2 | St. Maria Goretti Catholic Church · Westfield, IN November 25, 2012 January Thirty 13,-Third 2019 Sunday The Baptism in Ordinary of the TimeLord
A NOTE FROM FATHER KEVIN
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
+ Pax et Bonum!
Welcome to St. Maria Goretti on this Feast of the Baptism of our Lord! Today we come to the end of our Christmas season with the celebration of Jesus’s Baptism in the Jordan River by His cousin, St. John the Baptist. Today’s Feast is very deliberate in its intention of making all of us think about our own Baptism and our commitment to the Christ, Who came into our world for the salvation of our souls. As the lights and the trees come down and the poinsettia go away, what remains as we go into Ordinary Time is our relationship with the Word Incarnate, Jesus, Who came down into our world to be the Way, the Truth, and the Life for each of us! We do welcome all of our guests and visitors who join us for Masses this weekend. It is great to pray with you at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass!
I would like to thank everyone who attended yesterday’s Lay Leadership Workshop and all who helped put it on. These days ALL of us are called to be real leaders in the Church! It was great to reflect on how we might be able to work together to better make that happen in 2019! I thank Dr. Jason Winkle for his willingness to come and help us reflect on our leadership and example. This is a most exciting area for the Church at this time, and I am sure that we are going to hear much, much more about Lay Leadership in the next few years. Hopefully, yesterday was just the beginning of our discussion of this important area.
It may be the middle of January, and typically, this is a pretty quiet time on most parish schedules, but we’ve got a lot going on and a lot of great things coming up that need our attention right now. We are very excited about our first-ever Parish Mission trip to Guatemala this coming May. Details continue to be worked out, and final opportunities to sign up are quickly approaching. For more information about the 2019 Guatemalan Mission trip, please contact Jim Mramor or Luke Klink, both of whose numbers are listed under the Parish Council list in this bulletin (page 7). Did you also know that our high school folks in TRUTH are also sponsoring a Summer Mission Trip for our high school students? The Catholic Heart Work Camp will send our high school students to work in Nashville, Tennessee. Like the Guatemalan trip, the deadline for signing up is quickly approaching! For more information about the TRUTH Summer Mission Trip, please contact Janet Thompson, Youth Minister, [email protected].
We are also coming up on the deadline for registrations for next month’s Destination Jesus youth retreat. Destination Jesus 2019 is scheduled for February 15–17 at Guerin Catholic High School. Each parish purchases only so many “spots” for this most popular youth retreat weekend, and those “spots” allotted for St. Maria Goretti are going quickly. The deadline for reserving your place at Destination Jesus 2019 is next weekend, January 20! We need all our high school folks to get their registrations in this week. Don’t miss out on this year’s Destination Jesus!
This weekend we are also getting our first opportunity to sign up for our 2019 Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner event, which will take place on Saturday evening, January 26. Sponsored by our Parish Council, Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner is a great way to get to know some new friends here at the Parish and to reconnect with old friends. Please consider coming and joining us for this year’s event! We would love to have you involved, and specifically with this event, the more we have attend, the more fun it is for all involved! Please see the Parish Council representatives after all Masses this weekend.
There is a LOT going on! We are blessed! Let us work together to continue to build the Kingdom of God! And as we do so, let us keep one another in our prayers! Prayers make all the difference!
In Christ, Fr. Kevin
You’ll never soar like an eagle if you live like a turkey.
Welcome! For more than 23 years now, we have been building the Kingdom of God, not with a few people, but with everyone! Please accept my warmest welcome, and I pray you will come to know St. Maria Goretti as we all do—our Spiritual Home and Loving Community. We are glad you are here and look forward to meeting you! God Bless you. —Father Kevin
