Religious Ed. & Youth Ministry by Simeon Willis
Year of St. Joseph Bishop Jugis has declared 2020 to be the year
of St. Joseph in our diocese! We will be focus‐
ing on this great saint throughout the year:
highligh ng devo ons such as the St. Joseph
Scapular, and interes ng facts about his life
and patronage. For more informa on, visit the diocesan web‐
site: h p://yearofstjoseph.org
February Focus: Joseph most Chaste: Chaste love requires
that one wills the good to another without taking the other to
oneself as one’s own. To Joseph was entrusted the Divine Child
and His fairest Mother. Chaste in body but also in heart, Joseph
loved freely which created the interior tranquility of order in the
Holy Family.

John XXIII room. Richard Edwards, lawyer, catechist and long me parishioner will
be giving a lecture and facilita ng a discussion for the parish on
the Church’s teachings on vo ng. This is a mely topic! Please
invite your friends!
The Church in Poli cs? Many misunder‐
stand the separa on of church and state, think‐
ing the Catholic Church ought to have no voice
in poli cs.
Firstly, this separa on was to preserve religious
freedom from the a acks of the secular state.
Secondly, the Church does not endorse candidate or par es, but
like Jesus, speaks loudly on moral issues. As with Jesus in His life
on earth, rejected and crucified by His own people, moral truths
are not tolerated today. As Christ’s hands and feet, we must vote
and speak these truths boldly, even though we may suffer scorn
and contempt from society, friends and family.
CHOICE “If you choose you can keep the commandments,” Sirach tells us. God “has set before you fire and water; to whichever you choose, stretch forth your hand” (Sirach 15:15, 16). This is a great mystery: God does not control us so completely that we cannot choose our own path. We have certain boundaries, of course, but no one but we can choose our way within those boundaries. In today’s reading from Ma hew’s Gospel, Jesus reminds us of our freedom and our responsibility for our lives. He calls us to look beyond the words of the com‐mandments, all the way to their meaning. Look beyond the adultery to the selfishness that poisons our love. Look beyond the murder to the anger that eats away at our compassion. Look beyond the perjured tes mony to the lies and decep on that drive our behavior. Our voca on is to choose life for ourselves, and to choose a path through our part of the world that helps make life possible and more abundant for others as well. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
THE CHAIR OF ST. PETER THE APOSTLE February 22 In brushing up for “Catholic Jeopardy,” it might help to know that there is only one feast on the calendar for a thing, rather than a person or mystery. It’s for a chair: Saint Peter’s chair in fact A er the Resurrec on, there can be no doubt that the disciples reserved a special place for Simon Peter in the upper room. Later, Peter became the bishop of An ‐och in today’s Syria, the place where we were first called Chris ans. From there, he went to Rome, the center of the Empire, where it is said that Peter sat in a chair in the house of Priscilla and Aquila to instruct his flock. Jesus, in entrus ng the keys of the Kingdom to Peter and his suc‐cessors, entrusted his compassion and mercy to them, and charged them with poin ng to the Kingdom of God. Compassion and mercy are to resonate through their teaching. Since the ancient sign of a teacher is the chair (“disciple” literally means one who sits at the feet of a teacher), Peter’s chair has long been treasured. Today there is a symbolic shrine of Peter’s chair above the main altar of St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome. This monument is the last work of Bernini, a huge bronze throne supported by four doctors of the Church: Augus ne and Ambrose from the Western Church, and Chrysostom and Athanasius from the East. High above it is the alabaster window of the descent of the Holy Spirit. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

“Our Lord In the Blessed Sacrament has His hands full of graces, and He is ready to bestow them on anyone who asks
for them.”
- St. Peter of Alcantara
Society of St. Vincent de Paul This is something we have addressed many mes but would like to address again. It is true in our lives and true in St. Vin‐cent de Paul in dealing with those who come to us for help. We cannot be everything to everyone. We are not a crisis center. Evic ons and u lity shut‐offs happen, some mes because of the decisions we make to buy a car, TV, or other item that is above our ability to pay for. We also see it in the high price apartments people are living in. There is help, but if it is for a u lity, we are asked to send clients to the agency that has CIP or LIEAP money. That is government money. Our mission and goal isn't just to pay bills, but to make a home visit, to sit down and go over what is needed to get back to living within your income. Our funds for helping clients comes from our parishioners. We have a fiduciary responsibility to use those funds to the best possi‐ble use. That would not include funding an irresponsible way of living, be it a single person or a family. Our choices should be to take care of our basic needs: a place to live, a job, food, and daily necessi es. We have rights, but with each right there a responsibility on our part. ‐ Your Vincen ans
Sociedad de San Vicente de Paúl Esto es algo que hemos abordado muchas veces pero que quisiéramos abordar nuevamente. Es cierto en nuestras vidas y es cierto en San Vicente de Paúl al tratar con aquellos
que acuden a nosotros en busca de ayuda. No podemos ser todo para todos. No somos un centro de crisis. Se producen desalojos y cor‐tes de servicios públicos, a veces debido a las decisiones que tomamos para comprar un au‐tomóvil, un televisor u otro ar culo que está por encima de nuestra capacidad de pago. También lo vemos en los apartamentos de alto precio en los que vive la gente. Hay ayuda, pero si se trata de una empresa de
servicios públicos, se nos pide que enviemos clientes a la agencia que ene dinero CIP o LIEAP. Eso es dinero del go‐bierno. Nuestra misión y obje vo no es solo pagar facturas, sino hacer una visita al hogar, sentarnos y repasar lo que se necesita para volver a vivir con sus ingresos. Nuestros fon‐dos para ayudar a los clientes provienen de nuestros feli‐greses. Tenemos la responsabilidad fiduciaria de u lizar esos fondos para el mejor uso posible. Eso no incluiría financiar una forma de vida irresponsable, ya sea una sola persona o una familia. Nuestras opciones deben ser atender nuestras necesidades básicas: un lugar para vivir, un trabajo, comida y las necesidades diarias. Tenemos derechos, pero con cada derecho existe una responsabilidad de nuestra parte. ‐ Sus vicen nos
