much for your care and generosity, and may God bless you. Amen. Your Brother in Christ, Maxwell Chukwudiebere. Even in the midst of a global pandemic, service to others remains core to the work of our Church.

  • Saints Related to Young People
    Saints Related to Young People Thomas Aquinas—Academics Thomas was a gentle teacher who believed faith and reason when used wisely would enable all humanity to know and love God as the angels. He studied in Paris from 1245-1248 under Saint Albert the Great, then accompanied Albertus to Cologne. Here he received the nickname “dumb ox,” though he is now considered a Doctor of the Church, and one of the most intelligent philosophers of all time. Vitus—Against Oversleeping For obscure reasons, some 16th century Germans believed they could obtain a year's good health by dancing before the statue of Saint Vitus on his feast day. This dancing developed almost into a mania, and was confused with chorea, the nervous condition later known as Saint Vitus' Dance, the saint being invoked against it. Francis of Assisi—Animals, Catholic Action It is no use walking anywhere to preach unless our walking is our preaching. Son of a rich cloth merchant. Misspent youth. Street brawler and some-time soldier. During an imprisonment in Perugia, he had a conversion experience, including a reported message from Christ calling him to leave this worldly life. Upon release, Francis began taking his religion seriously. Christopher—Drivers His fame derives from the pious legend of him being a "Christ-bearer" (= Christopher). He was a powerfully built man who wandered the world in search of novelty and adventure. He came upon a hermit who lived beside a dangerous stream and served others by guiding them to safe places to cross. George—Boy Scouts Several stories have been attached to Saint George, the best known of which is the Golden Legend.

  • St. Agnes of Rome
    St. Agnes of Rome Commemorated on January 21 The holy Virgin Martyr Agnes was born in Rome during the third century. Her parents were Christians, and they raised her in the Christian Faith. From her youth she devoted herself to God, and dedicated herself to a life of virginity, refusing all other suitors. When she refused to enter into marriage with the son of a city official, one of his associates revealed to him that Agnes was a Christian. The wicked official decided to shame the holy virgin, and ordered that she be stripped and sent to a brothel for disdaining the pagan gods. But the Lord would not permit the saint to suffer. As soon as she was disrobed, long thick hair grew from her head covering her body. An angel was also appointed to guard her. Standing at the door of the brothel, the angel shone with a heavenly light which blinded anyone who came near the holy virgin. The son of the official also sought to defile the virgin, but fell down dead before he could touch her. Through the fervent prayer of St. Agnes, he was restored to life. Before his father and many other people he proclaimed, “There is one God in the heavens and on earth: the Christian God, and the other gods are but dust and ashes!â€​ After seeing this miracle, 160 men believed in God and were baptized, and then suffered martyrdom. At the demand of the pagan priests, St. Agnes was given over to torture. They tried to burn her as a witch, but the saint remained unharmed in the fire, praying to God.

After many exceedingly harsh torments, she gave up her spirit in prison at Catania in 251, because she did not consent to the seductions of Quintian, the Governor of Sicily. At her burial, an Angel placed a stone tablet on her grave inscribed with the words, "A righteous mind, self-determining, honor from God, the deliverance of her father-land." The following year this was fulfilled when Mount Etna erupted, spewing forth violent fire from which Catania was manifestly saved by Saint Agatha's prayers. The holy Martyr Agatha, the protectress and chief patroness of Sicily, is, with perhaps the exception of Saint Agnes of Rome, the most highly venerated Virgin Martyr of the West. Saint Damasus, Pope of Rome, and Saint Ambrose of Milan both wrote in praise of her. ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ Welcome to all visitors who are worshiping with us this morning.

  • St. Francis of Assisi Church Springfield, Illinois
    St. Francis of Assisi Church Springfield, Illinois (St. Francis of Assisi Church east facade) Introduction St. Francis was born in Assisi, Italy in 1182 and died October 3, 1226. The son of a fabric merchant, he enjoyed status and wealth, but he gave up every material thing he owned to follow the path of God. St. Francis devoted himself to solitude, prayer, and service to the poor, and his commitment to poverty was the keynote of his spirit and way of life. His life showed how to have compassion for the poor, the outcast, and the oppressed and inspired a journey toward peace, nonviolence, and reconciliation. His message is a light for the present and the future. The decision to construct St. Francis of Assisi Church came from the realization that this property would become the Motherhouse of the American Province of the Hospital Sisters of St. Francis: the place where women would be prepared for religious life, the place where the Sisters would return for Community gatherings, and a place the Sisters could call home. From 1875-1930, the Motherhouse was at St. John’s Hospital, 800 East Carpenter Street, Springfield, IL. In 1920, after several years of planning, construction began on this church under the direction of Monsignor Joseph C. Straub, Priest Director of the Hospital Sisters of St. Francis, and Mother Marciana Willebrand, OSF, Provincial Superior of the Hospital Sisters of St. Francis. On April 27, 1924, at 9:30 a.m., Bishop James A. Griffin, Diocese of Springfield in Illinois, officiated in the solemn Dedication Mass, consecration of the altar, and pontifical benediction.
