Epiphany of the Lord

January 8, 2017

A Message From Your Pastor Scripture Readings My Dear Parishioners, Second Sunday in Ordinary Time January 15, 2017 One of the most fascinating parts of the Gospel is Isaiah 49: 3, 5-6 the passage we hear each year, of the journey of the Psalm 40 Magi to the home of Joseph and Mary. There, they 1 Corinthians 1: 1-3 encounter a simple child, who they recognize not only as the newborn King of the Jews, but as the Prince of John 1: 29-34 In our Gospel from John, we hear John the Rev. Monsignor Peace for all the world. What fascinates me personally John C. Marine is that God used a star to lead them to Jesus, and to the Baptist’s side of the story of Jesus’ baptism. And fulfillment of their quest. John has seen the Spirit come down upon Jesus. God still uses stars to guide people to the place of their fulfillment. We have all been baptized with that same Spirit. However most often, it is not a star in the heavens, but stars here on earth As you listen to these readings, what do you hear who are simply people like you and me, who call and invite people to find the Spirit calling you to do? their answer in Jesus Christ. A little over a year ago, you may recall as a parish, we participated in a priesthood vocation program, held throughout the Archdiocese, entitled Adoration Chapel "Called by Name." You were invited to take a pew card, and nominate a Altar Candle Dedication young man from the parish who you felt had the qualities of a future priest. I in turn informed those nominated about their selection, with the hope that Jan. 9-15 this might be an incentive, a star if you wish, to lead that young man to at In memory of Frances & Stanley Jezak least consider the call. Letters were sent to about 20 young men around (Req. by Marie Lis & family) January of 2016. Weeks are still available As recently as last November 2016, those 20 men were sent an for Spring and Summer of 2017. additional letter, inviting them to a program that we priests, along with Just come into the Parish Office to reserve. parishioner John Gaul, Fr. Steve DeLacy our Archdiocesan Vocation Candle dedications are a $30 donation for the week. Director, and Maritza Kelly our Youth Minister, put together, entitled GIFT CARDS ARE AVAILABLE! "Shadow a Priest for a Day." Six of the 20 young men accepted the invitation to the shadow day, which we held on Tuesday, December 27. They arrived at the rectory at Noon, where they were served lunch. Welcome Our New Parishioners Following lunch, each of us priests took two of them with us on pastoral John Shackleton visits, either to St. Mary Hospital, Twining Village or to the home of New parishioners can register shut-ins. Upon returning to St. Bede, they were led on a tour of our priest by seeing one of our priests after Sunday Mass. house, which was followed by a gathering in our living room, where two seminarians shared their vocation story and talked about life in the seminary. After time for questions and more interactions with Fr. DeLacy, Remember The Deceased the young men headed to our chapel, where they spent some time before the William Moore, John “Jack” Wieckowski, Eucharist for silent reflection, followed by dinner in the rectory, served by Marie McKenzie, Helen Dougherty the Knights of Columbus. We are united in prayer with their families and with one another as we and all the faithful departed await our rising with the Lord. After dinner, the day finished with a basketball game against the St. Charles Seminary team. At halftime, the seminarians talked to the *** participants, and a mother of a seminarian gathered with the parents of the Please remember in your prayers the soul of participants, sharing what it is like to have a son in the seminary.

She is also Just another way that St. Bede is a star!
