MARCH 17, 2019 PAGE 4 Putting Our Faith Into Action - Catholic Relief Services (CRS) - YOUTH BUILD Eduardo Gomez took three public buses, starting at dawn, to be the first to arrive at the CRS YouthBuild program to grab a seat and put his head down to avoid having to talk to his fellow students in Guatemala. He was so scared that he couldn’t express himself very well. After graduating from YouthBuild he is a new person: a parish youth ministry leader who started his own bakery business. And, he is much more self-confident. The intensive 6-month program, provides employment, education and leadership opportunities to young people, ages 16-25, in a loving, respectful environment. In Latin America and the Caribbean, youth are three times more likely than adults to be unemployed. They coprose more than half the population, but increasing violence and lack of economic opportunity have pushed them to join the hundreds of thousands of adults making the perilous journey to the U.S. After completing YouthBuild, 70% of young people get a job, start a business or go back to school. Visit www.crs.org/youthbuild/ Please join your fellow parishioners for a bowl of soup, a presentation and discussion that will educate and inform us about the following topics. The soup suppers are open to all St. Barnabas parishioners and guests. (Appropriate for youth in junior high and older) There will be a free will offering each evening. March 14th Sponsored by St. Barnabas Outreach Ministry Hear about the Mission Trips our parish has sponsored since 2004 and the upcoming trips for 2019. March 28th Sponsored by St. Vincent de Paul Debbie Miller will share about the program, “Heeling Hidden Hurts,” a Christ-centered free ministry, leading those who have been affected by an abortion to reconciliation and find peace. MAKE SURE TO RSVP to ensure that we have adequate soup. You can sign up for the suppers after Mass March 9/10th, email: [email protected] , use the sign up genius link, http://bit.ly/2019-LentenSoupSupper.

  • A Private Cloud Architecture Designed for High Usability
    THUNDER: A PRIVATE CLOUD ARCHITECTURE DESIGNED FOR HIGH USABILITY by GABRIEL JACOB LOEWEN SUSAN VRBSKY, COMMITTEE CHAIR MONICA ANDERSON JOHN LUSTH ASHRAF SAAD JINGYUAN ZHANG A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Computer Science in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2015 Copyright Gabriel Jacob Loewen 2015 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Cloud computing is a technological strategy for saving time, money, and resources within an organization. Underfunded and understaffed organizations benefit the most from a cloud archi- tecture because it can help to alleviate a cost burden allowing funds to be used more effectively. Therefore, we believe that non-profit organizations, such as schools, libraries, non-profit medical facilities, and others have the most to gain from cloud computing. Cloud computing has played a major role in shaping large for-profit businesses like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft. Research has suggested that cultural barriers make it difficult for professionals in non-profits to adopt cloud computing technology. One key challenge faced by organizations for which a cloud architecture would be benefi- cial is the deployment and management process. In order for private cloud computing to become a viable solution for struggling organizations, much work needs to be done to simplify and im- prove the deployment process. We describe a new cloud architecture called THUNDER, which is a recursive backronym meaning “THUNDER Helps Underfunded Nonprofits Distribute Electronic Resources.” THUNDER introduces strategies which are meant to help struggling organizations to de- crease costs. Virtual machine load balancing attempts to distribute the load across multiple nodes in order to maximize potential performance of virtual machines.

  • Gabriel Meffre 'Saint Etienne' Saint-Joseph Syrah 2016
    Gabriel Meffre 'Saint Etienne' Saint-Joseph Syrah 2016 Grape Varietal: 100% Syrah Growing Region: Saint-Joseph, Rhône Valley - France Head Winemaker: Veronique Torcolacci Last year I spent a few days with the team at Gabriel Meffre in Gigondas - France. Where this wine estate has a closely-linked history with the region - since it was founded in 1936. During my visit I had an extremely comprehensive tasting of their range, which is substantial in number and styles. It was a pleasure to spend time tasting them with Véronique Torcolacci - who not only crafted these wines but has an incredible knowledge of the region, the soils and varietals which cling to the sides of this rugged and mountainous area. The Syrah grapes for this wine are grown in a stunning part of the northern Rhône Valley. The Saint Joseph wine appellation is over 50km’s long, with steep, terraced vineyards stretching along the right bank of the Rhône River, between Condrieu in the north and St Peray in the south. Saint Joseph is produced almost entirely from Syrah, grown in light soils of schist and gneiss on granitic bedrock with steep slopes facing east, with some sites having a small number of vines planted on and over the mountain ridge, with some able to face west. This Syrah is part of the Gabriel Meffre ‘Signature’ series of wines. Showcasing and celebrating the diversity of each ‘terroir’ and grape variety. And through careful vinification, looking to expressing the purity of fruit and craft approachable early drinking style wines. The name ‘Saint Etienne’ - which means ‘crowned saint’ - was chosen for this wine in reference to the village of Saint Etienne de Valoux, where the Saint Joseph vineyards are situated.

  • “GO to JOSEPH” Brother George Schmitz, C.S.C
    “GO TO JOSEPH” Brother George Schmitz, C.S.C. Moreau Province Greetings in this year dedicated to Saint Joseph. I welcome this opportunity to share some reflections on the deep love of God and steadfast commitment to carrying out the will of God that we find in the heart of Saint Joseph. Go to Joseph. We hear these words early in salvation history. In the Book of Genesis, these are the words of Pharaoh. Joseph, son of Jacob, the slave boy, interpreted Pharaoh’s dream that seven years of plenty would be followed by seven years of famine. His prediction elevated him to a position like that of a prime minister. He wisely told the people to gather provisions in warehouses during the years of abundance. And when drought brought famine, and the people of Egypt cried out to Pharaoh for bread, he told them: "Go to Joseph and do what he tells you." And this same advice – Go to Joseph - was adopted by our founder and became the mantra of Saint Brother André. With such wise counsel, we, too, can go to Joseph with great confidence. We must never hesitate to go to Saint Joseph because he will be a faithful companion during our journey through life. Another powerful saint who knew this was Saint Teresa of Avila. In her autobiography, she mentions that she was healed from a serious illness through the intercession of Saint Joseph. "I took the glorious Saint Joseph for my patron and lord and sincerely entrusted myself to him. I discovered that he freed me both from my illness, and also from other major problems related to my honor and the loss of my soul.

  • Teacher Bible Study Lesson Overview
    4th-6th Grade Kids Bible Study Guide Unit 23, Session 2: John’s Birth Was Predicted TEACHER BIBLE STUDY At the end of the Old Testament, God spoke these words to His people: “Look, I am going to send you Elijah the prophet before the great and awesome Day of the Lord comes” (Malachi 4:5). Then a period of silence began. For 400 years, God did not speak to the Jewish people as He had done through the prophets. The period between the Old and New Testaments was a time of significant change. The Jews saw Persian rule overtaken by Alexander the Great and the Greeks. They were forbidden to practice religion, and the temple in Jerusalem was turned into a pagan shrine. Then Maccabeus, the son of a priest, led the Jewish people to fight for and win their independence, and the temple was cleansed. But the new leaders became corrupt, and the Jews asked a Roman general to restore order. Rome restored order among the Jews but also submitted them to Roman rule. In 37 B.C., the Roman senate appointed Herod the Great to be king over Palestine—the land of the former kingdoms of Israel and Judah. Herod was king when Jesus was born, and his son Herod Antipas was the Herod whose marriage John the Baptist denounced. (See Matthew 14:3-4.) Zechariah the priest was serving in the temple during the reign of Herod the Great when Gabriel, an angel of the Lord, appeared. Gabriel said, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, because your prayer has been heard.

God wants Billy to proclaim everywhere he goes that “God says, ‘I know how evil and violent you and your government leaders are. You must all repent of your wickedness and turn your hearts to the Lord. And I’m giving you forty days. If you don’t repent by then, I’m going to burn this entire city to the ground! You don’t have long to wait, so repent now!’ ” Billy is stunned.

  • Jonah 2 - St Gabriel’S Study Notes
    Jonah 2 - St Gabriel’s Study Notes INTRODUCTION This study is based around the format of the 4 W’s - Welcome, Worship, Word and Witness. This is a really simple format that gives an easy structure to Bible study. These notes can either be used with a small group or with individual study, prayer and worship. WELCOME: “The usual place to learn the greatest secrets of God’s grace is at the bottom.... Unless Jonah can see his own sin, and see himself as living wholly by the mercy of God, he will never understand how God can be merciful to evil people and still be just and faithful.”1 Timothy J. Keller - Consider a moment in your life when you hit a crisis point or time of extreme difficultly and pain? If you’re studying this as a group, are you willing to share that experience? - What support did you draw from during that time? What helped bring you out of it? WORSHIP In verse 9 Jonah prays: ‘But I, with shouts of grateful praise, will sacrifice to you. What I have vowed I will make good. I will say, ‘Salvation comes from the Lord.’” Jonah is still in the belly of the fish at this point but his prayer turns to praise and worship. It is often easier to give thanks and praise God when times are good but there is huge power when we praise God when life is really tough. As Matt Redman writes in his song Blessed by your name: ‘Blessed be Your name, on the road marked with suffering’.
