FOURTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
FOR THE RIDE HOME
First Reading: Deuteronomy: 18: 15-20
Second Reading: 1 Corinthians: 7: 32-35
Gospel: Mark 1: 21-28
In this reading Jesus teaches and acts with authority.
In this first miracle recorded by Mark, Jesus shows
his power over the forces of evil. Even the evil spirit
gives witness to Jesus, recognizing him as "the Holy
One of God" and submitting to his commands.

Formation link.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We should learn to trust in Jesus and his loving care
for us. We should listen each day for his quiet voice
in our hearts, urging us to trust him and to do what
he asks.
A LOOK AHEAD TO FEBRUARY...........
Wed. February 4th - Catechist Meeting for levels 1 through
6 at 7 PM in the Hall
First Grade Parent Conversation Appointments - February
and March - look for your appointment in the mail
What are our attitudes toward authority in our lives?
Are our attitudes toward Jesus the same as or different from our attitudes toward other authorities? How
or when?
Congratulations to our 2nd Graders and
Older Sacrament Class
For the past two Saturdays, the young people in level 2 and
the Older Sacrament prep. class celebrated the Sacrament of
Reconciliation for the very first time. We want to offer our
words of praise to them, their Parents and our Catechists who worked TOGETHER to prepare the
children for this important milestone in their faith life. A
special word of thanks to the visiting clergy; namely: Msgr.
Curley, Fr. Jim Shelton and Fr. Mickey Bancroft who
assisted our Pastor, Fr. Dan in celebrating this beautiful
Sacrament. In just a few months, these same young people
will join us at the Table of the Lord as they receive their
First Eucharist in the Spring.
Prayer Blanket Ministry
Meetings are held on Saturdays from
9:30am to 12:30pm. Next meeting is February 7th
New members are always welcome. Come join this
exciting ministry—we create prayer blankets, lap robes, baby blankets, preemie hats, Christmas stockings, “pink scarves”, etc. and
donate them to various organizations, nursing homes, etc. We also
share ideas, patterns and offer instruction for anyone wishing to
learn to knit or crochet or brush up on their skills. For more information call the Parish Outreach. If you have yarn to donate, we will
gladly accept it and use it. Thank you!
WANT TO BE A GODPARENT FOR BAPTISM OR A
SPONSOR FOR CONFIRMATION?
Sponsors and Godparents must have received all 3 Sacraments of Initiation: Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation
in order to be eligible. Today many adults still need to
receive Confirmation and are unsure how they can do
this. We have a simple remedy for you. Our Adult Confirmation class which is starting in a few weeks. This class is
for those over 18 who were Baptized and received First
Communion but never Confirmation. The whole process is
enjoyable, meets weekly from February through May and
culminates in receiving Confirmation here in the parish on
Pentecost Sunday. We'd love to hear from you and help you
finish your membership in the Catholic Church. Please call
Michele Hahn, at the Parish Office right away.
ARE YOU A REGISTERED PARISHIONER?

Parish in the weekly collection and we do not have
them listed in our census. We would like to make sure
you are given proper credit for your donations. Please
fill in the bottom of this page and we will send you a
registration form.
***You are not automatically registered if you received a

Matrimony, etc.

Join Us With Mary
When life got overwhelming and too big for us as
children, we turned to our mother for support and
guidance. As adults, we thank her for all she had
done for us. Now we are blessed with the opportunity
to turn to our Heavenly Mother Mary to ask for her
support and guidance, and thank her for the many
blessings she has given us. Every Wednesday after
9:00 AM mass (at 9:30), you are invited to join us as
we pray the rosary to ask for her help and guidance
and to thank her for her abounding love.
